Multiple choice physics reflection of light and shadow lateral inversion right or left reflection at plane surface

Mark correct option.

  1. The laws of reflection of light hold only for plane surfaces

  2. The size of virtual image can be measured by receiving it on screen

  3. Plane mirror alongs form an erect image

  4. Plane mirror may form inverted image
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Let solve it by each option

  1. Law of reflection of light holds good for all the mirrors irrespective of their shape and size, hence option A is false
  2.  A virtual image cannot be caught on screen so we cannot measure the size, it is also a false statement
  3. Plane mirror always forms a virtual image, hence it's a false statement
  4. Light rays  which comes from the object  get reflected from plane mirror and reaches to human eye, at this point human feel that reflected ray is coming from the mirror . This is the reason why object looks laterally inverted
  5. Hence option D is the right answer

If E and B denote electronic and magnetic field respectively, which of the following is dimensionless?

  1. $\sqrt { { \mu } _{ 0 }{ \varepsilon } _{ 0 } } \dfrac { E }{ B } $

  2. $ { { \mu } _{ 0 }{ \varepsilon } _{ 0 } } \dfrac { E }{ B } $

  3. ${ \mu } _{ 0 }{ \varepsilon } _{ 0 }{ \left( \dfrac { B }{ E } \right) }^{ 2 }$

  4. $\dfrac { E }{ { \varepsilon } _{ 0 } } \dfrac { { \mu } _{ 0 } }{ B } $

A Correct answer
Explanation

We know that Velocity of light  $C _0=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu _0 \epsilon _0}}$

And also velocity of electromagnetic wave $V=\dfrac{E}{B}$
 $[C _0]=\left[\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu _0 \epsilon _0}}\right]=[LT^{-1}]$

 $[V]=\left[\dfrac{E}{B}\right]=[LT^{-1}]$

$\left[\sqrt { { \mu } _{ 0 }{ \varepsilon } _{ 0 } } \dfrac { E }{ B } \right]=[LT^{-1}]^{-1}[LT^{-1}]=[M^0L^0T^0]$    (Dimention less),

Option A

Multiple choice properties of magnet magnetic field moving charges and magnetism magnetic effects of current and magnetism physics

A particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ starts moving from origin under the action of an electric field $\vec { E }$=$E _ { 0 } \vec i $ and magnetic field $\vec { B }$=$B _ { 0 } \vec k $ . Its  velocity at $( x , 3,0 )$ is $( 4 i + 3 i )$ , the value of $x$ is:

  1. $\dfrac { 36 E _ { o } B _ { 0 } } { q m }$

  2. $\dfrac { 25 m } { 2 q E _ { 0 } }$

  3. $\dfrac { 10 m } { q E _ { o } }$

  4. $\dfrac { 25 E _ { 0 } B _ { 0 } } { m }$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$\begin{array}{l} \left( { q{ \varepsilon _{ 0 } } } \right) x=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } m{ v^{ 2 } } \ \Rightarrow q{ \varepsilon _{ 0 } }x=\frac { { 25m } }{ 2 }  \ x=\frac { { 25 } }{ { 2q{ \varepsilon _{ 0 } } } }  \ Hence, \ option\, \, B\, \, is\, \, correct\, \, answer. \end{array}$

Multiple choice properties of magnet magnetic field moving charges and magnetism magnetic effects of current and magnetism physics

Pick correct statements from among the following : 
a) Electric field and magnetic field are basically independent
b) Electric field and magnetic field are to aspects of the electromagnetic field
c) Electric field and magnetic field may be produced by charge at rest
d) A moving charge produces both electric and magnetic fields

  1. a and b are correct

  2. b and d are correct

  3. b, c and d are correct

  4. a, c and d are correct

B Correct answer
Explanation

Electric field and magnetic field are not independent. They are two aspects of the electromagnetic field. Charge at rest only produces electric field. Moving charge produces both electric field and magnetic field.

Multiple choice properties of magnet magnetic field moving charges and magnetism magnetic effects of current and magnetism physics

Two particles having the same specific change (q/m) enter a uniform magnetic field with the same speed but at angles of $30^ \circ$ and $60^\circ$ with the field. Let a, b and c be the ratios of their pitches, radii and periods of their helical paths respectively, then

  1. $abc = 1$

  2. $a + b = 2 \sqrt c$

  3. $a^2 = c$

  4. $ab = c$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Pitch p = (2 * pi * m * v * cos(theta)) / (q * B), radius r = (m * v * sin(theta)) / (q * B), period T = (2 * pi * m) / (q * B). Ratios: a = p1/p2 = cos(30)/cos(60) = sqrt(3), b = r1/r2 = sin(30)/sin(60) = 1/sqrt(3), c = T1/T2 = 1. Thus, a * b = sqrt(3) * (1/sqrt(3)) = 1, and c = 1. So a * b = c.
