In parallax method for the determination of focal length of a concave mirror, the object should always be placed:

  1. between the focus (F) and the centre of curvature (C) of the mirror ONLY
  2. between the pole (P) and the focus (F) of the concave mirror ONLY
  3. at any point beyond the focus (F) of the mirror
  4. beyond the centre of the curvature (C) of the mirror ONLY

For the determination of refractive index of glass slab, a travelling microscope is used whose main scale contains 300 equal divisions equal to 15 cm. The vernier scale attached to the microscope has 25 divisions equal to 24 divisions of main scale. The least count (LC) of the travelling microscope is (in cm) :

  1. 0.002
  2. 0.0025
  3. 0.0005
  4. 0.001

Ques. 5JEE Main 2024, 6 April (Evening Shift)

In finding out refractive index of glass slab the following observations were made through travelling microscope 50 vernier scale divisions = 49 MSD; 20 divisions on main scale in each cm For mark on paper MSR = 8.45 cm, VC = 26 For mark on paper seen through slab MSR = 7.12 cm, VC = 41 For powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab MSR = 4.05 cm, VC = 1 (MSR = Main Scale Reading, VC = Vernier Coincidence) Refractive index of the glass slab is :

  1. 1.52
  2. 1.35
  3. 1.24
  4. 1.42

In an experiment to measure focal length (f) of convex lens, the least counts of the measuring scales for the position of object (u) and for the position of image (v) are u and v, respectively. The error in the measurement of the focal length of the convex lens will be:

  1. 2f [ uu+ vv ]
  2. f [ uu+ vv ]
  3. f2 [ uu2+ vv2 ]
  4. uu+ vv
