A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length
A. Decreases
B. Remains same
C. Increases
D. Becomes infinite
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Lens maker's formula: 1/f = (μ_lens/μ_medium - 1)(...). In water, relative refractive index reduces, so power decreases, focal length increases. Glass in water behaves less converging.
Explanation:
Resistance of a bulb is R = V^2 / P. The 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 100W bulb. When connected in series, the exact same current (I) flows through both. The power consumed (which determines brightness) is given by P = I^2R. Since the 60W bulb has higher resistance (R), it consumes more power and glows brighter.
Explanation:
Dimensionless quantities: angle (radian = arc/radius), strain (ΔL/L), refractive index (ratio of speeds). All have [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. Memory aid: 'Ratios of same dimensions ⇒ dimensionless'. Dimensional analysis question frequently tested in competitive exams to identify dimensionless physical quantities.
