Question #2
A convex lens forms a real image of an object. If the lower half of the lens is covered, the image will:
A. Disappear completely
B. Be fainter but complete
C. Be half-formed
D. Become virtual

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Covering part of a lens reduces the amount of light reaching the image, making it fainter, but the entire image is still formed because light from each object point can pass through the uncovered portion and converge to the corresponding image point. Image position, size, and nature remain unchanged. Memory aid: 'Partial lens coverage ⇒ reduced intensity, not partial image'. This conceptual question tests understanding of image formation principles, commonly featured in competitive exams to identify misconceptions about ray optics. Always recall that every point on lens contributes to entire image.

Question #3
Due to the Earth's rotation, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is minimum at:
A. The Equator
B. The North Pole
C. The South Pole
D. A latitude of 45 degrees

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The effective acceleration due to gravity at latitude lambda is g' = g - R * w^2 * cos^2(lambda), where w is angular velocity. At the equator, lambda = 0, so cos(0) = 1. This subtracts the maximum outward centrifugal acceleration (Rw^2) from g. At the poles, lambda = 90, centrifugal effect is zero. Thus, g is minimum exactly at the equator.
