8. An object 2.4m in front of a lens forms a sharp image on a film 12 cm behind the lens. A glass plate
1 cm thick, of refractive index 1.50 is interposed between lens and film with its plane faces parallel
to film. At what distance (from lens) should object be shifted to be in sharp focus on film?
(1) 2.4 m (2) 3.2 m

outside the sphere it obey the inverse square law.
Option (2) is correct.

10. A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic
lines of force. When a current is passed through the coil it starts oscillating, it is very difficult to
stop. But if an aluminium plate is placed near to the coil, it stops. This is due to
(1) induction of electrical charge on the plate
(2) shielding of magnetic lines of force as aluminium is a paramagnetic material.
(3) electromagnetic induction in the aluminium plate giving rise to electromagnetic damping.
(4) development of air current when the plate is placed.
10. The EMI uses Eddy current and hence causes a loss of Energy and hence it stops faster. Thus option
(3) is correct.

30 and match with 29 divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data

29. An electromagnetic wave in vacuum has the electric and magnetic fields E
and B
which are
always perpendicular to each other. The direction of polarization is given by X
and that of wave

propagation by k
. Then:
(1) X || E and k || E B

(2) X || B and k || E B

(3) X || E and k || B E

(4) X || B and k || B E

29. (1)
The direction of propagation of an EM wave is given by E B

and the direction of polarization is
taken to be parallel to E
.

30. A Carnot engine, whose efficiency is 40%, takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature
of 500 K. It is desired to have an engine of efficiency 60%. Then, the intake temperature for the
same exhaust (sink) temperature must be
(1) 1200 K (2) 750 K
(3) 600 K
(4) efficiency of Carnot engine cannot be made larger than 50%
