In the meterbridge experimental set up, shown in the figure, the null point ‘D’ is obtained at a distance of 40 cm from end A of the meterbridge wire. If a resistance of 10Ω is connected in series with R1, null point is obtained at AD = 60 cm. Calculate the values of R1 and R2.

उत्तर
Considering both the situations and writing them in the form of equations
Let R' be the resistance per unit length of the potential meter wire,
`R_1/R_2 = (R' xx 40)/(R'(100 -40) ) = 40/60 = 2/3`
`(R_1 + 10)/R_2 = (R' xx 60)/(R'(100 -60)) = 60/40 = 3/2`
`R_1/R_2 = 2/3 -------- (1)`
`(R_1 +10)/R_2 = 3/2 ---------(2)`
Putting the value of R1 from equation (1) and substituting in equation (2)
`2/3 + 10/R_2 = 3/2`
`R_2 = 12Ω`
Reca;;omg equation (1) again
`R_1/12 = 2/3`
`R_1 = 8Ω`

| Case study: Mirage in deserts |
 |
|
To a distant observer, the light appears to be coming from somewhere below the ground. The observer naturally assumes that light is being reflected from the ground, say, by a pool of water near the tall object. Such inverted images of distant tall objects cause an optical illusion to the observer. This phenomenon is called mirage. This type of mirage is especially common in hot deserts. Based on the above facts, answer the following question: |
Which of the following phenomena is prominently involved in the formation of mirage in deserts?
