    Study Notes

    Telescope Resolving Power

    • Resolving power can be increased by improving the aperture size of the telescope.
    • Longer wavelengths of light reduce resolving power; shorter wavelengths enhance it.

    Refractive Index of Liquid

    • A biconvex lens behaves like a plane glass plate in a liquid with a refractive index equal to that of the lens, which is 1.47.

    Work Function Comparison

    • The surface with a lower slope in the variation of stopping potential versus light frequency indicates a greater work function.

    Invisibility of Objects

    • An object becomes invisible when a glass lens is immersed in a liquid with a similar refractive index, leading to no refraction at the interface.

    Electric Dipole in Non-Uniform Field

    • An electric dipole in a non-uniform electric field experiences both translational force and rotational torque.

    Net Electric Flux

    • A net electric flux of zero through a closed surface suggests that either there are equal numbers of positive and negative charges enclosed or no charges present at all.

    Restrictions on Problem Solving

    • Certain problems may have restrictions regarding the applications of laws and equations, potentially due to assumptions not being met.

    Implications of Force and Torque

    • The presence of both force and torque on an object in a non-uniform field implies that the object will not only translate but can also rotate about its center of mass.

    Internal Resistance of a Cell

    • Internal resistance refers to the opposition within a cell that affects the flow of electric current, leading to energy loss in the form of heat.

    Huygen's Principle and Light Refraction

    • According to Huygen’s Principle, light refracts at a convex spherical surface due to the wavefronts propagating in different mediums with varying speeds.

    Drift Velocity in Electricity

    • Drift velocity is the average velocity that charge carriers, such as electrons, attain due to an electric field in a conductor.

    Total Energy in Hydrogen Atom

    • Total energy expression in a hydrogen atom includes potential energy of the electron due to electrostatic attraction and kinetic energy of the electron in orbit.
