Emf is induced in a coil due to change of flux through it.

In the loop 1, the flux passing through it is Bπ

Hence emf induced= - = - r

Since the magnetic field does not change inside loop 2, no emf is induced in it.

Water in between the lens can be considered to be a concave lens of refractive index of
water as shown in the figure. This suggests that the radius of curvature of all the lenses is
same.

Real depth of bubble from one surface d1 =7.5cm
Similarly real depth of bubble from other surface=d2 =1.5×3cm=4.5cm
Hence the thickness of the glass is d1 +d2 =12cm

When 5eV is incident the kinetic energy is 2eV it simply means the work function is
W=5eV−2eV=3eV
Similarly When 6eV is incident the kinetic energy should be
6eV−W
=6eV−3eV
=3eV
it simply means to stop them we need a negative potential at anode equal to
3 eV
= 3V

So answer is −3V i.e. option B is correct.

N
(i) when 40% decay completes in time t1 (i.e. = 0.6) [40% decay means ,60% remaining ]
N0
⇒ t1 =−T log 2 (0.6)
N
(ii) when 85% decay completes in time t 2 = 0.15
N0
t 2 =−Tlog 2 (0.15)
So time taken ,
Δt = t2 −t 1
=T[log 2 (0.6)−log 2 (0.15)]
= Tlog 2( ) 0.6
