$A$ point source of light moves in a straight line parallel to a plane table. Consider a small portion of the table directly below the line of movement of the source. The illuminance $E$ at this portion varies with its distance $r$ from the source as:

In the diagram shown,all the velocities are given with respect to the earth. What is the relative velocity of the image in mirror $(1)$ with respect to the image in mirror $(2)$? The mirror $(1)$ forms an angle $\beta$ with the vertical.

$A$ beaker of radius $r$ is filled with water (refractive index $\frac{4}{3}$) up to a height $H$ as shown in the figure. The beaker is kept on a horizontal table rotating with angular speed $\omega$. This makes the water surface curved so that the difference in the height of the water level at the center and at the circumference of the beaker is $h$ $(h \ll H, h \ll r)$,as shown in the figure. Take this surface to be approximately spherical with a radius of curvature $R$. Which of the following is/are correct? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
$(A)$ $R=\frac{h^2+r^2}{2 h}$
$(B)$ $R=\frac{r^2}{2 h}$
$(C)$ Apparent depth of the bottom of the beaker is close to $\frac{3 H}{4}\left(1+\frac{\omega^2 H}{4 g}\right)^{-1}$
$(D)$ Apparent depth of the bottom of the beaker is close to $\frac{3 H}{2}\left(1+\frac{\omega^2 H}{2 g}\right)^{-1}$

Discuss the sign convention of distances for reflection by a spherical mirror and refraction by a spherical lens.

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ You have learnt that plane and convex mirrors produce virtual images of objects. Can they produce real images under some circumstances? Explain.
$(b)$ $A$ virtual image,we always say,cannot be caught on a screen. Yet when we 'see' a virtual image,we are obviously bringing it on to the 'screen' (i.e.,the retina) of our eye. Is there a contradiction?
$(c)$ $A$ diver under water,looks obliquely at a fisherman standing on the bank of a lake. Would the fisherman look taller or shorter to the diver than what he actually is?
$(d)$ Does the apparent depth of a tank of water change if viewed obliquely? If so,does the apparent depth increase or decrease?
$(e)$ The refractive index of diamond is much greater than that of ordinary glass. Is this fact of some use to a diamond cutter?

If the focal length of the objective lens is increased,then:
