23. . Thushar was using a galvanometer in the practical class; unfortunately it fell from
his hand and broke. He was upset, some of his friend advised him not to tell the teacher
but Thushar decided to tell his teacher. Teacher listened to him patiently and on
knowing that the act was not intentional, but just an accident, did not scold him and
used the opportunity to show the internal structure of galvanometer to the whole class.
(a) What are the values displayed by Thushar. (b) Explain the principle, construction
and working of moving coil galvanometer.
26. Drive the expression for the refractive index of the material of the prism in the terms of
the angle of prism and the angle of minimum deviation. Use this formula to calculate the
angle of minimum deviation for an equilateral triangular prism of refractive index .
Or
a) Drive the lens equation for a biconvex lens.
b) A beam of light converges to a point P. A lens is placed in the path of the convergent
beam 12 cm from P. At what point does the beam converge if the lens is
(i) a convex lens of 20 cm focal length and
(ii) a concave lens of 60 cm focal length.
