BITSAT PYQs for Reflection of Light by Spherical Mirrors with Solutions
1.
A simple pendulum doing small oscillations at a place \( R \) height above the Earth's surface has a time period of \( T_1 = 4 \, {s} \). \( T_2 \) would be its time period if it is brought to a point which is at a height \( 2R \) from the Earth's surface. Choose the correct relation [\( R \) = radius of Earth]:- \( T_1 = T_2 \)
- \( 2T_1 = 3T_2 \)
- \( 3T_1 = 2T_2 \)
- \( 2T_1 = T_2 \)

In a Young's double slit experiment, the intensities at two points, for the path difference \( \frac{\lambda}{4} \) and \( \frac{\lambda}{3} \) (\( \lambda \) being the wavelength of light used) are \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \) respectively. If \( I_0 \) denotes the intensity produced by each one of the individual slits, then \( \frac{I_1 + I_2}{I_0} \) is equal to:- \( 3 \)
- \( 5 \)
- \( 7 \)
- \( 10 \)

An object is placed at a distance $20\, cm$ from the pole of a convex mirror of focal length $20\, cm$. The image is produced at :- 13.3 cm
- 20 cm
- 25 cm
- 10 cm

A spherical ball of mass \( 20 \) kg is stationary at the top of a hill of height \( 100 \) m. It rolls down a smooth surface to the ground, then climbs up another hill of height \( 30 \) m and finally rolls down to a horizontal base at a height of \( 20 \) m above the ground. The velocity attained by the ball is:- \( 20 \) m/s
- \( 40 \) m/s
- \( 10\sqrt{30} \) m/s
- \( 10 \) m/s

A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of $9 \,kg$ is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass $M$, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of $M$- 25 kg
- 5 kg
- 12.5 kg
- 1/25 kg
