Reflection of Light
Solution
An object 40 cm high is 30cm from the pin hole camera. If the height of the image formed is 20 cm. What is the distance of the image from the pin height?
A
15 cm
B
70 cm
C
40 cm
D
40 cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
M → \(\frac{Hi}{Ho}\) = \(\frac{Di}{Do}\)
where M is the magnification, Hi is the height of the image, Ho is the height of the object, Di is the distance from the lens to the in-focus projected image, and Do is the distance from the object to the lens.
But Di = \(\frac{Hi * Do}{Ho}\) → \(\frac{20 * 30}{40}\)
Image distance(Di) = 15cm

Which component of fiber-optic connector has a provision of entry for the fibre along with the fixation to connector housing?
A
coupling device
B
cable
C
ferrule
D
connector housing
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Fiber optic couplers are used to split the input signals into two or more outputs, they are called splitters in this case.
On the other hand, some types of couplers can be used to combine two or more inputs into one single output, they are called combiners in this case.
