The box of a pin hole camera, of length $$L,$$ has a hole of radius a. It is assumed that when the hole is illuminated by a parallel beam of light of wavelength $$\lambda $$ the spread of the spot (obtained on the opposite wall of the camera) is the sum of its geometrical spread and the spread due to diffraction. The spot would then have its minimum size (say $${b_{\min }}$$) when :

In an experiment for determination of refractive index of glass of a prism by $$i - \delta ,$$ plot it was found thata ray incident at angle $${35^ \circ }$$, suffers a deviation of $${40^ \circ }$$ and that it emerges at angle $${79^ \circ }.$$ In that case which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?

A galvanometer having a coil resistance of $$100\,\Omega $$ gives a full scale deflection, when a currect of $$1$$ $$mA$$ is passed through it. The value of the resistance, which can convert this galvanometer into ammeter giving a full scale deflection for a current of $$10$$ $$A,$$ is :

Two identical wires $$A$$ and $$B,$$ each of length $$'l'$$, carry the same current $$I$$. Wire $$A$$ is bent into a circle of radius $$R$$ and wire $$B$$ is bent to form a square of side $$'a'$$. If $${B_A}$$ and $${B_B}$$ are the values of magnetic fields at the centres of the circle and square respectively, then the ratio $${{{B_A}} \over {{B_B}}}$$ is:
