A planoconvex lens becomes an optical system of $$28$$ $$cm$$ focal length when its plane surface is silvered and illuminated from left to right as shown in Fig-A.

If the same lens is instead silvered on the curved surface and illuminated from other side as in Fig-B, it acts like an optical system of focal length $$10$$ $$cm.$$ The refractive index of the material of lens is :

A Helmholtz coil has a pair of loops, each with $$N$$ turns and radius $$R$$. They are placed coaxially at distance $$R$$ and the same current $${\rm I}$$ flows through the loops in the same direction. $$P,$$ midway between the centers $$A$$ and $$C$$, is given by [Refer to figure given below] :

Light of wavelength $$550$$ $$nm$$ falls normally on a slit of width $$22.0 \times {10^{ - 5}}$$ $$cm.$$ The angular position of the second minima from the central maximum will (in radians) :

A tuning fork vibrates with frequency $$256$$ $$Hz$$ and gives one beat per second with the third normal mode of vibration of an open pipe. What is the length of the pipe ? (Speed of sound in air is $$340\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$)
