(by applying external force). The inclined surface of the wedge is rough
(with coefficient of static frictions= 0.6 and coefficient of kinetic friction
k= 0.8). Determine the minimum acceleration amin of the wedge
(in m/s2) for which the block B will be at the verge of slipping. (g = 10m/s2)

Q.3246go/hc A large concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 0.5 m is placed on a horizontal plate. We pour
a small amount of water into the mirror and place on it a thin plano-convex lens with a radius of curvature
of 1.0 m whose plane side just touches the water. Then we place a point light source above this set-up
at a height of 0.3 m on principal axis. At what distance (in metres) from the object does the final image
form when viewed it normally above the system. (The refractive index of water is 1.33 and the refractive
index of glass is 1.50.)

Q.4 A transparent sphere of radius R = 2.0 m has a mirrored surface on its
right half as shown in figure. A light ray travelling in air is incident on the
left side of the sphere. The incident light ray(1) & exiting light ray (2) are
parallel & separated by distance d = 2.0 m. Then find the refractive
index of the material. (here sin150 = 0.26)
