The flat bottom of a cylindrical tank is silvered and water $(\mu = 4/3)$ is filled in the tank up to a height $h$. $A$ small bird is hovering at a height $3h$ from the bottom of the tank. When a small hole is opened near the bottom of the tank,the water level falls at the rate of $1\, cm/s$. The bird will perceive that its image's velocity is:

  • A
    $0.5\, cm/s$ upward
  • B
    $1\, cm/s$ downwards
  • C
    $0.5\, cm/s$ downwards
  • D
    none of these

In an experiment for estimating the value of focal length of a converging mirror,the image of an object placed at $40\,cm$ from the pole of the mirror is formed at a distance of $120\,cm$ from the pole of the mirror. These distances are measured with a modified scale in which there are $20$ small divisions in $1\,cm$. The value of error in the measurement of the focal length of the mirror is $1/K\,cm$. The value of $K$ is $..........$

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror at a distance of $50\, cm$. $A$ plane mirror is introduced covering the lower half of the convex mirror. If the distance between the object and the plane mirror is $30\, cm$,it is found that there is no parallax between the images formed by the two mirrors. The magnification of the convex mirror will be......

$A$ light ray is incident on the surface of a sphere of refractive index $n$ at an angle of incidence $\theta_0$. The ray partially refracts into the sphere with angle of refraction $\phi_0$ and then partly reflects from the back surface. The reflected ray then emerges out of the sphere after a partial refraction. The total angle of deviation of the emergent ray with respect to the incident ray is $\alpha$. Match the quantities mentioned in $List-I$ with their values in $List-II$ and choose the correct option.
$List-I$$List-II$
$(P)$ If $n=2$ and $\alpha=180^{\circ}$,then all the possible values of $\theta_0$ will be$(1)$ $30^{\circ}$ and $0^{\circ}$
