Question
In the figure shown a point object O is placed in air. A spherical boundary separates various media of radius of curvature 1.0 m. AB is principal axis. The refractive index above AB is 1.6 and below AB is 2.0. The separation between the images formed due to refraction at spherical surface is:
- 12 m
- 20 m
- 14 m
- 10 m
The correct answer is: 12 m

A wooden block with mass 2.0 kg is moving up an inclined surface 
At point S it has a speed of 8 m/sec; the block comes to a halt at point P (see the figure which is a vertical cross-section). The friction coefficient m between the block and the inclined surface is 0.25 (assume that g = 10 
and that the kinetic and the static friction coefficients are the same).
