[EAMCET (Engg.) 1998; CPMT 2000; Pb. PET 2001]
Options:
A) 13.5 cm
B) 2.7 cm
C) 5.4 cm
D) 10.3 cm
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ n\propto \frac{1}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{l _{2}}{l _{1}}=\frac{n _{1}}{n _{2}}\Rightarrow l _{2}=l _{1}( \frac{n _{1}}{n _{2}} ) $
$ =50\times \frac{270}{1000} $
$ =13.5cm $
