Q43 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2020 (Paper 2) · Physics
A beaker of radius is filled with water up to a height as shown in the figure on the left. The beaker is kept on a horizontal table rotating with angular speed . This makes the water surface curved so that the difference in the height of water level at the centre and at the circumference of the beaker is , as shown in the figure on the right. Take this surface to be approximately spherical with a radius of curvature Which of the following is/are correct? ( is the acceleration due to gravity)

- Correct answerA
- B
- CApparent depth of the bottom of the beaker is close to
- Correct answerDApparent depth of the bottom of the beaker is close to
Solution

......option (A)
For apparent depth, now
,
Refraction formula,
Since ,
.......option (D)
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'D'.
