A particle moves in the \((x\text-y)\) plane according to the rule \(x = a \sin (\omega t)\) and \(y = a \cos (\omega t)\). The particle follows:
| 1. | a circular path. |
| 2. | a parabolic path. |
| 3. | a straight line path inclined equally to x and y-axes. |
| 4. | an elliptical path. |
The speed of light in media \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) is \(1.5\times10^{8}\) m/s and \(2.0\times10^{8}\) m/s respectively. A ray of light enters from medium \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) at an incidence angle \(i.\) If the ray suffers total internal reflection, the value of \(i\) is:
| 1. | equal to or less than \(\text{sin}^{-1}\left (\frac{3}{5} \right )\) |
| 2. | equal to or greater than \(\text{sin}^{-1}\left (\frac{3}{4} \right )\) |
| 3. | less than \(\text{sin}^{-1}\left (\frac{2}{3} \right )\) |
| 4. | equal to \(\text{sin}^{-1}\left (\frac{2}{3} \right )\) |
A ray of light is incident on a \(60^\circ\) prism at the minimum deviation position. The angle of refraction at the first face (i.e. incident face) of the prism is:

If \(C_P\) and \(C_V\) denote the specific heats (per unit mass) of an ideal gas of molecular weight \(M\) (where \(R\) is the molar gas constant), the correct relation is:
1. \(C_P-C_V=R\)
2. \(C_P-C_V=\frac{R}{M}\)
3. \(C_P-C_V=MR\)
4. \(C_P-C_V=\frac{R}{M^2}\)
