Power of a lens is roughly dependent upon

  • Q. Power of a lens is roughly dependent upon
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    The correct answer is Curvature of the lens.

    Important Points

    • Focal length of a lens depends on its curvature and the medium outside the lens.

    Additional Information

    • The ability of a lens to converge or diverge light rays depends on its focal length.
      • For example, a convex lens of short focal length bends the light rays through large angles, by focussing them closer to the optical centre.
      • Similarly, the concave lens of a very short focal length causes a higher divergence than the one with a longer focal length.
    • The degree of convergence or divergence of light rays achieved by a lens is expressed in terms of its power.
      • The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length.

    What is the use of 'javac' command?

  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : D

    Concept

    The javac command in Java compiles a program from a command prompt.

    It reads a Java source program from a text file and creates a compiled Java class file.

    Syntax

    javac filename [options]

    For example, to compile a program named Abc.java, use this command:

    javac Abc.java

    Assertion (A): C++ is an object-oriented programming language.

    Reason (R): C++ supports class, inheritance, templates, and exception handling.
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : A

    Assertion(A): C ++ is object-oriented programming language: TRUE

    Reason:

    Object oriented programming is about representing objects in software. Objects are the elements through which we observe the world around us. All objects have identity and behavior.  Object oriented programming develops a program around its data and set well defined interfaces to the data.

    • C++ supports the concept of object-oriented programming which are: data abstraction, data encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism.
    • Various language elements are also added to C ++ such as references, templates and exception handling.
    • Each C++ program is made up of objects with their accompanying member functions and global functions, which do not belong to any single particular class.

    What is the output of the following statement in C++

    int a=042;

    cout<<a;

  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : C
    • Zero(0) appended in the beginning of an integer data type, says that variable ‘a’ is explicitly assign a octal constant
    • In printf function, %d is used as a conversion specifier for decimal, 42 in octal number will get converted into decimal number; (42)(8)= (4× 8)+2=34
