प्रश्न
Calculate the solid angle subtended by the periphery of an area of 1 cm2 at a point situated symmetrically at a distance of 5 cm from the area.
उत्तर
Solid angle, Ω = `"Area"/("Radial distance")^2`
= `(1 cm^2)/(5 cm)^2`
= `1/25`
= 4 × 10–2 steradian ......(∵ Area = 1 cm2, distance = 5 cm)
Important point: Please keep in mind that a solid angle is for 3-D figures like spheres, cones etc and a plane angle is for plane objects or 2-D figures like circles, arcs etc.

Explain this statement clearly:
“To call a dimensional quantity ‘large’ or ‘small’ is meaningless without specifying a standard for comparison”. In view of this, reframe the following statements wherever necessary:
- Atoms are very small objects
- A jet plane moves with great speed
- The mass of Jupiter is very large
- The air inside this room contains a large number of molecules
- A proton is much more massive than an electron
- The speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light.
A famous relation in physics relates ‘moving mass’ m to the ‘rest mass’ m0 of a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light, c. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes:
`m = m_0/(1-v^2)^(1/2)`
Guess where to put the missing c.
