Explanation:
Myopia (nearsightedness) is the inability to see distant objects clearly, with far point less than infinity. Here, far point is 2 m. Corrected using concave lens. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) affects near vision; presbyopia is age-related loss of accommodation; astigmatism involves uneven corneal curvature. Memory aid: 'Myopia = near-sighted; far point reduced'. This application question tests knowledge of vision defects and corrections, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link symptom (blurred distant vision) to defect (myopia) and correction (diverging lens).
Explanation:
Fuse is a safety device: thin wire melts when current exceeds safe limit due to short circuit or overload, breaking circuit. Prevents fire and appliance damage. Based on heating effect. MCB is modern alternative.
Explanation:
Escape velocity v_e = √(2GM/R), where M is planet mass, R its radius. Thus v_e depends on both M and R. It is independent of the escaping body's mass (as gravitational and inertial mass cancel). Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); larger M or smaller R ⇒ higher escape velocity'. This gravitation formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that escape velocity is a property of the planet, not the projectile. This problem assesses understanding of gravitational potential energy concepts.
