Q68.Let a circle of radius 4 be concentric to the ellipse 15𝑥2 + 19𝑦2 = 285. Then the common tangents are inclined to the minor axis of the ellipse at the angle (1) π (2) π 3 4 π π (3) (4) 6 12

What This Question Tests

The question tests the ability to find common tangents to a circle and an ellipse by equating the tangent conditions and then determining the angle these tangents make with the minor axis.

Concepts Tested

Equation of tangent to ellipseEquation of tangent to circleCondition for common tangentSlope of tangent

Formulas Used

y = mx ± sqrt(a^2m^2 + b^2)

y = mx ± r sqrt(1+m^2)

9.17 (a) sin i¢c = 1.44/1.68 which gives i¢c = 59°. Total internal reflection takes place when i > 59° or when r < rmax = 31°. Now, (sin i /sin r max max ) = 1.68 , which gives imax ~ 60°. Thus, all incident rays of angles in the range 0 < i < 60° will suffer total internal reflections in the pipe. (If the length of the pipe is finite, which it is in practice, there will be a lower limit on i determined by the ratio of the diameter to the length of the pipe.) (b) If there is no outer coating, i¢c = sin–1(1/1.68) = 36.5°. Now, i = 90° will have r = 36.5° and i¢ = 53.5° which is greater than i¢c. Thus, all incident rays (in the range 53.5° < i < 90°) will suffer total internal reflections.
