Q65.If the maximum distance of normal to the ellipse 𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 1, 𝑏< 2, from the origin is 1 , then the eccentricity 4 𝑏2 of the ellipse is: (1) 1 (2) √3 √2 2 (3) 1 (4) √3 2 4

What This Question Tests

This question requires finding the equation of the normal to an ellipse, then calculating its distance from the origin and maximizing this distance. It integrates conic sections with calculus concepts.

Concepts Tested

Equation of normal to ellipseDistance from origin to a lineEccentricity of an ellipseMaximization/Minimization using derivatives

Formulas Used

Normal to x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1 is ax secθ - by cosecθ = a^2 - b^2

Distance of point from line |Ax₀ + By₀ + C| / sqrt(A^2 + B^2)

e^2 = 1 - b^2/a^2

9.17(A) Sin I¢C = 1.44/1.68 Which Gives I¢C = 59°. Total Internal Reflection

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.
