Q66.Let the tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 25 at the point R(3, 4) meet x -axis and y-axis at point P and Q , respectively. If r is the radius of the circle passing through the origin O and having centre at the incentre of the triangle OPQ, then r2 is equal to (1) 529 (2) 125 64 72 (3) 625 (4) 585 72 66

What This Question Tests

This problem involves finding the equation of a tangent to a circle, then determining the intercepts to form a triangle, and finally calculating the incentre and radius of a circle centered at the incentre passing through the origin.

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.
