Q15 of 29 Page 109

Take a thin thermal sheet. Cut it in circular discs of different radii like 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, 4.5cm. 5cm etc ad mark centers with sketch pen. Now take needles of length nearly firm. Pin a needle to each disc at its centre vertically. Take water in a large opaque tray and place the disc with 2cm radius in such a way that the raw& is inside the water ac shown in fig Q15. Now try to view the free end (head) of the needle from surface of the water.


• At what maximum radius of disc, were you not able to see the free end of the needle?

At radius 6 cm of disc I am not able to see the free end of the needle.
