A solid glass sphere of refractive index $ n = \sqrt{3} $ and radius $ R $ contains a spherical air cavity of radius $ \dfrac{R}{2} $, as shown in the figure. A very thin glass layer is present at the point $ O $ so that the air cavity (refractive index $ n = 1 $) remains inside the glass sphere. An unpolarized, unidirectional and monochromatic light source $ S $ emits a light ray from a point inside the glass sphere towards the periphery of the glass sphere. If the light is reflected from the point $ O $ and is fully polarized, then the angle of incidence at the inner surface of the glass sphere is $ \theta $. The value of $ \sin \theta $ is ____

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

A conducting square loop initially lies in the $ XZ $ plane with its lower edge hinged along the $ X $-axis. Only in the region $ y \geq 0 $, there is a time dependent magnetic field pointing along the $ Z $-direction, $ \vec{B}(t) = B_0 (\cos \omega t) \hat{k} $, where $ B_0 $ is a constant. The magnetic field is zero everywhere else. At time $ t = 0 $, the loop starts rotating with constant angular speed $ \omega $ about the $ X $ axis in the clockwise direction as viewed from the $ +X $ axis (as shown in the figure). Ignoring self-inductance of the loop and gravity, which of the following plots correctly represents the induced e.m.f. ($ V $) in the loop as a function of time:

Trigonometric Equations
Trigonometric equation is an equation involving one or more trigonometric ratios of unknown angles. It is expressed as ratios of sine(sin), cosine(cos), tangent(tan), cotangent(cot), secant(sec), cosecant(cosec) angles. For example, cos2 x + 5 sin x = 0 is a trigonometric equation. All possible values which satisfy the given trigonometric equation are called solutions of the given trigonometric equation.
