The profits of Mahesh and Co. for the last five years were:  2005 – Rs. 35,000 2006 – Rs. 30,000 2007 – Rs. 27,500 2008 – Rs.25,000 2009 – Rs.20,000 The capital employed in the firm is Rs. 5,00,000. You are required to calculate the good will at 3 years purchase of super-profits. The normal rate of return on capital employed is 5%

Answer»

Average profit = \(\frac{35000+30000+27500+25000+20000}{5}\) = 27500

Capital employed = 500000

Normal Profit = Capital employed x Normal Rate of Return 

= 500000 x 5/100 = 25000 

Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit 

= 27500 – 25000 = 2500 

Goodwill = Super profit x No. of years purchase 

= 2500 x 3 = 7500

The threshold wavelength of tungsten is 2.76 × 10-5 cm. (a) Explain why no photoelectrons are emitted when the wavelength is more than 2.76 × 10-5 cm.(b) What will be the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected in each of the following cases (i) if ultraviolet radiation of wavelength λ = 1.80 × 10-5 cm and(ii) radiation of frequency 4 × 1015 Hz is made incident on the tungsten surface.

Answer»

Data: λ0 = 2.76 × 10-5 cm = 2.76 × 10-7 m,

λ =1.80 × 10-5 cm = 1.80 × 10-7 m, 

v = 4 × 1015 Hz, h = 6.63 × 10-34 J∙s,c = 3 × 108 m/s 

(a) For λ > λ0 , v < v0 (threshold frequency). 

∴ hv < hv0

Hence, no photoelectrons are emitted.

(b) Maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected

= hc  \((\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_o})\)

= (6.63 × 10-34 )(3 × 108\((\frac{10^7}{1.8}-\frac{10^7}{2.76})\)J

= (6.63 × 10-19) (0.5555 – 0.3623) 

= (6.63)(0.1932 × 10-19) J = 1.281 × 10-19 J

\(\frac{1.281\times10^{-19}J}{1.6\times10^{-19}{\frac{J}{eV}}}\) = 0.8006 eV

(c) Maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected

= hv – \(\frac{hc}{\lambda_o}\)

=(6.63 × 10-34 (4 × 1015 ) – \(\frac{(6.63\times10^{-34})(3\times10^8)}{2.76\times10^{-7}}\)

= 26.52 × 10-19 – 7.207 × 10-19 

= 19.313 × 10-19 J

\(\frac{19.313\times10^{-19}J}{1.6\times10^{-19}{\frac{J}{eV}}}\) = 12.07eV

124854.

Describe the major reasons of the first World War.

Answer»

The first World War was the most devastating war ever fought in human history. This war started in 1914 CE and lasted for four years three months and 11 days. 

The main reasons of this war are the following :

1. Fierce Nationality : The spirit of nationalism was the soul of the French Revolution. The integration of Germany and Italy was the result of nationalism. But at the end of the 19th Century, this feeling of nationalism took a radical look. France wanted to gain independence, so the Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Bulgarians, etc. inspired by the spirit of nationality, wanted to be independent from Austro-German Emperor. France was looking for opportunities to take revenge from Germany. The solution to this problem would have come out of war. 

2. Imperialist Rivalry between England and Germany : Late 19th Century Germany made rapid economic and industrial progress and left England and France behind in industrial innovation. British made a big warship imperator. Germany also built a rail line linking Berlin to Baghdad by constructing the Nile canal. In this way, it was easier to send troops or goods from Germany in the region. This threatened British colonists. 

3. Rivalry between Germany and France : Germany defeated France in the war of 1871. France had to give their two provinces and industrial areas to Germany. In the year 1904, France and Britain made a secret treaty, according to which France, Morocco and Britain got exemption from arbitrage in Egypt.

4. Creation of Groups : In 1882 set up in Germany, Austria and Italy established that if the war with the allied power is fought, then their military will help. England, Russia and France formed a three-nation treaty in 1907. The formation of the conflicting factions divided the world into two camps. Each group promoted war. 

5. Serbo-Slav movement and Balkan Politics : Eastern region of Europe was known as the Balkans. Many states located in this area, such as Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and many other small states were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman began to be powerless in the early 20th Century. The slavs, living in Austria and Russia, launched a national movement in support of Russia which is called the All-Slavic movement, whose independence was to liberate the state of Serbia, the Slavic region. Austria protested this movement. In 1908 Austria and Serbia became enemies of one another. 

6. Diplomatic Treaties : The integration of Italy in Europe and integration of Germany started an era which was the era of secret treaties. France also developed a ‘trination’ friendship with Russia and England in relation to its security concerns. This alliance continued to strengthen until 1914.

7. Mercantile and Colonial Rivalry : Fast industrial development began in England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and America until the 19th Century. With this raw materials were supplied and new markets were needed for finished goods. England and France received the highest colonial territory in this rivalry. Germany was back in this after 1890 and started efforts to acquire Colonies. Whereby, England and France became their foes and Italy was also looking for new Colonies. 

8. Role of Newspapers : When Britain’s newspapers criticized the policy of German Emperor, William-II in Britain, the people of Germany began to consider England as their enemy. In the same way German newspapers provoked the people of England. Serbian and Austrian newspapers published hard hitting articles against each other about the murder of Ferdinand. It was natural for it to foment anger in both the countries. The situation of war could have been handled only when there was no control over the freedom of press. 

9. International Anarchy : Russian-Japanese war of 1904-05, conflict between France and Germany, Annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina by Austria in 1908-09 CE and Balkan war, etc. promoted international anarchy. As a result the race of militarism and armament speeded up.

10. Immediate cause : The immediate cause of the first world war was the Austrian invasion on 28 July 1914 CE. Along with this the war started between the major European powers.

Give brief description of the leading causes of the Russian revolution of 1917.

Answer»

The defeat of Russia in the war of 1904-05 by Japan ended the supremacy of Russia. On the other hand dissatisfaction increased among the people due to different reasons. The oppressive polices of the administration were the cause of this dissatisfaction. The result of this dissatisfaction and autocracy occured as the Russian revolution. 

The main reasons of this revolution were as follows :

1. Autocracy of the Czar : Russian citizens had no rights till the mid of 19th Century. Those who opposed the ruler got harsh punishment. Due to such oppressive administration the rule of Czar became unbearable and Public demanded for reforms. 

2. 1905 : Attempt to Crush the Impact of the Revolution and Duma: The citizen’s right which were obtained by the revolution of 1905 CE, could not be implemented by the Duma. The Czar dissolved Duma and this further increased the dissatisfaction among the people. 

3. Pathetic Condition of the Farmers : The situation of farmers in Russia was pathetic. In 19th Century, big landowners owned 1800 Lakh acre land, but more than 1 crore farmers had only 1900 lakh acre land, in which all had to pay tax of various types. Farmers did not even get two square meals to eat. The revolutionary socialist party took advantage of this and incited them against the rule. 

4. Labour Dissatisfaction : Due to industrialization, lot of landless farmers went in industries for employment. Industrialists took full advantage of their position and exploited them to make their condition more miserable. They also took the maximum work from them on minimum wages. In 1902-03 labour strikes started. These labourers established the proletariat by eliminating the oppression of the capitalist system and autocratic rule. 

5. Economic and Social inequality : Russian society was divided into three groups : Elite, Middle class and Proletariat. The people of proletariat were deprived of rights. In this category all farmers and workers were included. The people of proletariat had to bear the oppressive policies of administration as well as of the Elite group. This mass community became the important cause of Russian Revolution. 

6. Intellectual Revolution : Educated class demanded political rights. Along with this socialist ideas of Karl Marx, Marim Gorky and Bakunin had an impact on the workers and intellectuals of the country. This gave rise to Nihilism in society and the people began to raise the demand of political rights. 

7. Rise of Socialism in Russia : Influenced by the miserable condition of the farmers, intellectuals started an agitation in 1860, on the basis of socialist ideology. Hergen and Chemowski were the chief leaders of this movement. These supporters can be considered ‘populist’. After some time, socialist party divided into two parts : 1. Revolutionary socialist party, 2. Social democratic party. The Revolutionary socialist party organised terrorrist programme and killed many people. Social democratic party was established in 1898. Social democratic party also divided into two parts in 1903 (i) Bolshevik and (ii) Menshevik. 

8. Corrupt governance of Czar Nicholas-II : Russian ruler Czar Nicholas-II was an incapable ruler who did not have the foresight to understand the importance of events and characters of persons. By taking advantage of his inability, a saint, Rasputin, began to start interfering in administration. As a result a group formed in the court against Rasputin and murdered him in December 1916 CE. 

9. Entrance of Russia in the first World War : In August 1914, Russia participated in the first World War at the side of allied nations. In the first 3 years, 1 crore 50 lakh soldiers were sent to the battlefield. Due to lack of working in the fields by workers and decline in agricultural production, the productivity of grain, fuel and clothes were reduced.
