When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. `(hv-phi)` is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron (where `phi` is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tuve. Wavelength of charasteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. Q. A monochromatic light is used in a photoelectric experiment on photoelectric effect. The stopping potentialA. is related to mean wavelengthB. is releated to maximum wavelengthC. is releated to the mximum K.E of emitted photoelectronsD. is releated to intensity of incident light.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Stopping potential is the measurement of maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons and kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is linearly with the frequency of incident light corresponding (i.e. corresponding to shortest wavelength, K.E is maximum)
Stopping potential is independent of intensity.

Which of the following is//are conservative force (s) ?A. `vec(F)=2 r^(3) hat(r)`B. `vec(F)= -(5)/(r)hat(r)`C. `vec(F)=(3(x hat(i)+y hat(j)))/((x^(2)+y^(2))^(3//2))`D.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
Since , `W = int vec(F), vec(dr)`
Clearly for forces (A) and (B) the integration do not require any information of the path taken.
Force (C) :
`W_(c) = int (3 (xhat(i) +y hatj))/((x^(2)+y^(2))^(3//2)) (dx hat(i)+dy hat(j))`
`=3 int (x dx +y dy)/((x^(2)+y^(2))^(3//2))`
Taking : `x_(2) + y_(2) =t`
`2x dx + 2y dy = dt`
`rArr xdx + ydy = (dt)/(2)`
`rArr W_(c) = 3 int (dt//2)/(t^(3//2))=(3)/(2) int (dt)/(t^(3//2))`
which is solvable.
Hence (A), (B) and (C) are conservative forces
But (D) requires some more information on path. Hence non-conservative.

oxidation no of sulphur in caro's acid is

Answer»

Oxidation number of sulphur in  Caro's - Peroxymonosulfuric acid (H2SO)

2 + x - 10

x= +8

x= oxidation number of Sulphur

But this cannot be true as maximum oxidation number for S cannot exceed + 6. Since S has only 6 electrons in its valence shell.

This exceptional value of
oxidattion state for sulphur in H2SO is due to the peroxy linkage shown by two atoms.

so,
Oxidation number of S in H2SO5

2 (+1) + x + 3 (-2) + 2 (-1) [for peroxy linkage] = 0

2 + x -6 -2 = 0

x = + 6

so,
Oxidation number of S in H2SO5 is +6.

(D²- 5D + 6)y = xsin3x

Answer»

(D2 -5D + 6)y = x sin3x.

It's auxiliarly equation is,

m2 - 5m + 6 = 0

⇒ (m-2)(m-3) = 0

⇒ m = 2 or 3 (real and distinct)

Therefore,

C. F = C1e2x + C2e3x

P.I = \(\frac{1}{D^2-5D+6}x\,sin\,3x\)

=  \(x\frac{1}{D^2-5D+6}\,sin\,3x\) + {\(\frac{d}{dD}\,\)\(\frac{1}{D^2-5D+6}\)} sin3x

(∵ \(\frac{1}{f(D)}\)xv = x\(\frac{1}{f(D)}\)v + {(\(\frac{d}{dD}\,\) \(\frac{1}{f(D)}\))v} and here v = sin3x)

= x\(\frac{1}{-9-5D+6}\) sin3x - \(\frac{2D-5}{(D^2-5D+6)^2}\) sin3x

(∵ \(\frac{d}{dx}\) \(\frac{1}{x}\) = \(\frac{-1}{x^2}\) and by chain rule Also we use\(\frac{1}{f(D^2)}\)sinax = \(\frac{1}{f(-a^2)}\)sinax)

= - x\(\frac{1}{3+5D}\)sin3x - \(\frac{2D-5}{(-9-5D+6)^2}\)sin3x

= -x \(\times\) \(\frac{3-5D}{9-25D^2}\)sin3x - \(\frac{2D-5}{(3+5D)^2}\)sin3x

\(\frac{-x(3-5D)sin3x}{9-25\times -9}\) - \(\frac{2D-5}{25D^2+30D+9}\)sin3x

\(\frac{x}{234}\)(3 sin3x - 5D sin3x) - \(\frac{2D-5}{25\times{(-9)}+30D+9}\)sin3x

\(\frac{x}{234}\)(3 sin3x - 15 cos3x) - \(\frac{2D-5}{30D-216}\)sin3x

(∵ D sin3x = \(\frac{d}{dx}\) sin3x = 3cos 3x)

\(\frac{3x}{234}\)(sin3x - 5cos3x) - \(\frac{1}{6}\times\)\(\frac{(2D-5)(5D+36)}{(5D-36)(5D+36)}\)sin3x

= 78x (sin3x - 5cos3x) - \(\frac{1}{6}\times\)\(\frac{(10D^2+47D-180)}{25D^2-1296}\)sin3x

=  78x (sin3x - 5cos3x) - \(\frac{1}{6}\times\) \(\frac{10D^2\,sin3x + 47D\,sin3x-180\,sin3x}{25\times -9-1296}\)

=  78x (sin3x - 5cos3x) - \(\frac{1}{6}\times\) \(\frac{30D\,cos3x +141\,cos3x-180\,sin3x}{1521}\)

=  78x (sin3x - 5cos3x) + \(\frac{1}{9126}\) (-90 sin3x + 141cos3x - 180sin3x)

=  78x (sin3x - 5cos3x) + \(\frac{1}{9126}\)(141 cos3x - 270 sin3x)

Hence,

complete solution given diff.equation is 

I = C.F + P.I

= C1e2x + C2e3x + 78x(sin3x - 5cos 3x) + \(\frac{1}{9126}\)(141cos3x - 270 sin3x).

​​Two forces are acting on a body. F1=2i+3j and it does 8J of work . F2=3i+5j and it does -4J on body. Find displacement of the body in form xi+yj.

Answer»

Work = Dot product of Force and Displacement

W = F.D

F1 = 2i + 3j , W1 = 8J , D1 = ?

W1 = F1.D1

Let the displacement vector D1 have components xi + yj

8 = (2i + 3j).(xi + yj)

8 = (2i.xi) + (2i.yj) + (3j.xi) + (3j.yj)

8 = 2x + 3y

F2 = 3i + 5j , W2 = -4 J , D2 = ?

W2 = F2.D2

Let the components of D2 = ai + bj

-4 = (3i + 5j).(ai + bj)

-4 = (3i.ai) + (3i.bj) + (5j.ai) + (5j.bj)

-4 = 3a + 5b

16. Find the domain and range of the real function, defined by \( f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{\left(1+x^{2}\right)} \). Show that \( f \) is many-one.Not through graphical method. 

Answer»

f (x) = \(\frac {x^2}{1+x^2}\) 

Since, \(x^2 \geq 0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(1+ x^2 \geq 1 > 0\)

\(\therefore\) Domain of function f (x) is R.

Also, \(x^2 + 1 > x^2\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac {x^2}{x^2+1} < 1\) 

Also \(x^2 \geq 0 \) & \(x^2 + 1 \geq 0\) 

\(\therefore\) \(\frac {x^2}{x^2+1}\geq0\) 

Hence, 0 \(\leq \frac {x^2}{x^2+1} < 1\)

\(\therefore\) Range of function f (x) is (0,1)

\(\because\) f (-1) = \(\frac {(-1)^2}{(-1)^2 +1} = \frac 12\)  (\(\because\) f (-1) = f(1))

f (1) = \(\frac 1{1+1} = \frac 12\) (\(\because\) f is many one function)
