In a double-slit experiment, instead of taking slits of equal widths, one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then, in the interference pattern, (a) the intensities of both the maxima and minima increase (b) the intensity of the maxima increases and the minima has the zero intensity (c) the intensity of the maxima decreases but that of the minima increases (d) the intensity of the maxima decreases and the minima has the zero intensity

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (a) the intensities of both the maxima and minima increase

In interference between waves of equal amplitudes a, the minimum intensity is zero and the maximum intensity is proportional to 4a2 . For waves of unequal amplitudes a and A (A > a), the minimum intensity is nonzero and the maximum intensity is proportional to (a + A)2 , which is greater than 4a2 .

A particle of charge q and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r with angular speed ω. The ratio of the magnitude of its magnetic moment to that of its angular momentum depends on (a) ω and q (b) ω, q and m (c) q and m (d) ω and m

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (c) q and m 

The effective current is i = q . ω/2π and the area is A = πr2.

The magnetic moment is μ = Ai = qωr2.

The angular momentum is L = Iω mr2ω.

∴ μ/L = q/2m.

What is the working principle of transformer?

Answer»

A transformer works under the principle of mutual electro magnetic induction (Faraday’s laws of Electro-magnetic induction). It says that, when ever a changing flux links with a coil an emf is induced in it and this induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of flux and the number of turns in the coils linking the flux. 

39.

What are the types of transformer core? 

Answer»

The types of transformer core are given below.

a. Core type transformer core. 

b. Shell type transformer core. 

c. Berry type transformer core. 

d. Spiral type transformer core. 

40.

What is the transformation ratio in transformer? 

Answer»

Equation for transformation ratio is, 

E2/E1 = N2/N1 = k 

k = >1 in step up transformer, where secondary turns are more and thus voltage is more to reduce the transmission current. 

k = <1 in step down transformer, where secondary turns are less than primary and low voltage for consumer use.

If we include the current in transformation ration the equation is, 

E2/E1 = N2/N1 = I1/I2 = k

Consider the following statements: (i) Nuclear fission is normally followed by emission of `beta`-particles. (ii) Emission of `alpha`-particle is normally followed by emission of `gamma` rays. (iii) In carbon-carbon cycle of fusion reaction which powers the large starts, two carbon nuclei combine to form a magnesium nucleus: The correct order of True/False in above statements isA. TTTB. TTFC. FTTD. TFT

Answer» (i) Nuclear fission results in fragments whose neutron/proton ratio is higher than the required value (N/P ratios is greater for heavier nuclei). To reduce the N/P ratio these fragments undergo `beta^(-)` decays in which a neutron is converted into a proton.
(ii) Some of the energy generated in `alpha`-emission goes into nuclear excitation. the excited nucleus returns to ground state by `gamma`-emission. (iii) in carbon -carbon cycle `.^(12)C` nucleus acts just as a catalust. the net result is fusion of four protons into a healium nucleus.
