For the given velocity-time graph, velocity the corresponding displacement-time graph will be

Answer»

Correct Option (d)

Explanation :

Here in velocity-time graph, the velocity is constant for first part, so displacement will increase at constant rate.

In next part velocity is zero, so displacement will not increase or decreases. 
In last part, velocity is in negative direction so displacement will decreases and finally will become zero.
Option (d) is correct

In the first part the displacement will increase with time. In the intermediate part there is no change in velocity. So in this part of time the displacement remains unchanged i.e parallel to time axis. And in the last phase velocity reverses its direction. So the displacement will decrease with time .

Which one of the following statements is not true of de-Broglie waves(a) All atomic particles in motion have waves of a definite wavelength associated with them(b) The higher the momentum, the larger is the wavelength(c) The fater the particle, the shorter is the wavelength(d) For the same velocity, a heavier particle has a shorter wavelength

Answer»

Option (b) The higher the momentum, the larger is the wavelength

Explanation :

As,λ = h/p = h/mv

where, h = Planck's constant, λ = wavelength, p = mv = momentum

It is shown that wavelength λ is inversely proportional to the momentum. Hence, lighter the momentum, lesser will be the wavelength. So, statement (b) is not true.

Option (b) is incorrect , 

Explanation

By deBroglie equation we know ,

λ = h/p = h/mv

where, h = Planck's constant, λ = wavelength,

p = mv = momentum

As the wave length λ  is inversely proportional to momentum mv  . So higher the momentum shorter is the wavelength.

The strongest acid among the following aromatic compounds is :–(a) p-nitrophenol (b) p-chlorophenol(c) p-cresol (d) m-nitrophenol

Answer»

Correct option (a) p-nitrophenol 

Explanation:

Electron withdrawing groups like —NO2, —Cl stabilieses the phenoxide ion by dispersing negative charge, thus makes it more acidic. On the other hand electron releasing groups it more acidic. On the other hand electron releasing groups like —CH3 destabilises the phenoxide ion and thus make it less acidic. —NO2 is more withdrawing as compared to —Cl. That's why pnitrophenol is most acidic among the given.
