In figure shown, left arm of a `U-`tube is immersed in a hot water bath at temperature ` t^(@)C`, and right arm is immersed in a bath of melting ice, the height of manometric liquid in respective column is `h_(1)` and `h_(0)`. Determine the coefficient of expansion of the liquid.

Answer» The liquid is in hydrostatic equilibrium ` implies rho_(t) gh_(t) = rho_(0)gh_(0)`
Where, ` rho_(t)` is density of liquid in hot bath, `rho_(0)` is density of liquid in cold bath.
Volumes of a given mass M of liquid at temperature t and `0^(@)C`
are ralated by `V_(t) = V_(0) (1+gammat) "Since" rho_(t)V_(t) = rho_(0) V_(0) implies rho_(t) = (rho_(0)V_(0))/(V_(t)) = (rho_(0))/((1+gammat))`
Since ` h_(t) = (rho_(0)h_(0))/(rho_(t)) = h_(0)(1+gammat)` which on solving for ` gamma `, yields `gamma = ((h_(t)-h_(0)))/(h_(0)t) `

The refractive indices of silicate fint glass for wavelength 400 nm and 700 nm are 1.66 aned 1.61 respectively. Find the minimum angles of deviation of an equailateral prism made of this glass for light of wavelength 400 nm and 700 nm.

Answer» The minumum angle of devision `delta_m` is given by
`mu = (sin (A+delta_m)/(2))/(sin(A)/(2)) = (sin(30^@ + (delta_m)/(2)))/(sin [email protected])`
`=2 sin(30^@ + (delta_m)/(2))`
for 400 nm light,
`1.66 = 2 sin (30^@ + delta_m//2)`
or `sin(30^@ +delta_m//2) = 0.83`
`or (30^@ + delta_m//2) = 56^@`
For 700 nm light,
`1.61 = 2 sin (30^@ + delta_m//2).`
This gives `delta_m = 48^@`

Answer» Correct Answer - d.
Only convex lens can form a real well as virtual image. So, the given lens is a convex lens.
Let f is the focal length of the lens and n the magniture of magnification.
In the first case, when the image is real:
`muv=-16`
`v=+16n`
So, applying `(1)/(v)-(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)`
`(1)/(16)+(1)/(16)=(1)/(f)`
or `1+(1)/(n)=(16)/(f)`
In the second case, when image is virtual:
`u=-6`
`v=-6n`
`f=+f`
`:. (1)/(-6n)+(1)/(6)=(1)/(f)`
`:.1-(1)/(n)=(6)/(f)`
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
`2=(22)/(f) or f=11cm`

` implies Q = DeltaU + P_(0)((1)/(rho_(2))- (1)/(rho_(1))) implies DeltaU = Q + P_(0)((1)/(rho_(1))-(1)/(rho_(2)))`

If `H_(C) , H_(K)` and`H_(F)` are heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree in Celcius , Kelvin and Fahrenheit temperature scales respectively then :-A. `H_(K)gtH_(C)gtH_(F)`B. `H_(F)gtH_(C) gtH_(K)`C. `H_(K) = H_(C) gt H_(F)`D. `H_(K) = H_(C) = H_(F)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`H_(C) = msDeltatheta = ms (1)^(@)C`
`H_(K) = msDeltatheta = ms (1)K = ms (1)^(@)C`
`H_(F) = msDeltatheta = ms(1^(@)F) = ms (5//9)^(@)C`
`therefore H_(C) = H_(K) gt H_(T)`

N molecules, each of mass m of gas `A and 2 N` molecules each of mass `2m` of gas `B` are containted in the same vessel which is maintained at temperature T. The mean square velocity of molecules of B type is denoted by `v^(2)` and the mean square velocity of A type is denoted by `(omega)^(2)`. the `omega^(2)//v^(2)` is:A. `1`B. `2`C. `1//3`D. `2//3`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`V_(A)= sqrt((3RT)/(m)) = (w)/(sqrt(3)) , V_(B) = sqrt((3RT)/(2m)) = v implies (w^(2))/(v^(2)) = (2)/(3)`

A vessel is partitioned in two equal halves by a fixed diathermic separator. Two different ideal gases ae filled in left (L) and right (R) halves the rms speed of the molecules in L part is equal to the mean speed of moleucles in the R equal to the ratio of the mass of a molecules in L part to that of a molecules in R part is A. `sqrt((3)/(2))`B. `sqrt(pi//4)`C. `sqrt(2//3)`D. `3pi//8`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`(V_("rms"))_(L) = (V_("avg"))R sqrt((3RT)/(M_(1))) = sqrt((8RT)/(piM_(2))) implies (M_(1))/(M_(2)) = (3pi)/(8)`

If mass-energy equivalence is taken into account , when water is cooled to form ice, the mass of water should :-(Note: The mass energy of an object is the energy equivalent of its mass , as given by `E= mc^(2)`, where m= mass of object & c = speed of light)A. increaseB. remain unchangedC. decreaseD. first increase then decrease

Answer» Correct Answer - C
When water is cooled to form ice , the energy is released as heat so mass of water decreases.

A right angle prism`(45^(@) - 90^(@) - 45^(@))` of refractive index n has a plane of refractive index `n_(1)(n_(1) ltn)` cemented to its diagonal face. The assembly is in air. The ray is incident on AB. (i) Calculate the angle of incidence at AB for which the ray strikes the diagonal face at the critical angle . (ii) Assuming n = 1.352 , calculate the angle of incidence at AB for which the refracted ray passes through the diagonal face undeviated.

Answer» Correct Answer - (i)`e = sin^(-1) (1)/(sqrt(2)) [(sqrt(n^(2) - n_(1)^(2)))- n_(1)]` (ii) `sin^(-1)(0.956)`
(i) Given that `r_(2) = C implies r_(1) = 45^(@) - C` & sin e = n sin`(45^(@)-C)`
sin e = n(`"sin"45^(@) "cos"45^(@) "sin"C`)
`implies e = sin^(-1) (1)/(sqrt(2)) (sqrt(n^(2)-n_(1)^(2)) - n_(1))`
(ii) to pass refracted ray undeviated `r_(2) = 0 implies r_(1) = 45^(@)` and sin e = n sin `45^(@)`
`implies e = sin^(-1) ((1.352)/(sqrt(2))) = sin^(-1)(0.956)`

One kg of water at `373K` is converted into steam at the same temperature. The volume `1 cm^(3)` of water becomes `1671 cm^(3)` on boiling. Calculate the change in internal energy of the system , if heat of vaporisation is `540 cal g^(-1)`. Given standard atmospheric pressure `=1.013xx10^(5) Nm^(-2)`.

Answer» Volume of `1kg` of water = `1000cm^(3) = 10^(-3) m^(3)` , Volume of `1kg` of steam = `10^(3) xx 1671 cm^(3) = 1.671 m^(3)`
Change in volume , ` DeltaV = (1.671-10^(-3))m^(3)= 1.670 m^(3)`, Pressure , `P = 1"atm". = 1.01 xx 10^(5) Nm^(-2)`
In expansion work done , `W= P Delta V = 1.01 xx10^(5) xx 1.67J = (1.686xx15^(5))/(4.2) cal = 4.015xx10^(4) cal`
But `DeltaU = Q-W`(first law of thermodynamics) or `DeltaU = (5.4xx 10^(5) - 0.04015 xx 10^(5)) cal = 4.9985 xx 10^(5) cal`
