The surface area of a cube is decreasing at the rate of 15 sq. cm/sec. Find the rate length of the edge is 5 cm. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Let s be the surface area of a cube. Let X be the length of each side of the cube. `then s = 6x^2 rArr ds/dt = 12x dx/dt` Given that `ds/dt = 15 SQ. cm/sec. and x = 5 cm`. Then - 15 = 12 xx 5 dx/dt` `rArr dx/dt = - 15/60 = - 1/4 = -0 cdot 25 cm/sec`. therefore The edge is decreasing at the rate of 0 cdot 25 cm/sec`. |

Silver has work function of 4.7 eV when ultraviolet light of wavelength 100 nm is incident upon it, a potential of 7.7 volt is required to stop the photoelectrons from reaching the collector plate. What will be the minimum de-Broglie wavelength of photoelectrons when the wavelength of incident radiations is increased by 100% ? |
|
Answer» 3.3 Å When the wavelength is increased by 100% then energy of incident photon wil be `6.2 eV` then `K_("max") = E - 4.7 = 6.2 - 4.7 = 1.5 eV` `:. lambda_(dB) = SQRT((150)/(V)) = sqrt((150)/(1.5))` Å = 10 Å. |

If veca,vecb and vecc are three non-coplannar vectors, then prove that (|hataxx(hatbxxhatc)|)/sinA=(|hatbxx(hatcxxhata)|)/sinB=(|hatcxx(hataxxhatb)|)/sin C = (prod|hata xx(hatbxx hatc)|)/(|sum sinalpha cosbeta cosgamma hatn_(1)|) |
|
Answer» Solution :Since `veca,vecb and VECC` are non - coplanar, vectors `VECAXXVECB,vecb xxveccandveccxxveca` are also non-coplanar. Let `vecd=l(vecbxxvecc)+vecm(veccxxveca)+vecn(vecaxxvecb)` now multiplying both SIDES of (i) scalarly by `veca` we have `veca.vecd=lveca.(vecbxxvecc)+mveca.(veccxxveca)+nveca.(vecaxxvecb)=l[vecavecc veca]([veca vecc veca]=0=[veca veca vecb])` `l=(veca.vecd)//[veca vecb vecc]` putting these values oif l,nm and n and (i) , we get the required RELATION. |

On theset Z of allintegers , consider the relation R={(a,b):(a-b) is divisible by 3}. Show thatR isanequivalencerelationon Z. Also findthepartitioning of Z intomutuallydisjointequivalenceclasses . |
|
Answer» Solution :the relationR on Z satisfiesthe followingproperties : (i) Reflexivity Let ` a in Z` then,`(a-a)=0,` whichisdivisibleby 3 . `thereforea Ra AAa in Z.` So,R isreflexive .(ii)SYMMETRY Let` a ,bin Z` suchthat`a ,R,b` then `a R bimplies(a-b) ` isdivisibleby 3 `implies -(a-b)` isdivisibleby 3 `implies (b-a) ` is divisible by 3 `impliesb R a .` `thereforea R b impliesbRa AAa,bin Z .` So,R issymmetric . (iii)Transitivity Leta,b,c `in Z ` such thata R bandb R c. then `a R b,bRc implies (a-b)` isdivisibleby3 and(b-c)isdivisibleby 3 `implies [(a-b)+(b-c)] `isdivisibleby 3 `implies(a-c)` is DIVISIBLEBY 3. thus,`a R b ,B R cimplies aR cAA a,b,cin Z.` ` therefore ` R isequivalencerelation on Z. Now ,letusconsider [0],[1] and [2] we have : `[0]={x in Z : x R O }` ` ={x in Z: (x-0)` is divisibleby 3} `={. . . . . .,-6,-3,0,3,6,9,. . . . }.` `therefore [0] {. . . .,-6,-3,0,3,6,9,....}.` Similarly ,`[1] ={x INZ: xR 1}` `={x inz : (x-1) ` is divisibleby 3} `={. . . . .,-5,-2,1,4,7,10,. . . . . .,}.` and,`[2] ={x inZ: x R 2}.` `={x in Z : (x-2)` is divisibleby3} `={. . . ,-4,-1,2,5,8,11,. . .}.` ` therefore [2] ={. .. ..,-4,-1,2,5,8,11,. . . .}.` CLEARLY[0] ,[1]and [2]aremutuallydisjoint and`Z=[0] cup[1]cup [2].` |
