To reduce the ripples in a rectifier circuit with capacitor filter

Answer»

`R_(L)` should be increased.
input FREQUENCY should be DECREASED.
input frequency should be increased.
capacitors with high capacitance should be used.

Solution :Variations (or pulsations) in the output voltage of rectifier is determined by "ripple factor". Its value is kept as SMALL as possible to reduce the variations of output voltage and to make it almost constant. Its symbol is `lambda`. Its formula is as follows:
`lambda=(1)/(4sqrt(3)fCR_(L))`
`rArr` To reduce `gamma`, values of F, C and `R_(L)` should be increased.
`rArr` Options (A, C, D) are correct.

UV light of wavelength 1800Å is incident on a lithium surface whose threshold wavelength 4965Å. Determine the maximum energy of the electron emitted.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`{:("Maximum kinetic energy of electron,",,LAMBDA = 1800 XX 10^(-10)m),(,,lambda_(0) = 4965 xx 10^(10)m),(K_(max) = hc((1)/(lambda)-(1)/(lambda_(0))),,h = 6.6 xx 10^(-34)Js),(,,c = 3 xx 10^(8) ms^(-1)):}`

A plano - convex lens has a focal length of 0.25 m and is made of glass of refractive index 1.5. Find the radius of curvature of its curved surface. If two such lenses are placed with their curved surfaces in contact then what will be the focal length of the combination? If the space between them is filled with a liquid of refractive index 1.7, what will be the focal length of the combination?

Answer»

Solution :Given `r=?, f=0.25m, n=1.5, n_(1)=1.7`
For a plano CONVEX lens,

(i) `(1)/(f)=(n-1)((1)/(oo)+(1)/(r))`
`(1)/(0.25)=(1.5-1)((1)/(r))`
HENCE `r=0.5xx0.25=0.125m`
`r=0.125m`
(ii) When thin lenses are in contact,
`(1)/(f)=(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(f_(2))+(1)/(f_(3))`
where, `(1)/(f_(3))=(n_(1)-1)((1)/(-r_(1))+(1)/(-r_(2)))`
i.e.,`(1)/(f_(3))=(1.7-1)((-2)/(0.125))=(-1.4)/(0.125)`
hence, `(1)/(f)=(1)/(0.25)+(1)/(0.25)+(-1.4)/(0.125)=(1+1-2.8)/(0.25)`
i.e., `(1)/(f)=(0.8)/(0.25)`
`THEREFORE` Focal LENGTH of the COMBINATION `=(0.25)/(-0.8)= -0.3125m`.

Electromagnetic radiation of wavelength lambda = 0.30 mu m falls on a photocell operating in the saturation mode. The corresponding spectra sensitivity of the photocell is J = 4.8mA//W. Find the yield of photoelectrons, i.e. the number of photoelectrons produced by each incident photon.

Answer»

Solution :Suppose `N` photons fall on the photocell PER sec. Then the power incident is
`N(2picancelh c)/(LAMBDA)`
This will GIVE rise to a photocurrent of `N(2picancelh c)/(lambda).J`
which means that `N(2picancelh c)/(elambda).J`
electrons have been emitted. THUS the number of photoelectrons produced by each photon is
`w = (2picancelh c)/(elambda) = 0.0198~~0.02`

State radioactive decay law. Derive N=N_0e^(-lambdat)for a radioactive element

Answer»

Solution : Statement : In any RADIOACTIVE sample which undergoes `alpha m beta , GAMMA - `DECAY it is found thatthe number of nuclei undergoing the decay per unit time is proportional to the total number of nuclei in the sample. If N is the number of nuclei in the sample and `Delta N`UNDERGO decay in the time `Delta t`then
`(Delta N)/(Delta t) prop N rArr (Delta N)/(Delta t) = lamda N`
Where `lamda`is CALLED radioactive decay constant (or) disintegration constant
The change in the number of nuclei in the sample is
`dN = -Delta N` in time `Delta t `
Thus the rate of change of N is (in the limit `Delta tto 0` )
`(dN)/(dt) = - lamda N rArr (dN)/(N) = - lamda dt`
Now integration on both sides
`int_(N_0)^(N) (dN)/(N) = - lamda int_(t_0)^(t) dt`
`ln N - ln N_0 = - lamda (t - t_0)`
Here `N_0`is the number of radioactive nuclei in the sample at some arbitarary time `t_0`and N is the number of radioactive nuclei at any subsequent time t, but `t_0 = 0`,
then `ln((N)/(N_0)) = - lamda t`
`rArr (N)/(N_0)= e^(-lamda t)`
`N = N_0 e^(-lamda t)`

"Increasing the current sensitivity of a galvanometer may not increase its voltage sensitivity". Justify this statement .

Answer»

Solution :Current sensitivity=`(NAB)/K`, Voltage sensitivity= `(NAB)/(KR)`
Current sensitivity can be increased by INCREASING the number of turns. But it increases the RESISTANCE of the coil (for a given AREA A). So the voltage sensitivity REMAINS the same.

A plane monochromatic wave of natural light with intensity I_(0) falls normally on an opaque screen with round hole corresponding to the first Fresnel zone for the observation point P. Find the intensity of light at the point P after the hole was converd with two identical Polaroids whose principle directions are mutually perpendicular and the boundary beween them passes (a) along the diameter of the hole, (b) along the circumference of the circle limiting the first half of the fresnel zone.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Assume FIRST that there is no polaroid and the amplitude due to the entire hole which EXTENDS over the first Fresnel zone is `A_(1)`
then, we know, as equal, `I_(0) = (A_(1)^(2))/(4)`,
When the polaroid is introduced as shown above, eaxh half transits only the corresponding polarized light. if the full hole were coveres by one polaroid the ampliyude transmitted will be `(A_(1)//sqrt(2))`.
Therefore the amplitude transmitted in the present case will be `(A_(1))/(2sqrt(2))` through either half.
Since these transmitted waves are polarized in mutually perpendicualr planes, the total intensity will be
`((A_(1))/(2sqrt(2)))^(2) + ((A_(1))/(2sqrt(2))^(2) = A_(1)^(2))/(4) = I_(0)`.
(b) We interpert the problem to mean that the two polaroid pieces are separated along the circulference of the CIRCLE limiting the first half of the Fresnel zone. (This HOWEVER is inconsistent with the polaroids being identical in shape, however no other interpretaion makes sense.)
From `(5.103)` and the previous problem we see that the amplitudes of the waves transmitted through the two parts is
`(A_(1))/(2sqrt(2)) (1+i)`and `(A_(1))/(2sqrt(2)) (1-i)`
and the intensity is
`|(A_(1)^(2))/(2sqrt(2)) (1+i)|^(2) +|(A_(1))/(2sqrt(2)) (1-i)|^(2)`
`= (A_(1)^(2))/(2) = 2I_(0)`
