A particle falls from a height 'h' upon a fixed horizontal plane and rebounds. If 'e' is the coefficient of restitution the total distance travelled before rebounding has stopped is :

Answer»

`h((1+e^2)/(1-e^2))`
`h((1-e^2)/(1+e^2))`
`h/(2)((1-e^2)/(1+e^2))`
`h/(2)((1+e^2)/(1-e^2))`

Solution :Here TOTAL distance travelled is GIVING by
`S=h+2e^2h+2e^4h+2e^6h+`
or`S=h+2e^2h[1+e^2+e^4+e^6+…]`
This GIVES infinite G.P. with common ratio `e^2`.
`S=h+2e^h[(1)/(1-e^2)]=h[1+(2e^2)/(1-e^2)]`
=`h[(1+e^2)/(1-e^2)]`.

As you have learnt in the text, the principle of linear superposition of wave displacement is basic to understanding intensity distributions in diffraction and interference patterns. What is the justification of this principle ?

Answer»

Solution :The principle of LINEAR superposition of wave displacement is basic to understand intensity distributions in interference as well as diffraction patterns. The superposition principle follows from the linear CHARACTER of the differential equation of wave motion. if `y_(1) and y_(2)` are two possible solutions of a wave equation, then any linear combination of `y_(1) and y_(2)` is also a solution of that very wave equation. THEREFORE, we are fully JUSTIFIED in APPLYING the superposition principle to find intensity distributions in diffraction as well as interference patterns obtained due to superposition of waves.

A thin converging lens has a focal length 'f' in air. If it is completely immersed in a liquid, briefly explain, how the focal length of the lens will vary ?

Answer»

Solution :The focal length of a CONVERGING lens is given by:
`1/f = (n/n_(m)-1) (1/R_(1)+1/R_(2))`
where n = refractive index of lens and `n_(m)` =refracting index of the surrounding medium.
Hence in AIR
`1/f = (n-1) (1/R_(1) + 1/R_(2))` and in a given liquid medium `=1/f. = (n/n_(m)-1) (1/R_(1)+1/R_(2))`
`f. = ((n-1)n_(m)f)/(n-n_(m))`
Following two cases are important here :
(i) If `n_(m) lt n`, then `f.`is +ve and has a value greater than f i.e., focal length of the lens increases when immersed in given liquid medium but even now the lens behaves as a converging lens.
(ii) If `n_m GT n`, then f. is -ve i.e., the lens will BEGIN to behave as a diverging lens.

A consider the situation in figure. The bottom of the pot is a reflecting plane mirror. F is a fish and B is a bird. (a) At what distance(s) from itself will the fish see the image (b) At what distance(s) from itself will the bird see theimage(s) of the fish? Take m_(wa) = 4/3

Answer»

Solution :(a) For the FISH, the distance of bird from FREE surface is`(4h)/(3)`or 1.33 h, Distance of fish from the free surface = 0.5 h. So, the required distance is 1.83 h.

Again, effective distance of bird from themirror is nh + h or 2.33 h. So, distance of bird's image from mirror is 2.33 h. Distance from fish is 2.33 h +0.5 h i.e. 2.83 h.
(b)For the bird, distance of fish from the freesurface is `(h)/(2n) " or " (h)/( 2 xx 4/3) " or "(3h)/(8) ` or 0.375 h
Distance of fish from bird is 0.375 h + h i.e. 1.375 h. Again, distance of image of fish from mirror is ` h/2`
Effective distance (for the bird) of the image of fish is the mirror is
` 1/n | (3h)/(2) | + h"i.e."3/4 xx (3h)/(2) + h " or " (9H)/(8) + h " or " (17h)/(8)` or 2.125 h .

`dB=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(Idlsintheta)/(r^(2))`
Biot -Savart ' s law in vector FORM
`vec(dB)=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(I(vecdlxxvecr))/(r^(3))`
(b)Consider a circular coil ofradius r , CARRYING a current I . Plane of the coil is Y- Z Plane . Magnetic field due to a current carrying element is dB and due to M'N is dB'. According to Biot - Savart 's law ,
`|vecdB|=|vecdB'|=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(Idlsin90^(@))/(a^(2))=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(Idl)/(a^(2))`
These fields MAY be resolved into components along X axis and Y axis .Component along X axis will be dB`sinphiand dB'sinphi`.
Component along Y axis will be dB `cosphiand dB'cosphi`, they will be opposite in direction and cancelled out .
I lence , net magnetic field at point P due to all the elements on the loop is given by

`B=intdBsinphi`
Value of `dB=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(Idl)/(a^(2))andsinphi=(r)/(a)`
`B=int_(0)^(2pir)(mu_(0))/(4pi)(Idl)/(a^(2))(r)/(a)`

`B=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(Ir)/(a^(3))(2pir)`
`B=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(2pir^(2))/(a^(3))`
`a=(r^(2)+x^(2))^(1//2)`
`B=(mu_(0))/(4pi)(2pir^(2))/((r^(2)+x^(2))^(3//2))`

An electric bulb is rated to give correct brightness at 24 V DC. It is connected to an AC source and its brightness is found to be one fourth of rated brightness. What is peak voltage across AC source ?

Answer»

`12 sqrt(2)`
`12//sqrt(2)`
`24 sqrt(2)`
`24 // sqrt(2)`

Solution :(a) If V is the rms voltage across bulb in case of AC source then we can write the FOLLOWING :
`(V^(2))/(R ) = (1)/(4) ((24^(2))/( R))`
`implies V = 12 ` volts
Peak voltage is `sqrt(2)` times the rms voltage . HENCE peak voltage across AC SUPPLY is `12SQRT(2)` volts.

Let E_(n)=(-1-me^(4))/(8epsi_(0)^(2)n^(2)h^(2)) be the enrgy of the n^(th) level of H-atom if all the H-atoms are in the ground state and radiation of frequency (E_(2)-E_(1))//h falls. On it

Answer»

it will not be absorbed at all
some of atoms will MOVE to the first excited state.
all atoms will be excited to the n = 2 state
no atoms will make a transition to the n = 3 state.

Solution :When photons with frequency `(E_(2)-E_(1))/(h)`incident on the given hydrogen atoms lying in GROUND state n = 1, because of CONTINUOUS orbital motion of electrons in these atoms, all the incident photons are not able to make collisions with the electrons. Here whichever electrons happen to collide with incident photons, have their FINAL energy equal to
`E_(2).=E_(1)+hv :.E_(2).=E_(1)+h((E_(2)-E_(1))/(h))=E_(2)`
Hence all such electrons go into n = 2 state i.e. first excited state.
`rArr` Thus, OPTION (B) is correct. Here energy obtained from incident radiation `=E_(2)-E_(1)=-3.4-(-12.6)=10.2eV`which is not sufficient to take the electron into n = 3 state. Thus, none of given hydrogen atoms would go into n = 3 state.
`rArr` Thus, option (D) is correct.

SOLUTION :According to the question, the given situation is shown below,

Let mass of body = m and AB= BC = CD = x
[Given in AB, BC and CD plane coefficient of friction respectively 0, `mu/2 " and "mu`]
For inclined plane AB, friction force, F = 0
So, the net force equation,

or `a=gsintheta`
Here, from THIRD equation of the motion,
`""v^(2)=u^(2)+2ax`
or `""v^(2)=2 times gsintheta times x=2gxsintheta[because u=0]`
For inclined plane BC, friction force,
`F=(mu//2)mgcostheta`
So, net force equation,
`rArr mgsintheta-(mu//2)mgcostheta=ma^(.)`
`rArr a^(.)=gsintheta-mu/2gcostheta`
From third equation of the motion, `v^(2)=u^(2)+2a^(.)x`
`rArr v^(2)=u^(2)+2a^(.)x ""[because " inthis case " u^(.)=v]`
`rArr v^(2)=2gxsintheta+2(gsintheta-mu/2gcostheta)x`
`""v^(2)=4gxsintheta-mugxcostheta`
For inclined plane CD, friction force, `F=mumgcostheta`
So, net force equation,
`rArr mgsintheta-mumgcostheta=ma^(.)`
`rArr a^(.)=gsintheta-mugcostheta`
From third equation of the motion,
`rArr v..=mu^(.)+2a^(.)x=mu^(.)+2a^(.)x ""(because mu^(.)=v^(.))`

(a) Derive a relation between electric current and drift velocity of charge carriers. 9b) Deduce the expression for resistivty. (c) What is the effect of temperature on resistivity?

Answer»

Solution :Ohm.s law. It states that current flowing through a conductor is proportional to the potential difference across its two ends, PROVIDED to physical conditions (temperature, mechanical strain etc.) of the conductor remain unchanged.

Drift velocity `(v_(d))` is the velocity of the free electrons with which they are drifted towards the positive terminal under the INFLUENCE of the external field.
(a) Relation between electron current and drift velocity. CONSIDER that a wire of length l and area of cross-section A be subjected to an electric field of strength E.
If V=Potential difference applied across the end of the wire,
`therefore E=(V)/(l) or V=El`
Let n=number of free electrons per unit volume of the conductor, `v_(d)=` Drift velocity of electrons
`therefore` Charge flowing through the conductor wire=nA
le
Time taken by the electrons,
`t=("Distance")/("Velocity")=(l)/(v_(d))`
`therefore`Current, `I=("Charge")/("Time")=(nAl e)/((l)/(v_(d)))`
`I=nv_(d)Ae`. . . (i)
Since current density `J=(I)/(A)`
So `J=nv_(d)e`
this is the required relation between current and drift velocity.
(b) Expression for Resistivity. According to Ohm.s law,
`V=IR`
or `V=(v_(d)nAe)R`
`E=(V)/(l)=(v_(d)n eA)/(l)R`
Force acting on each electron
`eE=n e^(2)(AR)/(l)v_(d)`
Acceleration under electric field`=(a=(eE)/(m))`
`e(E)/(m)=((n e^(2))/(m))(AR)/(l)v_(d)`. .(ii)
`therefore` Velocity acquired by the electron under the action of applied electric field is
`therefore `Velocity acquired by the electron under the action of applied electric field is
`v_(d)=(eE)/(m)tau`
Where `tau`=relaxation time in which the electron is accelerated substituting `v_(d)` from above in equation (2), we have
`(eE)/(m)=((n e^(2))/(m))(AR)/(l)xx(eE)/(m)tau`
`therefore (AR)/(l)=(m)/(n e^(2))(1)/(tau)""[becauserho=(AR)/(l)]`
`rho=(m)/(n e^(2))(1)/(tau)`
This is the required expression for resistivity.
(c) Variation of Resistivity with temperature
Resistivity `rho=(m)/(n e^(2))(1)/(tau)`
`thereforerhoprop(1)/(tau)`
The resistivity varies with relaxation time. the relaxation time changes with collision. it will DECREASE with increase amplitude of vibration. since with the increase in temperature, the amplitude of vibration increases, relaxation time decreases and hence resistivity increases.
In many metals, at room temperature resistivity increases with increase in temperature. at low temperature, resistivity increases at a higher power of T. this is shown in the figure.

(a) State the postulates of Bohr's model of hydrogen atom and derive the expression for Bohr radius. (b) Find the ratio of the longest and the shortest wavelengths amongst the spectral lines of Balmer series in the spectrum of hydrogen atom.

Answer»

Solution :Bohr gave following three postulates for hydrogen atom:
1. An electron revolves round the nucleus in certain specifie circular motion in such a stationary ORBIT is provided by electrostatic force of attraction . Thus,
`(mv_n^2)/(r_n)=1/(4piepsilon_0).e^(2)/r_(n)^2""...(i)`
2. For an orbit to be stationary (or non - radiating, the angular momentum of the electron must be an integer multiple of `h/(2pi)` , where h is the Planck.s constant. Thus,
`L_(m)=mv_(n)r_(n)=(nh)/(2pi)""...(ii)`
3. Whenever an electron shifs from one of its specified non - radiating orbit to another such orbit, it emits/absorbs a PHOTON whose energy is equal to the initial and final states. Thus,
`E_(i)-E_f=hv=(hc)/LAMDA""...(iii)`
Form (i), we get
`v_(n)^(2)=e^2/(4piepsilon_0mr_n)"".....(iv)`
and from (ii) , we have
`v_(n)=(nh)/(2pimr_n)""...(v)`
Squaring (v) and then equating it with (iv) , we get
`(n^2h^2)/(4pi^(2)m^(2)r_n^2)=e^2/(4piepsilon_(0)m.r_n)`
`impliesr_n=(n^2h^2)/(4pi^(2)m^(2))xx(4piin_(0)m)/e^2=(in_0h^2)/(pime^2).n^2`
In stable orbit of hydrogen atom n= 1 and then radius of 1st orbit is called Bohr.s radius `.a_0.` . Obviously `a_(0)=(in_(0)h^2)/(pime^2)`. Substituting values of various constants we find that `a_(0)= 5.29 xx10^(-11)m`
(b) We know wavelength of various SPECTRAL lines of Balmer series is given by the relation
`1/lamda=R[1/(2)^(2)-1/((n)^(2))]` where n = 3,4,5,6.....
We obtain the longest wavelength when n = 3 and shortest wavelength when `n = oo`
`implies1/(lamda_("longest"))=R[1/(2)^(2)-1/(oo)^2]=R/4`
`implies(lamda_("longest"))/(lamda_("shortest"))=(R/4)/((5R)/36)=9/5`

Two soap bubbles with radii of curvature R_(1) and R_(2) where R_(2)lt R_(1) are brought into contact as shown in Fig. 21.10. What is the radius of curvature of the film between them? What is the contact angle of the films?

Answer»

Solution :The pressures from the left and from the RIGHT are equal, i.e.
`Delta p_(1)+Deltap=Deltap_(2)= or (4 sigma)/(R_(1))+(4 sigma)/(R)=(4 sigma)/(R_(2))`
Here `Delta=4sigma//R`, for the film has two surfaces--the EXTERNAL and the INTERNAL. Hence
`(1)/(R)=(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))`
Since at the point of contact of the three films we have a system of three forces of equal magnitude in equilibrium in a plane, the angle

between the forces is found from the condition that they form a closed triangle.

Find the mutual inductance between the straight wire and the square loop of figure.

Answer»

Solution :We know `(d PHI)/(dt)=E=Lxx(di)/(dt)`
From the QUESTION
(di)/(dt)=(d)/(dt) (i_(0) sin(OMEGA) t=i_(0) (omega)cos (omega)t)`
(d phi)/(dt)=E=(mu_(0)ai_(0)(omega)cos(omega)t)/(2 pi)+In (1+(a)/(b))`
`Now, E =M.(d phi)/(dt)`
`Now, E=M.(dphi)/(dt)`
`or (mu_(0)ai_(0)(omega)cos(omega)t)/(2 pi) In (1+(a)/(b))`
`Mxxi_(0) (omega)cos (omega)t`
`impliesM=(mu_(0)a)/(2 pi) In (1+(a)/(b))`.
