The radii of curvatore of two surfaces of a convex lens is 0.2 m and 0.22 m. Find the the forcal length of the lens if refractive index of the material of lens is 1.5. Also find the change in focal length, if it is immersed in water of refractive index 1.33.

Answer»

Solution :GIVEM: ` R_(1) + 0.2m `
` R_(2) = - 0.22 m ` ,
` n = 1.5 , n_(w) = 1.33 `
w.k.t ` 1/t = (n_(2) - 1) ((1)/(R_(1)) - (1)/(R_(2))) `
i.e., ` 1/f = (1.5 -1) ((1)/(0.2) + (1)/(0.22)) `
i.e., ` 1/f = 0.5 xx (5 + 4.550 = 4.78`
Hence `f = (1)/(4.78) = 0.209 m" but " (f_(w))/(f_(a)) = (n_(r) -1)/(t^(n_(G)) -1) `
i.e., ` (f_(w))/(f_(a)) = (1.5 -1)/((1.33)/(1.33)-1) = 3.91 `
i.e., ` f_(w) = 3.91 f_(a) = 3.91 xx 0.209 = 0.817 m `
FOCAL length of LENS in water = 0.817 m

Two distant sources situated together emit sound each of frequency 300cycles persecond. Ifoneofthemweretoapproach and the other to recede from a stationary observer each with a velocity of 1//100^th the velocity ofsound, calculate the number of beats per second heard by the observer.

Answer»

Solution :The situation is shown in figure-6.87.

The first source is approaching the stationary OBSERVER. The frequencyof the source as heard by observeris given by
`n_(1) = n((v)/(v - v_(s)))`
Where n is the actual frequency of source
`n_(1) = 300((v)/(v - v//100))`
`(300 xx 100)/(99)`
= 303.03 Hz
The second source is receding from the observer in the direction opposite to the sound. Hence the APPARENT frequency `n_(2)`
`n_(2) = ((v)/(v + 0.01v)) xx 300`
`(300 xx 100)/(101)`
= 297.03 Hz
Hence BEAT frequency detected by observer is
`Delta n = 303.03 - 297.03 = 6 Hz`

How does the effective junction potential barrier change when a p-n junction is reverse biased ?

Answer»

Solution :When a p-n junction is reverse BIASED, the d.c.voltage aids the ficititous battery, developed ACROSS the junction and thus the POTENTIAL drop across the junction increases and as a RESULT, the diffusion of holes and electrons across the junction decreases and the p-n junction offeres high resistance . So the width of depletion layer increases.

Find the current in the wire for the configuration shown in figure. Wire PQ has negligible resistance. vecB, the magnetic field is coming out of the paper. theta is a fixed angle made by PQ travelling smoothly over two conducting parallel wires separated by a distance d.

Answer»

Solution :
INDUCE emf in rod can be given by ,
`epsilon=Bvl`
Here, `vecB, VECV` and `VECL`all should be mutually perpendicular and if it is not then we consider their perpendicular component.

Here `vecB` and `vecv` is perpendicular to each other but length of rod PQ is not perpendicular to `vecv` and `vecB`. But Isine component is perpendicular to both `vecv` and `vecB`.
From figure , LSIN`theta`=perpendicular distance between two wire (d)
`therefore lsintheta =d`
`therefore epsilon=Bvd`
Induced emf `epsilon=Bv(lsin theta) = Bvd`
Induced current `I=epsilon IR`
`=(Bvd)/R`
Direction of this induced current is in clockwise direction according to Lenz.s LAW.

Figure shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index 1.50 ) in contact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. A small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be 45.0 cm. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated . the new distance is measured to be 30.0 cm. What is the refractive index of the liquid ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :f = 45 cm , N = 1.5 , `f_(1) = 30`
`therefore (1)/(f_(1)) + (1)/(f_(2)) = (1)/(f) , (1)/(f_(2)) = (1)/(f) - (1)/(f_(1))`
`(1)/(f_(2)) = (1)/(45) - (1)/(30) = (30 - 45)/(45 xx 30) = (-1)/(90)`
`f_(2) = - 90 ` cm
but `(1)/(f_(1)) = (n - 1) [(1)/(R_(1)) - (1)/(R_(2)) ] , R_(1)= R_(2) "" therefore (1)/(f_(1)) = (n - 1)[ (2)/(R) ] `
`(1)/(30) = (1.5 - 1) xx (2)/(R) =(1)/(R) "" therefore R= 30 cm `
` f_(2) = - 90 cm , n = ? , R_(2) = infty , R_(1) = - 30 cm "" therefore (1)/(f_(2)) = (n - 1) [ (1)/(R_(1)) - (1)/(R_(2)) ]`
` (1)/(-90) = (n - 1) [(1)/(-30) - (1)/(infty) ]= (n - 1) xx (1)/(-30) "" therefore n - 1 = (30)/(90) = (1)/(3) = 0.33 `
`therefore n = 0.33 +1 "" n = 1.33 `

Derive an expression for the impedance of a series LCR circuit, when an AC voltage is applied to it.

Answer»

Solution :Consider a RESISTANCE R, an inductor of self inductance L and a capacitor of capacitance C connected in series across an AC source.The applied voltage is given by, `v=v_0 sin omegat` …(1)

where, `v_0` is the instantaneous value, v. is the peak value and `omega = 2pif`, f being the frequency of AC.
If i be the instantaneous current at time t, the instantaneous VOLTAGES across R, L and Care respectively iR, `iX_L` and `iX_C`. The vector sum of the voltage amplitudes across R, L, C EQUALS the amplitude `v_0` of the voltage applied.
Let `v_R,v_L` and `v_C` be the voltage amplitudes across R, L and C respectively and `I_0` the current amplitude.
Then `v_R=i_0R` is in phase with `i_0`.
`v_L=i_0 X_L=i_0 (omegaL)`leads `i_0` by `90^@`
`v_c=i_0X_C=i_0 (1/(omegaC))` lags behind`i_0` by `90^@` .

The current in a pure resistor is phase with the voltage, whereas the current in a pure inductor lags the voltage by `pi/2` rad. The current in a pure capacitor leads the voltage by `pi/2` rad. For`V_L > V_C`, phase angle `phi` between the voltage and the current is positive.
From the RIGHT angled triangle OAP,
`OP^2 = OA^2 +AP^2 =OA^2+ OB^2 (becauseAP=OB)`
`=v_R^2 +(v_L-v_C)^2`
`=(iR)^2 + (iX_L - iX_C)^2`
`=i^2 (R^2 + (X_L -X_C)^2)`
`therefore i=v/sqrt(R^2 + (X_L -X_C)^2)=v/Z`
and `Z=sqrt(R^2 + (X_L -X_C)^2)`
Where Z is the impedance of the circuit
Phase angle between v & i.
`tan phi =(v_L-v_C)/v_R =(X_L-X_C)/R_L`
`phi=tan^(-1) ((X_L-X_C)/R)`

Light guidence in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comparising of thin solid glass cyclider of refractive index n_(1) surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index n_(2). The light giudence in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of media n_(1) and n_(2) as shown in Fig. All rays with the angle of nicidence i less than a particular value i_(m) are confined in a medium of refractive index n_(1). The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as sin i_(m). For two structure namely S_(1) with n_(1) = (sqrt(45))/(4) and n_(2) = (3)/(5), and S_(2) with n_(1) = (8)/(5) and n_(2) = (7)/(5) and taking refractive index of water to be (4)/(3) and their of air to be 1, the correct option (s) is (are).

Answer»

`NA` of `S_(1)` immersed in WATER is same as that of `S_(2)` immersed in a liquid of refractive index `(16)/(3sqrt(15))`,
`NA` of `S_(1)` immersed in liquid of refractive index `(6)/(sqrt(15))` is the same as that of `S_(2)` immersed in water.
`NA` of `S_(1)` PLACED in air same as that of `S_(2)` immersed in liquid of refracitve index `(4)/(sqrt(15))`
`NA` of `S_(1)` placed in air is the same as that of `S_(2)` placed in water.

Solution :Here, `n_(s) rarr` refractive index of surrounding medium
As `n_(s) sin i_(m) = n_(1) sin(90^(@) - C)`…(i)
ALSO, `sin C = (1)/(mu) = (n_(2))/(n_(1))`…(ii)
As `NA = sin i_(m)`
From (i), `sin i_(m) = (n_(1))/(n_(s)) sin (90^(@) - C)`
`= (n_(1))/(n_(s)) cos C = (n_(1))/(n_(s)) sqrt(1 -sin^(2) C)`
`:. NA = (n_(1))/(n_(s))sqrt(1 - (n_(2)^(2))/(n_(1)^(2))) = (1)/(n_(s))sqrt(n_(1)^(2) - n_(2)^(2))`
[from (ii)]
For `S_(1)` in air, `n_(s) = 1, n_(1) = (sqrt(45))/(4), n_(1) = (3)/(2)`
`NA = (1)/(1) = sqrt((45)/(16) - (9)/(4)) = (3)/(4)`
`NA = (sqrt(15))/(6)sqrt((45)/(16) - (9)/(4))= (3sqrt(15))/(24) = (sqrt(15))/(8)`
For `S_(1)` in water
`NA = (1)/(4//3)sqrt((45)/(16) - (9)/(4)) = (3)/(4)((3)/(4)) = (9)/(16)`
For `S_(2)` inair , `n_(s) = 1, n_(1) = (8)/(5), n_(2) = (7)/(5)`
`NA = (1)/(1)sqrt((64)/(25) - (49)/(25)) = (sqrt(15))/(5)`
For `S_(2)` in water, `n_(2) = (4)/(3)`
`NA = (1)/(4//3)sqrt((64)/(25) - (49)/(25)) = (3)/(4)(sqrt(15))/(5)`
For `S_(2)` in `n_(s) = (16)/(3sqrt(15))`
`NA = (3sqrt(15))/(16)sqrt((64)/(25) - (49)/(25)) = (9)/(16)`
For `S_(2)` in `n_(s) = (4)/(sqrt(15))`
`NA = (sqrt(15))/(4)sqrt((64)/(25) - (49)/(25)) = (3)/(4)`
Hence, options 'a' and 'c' are correct.

A point charge q is isolated at the centreO of a spherical uncharged conducting layer provided with a small orifice. The inside and outside radii of the layer are equal to r_(1) and r_(2) respectively. Find the amount of work done to slowly transfer the charge q from the centre O, through the orifice and to infinity.

Answer»

Solution :Because of q, charges will INDUCE on the outer and inner surface of the layer. Thoseare +q and -q RESPECTIVELY.

POTENTIAL at the centre `=(q)/(4pi in_(0)) [(1)/(r_(1)) -(1)/(r_(2))]`
Work done in transferring q from centre to infinity.
`intVdq=int (q)/(4pi in_(0)) [(1)/(r_(1))-(1)/(r_(2))] dq=(q^(2))/(8pi in_(0)) ((1)/(r_(1))-(1)/(r_(2)))`
We can do this even by finding the difference in electric potential ENERGY of the SYSTEM.

To decrease light losses due to reflection from the glass surface the latter is coated with a thin layer of substance whose refractive index n' = sqrt(n), where n is the refractive index of the glass. In this case the amplitudes of electromagnetic oscillations that coating is the glass reflectivity in the direction of the normal equal to zero for light with wavelength lambda?

Answer»

Solution :When the glass surface is coated with a material of `R.I. n' = sqrt(n) (n = R.I.` of glass) of appropriate thickness, reflection is zero because of interference between various multiply reflected waves. We shown this below.
Let a wave of unit amplitide be normal incident from the left. the reflected amplitude is `-r` where
`r = (sqrt(n) - 1)/(sqrt(n) + 1)`
Its phase is `-ve` so we WRITE the reflected wave as `-r`. The transmitted wave has amplitude `t`
`t = (2)/(1 + sqrt(n))`
This wave is reflected at the SECOND face and has amplitude -TR
(beacuse `(n - sqrt(n))/(n + sqrt(n)) = (sqrt(n) - 1)/(sqrt(n) + 1.))`
The emergent wave has amplitude `-tr' r`.
We prove below that `-tt' = 1- r^(2)`. there is also a reflected part of emplitude `tr r' = -tr^(2)`, where `r`' is the reflection coefficient for a ray incident from the coating towards air. After reflection from the second face a wave of amlitude
`+ tt' r^(3) = + (1 - r^(2))r^(3)`
emerges. Let `del` be the pahse of the wave after TRAVERSING the coacting both ways.
Then the complete reflected wave is
`-r-(1 - r^(2)) re^(i del) + (1 - r^(2)) r^(3) e^(2i del)`
`-(1- r^(2)) r^(5) e^(3i del)`........
`= -r- (1- r^(2)) re^(idel) (1)/(1 + r^(2) e^(i del))`
`= -r[1 + r^(2) e^(idel) + (1 -r^(2)) e^(i del)](1)/(1 + r^(2) e^(i del))`
`= -r(1 + e^(idel))/(1 + r^(2) e^(idel))`
This vanishes if `del = (2k + 1) pi`. But
`del = (2pi)/(lambda) 2 sqrt(n) d` so
`d = (lambda)/(4 sqrt(n)) (2k + 1)`
We now deduce `tt' = 1- r^(2)` and `r' = + r`. This follows from the principle of reversibility of light path as shown in the figure below.
`t t' + r^(2) = 1`
`-r t + r't = 0`
`:. tr' = 1 - r^(2)`
`r' = + r`.
`(-r` is the reflection ratio for the wave entering a denser medium).

`""=(5-3)/(30)=(2)/(30)=(1)/(15)`
`rArr""v=15xx1.5=22.5cm`
As v is positive, so a real image is formed at 22.5 cm from END P of the rod.

Drawa labelled diagram of a full-wave rectifier circuit and briefly explain its working, Show the input-output waveforms. Or A student wants to use two p-n junction diodes to convert a.c. into d.c. Draw the labelled circuit diagram she would use and explain how it works.

Answer»

Solution :The circuit arrangement of a ful-wave rectifier using two diodes `D_(1)` and `D_(2)` has been shown in . We USE a centre tap transformer having its SECONDARY wound into two equal parts such that voltages at any instant at A (input of diode `(D_(1))` and B (input of diode `(D_(2))` are out of phase with each other. Let initially input voltage at A is positive then it will be negative voltage at B at that instant. Consequently diode `D_(1)` being in forward bias, conducts while `D_(2)`, being in reverse bias, does not conduct. We get output CURRENT and hence output voltage ACROSS load resistance R, joined between X and Y due to `D_(1)` . After half-cycle of a.c. input, voltage at A becomes negative and thatat B positive. Now diode `D_(1)` does not conduct but `D_(2)` conducts and output voltage is again OBTAINED across `R_(L)` in the same direction. Thus, output i obtained throughout the input wave cycle. The input and output waveforms have been shown in .

Answer»

Solution :Energies of `gamma`- PHOTONS `gamma_(1), gamma_(2), gamma_(3)` are
`E_(1)=(1.088-0) MeV=1.088 MeV=1.088xx1.6xx10^(-13)=1.7408xx10^(-13)J`
`E_(2)=(0.412-0) MeV=0.412 MeV=0.412 MeV=0.412xx1.6xx10^(-13)=0.6592xx10^(-13)J`
`E_(3)=(1.088-0.452) MeV=0.676 MeV=0.672xx1.6xx10^(-13)=1.0816xx10^(-13)J`

Study the table given below: The above table gives I-V relationship for a manganin coil prepared from a wire of cross-section area 1 xx 10^(-7)m^2 and length 4.1 m.Now answer the following questions:(a) Does the maganin coil behave as an ohmic resistor ? (b) What is its electrical resistance ? (c) Determine the resistivity of manganin.(d) Compare the resistivity of manganin with that of copper.(e) Why do you consider manganin an ideal choice for preparing standard resistors ?

Answer»

Solution : (a) Yes, manganin COIL behaves as an ohmic resistor because ratio `V/I`(i.e., the resistance R of the coil) is a CONSTANT for all the values of current ranging from 0.2 A to 8.0 A and if we plot a graphthen graph will be a linear graph.
(b)Value of resistance of given manganin wire R = 1.95 `Omega`
(c) Resistivity of manganin`rho = (RA)/(l) = (1.95 xx (1 xx 10^(-7)))/((4.1)) = 47.6 xx 10^(-8) Omega m`
(d) Resistivity of manganin is much more than that of copper `(1.7 xx 10^(-8) Omega m)`.
(e) From the table we observe that resistance of manganin coil remains unchanged even for aflow of very strong current of 8.0 A, when the coil will become quite hot. It MEANS that resistivity and hence resistance of a manganin coil remains practically unchanged and is not altered on changing the temperature. Due to this property we consider manganin an ideal MATERIAL for preparing standard resistors.

Usingthebetatroncondition, find the radiusof a roundorbit of an electron if themagneticinduction is knownas a function of distance r fromthe axisof the field. Examine this problem for the specfic case B = B_(0) - alpha r^(2), where B_(0) and a are positive constants.

Answer»

Solution :The condtion, `B(r_(0)) = (1)/(2) lt B gt = (1)/(2) int_(0)^(r_(0)) B.2pi r dr//pi r_(0)^(2)`
or, `B (r_(0)) = (1)/(r_(0)^(2)) int_(0)^(r_(0)) Br dr`
The gives `r_(0)`.
In the present case,
`B_(0) - ar_(0)^(2) = (1)/(r_(0)^(2)) int_(0)^(r_(0)) (B - ar^(2)) RDR = (1)/(2) (B_(0) - (1)/(2) ar_(0)^(2))`
or, `(3)/(4) ar_(0)^(2) = (1)/(2) B_(0)` or `r_(0) = sqrt((2 B_(0))/(3a))`

A small sphere of radius r_1 and charge q_1 is enclosed by a spherical shell of radium r_2 and charge q_2. Show that if q_1 is positive , charge will neecessarily flow from the sphere to the shell ( when the two are connected by a wire ) no matter what the charge q_2 on the shell is .

Answer»

Solution :Hint: By Gauss’s law, field between the SPHERE and the SHELL is determined by `q_(1)` alone. Hence, potential DIFFERENCE between the sphere and the shell is independent of `q_(2)`. If `q_(1)`is positive, this potential difference is always positive.
