Using Wien's formula, demonstrate that (a) the most probable radiation frequency omega_(pr) prop t, (b) the maximum spectral density of thermal radiation (u_(omega))_(max) prop T^(3), (c ) the radiosity M_(e) prop T^(4).

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a)The most probable radiation frequency `omega_(P)` is the frequency for which
`(d)/(d omega) u_(omega) = 3 omega^(2)F(omega//T)+(omega)/(T)^(3)F(omega//T) = 0`
The maximum frequency is the ROOT other than `omega = 0` of this EQUATION. It is
`omega=- (3TF(omega//T))/(F'(omega//T))`
or `omega_(Pr) = x_(0)T` where `x_(0)` is the solution of the TRANSCENDENTAL equation
`3F(x_(0)) +x_(0)F' (x_(0)) =0`
(b) The maximum spectral DENSITY is the density corresponding to most probable frequency. It is
`(u_(omega))_(max) = x_(0)^(3)F(x_(0))T^(3) alphaT^(3)`
where `x_(0)` is defined above.
(c ) The radiosity is
`M_(e) = (c)/(4) underset(0)overset(oo)int omega^(3)F((omega)/(T)) d omega = T^(4) [(4)/(c) underset(0)overset(oo)int x^(3)F(x)dx]alpha T^(4)`

Elaborate the standard construction details of AC generator.

Answer»

SOLUTION :CONSIDER a rectangular coil of, N turns kept Figure(a). The coil rotates in anti-clockwise direction with an angular velocity `OMEGA` about an axis, perpendicular to the field.
ii. At time = 0, the plane of the coil is perpendicular to the field and the flux linked with the coil has its maximum value `Phi_(m)=BA` (where Ais the area of the coil).
iii. In a time t seconds, the coil is rotated through an angle `theta(=omegat)` in anti-clockwise direction. In this position, the flux linked is `Phi_(m)COSOMEGAT,` a component of `Phi_(m)` normal to the plane of the coil (Figure(b)). The component parallel to the plane `(Phimsinomegat)` has no role in electromagnetic induction. Therefore, the flux linkage at `NPhi_(B)=NPhi_(m)cos omegat`

iv. According to Faraday's law, the emf induced at that instant is
`epsi=(d)/(dt)(NPhi_(B))=-(d)/(dt)(NPhi_(m)cosomegat)`
=-NPhi(-sinomegat)omega`
=NPhi_(m)omegasinomegat`
v. When the coil is rotated through 90o from intial position, `sinomegat=1.` Then the maximum value of induced emf is
`epsi_(m)=NPhi_(m)omega`
`epsi_(m)=NBAomega""" SINCE "Phi_(m)=BA`
vi. Therefore, the value of induced emf at that instant is then given by
`epsi=epsi_(m)siomegat.`

vii. It is seen that the induced emf varies as sine function of the time angle `omegat.` The graph between induced emf and time angle for one rotaion of coil will be a sine curve (Figure) and the emf varying in this manner is called sinusoidal emf or alternating emf.

` :.` 4th maxima of `lambda_1` coincides with 5th maxima
of `lambda_2`.
` y_min = (4lambda_1 D)/d `
` = (4 XX 6500 xx 10^-10 xx 1.2)/(2 xx (10^(-3)))`
` = 1.56 xx 10^(-3)m = 0.156 CM ` .

Find the distance by which the mark will appear nearer than it really is in terms of n and R assuming paraxial rays.

Answer»


Solution :`(n)/(v_(1)) + (1)/(2R) = (n-1)/(-R) implies v_(t) = -(2nR)/((2n-1))`

Now `u_(2) = R-V_(1) = R + (2nR)/((2n-1)) = ((4n-1))/((2n-1))R`
`(1)/(v_(2)) + (h)/(((4n-1)/(2n-1))R) = (1-n)/(-2R) implies v_(2) = -((4n-1)/(3n-1))xx 2R`
Total shift = `3R - |v_(2)|`
=`3R - (4n-1)/(3n-1) xx 2R = ((n-1))/((3n-1))R`

Explain the formulas of energy of electron in atom revolving around the nucleus in different orbits.

Answer»

Solution :According to the Rutherford nuclear model of the atom which is a electrical neutral sphere of a very small, massive and positively charged nucleus at the centre surrounding by the revolving electron in their respective STABLE orbits. The electrostatic force of attraction, `F_(e)` between the revolving electrons and the nucleus provides the requisite centripetal force to keep them in their orbits.
For a stable orbit in a hydrogen atom,
`F_(e)=F_(e)` where `F_(e)=` Electric force
`F_(e)=` Centripetal force
`:.(1)/(4pi epsi_(0))*(e^(2))/(r^(2))=(MV^(2))/(r)`
`:.r=(e^(2))/(4pi epsi_(0)) mv^(2)....(1)`
which is the relation between the velocity of electron to the orbital radius.
The kinetic energy of electron in hydrogen atom.
`(1)/(2)mv^(2)=(e^(2))/(2xx4pi epsi_(theta)r) [ :.`From equqtion (1)]
And potential energy
`tj=-(1)/(4pi epsi_(0))*(Zexxe)/(r)""..(3)` [ `:.` For hydrogen Z=1]
In this formula, the negative sign in U signifies that the electrostatic force is in the -r.
Hence, the total energy of electron in a hydrogen atom is,
`E=K+U`
`=(e^(2))/( 8pi epsi_(0)r)-(e^(2))/(4pi epsi_(0)r)` [ `:.` From EQUATION (1) and (2)]
`:.E=(e^(2)-2e^(2))/(8 pi epsi_(0)r)=-(e^(2))/(8 pi epsi_(0)r)`
`:. E=-(e^(2))/(8 pi epsi_(0)r)`
The total energy of the electron is negative. The implies the fact that the electron is bound to tl nucleus.
If total energy were positive, an electron will N follow a closed orbit around the nucleus.

`f_e = (1)/(25D) = 0.05m = 5 cm.`
Tube, length = 25 cm, `upsilon_e = 25 cm.`
`:. (1)/(upsilon_0) - (1)/(u_e) = (1)/(f_e)`
`-(1)/(25) - (1)/(u_e) = (1)/(5)`
`RARR- (1)/(u_e) = (1)/(5) + (1)/(25) = (5+1)/(25) = (6)/(25)`
`rArr u_e = - (25)/(6)cm`
`:. upsilon_0 = 25 - (25)/(6)`
`=25xx (5)/(6) = 20.84cm.`
`Again, `(1)/(upsilon_0) - (1)/(u_0) = (1)/(f_0)`
`(1)/(20.83) - (1)/(u_0)= (1)/(4)`
`rArr - (1)/(40) = (1)/(4) = (1)/(20.84)`
`=(5.21 -1)/(20.84) = (4.21)/(20.84)`
`rArr - (upsilon_0)/(f_0) = 4.21`
So, required MAGNIFICATION (m)
`= (upsilon_0)/(u_0) ((D)/(f_e)) = 4.21 xx (25)/(5) = 21.`

Elaborate on the basic elements of communication system with the necessary block diagram.

Answer»

Solution :Elements of an electronic communication system
• Information (Baseband or input signal)
Information can be in the form of a sound signal like speech, music, pictures, or computer data which is given as input to the input transducer. Transmission

Reception

• Input transducer
A transducer is a device that converts variations in a physical quantity (prese temperature, sound) into an equivalent electrical signal or vice versa. In communistem, the transducer converts the information which is in the form of sound pictures or computer data into corresponding electrical signals. The electrical equival of the original information is called the baseband signal. The best example for transducer is the microphone that converts sound energy into electrical energy.
• Transmitter
It feeds the electrical signal from the transducer to the communication channel. It consists of circuits such as amplifier, oscillator, modulator, and power amplifier. The transmitter is located at the broadcasting station.
Amplifier: The transducer output is very weak and is amplified by the amplifier.
Oscillator: It generates high-frequency carrier wave (a sinusoidal wave) for long distance transmission into space. As the energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency, the carrier wave has very high energy
Modulator: It superimposes the baseband signal onto the carrier signal and generates the modulated signal ,
Power amplifier: It increases the power level of the electrical signal in order to COVER a large distance. • Transmitting antenna It radiates the radio signal into space in all directions. It travels in the form of electromagnetic waves with the velocity of light `(3xx10^(8)MS^(-1))`.
• Communication channel Communication channel is used to carry the electrical signal from transmitter to receiver with less noise or distortion. The communication medium is basically of two types wireline communication and wireless communication.
NoiseIt is the undesirable electrical signal that interfaces with the transmitted signal. Noise attenuates or reduces the quality of the transmitted signal. It MAY be man-made automobiles, welding machines, electric motors etc.) or natural (LIGHTENING, radiation from sun and stars and environmental effects). Noise cannot be completely eliminates. However, it can be reduced using various techniques.
Receiver The signals that are transmitted through the communication the help of a receiving antenna and are fed into the receive vacation medium are received with the receiver. The receiver consists of electronic circuits like demodulator. amplifier DET er, delector etc. The demodulator extraces the baseband signal from the carrier signal. Then hen the baseband signal is detected and amplified using amplifiers. Finally, it is fed te amplifiers. Finally, it is fed to the output transducer.
• Repeaters Repeaters are used to increase the range or distance through which the signals are sent. It is a combination of transmitter and receiver. The signals are received, amplified, and retransmitted with a carrier signal of different frequency to the destination. The best example is the communication satellite in space.
• Output transducer It converts the electrical signal back to its original form such as sound, music, pictures or data. Examples of output transducers are loudspeakers, picture tubes, computer monitor, etc.
• Attenuation The loss of strength of a signal while propagating through a medium is known as attenuation.
• Range It is the maximum distance between the source and the destination up to which the signal is received with sufficient strength.

A wire is stretched such that its volume remains constant. The Poisson's ratio of the material of the wire is

Answer»

`0.25`
`0.50`
`-0.25`
`-0.50`

Solution :`SIGMA=((DELTA R)/( r))/( (Delta L)/( I))`
volumeremainconstant`V= Alimplies+-(Delta V )/(V )= +-(Delta A)/( A )+-(Delta l )/(I)implies 0= ( 2Deltar)/( r )+(Delta l )/(I)`
`((Deltar)/(r ))/(( Deltal)/(I)) = -1/2=- 0.5`

A particle executing a simple harmonic motion has a period of 6 sec. The time taken by the particle to move from the mean position to half the amplitude, starting from the mean position is :

Answer»

`(3)/(2)`sec
`(1)/(2)`sec
`(3)/(4)`sec
`(1)/(4)`sec.

Solution :We know that DISPLACEMENT of a particle executing SHM is given by
`y=r SIN omega t`
`:.""( r )/(2)=r sin((2pi)/(T).t)`
`(1)/(2)=sin((2pi)/(T).t)`
`IMPLIES""(2pi)/(T).t=(pi)/(6)`
`implies""t=(T)/(12)`
`t=(6)/(12)=(1)/(2)s`
So correct choice is b.

Solution :From the kinetic theory of gasses we know
`P(2)/(3)(U)/(V)`
Here `U` is the total interval enrgy of the GAS. This result is applicable to Fermi gas also Now at `T = 0`
`U=U_(0)=Nlt E gt = nVlt E gt`
so `p=(2)/(3)n lt E gt`
`=(2)/(3)nxx(3)/(5)E_(F)=(2)/(5)nE_(F)`
`=( ħ^(2))/(5m)(3PI^(2))^(2//3)n^(5//3)`
Substituting the value we get
`p= 4.92xx10^(4)` atoms
