(i) What characteristic property of nuclear force explains the constancy of binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) in the range of mass number ‘A’ lying 30 lt A lt 170? (ii) Show that the density of nucleus over a wide range of nuclei is constant-independent of mass number A. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Constancy of binding energy per nucleon in the RANGE of mass number ‘A’ ranging from 30 to 170 can be EXPLAINED on the basis of short ranged nature of NUCLEAR force. Inside a sufficiently large nucleon a particular nucleon is under the INFLUENCE of only some of its neighbours which come within the range of the nuclear force. If a nucleon can have a maximum of p neighbours within the range of nuclear force, its binding energy would be proportional to p or the binding energy of the nucleon will be pk where k is a constant having the dimensions of energy. Thus, it is clear that the binding energy per nucleon is a constant and EQUAL to pk. |

The basic principle underlying the hall effect is the Lorentz force. Whenk an electron moves along a direction perpendicular to an applied magnetic field. It exeriences a force acting normal to both the directions and moves in response to this force and the force exerted by the internal electric field. For an - n-type bar shaped semiconductor, the carries are predominatly electrons of bulk density n. We assume that the constant current I flows along the x-axis from left to right in the presence of a magnetic field toward the negative z-axis resulting in an excess surface electrical charge on the sides of the sample. this charge results in the hall voltage a potential drop across the two sides of the sample Thre transverse voltage is the hall voltage V_(H) and its magnitude is equal to IB/qnD, where I is the current B is the magnetic field, d is the sample thickness and q is the elementary charge. A silver ribbon lies as shown in the adjacent figure (z_(1) = 11.8 mm and = 0.23 mm) carrying a current of 120 A in the x -direction inunifrom magnetic field B = 0.95 T.

Answer» SOLUTION :We consider the invariance of the plane of a wave moving in the `x-y` plane. We write `omega't' - k'_(x)chi' - k'_(y)y' = omegat - k_(x)chi - k_(y)y` From Lorcntz transformations, `L.H.S.` `= omega' gamma (t-(vx)/(c^(2))) -k'_(x)(x-vt) gamma - k'_(y)y` so EQUATING `omega = gamma (omega' +v k'_(x))` `k_(x) = gamma (k'_(x)+(v omega')/(c^(2)))` and `k_(y) = k'_(y)` `omega' = gamma (omega - vk_(x))` so inverting `k'_(x) = gamma (k_(x) -(v omega)/(c^(2)))` `k'_(y) = k_(y)` `k'_(x) = k' costheta', k_(x) = k cos theta` weiting `k'_(y) = k' sin theta', k_(y) = k sin theta` we get on using `ck' = omega', ck = omega` `cos theta' = (cos theta - beta)/(1-beta costheta)` where `beta = (v)/(c)` and the primed frame is moving with velocity `v` in the `x-`direction w.r.t. the unprimed frame. For small `beta lt lt 1`, the situation is as SHOWN. We see that `theta' =- beta` Then `theta' =- ((pi)/(2)+sin^(-1)beta)` This is exactly what we get from ELEMENTARY nonrelativistic law of addition of VELOCITIES,

Answer» `Re = (rho vd)/(eta) = (8 xx 10^2 xx 0.8 xx 1.1)/(10^(-2)) = 7 xx 10^4` This is much greater than 2320, and therefore the hydraulic friction coefficient should be determined from the EMPIRICAL formula `lambda = (0.316)/(root(4)(Re)) = 1.94 xx 10^(-2) ~~ 0.02` This enables us to find the pressure drop in the section using formula (30.32) To find the power, use formula `P = Fv= Delta p Sv`. NOTE that this calculation was made for an IDEALLY smooth pipe, in a real pipe the required pressure drop, and consequently the pump power, is substantially greater. |

The coercivity of a small magnet where the ferromagnet gets demagnetised is 3 xx 10^(3) A//m. The current required to be passed in a solenoid of length 10 cm and number of turns 100, so that the magnet gets demagnetised when placed inside the solenoid is |
|
Answer» 30 mA The coercivity of `3 xx 10^(3) A//m` of the MAGNET implies that a magnetic field of intensity `H = 3 xx 10^(3) A//m` should be APPLIED in opposite direction to demagnetise the magnet. For a solenoid, `B = mu_(0)H` but `B = mu_(0)H` `therefore H = ni` In this case , `N = (1000)/(10cm)= (100)/(10xx10^(-2)m) = 1000 "turns"//m` `:. i = H/n = (3 xx10^(3))/(1000) = 3A` |

Answer» SOLUTION :When ELECTRON moves normal to uniform electric field E, it has definite drift VELOCITY. Drift velocity is given by, `v_(d) = (Ee tau)/(m) ` Also due to charge accumulate momentarily at JUNCTION it produce additional electric field which affect drift velocity. Hence, once charge leaves junction momentum is not conserved. |

Answer» Solution :Green house effect : Temperature of the earth increases due to the radiation emitted by the earth is TRAPPED by atmospheric gases like `CO_(2), CH_(4), N_(2)`, Chlorofluoro carbons ETC is called green house efiect. i) Radiation from the sun enters the atmosphere and heat the objects on the earth.These heated objects emit infrared rays. II) These rays are reflected back to Earth’s surface and trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. Due to this temperature of the earth increases. iii) The layers of carbon dioxide `(CO_(2))` and low lying clouds prevent infrared rays to escape Earth’s atmosphere. iv) Since day-by-day the amount of carbondioxide in the atmosphere increases, more infrared rays are entrapped in the atmosphere. v) Hence the temperature of the Earth's surface increases day by day. |
