M_(x) and M_(y) denote the atomic masses of the parent and the daughter nuclei respectively in radioactive decay . The Q - value for a beta^(-) decay is Q_(1) and that for a beta^(+) decay is Q_(2). If m_(e) denotes the mass of an electron then which of the following statements is correct?

Answer»

`Q_1=(M_x-M_y)c^2` and `Q_2=(M_x-M_y-2m_e)c^2`
`Q_1=(M_x-M_y)c^2` and `Q_2=(M_x-M_y)c^2`
`Q_1=(M_x-M_y-2m_e)c^2` and `Q_2=(M_x-M_y + 2m_e)c^2`
`Q_1=(M_x-M_y+2m_e)c^2` and `Q_2=(M_x-M_y+2m_e)c^2`

SOLUTION :`beta^(-)` decay is represented as `._ZX^A to ._(Z+1)Y^A + ._(-1)e^0 + barupsilon+Q_1`
`THEREFORE Q_1=[m_N(._ZX^A)-m_N(._(Z+1)Y^A)-m_e]c^2`
`=[m_N(._ZX^A)+Zm_e-m_N(._(Z+1)Y^A) - (Z+1)m_e]c^2`
`=[m(._ZX^A)-m(._(Z+1)Y^A)]c^2=(M_x- M_y)c^2`
`beta^+` decay is represented as `._ZX^A=._(Z-1)Y^A + ._1e^0 + UPSILON + Q_2`
`therefore Q_2=[m_N(._ZX^A)-m_N(._(Z-1)Y^A)-m_e]c^2`
`=[m_N(._ZX^A)+Zm_e-m_N(._(Z-1)Y^A) - (Z-1)m_e-2m_e]c^2`
`=[m(._ZX^A)-m(._(Z-1)Y^A)-2m_e] c^2=(M_x-M_y-2m_e) c^2`

A cell of 1.5V is connected across an inductor of 2mH in series with a 2 Omega resistor What is the rate of growth of current immediately after the cell is switched on.

Answer»

Solution :`E=L(dI)/(dt)+IR`, THEREFORE, `(dI)/(dt)=(E-IR)/(L)` E=1.5 Volt,R=2 `OMEGA`, L = 2mH = `2 xx 10^(-3)` H
When the cell is SWITCHED on, I = 0
Hence `(dI)/(dt)=(E)/(L)=(1.5)/(2 xx 10^(-3)) As^(-1)= 750 As^(-1)`

Answer»

`(46)/(7)lambda_(0)`
`(20)/(3)lambda_(0)`
`(36)/(5)lambda_(0)`
`(27)/(4)lambda_(0)`

Solution :For maximum WAVELENGTH of ultravioli spectrum n = 2,
`:.(1)/(lambda_(0))=R[(1)/(l^(2))-(1)/(n^(2))]`
`=R[1-(1)/(4)]`
`(1)/(lambda_(0))=(3R)/(4) .....(1)`
For minimum wavelength of infrared spectrum for Paschen series, n = 0
`(1)/(lambda)=R[(1)/(3^(2))-(1)/(n^(2))]`
`=R[(1)/(9)-(1)/(OO^(2))]`
`=(R)/(9)....(2)`
By taking ratio of (1) and (2)
`(lambda)/(lambda_(0))=(3R)/(4)xx(9)/(R)`
`:. lambda=(27)/(4)lambda_(0)`

(i) A poor emitter has a large reflectivity . Explain why. (ii) A copper tumbler feels much colder than a wooden block on a cold day. Explain why. (iii) The earth would become so cold that life is not possible on it in the absence of the atmosphere. Explain why? (iv) Why clear nights are cooler than cloudy nights? Why does a piece of red glass when heated and taken out glow with green light? (vi) Why does the earth not become as hot as the sun although it has been receiving heat from the sun for ages? (vii) Animals curl into a ball when they are very cool. Why? (viii) Heat is generated continuously in an electric heater but its temperature becomes constant after some time. Explain why? (ix) A piece of paper wrapped tightly on a wooden rod is observed to get charred quickly when held over a flame as compared to a similar piece of paper when wrapped on a brass rod. Explain why? (x) Liquid in a metallic pot boils quickly whose base is made black and rough than in a pot whose base is highly polished . Why?

Answer»


Answer :(i) According to Kirchoff's law , a good absorber is a good emitter. Since a body with large reflectivity is a poor absorber, so it will also be a poor emitter.
(ii) Copper is a good conductor of heat, whereas a wood is a bad conductor of heat . When copper tumbler is touched, the heat will flow from our body which is at higher temperature than the copper tumbler and hence we feel cold. In case of wooden tray, no heat is transferred from our body to the tray and hence we do not feel cold.
(iii) The atmosphere of earth behaves as an insulating envelop to infra red radiations, which do not allow the whole heat received by earth during day time to escape from it during night . But if there is no atmosphere ,then the whole heat radiated by earth will leave its surface and it becomes too cold.
(iv) On a clear night , the earth radiates energy into SPACE at a rate proportional to the fourth power of its temperature (about `300K`). The incoming radiation from space is very small because its average temperature is near absolute zero. On the other hand with cloud over, the earth radiates at `300K` , but the radiation is absorbed in the clouds, which radiate energy back to earth again the radiation is trapped , like the green house effect.
(v) A red glass absorbs green light STRONGLY at room temperature. when it is heated it emits green light, THUS satisfying Kirchoff's law.
(vi) Because during day time it receives the heat but it radiates the heat during nights.
(vii) The energy radiates per unit time is directly proportional to the surface area of the body. By curling into a ball, the surface area of the body of the body of the animals decreases and hence loss of heat is reduced.
(viii) This is because the rate at which heat is generated becomes equal to the rate at which heat is lost by radiation (i.e., steady state) after some time when the heater is switched on.
(ix) Wood is bad conductor of heat and is unable to conduct away the heat. So the paper quicklyreaches its ignition temp. and is charred .On the other hand, BRASS is good conductor of heat and away the heat quickly.So the paper does not reach its ignition point easily.
(x) Black and rough surface is a good absorber of heat than the polished surface. That is why liquid in metallic pot BOILS quickly whose base is made balck and rough.

Using Rutherford model of the atom, derive the expression for the total energy of the electron in hydrogen atom. What is the significance of total negative energy possessed by the electron?

Answer»

Solution :As per Rutherford model of the ATOM, an electron revolves around the nucleus of HYDROGEN atom such that the requisite centripetal force is provided by the coulombian attraction force acting on it due to nucleus. Thus
`(mv^(2))/(r)= (1)/(4pi in_(0)).(e^(2))/(r^(2)) rArr mv^(2) =(1)/(4 pi in_(0)) .(e^(2))/(r)`
`therefore ` Kinetic energy of orbiting electron `K = (1)/(2) mv^(2) = (1)/(2) xx(1)/(4 pi in_(0)) .(e^(2))/(r) = (e^(2))/(8 pi in_(0)r)` andpotential energy of orbitingelectron `U = (q_(1)q_(2))/(4 pi in_(0) r) = (e^(2))/(4pi in_(0) r)`
`therefore ` Totalenergyof electron in hydrgoenatom ` E =K + U = (e^(2))/(8 pi in_(0) r)- (e^(2))/(4pi in_(0)r)=- (e^(2))/(8 pi in_(0)r)`
The negative sign of energy signifies that the electron is bound to the nucleus and cannot escape from its orbit at its own.

What is a rectifier ? How a p-n junction diode can be used as a rectifier?

Answer»

Solution :p-n junction as half wave RECTIFIER
The CIRCUIT for using junction DIODE as half wave rectifier is as shown below in figure (a) .

During first half of a.c.one of the ends of secondary SAY A ,becomes positive and diode operates under forward bias and the current flows through load R. During second half, A becomes negative and diode operates under negative bias. Practically no current flows through the load. Thus half of the cycle of a.c. is rectified and we GET unidirectional current as shown in fig. (b).

Derive the equation for effective focal length for lenses in out of contact.

Answer»

Solution :When two thin lenses are separated by a distance d.
(i) Let O be a point object on the principal axis of a lens. OA is the incident ray on the lens at a point A at a height h above the optical centre. (II) The ray is deviated through an angle `delta` and forms the image at I on the principal axis. (iii) The incident and refracted rays subtend the angles, `angleAOP = alpha` and `angleAIP = beta` with the principal axis respectively. In the TRIANGLE `triangleOAI` , the angle of deviation `delta` can be written as,
` delta = alpha + beta "" ....(1)`
If the height h is small as compared to PO and Pl the angles `alpha , beta ` and `delta`are also small. Then,
` alpha ~~ tan alpha = (PA)/(PO) , " and " beta ~~ tan beta = (PA)/(PI) "" ....(2)`
Then,` delta= (PA)/(PO) + (PA)/(PI) "" ....(3)`
Here, `PA = h,PO = - u " and " PI = v`
` delta = (h)/( - u) + h/v = h ((1)/(-u) + (1)/(v)) "" ....(4)`
After rearranging
` delta = h (1/v - 1/u) = h/f`
` delta = h/f "" ...(5)`
(iv) The above equation tells that the angle of deviation is the ratio of height to the focal length. Now, the case of two lenses of focal length `f_1` and `f_2` arranged coaxially but separated by a distance d can be considered as shown in the below Figure.

(v)For a parallel ray that falls on the arrangement, the two lenses produce deviations `delta_1` and `delta_2` respectively and The net deviation `delta` is.
` delta= delta_1 + delta_2 "" ....(6)`
From Equation (5),
` delta_1 = (h_1)/(f_1) , delta_2 = (h_2)/(f_2) " and " delta = (h_1)/(f) "" ....(7)`
The equation (6) becomes,
` (h_1)/(f) + (h_1)/(f_1) + (h_2)/(f_2) "" ....(8)`
From the geometry,
` h_2 - h_1 = P_2 G - P_2 C= CG`
`h_2- h_1 = BG tan delta_1 ~~ BGdelta_1`
` h_2 - h_1 = d(h_1)/(f_1)`
` h_2 = h_1 d(h_1)/(f_1) "" ....(9)`
Substituting the above equation in Equation (8).
` (h_1)/(f) = (h_1)/(f_1) + (h_1)/(f_2) + (h_1 d)/(f_1 f_2)`
On further simplification,
`1/f = (1)/(f_1) + (1)/(f_2) + (d)/(f_1f_2) "" ....(10)`
(vi) The above equation could be used to FIND the equivalent focal length. To find the position of the equivalent lens, we can further write from the geometry,
` PP_2 = EG = (GC)/(tan delta)`
`PP_2 = EG = (GC)/(tan delta) = (h_1 - h_2)/(tan delta) = (h_1 - h_2)/(delta)`
From equations (7) and (9)
` h_2 - h_1 = d (h_1)/(f_1) " and " delta= (h_1)/(f)`
`PP_2 = (d (h_1)/(f_1)) xx ((f)/(h_1))`
` PP_2 = (d (f)/(f_1))`

Due to economic reasons, only the upper side band of an AM wave is transmitted, but at the receiving station, there is a facility for generating the carrier. Show that if device is available which can multiply two signals, then it is possible to recover the modulating signal at the receiver station.

Answer»

Solution :Let `omega_c and omega_m` be the ANGULAR frequency of carrier WAVES and message SIGNAL wave respectively.
For simplicity, let the signal received at the receiving station be
`e = E_1 cos (omega_c + omega_m)t`
Let the instantaneous voltage of carrier waves `(e_c)` given by
`e_c = E_c cos omega_ct `
be avialable at the receiving station,
Now, `e xx e_c = E_1E_c cos (omega_c + omega_m) t cos omega_ct`
`(E_1E_c)/2 [ cos {(omega_c + omega_m) t + omega_ct} + cos { (omega_c + omega_m) t - omega_ct}]`
`= (E_1E_c)/2[cos(2omega_c+omega_m) t + cos omega_mt]`
At the receiving station, when the signal is passed through low-by pass FILTER, it will pass the high frequency
signals `(2omega_c + omega_m)` but obstruct the low frequency signal `omega_m`. Therefore, we can record the modulating
signal `= (E_1E_c)/2 cos omega_mt`, which is a signal of angular frequency `omega_m`.

Show that the current in a pure resistor is in phase with the ac voltage across it and hence S.T. average power dissipation in a resistor is i^(2)R where I is r.m.s value of ac.

Answer»

SOLUTION :
Let I be the current in a RESISTOR voltage drop a cross the resistor will be iR, supplying KVL to the closed loop. We write `v_(m)sinomegat=iR`.
i.e., `i=((v_(m))/(R))sinomegat`
i.e., `i=i_(m)sinomegat` where `i_(m)=(v_(m))/(R)`
HENCE current is in phase with the APPLIED voltage.
By definition of power `p=i^(2)R`
i.e., `p=i_(m)^(2)Rsinomegat`
Average power, `barp=(:i^(2)R:)=(:i_(m)^(2)Rsin^(2)omegat:)`
Since, `(:sin^(2)omegat:)=(1)/(2)`
`barp=i_(m)^(2)R(:sin^(2)omegat:)`
i.e. `barp=(1)/(2)i_(m)^(2)R`

The steam temperature in a boiler is 600^@C, the pressure is 200 atm. The steam is ejected from a Laval nozzle. Find the velocity and the temperature of steam in the critical cross section. To avoid the condonsation of steam as it leaves the nozzle, its temperature should exceed 100^@C. What is the maximum speed at which the steam leaves the nozzle?

Answer»


SOLUTION :The flow velocity in the critical cross section is equal to the local velocity of sound , in the boiler the flow velocity is ZERO. Using the result of Problem 19.6, we obtain
`(a_0^2)/(gamma - 1) = (v_(cr)^2)/(2) + (v_(cr)^2)/(gamma - 1) `, where `v_(cr) = a_0 sqrt(2/(gamma + 1))`
To find the velocity of steam LEAVING the nozzle, we make use of the Barnoulli EQUATION in the form of (30.8) and obtain `v = sqrt(2c_p (T_0 - T))`.

A uniform magnetic field gets modified as shown in Fig.when two specimens X and Y are placed in it. (i) Identify the two specimens X and Y. (ii) State the reason for the behaviour of the field lines in X and Y.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Specimen X is diamagnetic but specimen Y is paramagnetic.
(ii) Individual atoms of a diamagnetic MATERIAL (say X) do not possess a permanent dipole moment of their own. The application of an external magnetic field induces in each atom a small dipole moment in the opposite direction. As a RESULT, magnetic field lines are repelled or expelled and the field INSIDE the material is reduced.
Individual atoms of a paramagnetic material possess a permanent dipole moment of their own. On ACCOUNT of continuous random thermal motion of the atoms, the net MAGNETISATION of the material is zero. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the individual atomic dipole moments tend to align in the same direction.

A prism having refractive index 1.414 and refracting angle 30^(@) has one of the refracting surfaces silvered. A beam of light incident on the other refracting surface will retrace its path, if the angle of incidence is :

Answer»

`0^(@)`
`30^(@)`
`60^(@)`
`45^(@)`

SOLUTION :(d) At second surface, there is no refraction so `
r_(2) = 0`
`THEREFORE "" r_(1) = A = 30^(@)`
From Snell.s law
`n = (sin i_(1))/(sinr_(1))`
`n = (sin i_(1))/(sin 30)`
`sin i_(1) = SQRT(2) XX (1)/(2) = (1)/(sqrt(2))`
`sin i_(1) = (1)/(sqrt(2))`
`i_(1) = 45^(@)`

What is the magnitude of the equatorial and axial fields due to a bar magnet of length 5.0 cm at a distance of 50 cm from its mid pointthe magnetic moment of the bar magnet is 0.40 A m^(2)

Answer»

`b_(eq)=3.2xx10^(-7) T`
`B_(AX)=3.2 xx10^(-7) T`
`B_(eq)=4T B_(ax)=2T`
`B_(ax)=2T B_(eq)=4T`

Solution :Magnetic length2l =5.0
`l=2.5 CM xx10^(-2) m`
`d=50 cm =0.5 and M =0.40 A m^(2)`
As `B_(equi)=(mu_(0)M)/(4pid^(3))`
`=(4pixx10^(-7)T mA^(-1)Am^(2))/(4pi(0.5m)^(3)`
`B_("equi")=3.2 xx10^(-7) T`
`B_("axial")=(mu_(0)2M)/(4pid^(3))`
`B_("net")=B_(M_(1))+B_(m_(2))+B_(H)`
`=(mu_(0))/(4pix^(3))`
=`(10)^(-7)/(10^(-3))xx2.2+3.6xx10^(-5)`
`=2.56 xx10^(-4) wb//m^(2)`

First a set of n equal resistors of R each are connected in series to a battery of emf E and internal resistance R. A current I is observed to flow. Then the n resistors are connected in parallel to the same battery. It is observed that the current is increased 10 times. What is 'n'?

Answer»

SOLUTION :When n RESISTORS of value R are connected in SERIES with cell with emf `epsilon` and internal resistance R then current .
`I = (E)/(R + nR) = (E)/(R (1 + n)) ""` .... (1)
Instead n resistor of R value are connected in parallel then current,
10 I = `(E)/(R + (R)/(n))`
`= (nE)/(R (n + 1)) "" ` ... (2)
`therefore 10 I = n ((E)/(R (n + 1) )) `
`therefore 10 I = nI "" therefore n = 10 `
