In a metal in the solid state, such as a copper wire, the atoms are strongly bound to one another and occupý fixed positions. Some electrons (called the conductor electrons) are free to move in the body of the metal while the other are strongly bound to their atoms. In good conductors, the number of free electrons is very large of the order of 10^(28) electrons per cubic metre in copper. The free electrons are in random motion and keep colliding with atoms. At room temperature, they move with velocities of the order of 10^5 m/s. These velocities are completely random and there is not net flow of charge in any directions. If a potential difference is maintained between the ends of the metal wire (by connecting it across a battery), an electric field is set up which accelerates the free electrons: These accelerated electrons frequently collide with the atoms of the conductor, as a result, they acquire a constant speed called the drift speed which is given by V_e = 1/enA where I = current in the conductor due to drifting electrons, e = charge of electron, n = number of free electrons per unit volume of the conductor and A = area of cross-section of the conductor.Choose the current statements |

(a) Using the phenomenon of polarisation, show how transverse nature of light can be demonstrated. (b) Two polaroids P_(1) and P_(2) are placed with their pass axes perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light of intensity I_(0) is incident on P_(1). A third polaroid P_(3) is kept in between P_(1) and P_(2) such that its pass axis makes an angle of 30^(@) with that of P_(1). Determine the intensity of light transmitted through P_(1), P_(2) and P_(3). |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :(a) Light from the sodium LAMP passing through the single POLAROID sheet `(P_(1))` does not show any variation in INTENSITY when this sheet is rotated. However, if the light transmitted by `P_(1)`, is made to pass through another polaraied sheet `(P_(2))`, the light intensity coming out of `P_(2)`, varies from a maximum to zero, and again to maximum, when `P_(2)` is rotated. These observations are consistent only with the transverse nature of light waves. `(b)` Intensity of light transmitted through `P_(1)=(I_(0))/(2)` Intensitiy of light transmitted through `P_(3)=((I_(0))/(2))xxcos^(2)30^(@)` `=(3I_(0))/(8)` Intensity of light transmitted through `P_(2)=P_(3)xxcos^(2)(90^(@)-30^(@))=(3)/(8)I_(0)cos^(2)60^(@)` `=(3)/(32)I_(0)` |

Describe the short history of light. |
|
Answer» Solution :The wave theory was not accepted because Newton.s authority and also because light coul travel through vacuum and a wave would alway require a medium to propagate from one poin to the other. But in 1801, Thomas Young performer interference experiment and firmly establisher that light is a wave phenomenon. Since the wavelength of the visible light is much smaller than the dimensions of typical mirro and lenses, light can be assumed to approximately travel in straight lines. The BRANCH of optics in which one completely NEGLECTS the finiteness of the wavelength is called geometrical optics. A ray is defined as the PATH of energy propagation in the limit of wavelength tending to zero. MANY EXPERIMENTS were carried out involving the interference and diffraction of light waves. These experiments be statisfactorily explained. Thus around the middle of the nineteenth century, the wave theory seemed to be very well established. |

Two H atoms in the ground state collide inelastically. The maximum amount by which their combined kinetic energy is reduced is |
|
Answer» `10.20eV` `=2E=2(-13.6)=-27.eV` `rArr` Total kinetic energy of electron in both the atoms `2K=2(-E)=-2E=-(-27.2)=27.2eV ( :. K=-E)` Now, after collision, total kinetic energy remaining with both the atoms is `(K_(1)+K_(2).)`. For this VALUE to become maximum, amount of energy EXCHANGED in the inelastic collision must be minimum. For this if electron does not do any transition in both the atoms then there will not be any decrease in total kinetic energy of two atoms. So this can not be accepted. There is another way. Suppose electron in any one atom remains in ground state only. And electron in another atom transits from n = 1 to n = 2 by absorbing minimum amount of energy so that energy exchange will TAKE place and that too with minimum amount. Here in this case total kinetic energy of both the atoms after collision will be `=K_(1).+K_(2).` `=-E_(1).+(-E_(2).)` `=-(-13.6)-(-3.4)` `( :. E_(2).=-(13.6)/(n^(2))=-(13.6)/(4)=-3.4eV)` `=13.6+3.4=17eV` Decrease in total kinetic energy of both the atoms, |

Calculate the mean lifetime of excited atoms if it is known that the intensity of the spectral line appering due to transition to the ground state diminishes by a factor eta=25 over a distance l=2.5mm along the stream of atoms whose velocity is v=600m//s. |
|
Answer» Solution :Let `T=` mean life time of the EXCITED atoms. Then the number of exicted atoms will DECREASE with time as `E^(-t//T)`. In time `t` the atom travels a distance `vt` so `t=(l)/(v)`. Thus the number of excited atoms a in a beam that has travesed a distance `l` has decreased by `e^(-l//vT)` The INTENSITY of the line is proportional to the number of excited atoms in the beam. Thus `e^(-l//vtau)=(1)/(eta) or TAU=(l)/(V i n eta)=1.29xx10^(-16)` second. |

Consider a wheatstone bridge PQRS as shown in Fig. 7.19 where current I is in the circuit of four resistances 10 ,20 ,30, and 40 Omega. Find the ratio of the heat generated in the four arms PQ,QR, PS, and SR. |
|
Answer» Solution :Given ` R_(1) = 10 omega , R_(2) = 20 Omega , R_(3) = 20 Omega , and R_(4) = 40 Omega`. Now, `(R_(1))/( R_(2)) = ( 10) / ( 20) = (1) /(2)` and `(R_(3))/(R_(4)) = ( 20) /( 40) = (1)/( 2)` ltbgt `:. (R_(1))/(R_(2)) = (R_(3))/(R_(4))` Hence , wheatstone bridge is balanced . Now as the bridge is balanced , no current will flow through arm `QS`. Let `I_(1) and I_(2)` be the currents flowing in arms `PQ and PS`. respectively. Then POTENTIAL differences across `P and Q` is equal to potential difference across `P and S`. That is , `I_(1) XX 10 = I_(2) xx 20 or I_(1) = 2I_(2)` Therefore, heat produced in arm `PQ` is `H_(1) xx I_(1)^(2) xx 10 = 40 I_(2)^(2) J` Also heat produced in arm `QR` is `H_(2)= I_(1)^(2) xx 20 = 80 I_(2)^(2) J` Similarly , heat produced in arm `PS` is `H_(3) = I_(2)^(2) xx 20 = 20 I_(2)^(2) J` And heat produced in arm `SR` is `H_(4) = I_(2)^(2) xx 40 = 40 I_(2)^(2) J` `:. H_(1) : H_(2) : H_(3) : H_(4) = 40 I_(2)^(2): 80 I_(2)^(2) : 20 I_(2)^(2) : 40 I_(2)^(2) = 2 : 4 : 1 : 2`, which is the required ratio.
