Draw a schematic arrangement of Geiger-Marsden experiment showing the scattering of C-particles by a thin foil of gold. Why is it that most of the O-particles go right through the foil and only a small fraction gets scattered at large angles ?

Answer»

Solution :A schematic arrangement of the Geiger-Marsden EXPERIMENT is shown in Fig. 12.11.
In their experiment it was OBSERVED that most of the alpha-particles pass through the gold foil without any appreciable deflection. Some a particles are scattered through different angles and a very small number of particles suffers large angle scattering of about `180^(@)`
Large angle scattering can be EXPLAINED if we consider the entire positive CHARGE and almostwhole mass of gold foil atom to be concentrated in a tiny central core of the atom. When an `alpha`-particle with kinetic energy K approaches the gold nucleus DIRECTLY along itscentral line it slows down, as it approaches the a-particles gold nucleus, due to coulombian repulsion force between nucleus and `alpha`-particle. The `alpha` -particle can come up to a certain minimumdistance is calledthe distanceof closed approach . Obviously valueof distanceof closest approach provides the upperlimit onthe size of thenucleus .

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kgm^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tiedto a pan containing a mass of 90 kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at thisend have negligible amplitude. At t=0, the leftend ( fork end )of the string x=0 has zero transverse displacement ( y = 0 ) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm.Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave on the string.

Answer»

Solution :Here , `mu= 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg//m,v = 256Hz, T = 50 kg= 90 xx 9.8 = 882 N`.
Amplitudeof wave, r= 5.01m = 0.05m .
As the wave propagation along the string isa transverse travelling wave, the velocity of the wave is given by
`v= sqrt((T)/(mu)) = sqrt((882)/( 8.0 xx 10^(-3))) = 3.32 xx 10^(2)m//s `
`omega = 2piv =2 xx(22)/(7) xx 256= 1.61 xx10^(3 ) rad//s`
`lambda =(v)/(v) = ( 3.32 xx10^(2))/(256) m`.
Propagation constant `k = ( 2pi)/( lambda)`
`= ( 2 xx 3.142 xx 256)/( 332 xx 10^(2)) = 4.84m^(-1)`
As the wave is propagating along x direction, the equation of the wave is`y ( x,t) = r sin ( omega t - kx) `
`=0.05 sin ( 1.61 xx 10^(3) t- 4.84x)`
Here x,yare in mt & t in SEC.

Answer the following questions : (a) The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification ? (b) In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one's eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back ? (c) Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and smaller focal length and achieving greater and greater magnifying power ? (d) Why must both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal lengths ? (e) When viewing through a compound microscope, our eyes should be positioned not on the eyepiece but a short distance away from it for best viewing. Why ? How much should be that short distance between the eye and eyepiece ?

Answer»

Solution : (a) Although the actual angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass is exactly same as the angle subtended by the object, EVEN then we say that the magnifying glass produces angular magnification. It is on account of the fact that if the object is seen directly without using magnifying glass, it must have been put at near point (25 cm) of eye and angle subtended by the object must have been less. However, with magnifying glass, the object is placed at a shorter distance from the eye and subtends a greater angle at the eye. THUS, EFFECTIVELY angular magnification has been achieved.
(b) Yes, the angular magnification slightly decreases if the viewer moves his eye away from the magnifying glass. It is due to this reason that we keep our eye very very close to magnifying glass.
(c) We cannot produce a convex lens of extremely short wavelength because grinding of such a lens is extremely difficult. Moreover, with decrease in focal length, the lens becomes more and more thick at the middle and it results in increase in spherical and CHROMATIC aberrations. This, puts a upper limit on magnifying power of a simple microscope.
(d) The magnifying power of a compound microscope may be expressed as :
`m=-L/f_(0) (1+ D/f_(0))`,when the final image is formed at near point of eye. where L is the length of microscope tube. From the relation, it is clear that for higher magnifying power the focal lengths of both the objective and eyepiece should be as small as possible. (E) The image of the objective lens formed by the eyepiece of microscope is called .eye-ring.. All the rays from the object, after being refracted from the objective lens pass through it. The eye would receive all the rays from object, if it is placed at the position of the eye-ring, provided the area of the pupil of the eye is greater than or at least equal to the area of the eye-ring. In case, eye is placed very close to the eyepiece, then it would not be able to collect all the rays from the object. Moreover, the field of view will be reduced.

Derive formula for fringe width using Young's double slit method for interference of light. What will happen if the distance between the two slits becomes nearly zero ?

Answer»

<P>

Solution :Fringe Width. It is the distance between any two successive fringes in interference pattern.
Let `S_(1), S_(2)` be the two fine slits illuminated by a monochromatic sources of wavelength `lambda`.
Intensity of light at any point P on the screen at a distance D from the slit depends upon the path difference between `S_(2)P` and `S_(1)P`.

From `S_(1)` draw `S_(1)A` perpendicular to `S_(2)P`. Since `/_S_(2)S_(1)A to theta` [D is very LARGE as compared to d], therefore, `/_S_(1)AS_(2) to 90^(@)` and `AP ~~ S_(1)P`.
`:. "Path difference" = S_(2)P-S_(1)P = (S_(2)A + AP) - S_(1)P` or `"Path difference" = S_(2)A = d sin theta`
Since `theta` is very small, `sin theta` can be replaced by `tan theta` .
`:. "Path difference" = d tan theta = d(y)/(D)`
Constructive interference [Bright Fringes). For bright fringes, the path difference should be equal to an even multiple of`lambda // 2`.
`:. (DY)/(D)=2n(lambda)/(2)=n lambda`
or `y=n(lambda D)/(d)`
If n = 0, `y_(0)=0`, which is the POSITION of central maxima.
If n = 1, `y_(1)=(D)/(d)lambda`, which is the position of first maxima.
If n = 2, `y_(2)=(2D)/(d)lambda`, which is the position of
Similarly `y_(n-1)=(n-1)(D)/(d)lambda`
and `y_(n)=n(D)/(d)lambda`
Fringe width `beta=y_(n)-y(n-1)=(D)/(d)lambda[n-(n-1)]`
`beta=(D)/(d)lambda` ...(i)
Destructive interference [Dark Fringes]. For dark fringes, the path difference should be an old multiple of `1 // 2`.
`(d)/(D)y=(2n-1)(lambda)/(2)`
or `y=(D)/(d)(2n-1)(lambda)/(2)`
If n = 1, `y_(1)=(D)/(d)(lambda)/(2)`, which is the position of 1st minima.
If n = 2, `y_(1)=(D)/(d)(2lambda)/(2)`, which is the position of 2nd minima.
If n = 3, `y_(1)=(D)/(d)(3lambda)/(2)`, which is the position of 3rd minima.
`:.` Fringe width, `beta=y_(3)-y_(2)=(D)/(d)lambda`
or `beta=(D)/(d)lambda` ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we CONCLUDE that bright and dark fringes have equal fringe width.
`beta prop D`
`prop lambda`
`prop (1)/(d)`
If d = 0, `beta= infty` i.e. dark and bright bands will be infinitely well spaced and there will be uniform illumination.

`:. 2 theta=(2lambda)/(d)` [ for SMALL angle `sin theta- theta`]
In this forumula if d is CONSTANT than `theta prop lambda`
`:. (theta_(2))/(theta_(1))=(lambda_(2))/(lambda_(1))`
`theta_(2)=theta_(1)+10% theta_(1)`
`=1.1 theta_(1)`
`:.(theta_(2))/(theta_(1))=(lambda_(2))/(lambda_(1))`
`:. (1. theta_(1))/(theta_(1))=(lambda_(2))/(5890Å)`
`:. lambda_(2)=6479Å`
`:.` Increase in wavelength `=lambda_(2)-labda_(1)`
`=6479-5890`
`=589Å`

Lead-199 has a half-life of 1.5 hours. If a researcher begins with 2 grams of lead-199, how much will remain after 6 hours?

Answer»

0.125 grams
0.25 grams
0.375 grams
0.5 grams

Solution :Because each half-life is 1.5 HOURS, a time internval of 6 hours is EQUAL to 4 half-lives. After each half-life elapses, the MASS of the sample is cut in half, so after 4 half-lives, the mass of the sample decreases from 2 grams to 1gram to 0.5 grams to 0.25 grams and , FINALLY to 0.125 grams.

Using the diagram from the previous example, assurme that m=2 kg, M= 10 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the small block and the tabletop is 0.5. What is the acceleration of the blocks ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Once again, draw a free-body diagram for each object. Notice that the only difference between these diagrams and the ones in the previous EXAMPLE is the INCLUSION of friction, `F_(f)` that acrs on the block on the table.

As before, we have TWO equations that contain two unknowns `(a and F_(T))`.
`F_(T)-F_(f)= ma(1)`
`Mg- F_(T)=Ma(2)`
We add the equations (thereby eliminating `F_(T))` and solve for a. Notice that, by DEFINITION, `F_(f)= mu F_(N)` and from the free body diagram for m, we see that `F_(N)= mg`, so `F_(f)= mu mg` :
`Mg-F_(f)= ma+Ma`
`Mg- mu mg= a(m+M)`
`(M-mu m)/(m+M) g= a`
Or, using our shorter method :

Substituting in the numberical values given for m, M, and `mu_(k)`, we find that `a= (3)/(4)g` ( or `7.5 m//s^(2))`.

Anelectron falls throgh a distance of 1.5 cm in a uniform electric field of magnitude2.0 xx10^(4) N c^(-1)the direction of the fieldis reversed keeping its magnitude unchangedandaproton falls throughthe same distance computethe time of falls in each case contrastthe situation with that of free fall under gravity

Answer»

Solution :The field is upward so the negatively charged the magnitude of the electricof the ELECTRON is`a_(e )=eE//m_(e )`
where `m_(e )` is the mas of the electron
distanceh is given by `t_(e )=sqrt(2h)/(a_(e ))=sqrt(2hm_(e ))/(e E)`
For e=`1.6 xx10^(-19) C, m_(e )=9.11 xx10^(-31)` kg
`t_(e )=2.9n xx10^(-9)` S
where `m_(p)` is the mass of the proton `m_(p)=1.67 xx10^(-27)` kg the time of fall for the proton is
`t_(p)=sqrt(2h)/(a_(p))=sqrt(2hm_(p))/(eE)=1.3 xx10^(-7)` S
`a_(p)=(eE)/(m_(p))`
`=1.9xx10^(12) ms^(-2)`
which is enormous compared to the value of g (9.8 `ms^(-2)`)the acceleration DUE to GRAVITY thethus the effect of acceleration due to gravity can be ignored in this example

(a) Define mutual inductance and write its SI units. (b) Derive an expression for the mutual inductance of two long co-axial solenoids of same length wound one over the other. (c) In an experiment, two coils C_(1) and C_(2) are placed close to each other. Find out the expression for the emf induced in the coil C_(1) due to a change in the current through the coil C_(2).

Answer»

Solution :For part (a) and part (b), see Short Answer Question Number 50.
(c) Let CURRENT in coil `C_(2)` be changing at a rate `(dI_(2))/dt`. As a result of it magnetic flux linked with coil `C_(2)` and CONSEQUENTLY the coil `C_(1)` CHANGES. If the coils are placed close to each other then magnetic flux PER turn of both coils will be same and hence INDUCED emf `varepsilon_(1)` in coil `C_(1)` will be given as:
`varepsilon_(1) = -M (dI_(2))/dt`,
where M = Mutual inductance of the given pair of coils. The -ve sign indicates the direction of induced emf.

A radio can tune over the frequency range of a portion of MW broadcast band : (800 kHz to 1200 kHz). If its LCcircuit has an effective inductance of 200 mu H, what must be the range of its variable capacitor ?

Answer»

Solution :`V=(1)/(2pi) sqrt((1)/(LC)), i.e., C=(1)/(4pi^(2)v^(2)L)`
For `L=200muH, v=1200kHz, C=87.9pF`.
For `L=200muH, v=800kHz, C=197.8pF`.
The variable capacitor should have a RANGE of about 88 pF to 198 pF.
