A parallel stream of monoenergetic electrons falls normally on a diaphragm with narrow square slit of width b=1.0 mu m. Find the velocity of the electrons if the width of the central diffraction maximum formed on a screen located at a distance l= 50cm from the slit is equal to Delta x= 0.36mm.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The first MINIMUM in a Fraunhofer diffraction is given by (`B` is the width of the slit) `b sin theta= lambda`
Here `sin theta=(Deltax//2)/(sqrtl^(2)+((Deltax)/(2))^(2))~~(Deltax)/(2l)`
Thus `lambda=(bDeltax)/(2l)=(2pi ħ)/(mv)`
so `V=(4pi ħl)/(mbDeltax)=2.02xx10^(6)m//s`

Consider a region inside which there are various types of charges but the total charge is zero. At points outside the region

Answer»

the electric field is necessarily zero.
the electric field is due to the DIPOLE moment of the charge DISTRIBUTION only.
the dominant electric field is`prop 1/r^(3)`for LARGE r, where r is the distance from a ORIGIN in this region.
the work done to move a charged particle along a closed path, away from the region, will be zero.

Solution :When the sum of different charges in any area is zero, then some amount of electric dipole can be IMAGINED.
Hence, electric field at point at large distance routside this area varies according to `prop 1/r^(3)`.
Also, electric field is conservative. Work done by charge moving in closed loop away from this area is zero.

Does the principle of conservation of energy hold for interference and diffraction phenomena ? Explain briefly.

Answer»

Solution :Yes, law of conservation energy is obeyed. In CASE of constructive interference, intensity BECOMES maximum. Hence bright fringes are formed on the screen where as in the case of destructive interference, intensity becomes minimum. Hence dark fringes are formed on the screen. This establishes that in the interference and DIFFRACTION pattern, the intensity of light is SIMPLY being redistributed i.e., energy is being transferred from dark fringe to bright fringe. No energy is being created (or) destroyed in the process. Hence energy is redistributed.
THUS the principle of conservation of energy is being obeyed in the process of interference and diffraction.

A car is traveling in a straight line along a highway at a speed of 20 m//s. The driver steps on the gas pedal, and 3 seconds later, the car's speed is 32 m//s. Find its average acceleration.

Answer»

Solution :Assuming that the DIRECTION of the velocity doesn't change, its's simply a matter of dividing the change in velocity `(32 m//s- 20 m//s= 12 m//s)` by the time INTERVAL during which the change OCCURRED : `overline(a)= Delta v // Delta t = (12 m//s) // (3 s)= 4 m//s^(2)`.

A spherical rain drop, falling in a constant gravitational field, grows by absorption of moisture from the surroundings at a rate proportional to its surface area. If it starts with zero radius, find its acceleration.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`(dm)/(dt) = K.4pir^(2)`
Where K is a constant and .r. is the radius of the DROP at any instant .
But ` m=(4)/(m) PIR^(3) RHO=(4)/(3) pi r^(3)`
since ` rho`= density of water is 1 gram/c.c
`(dm)/(dt) =(4)/(3) pi. 3R^(2) (dr)/(dt) = 4pir^(2) (dr)/(dt) = K. 4 pir^(3)"":. K=(dr)/(dt)`
`:. ` r=Kt ( since it starts with zero radius )
Since ` m(dv)/(dt) + v(dm)/(dt) = mg `
`(4)/(3) pir^(3) (dv)/(dt) + v.k 4pir^(2)=(4)/(3) pir^(2) g , (dv)/(dt) + vK(3)/(r) =g `
But `(dv)/(dt) =a , v = at `
`:. a + at. K. (3)/(Kt) =g ` becomes `4a=g,a =` acceleration of drop =g/4

Kinetic energy remaining the same, which of the two have greater de-Broglie wavelength proton or electron ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :For photon
`K.E., E_(p) =1/2m_(p).v_(p)^(2)` so `m_(p)v_(p) =SQRT(2m_(p)E)`…..(i)
For electron
K.E. `E_(e) =1/2m_(e)v_(e)^(2)`, So `m_(e)v_(e)=sqrt(2m_(e)E)`……(II)
So the ratio of de-Broglie wavelength of protons and ELECTRONS is
`lambda_(p)/lambda_(e) =h/(m_(p)v_(p)) xx (m_(e) v_(e))/h = (m_(e) v_(e))/(m_(p)v_(p))`
Using EQ. (i) & (ii), we get
`lambda_(p)/lambda_(e) =sqrt((2m_(e)E)/(2m_(p)E)) = sqrt(m_(e)/m_(p)) lt 1`
`lambda_(p) lt lambda_(e)`
or `lambda_(e) gt lambda_(p)`
.e. de-Broglie wavelength associated with electron is more than that of proton.

Solution :`I_(MAX)=(SQRT(I_(1))+sqrt(I_(2)))^(2)=(sqrt(4I)+sqrt(I))^(2)=9I`
`I_(max) = (sqrt(I_(1))-sqrt(I_(2)))^(2)=(sqrt(4I)-sqrt(I))^(2)=I`

II. Here, `theta=90^(@)-30^(@)=60^(@)`
`phi=0.3xx6xx10^(-2)xxcos60^(@)`
`phi=0.9xx10^(-2)Wb`
iii. Here, `theta=90^(@)-0^(@)=90^(@)`
`phi=0.3xx6xx10^(-2)xxcos90^(@)`
`phi=0^(@)`

In the circuit shown in the given figure, the resistances R_(1) and R_(2) are respectively

Answer»

`14Omega and 40Omega`
`40Omega and 44Omega`
`40Omega and 30Omega`
`14Omega and 30Omega`

Solution :Potential difference ACROSS `20Omega=20xx1=20V ="potential difference across" R_(2).`
Current in `R_(2)=0.5A`
`THEREFORE R_(2)=(20V)/(0.5A)=40Omega=40Omega`
Potential difference across `R_(1)=69V-20V=49V`
Current in `R_(1)=0.5A+(20)/(10)+1A=3.5A`
`therefore R_(1)=(49)/(3.5)=14Omega`

Solution :Neutron SEPARATION energy `S_n` of a nucleus `""_Z^AX` is given by
`S_n = {m_N(""_Z^(A-1)X) + m_n - m_N(""_Z^AX)}c^2`
`=[{m_N(""_Z^(A-1)X) + Zm_e} - m_n - {m_N(""Z^AX) + Zm_c}]c^2`

The thickness of a glass slab is 0.25 m. It has a refractive index of 1.5 A ray of light is incident on the surface of the slab at an angle of 60^(@). Find the lateral displacement of the light when it emerges from the other side of the mirror.

Answer»

Solution :Give: thickness of the lab, (t) =0.25 m, REFRACTIVE index, (n) =1.5 angle of INCIDENCE (i) = `60^(@)`.
Using Snell.s law, `1 xx sin I = n sin R`
`sin r = (sin r)/(n) = (sin 60)/(1.5) = 0.58`
`r = sin^(-1)(0.58) = 35,256(@)`

Estimate the average drift speed of conduction electrons in a copper wire of cross-sectional area 1.0 xx 10^(-7) m^(2) carrying a current of 1.5 A. Assume that each copper atom contributes roughly one conduction electron. The density of copper is 9.0 xx 10^(3) kg//m^(3) and its atomic mass is 63.5 u.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) The direction of drift velocity of conduction electrons is opposite to the electric field direction, i.e., electrons drift in the direction of increasing potential. The drift speed `u _(d)` is given by `u _(d) =(l//n eA)`
No, `e = 1.6 xx 10 ^(-19) C, A = 1.0 xx 10^(-7) m ^(2).I = 1. 5 A.` THe density of conduction electrons, n is equal to the number of atoms per cubic meter (assuming one conduction enectron per Cu atom as is reasonable from its valence electron count of one). A cubic metre of copper has a mass of `9.0 xx 10 ^(3)Kg.` Since `6.0xx 10^(23)` copper atoms have a mass of `63.5g.`
`n = (6.0 xx 10 ^(23))/(63.5) xx 9.0 xx 10 ^(6)`
` = 8.5 xx 10 ^(28) m^(-3)`
which gives,
`u _(d) = ( 1.5)/(8.5 xx 10 ^(28) xx.16 xx 10 ^(-19) xx 1.0 xx 10 ^(-7))`
`=1.1 xx 10 ^(-3) ms ^(-2) =1.1 mm s ^(-1)`
(b) (1) At a temperature T.the thermal speed of a copper atom of mass M is obyained from` [ lt (1//2) Mv ^(2)gt = (3//2) K _(B) T]` and is THUS typically of the order of `sqrt (k_(B) T//M).` where `k _(B)` is the Boltzmann constant. For copper at 300 K. this is about `2 xx 10 ^(2)` m/s. This FIGURE indicates the random vibrattonal speeds of copper atoms in a conductor. Note that the drift speed of electrons is much smaller, about `10 ^(-5)` times the tpyical thermal speed at ORDINARY temperatures.
(i) An electric field travelling along the conductor has a speed of an electronagetic wave, namely equal to `3.0 xx 10 ^(8) m s ^(-1)`The drift speed is, in comparison, extremely small, smaller by a factor of `10 ^(-11).`
