A researcher studying the properties of ions in the upper atmosphere wishes to construct an apparatus with the following charateristics: Using an electric field, a beam of ions, each having charge q, mass m , and initial velocity vhati, is turned through an angle of 90^@ as each ion undergoes displacement Rhati + Rhatj. The ions enter a chamber as shown in figure and leave through the exit port with the same speed they had when they entered the chamber. The electric field acting on the ions is to have constant magnitude. Suppose the electric field is produced by two concentric cylindrical electrodes not shown in the diagram, and hence is radial. What magnitude should the field have?

Answer»

`(mv)^2/(2qR)` centered at A
`(mv^2)/(2qR)` centered at O
`(mv^2)/(qR)` centered at A
`(mv)^2/(qR) `centered at O

Solution :Concentric cylindrical electrodes will PRODUCE radial electric field. As ion is entering at O and LEAVING at B, hence the path followed by ion should be circular and centrered at A. Required centripetal force should be provided by force on the ion due to electric field. Hence
`qE=(mv^(2))/(R)` or `E=(mv^(2))/(qR)`
As final velocity along x-axis BECOMES zero and finally the ions starts moving towards y direction the electric field should have component towards x-and y-directions, respectively. for x-component of electric field (using `v_(x)^(2)=u_(x)^(2)+2a_(x)trianglex)`
`0=v^(2)-2((qE_(x))/(m))R` or `E_(x)=(mv^(2))/(2qR)`
for y-component of electric field (again using `v_(y)^(2)=u_(y)^(2)+2atriangley)`
`v^(2)=0+2((qE_(y))/(m))R` or `E_(y)=(mv^(2))/(2qR)` ltbr. Hence net electric field is
`vecE=-(mv^(2))/(2qR)HATI+(mv^(2))/(2qR)hatj=(mv^(2))/(2qR)(-hati+hatj)`

A researcher studying the properties of ions in the upper atmosphere wishes to construct an apparatus with the following charateristics: Using an electric field, a beam of ions, each having charge q, mass m , and initial velocity vhati, is turned through an angle of 90^@ as each ion undergoes displacement Rhati + Rhatj. The ions enter a chamber as shown in figure and leave through the exit port with the same speed they had when they entered the chamber. The electric field acting on the ions is to have constant magnitude. If the field is produced by two flat plates and is uniform in direction, what value should the field have in this case?

Answer»

`(mv^2)/(2QR) (hati+hatj)`
`(mv^2)/(2qR) (-hati+hatj)`
`(2mv^2)/(qR) (hati+hatj)`
`(2mv^2)/(qR) (-hati+hatj)`

Solution :Concentric CYLINDRICAL electrodes will produce radial electric field. As ion is entering at O and leaving at B, hence the path followed by ion should be circular and centrered at A. Required centripetal force should be PROVIDED by force on the ion due to electric field. Hence
`qE=(mv^(2))/(R)` or `E=(mv^(2))/(qR)`
As final velocity along x-axis becomes zero and finally the ions STARTS moving towards y direction the electric field should have component towards x-and y-directions, respectively. for x-component of electric field (using `v_(x)^(2)=u_(x)^(2)+2a_(x)trianglex)`
`0=V^(2)-2((qE_(x))/(m))R` or `E_(x)=(mv^(2))/(2qR)`
for y-component of electric field (again using `v_(y)^(2)=u_(y)^(2)+2atriangley)`
`v^(2)=0+2((qE_(y))/(m))R` or `E_(y)=(mv^(2))/(2qR)` ltbr. Hence net electric field is
`vecE=-(mv^(2))/(2qR)hati+(mv^(2))/(2qR)hatj=(mv^(2))/(2qR)(-hati+hatj)`

Why can't we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another slab of 1-type semiconductor to get p-n junction ?

Answer»

Solution :A slab of p-type or n-type semiconductor, howsoever FLAT, will have roughness much larger than the interatomic crystal SPACING. Hence, on joining p- and n-type slabs continuous contact at the atomic level is not possible and the TWO will notjoin together. In fact the junction will BEHAVE as a disconti- nuity.

SOLUTION :The frequencies of the light emitted by a particular element WOULD exhibit some regular pattern. Hydrogen is the simplest atom, the frequency (wavelength) of lines of emitted radiation ADJUSTING progressively then spectrum is obtained and hydrogen has the simplest spectrum.
A specific set of lines can be formed according to their frequency or wavelength of lines obtained in the atom.s spectrum and such a group is called the spectral series.
The lines in some of the hydrogen spectrum sets are SHOWN in the figure.

The spacing between lines within CERTAIN sets of the hydrogen spectrum decreases in a regular way.
Each of these sets is called a spectral series.

Obtain equation of electric energy of a single charge .

Answer»

Solution :The external ELECTRIC field `vecE` and the corresponding external POTENTIAL V may vary from point to point.
According to definition of electric potential V at a point P is the WORK done in BRINGING a unit positive charge from infinity to the point P (We assume the potential at infinity to be zero.)
Thus, work done in bringing a charge q from infinity to the point P in the external field is W =qV.
This work is stored in the form of potential energy of q ,
`:. U =qV`
If the point P has position vector `vecr` relative to ORIGIN, then potential energy at point P
`U(vecr)=qV(vecr)`
Means potential energy in an external field = electric charge `xx` electric potential in external field.

A sound wave travels from air to water. The angle of incidence is alpha_1, and the angle of reflection is alpha_2. If the Snell.s law is valid, then ......

Answer»

`alpha_1 = alpha_2`
`alpha_1 GT alpha_2`
`alpha_1 lt alpha_2`
None of these

Solution :ANGLE of INCIDENT i = `alpha_1`
Angle of reflection r = `alpha_2`
Here Snell.s LAW will be obeyed.
`therefore n_A sin alpha_1=n_w sin alpha_2`
`therefore (sinalpha_1)/(sin alpha_2)=(n_w)/(n_A)`….......(1)
Now `(n_w)/(n_A)=(C//v_w)/(C//v_A)=(v_w)/(v_A) lt 1`
`v_A lt v_w` .......(2)
(The velocity of sound in WATER is more than th velocity of sound in air)
From equation (1) and (2),
`(sin alpha_1)/(sin alpha_2) lt 1 = sin alpha_1 lt sin alpha_2`
`therefore alpha_1 lt alpha_2` (sin function is increasing function)

In the given figure, the radius of curvature of curved surface for both the plano-convex and plano-concave lens is 10 cm and refractiveindex for both is 1.5. The location of the final image after all the refractions through lenses is

Answer»

15 CM
20 cm
25 cm
40 cm

Solution :The focal length of the plano-convex lens is
`1/f = (1.5-1)(1/(+10)- (1)/(oo)) = 1/20`
Focal length of plano-concave lens is
`1/f =(1.5-1) (1/oo - 1/10) = (-1)/(20)`
SINCE parallel beams are incident on the lens, its image from plano-concave lens will be formed at `+20` cm from it (at the FORCUS) and will act as an object for the plano-concave lens. Since the two lens are at a distance of `10 cm` fromeach other, therefore, cor the next lens`u= +10cm`.
`:.V = (uf)/(u+f) = (10 xx 20)/(10 - 20) = 20 cm`

Maxwell from his studies concluded that an electric field and a magnetic field changing with time in a direction perpendicular to each other produce a diusturbance which propagets in a direction perpendicular to both the fields. This disturbance is called electromagnetic wave. The em wave is of transverse nature. The velocity of em wave in vacuum is c=1/(sqrtmu_0in_0) where mu_0= magnetic permiability of free space and in_0 =electric permittivity of free space. The wavelength of e.m. wave varies over a wide range from 10^(-14) to 10^3m. The em wave of different wavelengths travel with same speed in vacuum but move with different speeds in any medium. (i) What are the various e.m wave invisible to eye whose wavelength is lower than the smallestwavelength of visible light? (ii) How do you conclude that white lighttravels in vacuume with a speed 3xx10^8ms^-1? (iii) What do you learn from the above study?

Answer»

Solution :(i) The invisible e.m. WAVE whose wavelength is LESS than the smallest wavelength of VISIBLE
light are ultraviolet radiations, x-rays and `gamma`-rays.
(II) The white light is an e.m. wave. The speed of e.m. wave in vacuum is given by
`c=1/(sqrtmu_0in_0)`, where mu_0 =4pixx10^-7TmA^-1 and in_0=1/(4pixx9xx10^9)C^2N^-1m^-2`
`:. c=1/(sqrt((4pixx10^-7) 1/((4pixx9xx10^9))))=3xx10^8ms^-1`
(iii) From the above study, we find that nature/God that created all human beings alike. When they are exposed
to DIFFERENT environments of the world and family, their thinking/views/speeds become different. God
wants us to live in peace treating everyone as equal.
