An ideal gas is confined to a container whose volume is fixed. If the container holds n moles of gas, by what factor will the pressure increase if the absolute temperature is increased by a factor of 2?

Answer»

<P>`(2)/((nR))`
`2`
`2nR`
`(2)/(n)`

Solution :Because the gas is confined, n remains constant, and because we're told the volume is FIXED, V remains constant as WELL. Since R is a universal constant, the ideal gas law, PV=nRT, tells US that P and T are proportional. Therefore, if T increases by a FACTOR of 2, then so does P.

What is diffraction ? Who discovered it? What kind of diffraction phenomenon occurs in waves ?

Answer»

Solution :The phenomenon of waves around the opaque (obstacle) is called diffraction.
Accurate definition of diffraction : Diffraction is the physical effect produced by the limited part of the wavefront
Diffraction was FIRST discovered by a scientist named Grimaldy.
Diffraction phenomenon occur in sound waves, light waves, water waves or matter waves.
Diffraction depends on the wavelength of wave `lamda` and width of slit d. That is on the ratio `(lamda)/(d)`.
Due to the diffraction phenomenon that occurs SIMULTANEOUSLY in the dark and bright area NEAR the geometric shadow of opaque object
Our eyes or optical devices such as telescopes and microscope seem to have a limit on resolving power due to diffraction.
The colours appearing on the CD are actually due to the diffraction effects.
The true understanding of diffraction can only be explained by wave theory. There are TWO types of diffraction that are obtained from the waves that incident on the slit.
(i) If the spherical WAVEFRONTS incident on the slit, then the diffraction called Fresne diffraction.
(ii) If the plane wavefronts incident on the slit then the diffraction called Fraunhoffe: diffraction.

Obtain an expression for the magnetic dipole moment of a revolving electron in a hydrogen atom, and hence find the value of Bohr magneton.

Answer»

Solution :Let e represent the charge on the particle electron.
Let R be the radius of a circular path. Let the electron revolve in an anticlockwise direction. CONVENTIONAL current is taken as clockwise. So magnetic MOMENT can be visualised to be pointing inwards towards the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the orbit.
By definition, electric current
`""I="charge"/"time"`
i.e., `""I=e/T` where, T is the time period of revoulution of electron
The period of REVOLUTION of revolution of electron,
`""T="circumference"/"speed"`
`""T=(2pir)/v`
`therefore ""I=(ev)/(2pir)`
Magnetic moment associated with the orbiting electron,
`""m=1A=mu_(l),`
where, `""mu_(l)=` magnetic moment due to orbital motion.
Hence, `""mu_(l)=((ev)/(2pir))(pir^(2))`
i.e.,`""mu_(l)=(e/(2m_(e)))(m_(e)vr)""` where, angular momentum `l=m_(e)vr`
`therefore ""mu_(l)=(e/(2m_(e)))l`
The direction of `vec(mu_(l))` is opposite to the direction of angular momentum.
The expression `mu_(l)=(evr)/2` for I orbit electron is called Bohr magneton.
`mu_(l)=1.6 times 10^(-19) times 2.18 times 10^(6) times 0.53 times 10^(-10) div 2=9.24 times 10^(-24)Am^(2)`.

A pebble of mass 0.05 kg is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble. [Ignore air resistance] a) during its upward motion b) during its downward motion c) at the highest point where it is momentarily at rest. Do your answers change if the pebble was thrown at an angle of 45° with the horizontal direction?

Answer»

Solution :When a body is thrown vertically upwards (or) it moves vertically downwards, gravitational PULL of earth gives it a uniform acceleration `a = +g = +9.8 ms^(-2)`in the DOWNWARD DIRECTION. Therefore, the net force on the pebble in all the three cases is vertically downwards.
As m = 0.05 kg and `a = + 9.8 m//s^(2)`
`therefore` In all the three case, `F = ma = 0.05^(@) 9.8 = 0.49N`.
Vertically downwards.
If the pebble were thrown at an angle of 45° with the HORIZONTAL direction, it will have horizontal and vertical components of velocity. These components do not affect the force on the pebble. Hence our answers do not alter in any case. HOWEVER in each case (C), the pebble will not be at rest. It will have horizontal component of velocity at highest point.

Let y gt 0 be the region of space with a uniform and constant magnetic field B hat(k). A particle with charge and mass m travels along the y-axis and enters in magnetic field at origin with speed v_(0) in region in particle is subjected to an additional friction force vec(F)= - k vec(v). Assumethat particle remains in region y gt 0.

Answer»

`x=(kmv_(0))/(k^(2)+(qB)^(2))`
`x=(qBmv_(0))/(k^(2)+(qB)^(2))`
`y=(kmv_(0))/(k^(2)+(qB)^(2))`
`y=(qBmv_(0))/(k^(2)+(qB)^(2))`

Solution :`vec(F) = ma = -k (v_(x) HAT(i) + v_(y) hat(j)) + Q (v_(x)hat(i) + v_(y) hat(j)) xx B hat(k)`
`ma_(x) = -kv_(x) + qv_(y) B`
`ma_(y) = -kv_(y) - qv_(x)B`
At `t = 0, v_(x) = 0" " v_(y) = v_(0) "" x = 0 "" y = 0`
finally `v_(x) = 0 "" v_(x) = 0 "" x = x_(1) "" y = y_(1)`
`m_(x)o = -kx_(1) - qx_(1) B`
`rArrx_(1) = (qBmv_(0))/(k^(2) + (qB)^(2)) rArr y_(1) = (kmv_(0))/(k^(2) + (qB)^(2))`

Using Huygen's principle construct a refracted wavefront when a plane wavefront is incident on plane surface from an optically denser meidum side. Using this figure, obtain the condition of critical angle and total internal reflection.

Answer»

Solution :When a plane wavefront AB TRAVELLING in an optically DENSER MEDIUM of refractive index `n_(1)` with a speed `c_(1)` is incident on the SURFACE of a rarer medium at an angle of incidence `i`, then the wavelets spread in the rarer medium of refractive index `n_(2)`. (where `n_(2)ltn_(1)`) with a speed `c_(2)` (where `c_(2)gtc_(1)`). Thus, a refracted wavefront CD is formed as shown in figure. As `c_(2) gt c_(1)`, hence obviously the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence (i.e., `rgti`). However, Snell.s law holds good, according to which
`(sini)/(sinr)=(n_(2))/(n_(1))=(c_(1))/(c_(2))`
Condition for critical angle: As angle `i` increases, value of angle r also increases. if for a certain value of `i=i_(c)`, the angle of refraction just becomes `90^(@)`, then
`(sini_(c))/(sin90^(@))=(n_(2))/(n_(1))=(c_(2))/(c_(1)) or sini_(c)=(n_(2))/(n_(1))=(c_(1))/(c_(2))=(1)/(n_(12))`
This angle `i_(c)` is called the critical angle.
Condition for total internal reflection: If angle of incidence `igti_(c)`, then it is not possible to find refracted wavefront. in such a case no refraction takes place and whole wavefront is totally reflected back into the denser medium. it is known as the phenomenon of total internal reflection.
