The mean path length of alpha-particles in air under standard conditions is defined by the formula R=0.98.10^(27)v_(0)^(3) cm, this formula, find for an alpha-particle with initial kinetic enrgy 7.0 MeV: (a) its mean path length, (b) the average number of ion pairs formed by the given alpha-particle over the whole path R as well as over its first half, assuning the ion pair formation energy to be equql to 34 eV.

Answer»

Solution :(a) For an ALPHA particle with initial `K.E 7.0 MeV`, the initial VELOCITY is
`V_(0)=sqrt((2T)/(M alpha))`
`=sqrt(2xx7xx1.602xx10^(-6))/(4xx1.672xx10^(-24))`
`= 1.83xx10^(9)cm//sec` Thus `R=6.02 cm`
(b) Over the whole path the number of ion PAIRS is
`(7xx10^(6))/(34)= 2.06xx10^(5)`
Over the first half of the path:- We write the formula for the mean path as `R alphaE^(3//2)` where `E` is the initial energy. Thus if the energy of the `alpha` particle after traversing the first half of the path is `E_(1)` then
`R_(0)E_(1)^(3//2)=(1)/(2)R_(0)E_(0)^(3//2) or E_(1)= 2^(-2//3)E_(0)`
Hence number of ion pairs formed in the first half of the path LENGTH is
`(E_(0)-E_(1))/(34eV)=(1-2^(-2//3))xx2.06xx10^(5)= 0.76xx10^(5)`

Derive an expression for the escape speed of a body from the surface of the Earth. Express it in terms of the mean density of the Earth.

Answer»

Solution :For projection speed EQUAL to the escape speed `(v_(E))`, the kinetic energy of the body equals the binding energy.
`therefore (1)/(2) mv_(e)^(2) = (GMM)/(R )`
where m is the mass of the body, G is the gravitational CONSTANT, M is the mass of the Earth and R is the radius of the Earth.
`therefore v_(e)=sqrt((2GM)/(R ))`
The mean density of the Earth, `rho = ("mass")/("volume") = (M)/((4)/(3)piR^(3))`
`therefore M = (4)/(3) pi R^(3) rho`
`thereforev_(e)=sqrt((2G)/(R)xx(4)/(3)piR^(3)rho)=2Rsqrt((2piGrho)/(3))`

Explain the mutual induction between two long solenoids. Obtain an expression for the mutual inductance.

Answer»

Solution :i. `S_(1)andS_(2)` are TWO LONG solenoids each length l. The solenoid `S_(2)` is wound closely over the solenoid `S_(1).`
ii. `N_(1)andN_(2)` are the number of turns in the solenoids `S_(1)andS_(2)` respectively. Both the solenoids are considered to have the same area of cross section A as they are closely wound together.

iii. `I_(1)` is the current flowing through the solenoid `S_(1).` The magnetic field `B_(1)` PRODUCED at any point inside the solenoid `S_(1)` due to the current `I_(1)` is
`B_(1)=mu_(0)(N_(l))/(l)I_(1)""......(1)`
iv. The magnetic flux linked with each turn of `S_(2)` is EQUAL to `B_(1)A.`
Total magnetic flux linked with solenoid `S_(2)` having `N_(2)` turns is
`phi=B_(1)AN_(2)`
Substituting for `B_(1)` from equation (1)
`phi_(2)=(mu_(0)N_(1)N_(2)AI_(1))/(l)""....(2)`
But, `phi_(2)=MI_(1)"".......(3)`
where M is the coefficient of mutual induction between `S_(1)andS_(2).`
From equtions (2) and (3),
`ML_(1)=(mu_(0)N_(1)N_(2)AI_(1))/(l),M=(muN_(1)N_(2)A)/(l)`
v. If the core is filled with a magnetice material of permeabilty `mu,`
`M=(muN_(1)N_(2)A)/(l)`
