(a) State Bohr's postulateto define stableorbits in hydrogenatom. Howdoes de Broglie'shypothesis explainthe stability of these orbits ?(b) A hydrogen atom initially in the groundstate absorbs a photon whichexcites itto then n = 4 level . Estimate the frequenyof the photon.

Answer»

Solution :Bohr. s postulate for stable orbits ,states The electron , in an atom revolves around the mucleus only in those orbits for which its angular MOMENTUM is an intergal multiple
of` (h)/( 2h ) (h= `planck. s constant )
[Also accept mvr=`n.( h)/(2PI ) (n=1,2,3......) `
As per de Brogle.s hyothesis
` lambda =(h)/(p) =(h)/( mv) `
For a stable orbit we, must have circumference of the orbit `=n( n=1,2,3..........) `
` therefore 2pi r =n.mv`
or `mvr =(nh)/( 2pi) `
Thus de- Broglie showed that formation of stationary PATTERN for integral .n. gives RISE to stability of the atom . This is nothing but the Bohr.s postulate

A rod of length l is perpendicular to the lines of induction of a uniform magnetic field of induction B. The rod revolves at an angular speed omega about an axis passing through the rod's end parallel to the lines of induction. Find the voltage across the rod's ends.

Answer»


Solution :The rod moves perpendicularly to the lines of induction of the magnetic FIELD, and in a small section of it an elementary e.m.f `triangle epsi=Bv triangle x` is established, `trianglex` being the length of the section and v Its velocity (see Fig. 30, 4a). The voltage across the rod is the sum of the elementary e.m.f..s. Since `v=OMEGA r, triangle epsi=B omega x trianglex`. The result may be found by two methods:
(a) By integration. We have `triangle Psi=underset(0)overset(1)int B omega x dx=B omega [x^2/2]_(0)^l=1/2 Bwl^2`
(b) Graphically. Plot a graph of the strength of the induced field `E^*=triangleepsi //trianglex=B omega x`. Since this is a LINEAR function, its graph is of the form shown in Fig 30.4 b. The voltage is numerically equal to the AREA under the graph : `triangle Psi=(lBwl)/(2)-(Bwl^2)/2`

Draw the labelled circuit diagram of a common-emitter transistoramplifie : Explain clearly how the input and output signals are in opposite phase.

Answer»

Solution :The circuit details for using an npn transistor as common emitter amplifier are shown in the fig.

The input (base-emitter) circuit is forward biased and the output (collector-emitter) circuit is reverse biased.
When no a.c. signal is applied, the potential difference `V_(c)` between the collector and the emitter , is given by
`V_(C)=V_(CE)-I_(C)xxR_(L)` ...(i)
Where, `V_(C)` is the voltageof battery `V_(CE)`
When an a.c. signal is fed to the input circuit, the forward bias increases during the positive half cycle of the input. This results in an INCREASE in `I_(C)` and a consequent decrease in `V_(C)`, as is clear from (i). THUS during positive half cycle of the input, the collector becomes less positive.
During the negative half cycle of theinput, the forward bias is decreased resulting in a decrease in `I_(E)` and hence `I_(C)`. Therefore, from (i) `V_(C)` would increase, MAKING the collector more positive. Hence, in a common-emitter amplifier, the output voltage is `180^(@)` out of phase with the input voltage.

Light with wavelength lambda falls on a system of crossed polarizer P and analyzer A between which a Babinet compesator C is inserted (Fig.). The compensator consists of two q2uartz wedges with the optical axis of one of them being parallel to the edge, and of the other, perpendicular to it. The principal directions of the polarizer and the analyser from an angle of 45^(@) with the optical axes of the compensator. The refracting angle of the wedges is equal to Theta(Theta lt lt 1) qand the difference of refractive indices of quartz is n_(e) - n_(0). The insertion of investigated birefringent sample S, with the optical axis oriented as shown in the figure, results in displacement of the fringe upward by deltax mm. Find: the width of the fringe Deltax, (b) the magnitude and the sign of the optical path difference of ordinary and extraordianry rays, which appears due to the sample S.

Answer»

Solution :The light from `P` is plane polarized with its electric vector vibrating at `45^(@)` with the plane of the paper. At first the sample `S` is absent Light from `P` can be resolved into components vibrating in and perpendicuar to the plane of the paper. The former is the `E` ray in the left half of the Babinet components and the latter is the `O` ray. In the right half the nomenclature is the opposite. In the compenstor the two components acquire a phase difference which depends on the relative position of the ray. If the ray is incident at a distance `x` above the central line through the compensator then the `E` ray acquires a phase
`(2pi)/(lambda) (n_(E) (l - x) + n_(0) (l +x))tan Theta`
while the `O` ray acquires
`(2pi)/(lambda) (n_(0)(l - x) +n_(E) (l + x)) tan Theta`
so the phase difference between the two reays is
`(2pi)/(lambda) (n_(0) - n_(E)) 2 x tan Theta = delta`
we get dark FRINGES when ever `delta = 2k pi`
because then the emergent light is the same as that coming form the polarizer and is quenched by the analyser. {If `delta = (2k +1) pi`, we get BRIGHT fringes beacuse in this case, the plane of polarization of th emergent hight has rotated by `90^(@)` and is therefore fully transmitted by the analyser.}
If follows that the fringe width `Deltax` is given by
`Delta x = (lambda)/(2|n_(0) - n_(E)|tan Theta)`
(b) If the finges are displaced upwards by `delta x`, then the path difference intoduced by the sample between the `O` and the `E` rays must be such as to be exactly CANCELLED by the compensator. Thus
`(2pi)/(lambda) [d (N'_(0) - n'_(E)) + (n_(E) - n_(0)) 2 delta x tan Theta] = 0`
or `d(n'_(0) - n'_(E)) =- 2(n_(E) - n_(0)) delta x Theta`
usng `tan Theta_(~=) Theta`.
