A photon collides with a stationary hydrogen atom in ground state inelastically. Energy of the colliding photon is 10.2 eV. After a time interval of the order of micro second another photon collides with same hydrogen atom inelastically with an energy of 15eV. What wil be observed by the detector? (a) 2 photons of energy 10.2 eV (b) 2 photons of energy 1.4 eV (c ) One photon of energy 10.2 eV and an electron of energy 1.4 eV (d) One photon of energy 10.2 eV and another photon of energy 1.4 eVA. `2` photon of energy `10.2 eV`B. `2` photon of energy `1.4 eV`C. One photon of energy `10.2 eV` and an electron of energy `1.4 eV`D. One photon of energy `10.2 eV` and another photon of energy `1.4 eV`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The first photon will excite the hydrogen atom (in ground state) in first excited state (as `E_(2)-E_(1)=10.2 eV`). Hence during de-excitation a photon of `10.2 eV` will be released. The second photon of energy 15 eV can ionise the atom. Hence the balance energy i.e., `(15-13.6)eV=1.4 eV` is retained by the electron. therefore, by the second photon an electron of energy `1.4 eV` willl be released.

An electron collides with a fixed hydrogen atom in its ground state. Hydrogen atom gets excited and the colliding electron loses all its kinetic energy. Consequently the hydrogen atom may emit a photon corresponding to the largest wavelength of the Balmer series. The K.E. of colliding electron will beA. `10.2 eV`B. `1.9 eV`C. `12.1 eV`D. `13.6 eV`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Excitation upto `n=3` is required so that visible length is emitted upon de-excitation.
So required energy `=13.6 (1-1/9)=12.1 eV`

Potential energy is minimum (in this case zero) at mean position `(x = 0)` and maximum at extreme position `(x = +-A)`.
At time `t = 0, x= A` Hence, PE should be maximum. Therefore, graph is correct. Further is graph III. PE is minimum at ` x= 0`. Hence this is also correct.

A particle performs SHM of amplitude A along a straight line.

Then its new amplitude becomes.A. `(sqrt(5))/(2)A`B. `(sqrt(3))/(2)A`C. `sqrt(2)A`D. `sqrt(5)A`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
at `x = (sqrt(3))/(2)A`
`KE = 1/2 momega^(2) (A^(2) - (3)/(4)A^(2)) = 1/8 momega^(2)A^(2)`

Phase space deagrams are useful tools . in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially usrful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momenum are changed. Here we conseder some simple dynamical systems in one dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is `x(t) vs. p(t) curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure.

The left block in figure collides inelastically with the right block and striks to it. Find the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion

Answer» Assuming the collision to last for a small interval only, we can apply the principle of conservation momentum. The common velocity after the collision is `(v)/(2)`. The kinectic energy `= (1)/(2)(2m) ((v)/(2))^(2) = (1)/(4) mv^(2)`. This is also the total energy of viberation as the spring isunstretched at this moment. If the amplitude is `A`, the total energy cen also be written as `(1)/(2)kA^(2)`. Thus,
`(1)/(2)kA^(2) = (1)/(4)mv^(2)`, giving `A = sqrt((m)/(2k))v`.

Two masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` concute a high spring of natural length `l_(0)` is compressed completely and tied by a string. This system while conving with a velocity `v_(0)` along `+ve` x-axis pass thorugh the origin at `t = 0`, at this position the string sanps, Position of mass `m_(1)` at time t is given by the equation `x_(1)t = v_(0)(A//1-cosomegat)`. Calculate (i) position of the particle `m_(2)` as a funcation of time, (ii) `l_(0)` in terms of A.

Answer» Correct Answer - (i) `v_(0)t + A(m_(1))/(m_(2))(1-cosomegat)` , (ii) `((m_(1))/(m_(2)) + 1) A`
(i) Two massse `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` are connected by a spring of length `l_(0)`. The spring is in compressed position. It is held in this position by a string. When the string snaps, the spring force is brought into operation. The spring force is an internal force w.r.t masses-spring system. No external force is applied on the system. The velocity of centre of mass will not change.
Velocity of centre of mass `= v_(0)`
`:.` Location/x -coordinate of centre of mass of time
`t = v_(0)t`
`:. barv = (m_(1)x_(1) + m_(2)x_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
`rArr v_(0)t = (m_(1)[v_(0)t - A(1-cosomegat)]+m_(2)x_(2))/(m_(1) + m_(2))`
`rArr (m_(1)+m_(2))v_(0)t=m_(1)[v_(0)t-A(1-cosomegat)]+m_(2)x_(2))`
`rArr m_(1)v_(0)t + m_(2)v_(0)t = m_(1)v_(.0)t - m_(1)A(1-cosomegat)] + m_(2)x_(2)`
`rArr m_(2)x_(2) = m_(2)v_(0)t + m_(1)A(1-cosomegat)`
`rArr x_(2)=v_(0)t + (m_(1)A)/(m_(2))(1-cosomegat)"......"(i)`
To express `l_(0)` in terms of A.
`:. x_(1) = v_(0)t - A(1-cosomegat) :. (dx_(1))/(dt^(2)) = -Aomega^(2) sinomegat`
`:. (d^(2)x^(2))/(dt^(2)) = - Aomega^(2) cosomegat "........"(ii)`
`x_(1)` is displacement of `m_(1)` at time t.
`:. (d^(2)x_(1))/(dt^(2)) =` acceleration of `m_(1)` at time t.
When the spring attains its natural length `l_(0)`, then acceleration is zero and `(x_(2) - x_(1)) = l_(0))`
`:. x_(2) x_(1) = l_(0)` , Put `x_(2)` from (i)
`rArr [v_(0)t + (m_(1)A)/(m_(2)) (1-cosomegat)] - [v_(0)t - A(1-cosomegat)] = l_(0)`
`rArr l_(0) = ((m_(1))/(m_(2)) + 1)A(1-cosomegat)`
When `(d^(2)x_(1))/(dt^(2)) = 0, cosomegat = 0` from (ii).
`:. l_(0) = ((m_(1))/(m_(2)) + 1)A`.

Two blocks of mass 10 kg and 2 kg are connected by an ideal spring of spring constant `K = 800 N//m` and the system is placed on a horizontal surface as shown. The coefficient of friction between 10 kg block and surface is 0.5 but friction is absent between 2 kg and the surface. Initially blocks are at rest and spring is relaxed. The 2 kg block is displaced to elongate the spring by 1 cm and is then released. (a) Will 10 kg block move subsequently? (b) Draw a graph representing variation of magnitude of frictional force on 10 kg block with time. Time t is measured from that instant when 2 kg block is released to move.

A particle of mass m is tied at the end of a light string of length L, whose other end is fixed at point C (fig), and is revolving in a horizontal circle of radius r to form a conical pendulum. A parallel horizontal beam of light forms shadow of the particle on a vertical wall. If the tension in the string is F find - (a) The maximum acceleration of the shadow moving on the wall. (b) The time period of the shadow moving on the wall.

Answer» Correct Answer - `(a) (1)/(m)sqrt(F^(2)-(mg)^(2)), (b) 2pi((m^(2)r^(2))/(F^(2)-(mg)^(2)))^(1//4)`
