Even though an electric field E exerts a force qE on a charged particle yet the electric field of an EM wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Electric field of electromagnetic waves is an oscillating field and so the electric FORCE caused by it on CHARGED particle. This electric force averaged over an integral number of cycles is ZERO SINCE its direction changes EVERY half cycle. Hence electric field is not responsible for radiation pressure.

Explain the change in the band with the temperatureof the intrinsic semiconductor by drawing figure.

Answer»

Solution :An intrinsic semiconductor will behave like an INSULATOR at T = 0K as SHOWN in figure (a).

At T = 0K temperature all the electrons are bound in the valence band and they are not in CONDUCTION band so electrons cannot flow, as a result it behave as insulators.
These thermally exicted electrons at `T gt 0K`, partially occupy the conduction band which is shown in figure.

Solid dots indicates electrons while empty dot indicates holes in the figure.
As shown in the figure, four electrons getting energy from valence band and have gone into conduction band so four holes shown in valence band.

Two radioactive substances X and Y initially contain equal number of atoms. Their half-lives are 1 hour and 2 hours respectively. Calculate the ratio of their rates of disintegration after four hours.

Answer»

Solution :Rate of disintegration
`(R)=(dN)/(dt)=lambdaN=Nxx0.693/T`
`THEREFORE` The ratio of rates of disintegration , `R_1/R_2=(N_1/N_2)T_2/T_1`
Here, `T_1`= 1 hour : `T_2` =2 hours
`N_0` is same for both the RADIO ACTIVE substances. In four hours, X completes 4 half-lives as its half-life is 1 hour. The ramaining NUMBER of atoms of X,
`N_1=N_0/2^n=N_0/2^4=N_0/16`.
Y completes 2 half-lives in four hours as its half-life is 2 hours.
The number of atoms of Y remaining , `N_2=N_0/2^2=N_0/4`
`therefore R_1/R_2=N_0/16xx4/N_0(2/1)=1/2`.

The apparent frequency of a note is 200 Hz. When a listener is moving with a velocity of 40 ms^(-1) towards a stationary source. When he moves away from the same source with the same speed, the apparent frequency of the same note is 160 Hz. The velocity of sound in air in m//s is

Answer»

360
330
320
340

Solution :here 200= `(v_(s) + 40)/(v_(s)) XX N`
160 ` = (v_(s) - 40)/(v_(s)) xx n`
Dividing ` (200)/(160) = (v_(s) + 40)/(v_(s)- 40) `
this gives `v_(s) = 360 ms^(-1)`
correct choice is (a) .

If one of two identical slits producing interference in Young's experiment is covered with glass, so that the light intensity passing through it is reduced 50 50%, find the ratio of the maximum and minimum intensity of the fringe in the interference pattern. (b) What kind of fringes do you expect to observe if white light is used instead of monochromatic light ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Let INTENSITY of light passing through first slit be `I_(1)=I`. So the intensity of light passing through second slit covered with glass `I_(2)=50%` of I=0.5I.
`therefore`MAXIMUM intensity of interference PATTERN
`I_(max)=I_(1)+I_(2)+2sqrt(I_(1)I_(2))=I+0.5I+2sqrt(I*(0.5I))=(1.5+sqrt(2))I`
and minimum intensity of interference pattern
`I_("min")=I_(1)+I_(2)-2sqrt(I_(1)I_(2))=I+0.5I-2sqrt(I*(0.5I))=(1.5-sqrt(2))I`
`implies(I_(max))/(I_("min"))=(1.5+sqrt(2))/(1.5-sqrt(2))=(1.5+1.414)/(1.5-1.414)=(2.914)/(0.086)=33.9:1`

The following observations were recorded on a platinum resistance thermometer: Resistance at melting point of ice = 3.70 ohm, resistance of boiling point of water at normal pressure Omega and resistance at t”^(@)C = 5.29 ohm. Calculate (i) Temperature coefficient of resistance of platinum, (ii) Value of temperature t

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) TEMPERATURE coefficient of resistance is givenby
`aplha=(R_100-R_0)/(R_0xx100)=(4.71-3.70)/(3.70xx100)`
`(1.01)/(370)=2.73xx10^(-3)PER"^(C )`
For temperature t we have
`t=100"^(@)Cxx(R_1-R_0)/(R_100-R_0)`
`100^(@)Cxx(5.29-3.70)/(4.71-3.70)=100^(@)Cxx(1.59)/(1.01)=157.4"^(@)C`

Consider a wire carrying a steady current, I placed in a uniform magnetic field vecB perpendicular to its length. Consider the charges inside the wire. It is known that magnetic forces do no work. This implies that,

Answer»

motion of charges inside the CONDUCTOR is unaffected by `vecB` since they do not absorb energy.
some charges inside the wire move to the SURFACE as a result of `vecB`.
if the wire moves under the INFLUENCE of `vecB`, no work is done by the FORCE.
if the wire moves under the influence of `vecB`, no work is done by the magnetic force on the ions, assumed fixed within the wire.

Solution :CURRENT carrying wire (I) is held in magnetic field as it is perpendicular to magnetic field. So magnetic force act on it is,
`F=IlBsintheta`
`theta=90^(@)" "(becauseIvecl_|_vecB)`
`thereforeF=IlB`
According to Fleming.s left hand rule the direction of magnetic force is perpendicular to magnetic field. So, work done by magnetic force on ions are zero. So, options (B), (D) are true.

For a CE transistoramplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collector resistance of 4.0kOmega is 4.0V. suppose the current amplification factor of the transistor is 100. What should be the value of R_(B) in series with supply of 2.0 V if the de base current has to be 10 times the signal current. Also calculate the dc drop across the V_(BB) collector resistance.

Answer»

Solution :The output as voltage is 4.0V. So the ac collector currnet
`I_(C)=4.0//4000=1.0mA`. The SIGNAL current through the BASE is therefore given by
`i_(B)=i_(C)//beta=1.0mA//100=0.010mA`. The dc base current has to be `10xx0.010=0.10mA`.
ASLO `R_(B)=(V_(BB)-V_(BE))//I_(B)`, Assuming
`V_(BE)=0.6V`
`R_(B)=(2.0-0.6)//0.10=14kOmega`
The dc collector current
