Suitable impurities are added to a semiconductor depending on its use. This is done in order to

Answer»

Adding of impurities to SEMICONDUCTOR is doping.

Materials which are used in semiconductor devices are generally of silicon , GERMANIUM etc .

The impurities belong  to either boron family members like gallium , indium to make p- type SEMICONDUCTORS and to make n-type semiconductors  we USE
nitrogen famiily members to make n-type semiconductors  like phosphorus ,
arsenic etc

Doping is done because ADDITION of small qty of them causes dramatic changes in the electrical properties.

Answer»

1.
                 T = 2 π √ (L/g)
       For small changes in L,  we can write :
             ΔT/T = 1/2 ΔL / L
           T = 2 s        ΔL = α ΔTemp L

               ΔT = 1/2 * T * α * ΔTemp
                ΔT = 1/2 * 2 * 2 * 10⁻⁵ * (35-15) = 4 * 10⁻⁴ Sec

             change is 0.4 milliseconds
=============

A silver ornament is suspend to be hollow . its weight is 250 g and it displaces 50 cc of water . if the specific gravity of silver be 10 . find the vol. of the gravity .

Answer» vol. of  ornament = vol. of water displaced 
                         = 50 CC
 vol. of SILVER used in the MAKING of the ornament 
                           = mass / density 
                            = 250/10 
                             = 25 cc
therefore , vol.of CAVITY = 50 - 25 cc= 25 cc

A short notes on sound produced by various musical instruments

Answer»

Sounds can be MADE by twanging a string or an ELASTIC band, blowing down a pipe, banging something together, and scraping or shaking something. There are three families of musical INSTRUMENTS - string, wind and PERCUSSION. When a string is plucked on an instrument such as a guitar, the vibration is passed into the air and you hear a sound. Blowing into panpipes or a horn makes the air inside the pipes vibrate. Bongos and other percussion instruments produce vibrations when you bang them.

A block of mass 5 kg is placed on a rough table. the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between surfaces of block and table be 0.4 and 0.3 respectively. if the force F exerted on the block is 10N (g=10m/s^2) the force of friction between the block and the table is ------------------.explain briefly.

Answer»

Mass of BLOCK = 5 kg
coefficient of static friction, \mu_s = 0.4
coefficient of kinetic friction \mu_k= 0.3

limiting friction = 
\mu_s×m×g=0.4×5×10 = 20N

Until a force greater than 20N is applied, the block won't MOVE. For any force F ≤ limiting friction, the value of friction will be F since friction is a self-adjusting force.

So when a force 10N is applied, the friction between block and table is 10N.

2 balls are thrown up. One ball is thrown 2 seconds after the second ball. If the initial velocity is 40m/s.Find the height at which they will meet

Answer»

Let FIRST ball is THROWN at t = 0s.
second ball is thrown at t = 2s
u = 40 m/s
G = -10 m/s²

let they meet after t seconds at a HEIGHT H. Then both the balls will be at H.
for 1st ball, H = UT+(1/2)gt²
for 2nd ball, H = u(t-2) + (1/2)g(t-2)²

ut+ \frac{1}{2}gt^2 =u(t-2)+ \frac{1}{2}g(t-2)^2 \\ \\ut+ \frac{1}{2}gt^2 =ut-2u+ \frac{1}{2}g(t^2+4-4t) \\ \\ut+ \frac{1}{2}gt^2 =ut-2u+ \frac{1}{2}gt^2+2g-2gt \\ \\-2u+2g-2gt=0\\ \\u-g+gt=0\\ \\40-(-10)-10t=0\\ \\10t=50\\ \\t=  \frac{50}{10}=5\ seconds

H = ut+ \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\ \\H=40*5- \frac{1}{2}*10*5^2=\boxed{75\ m}

If potential at the surface of earth is assigned zero value,then potential at centre of earth

Answer» For\ r \leq R,\ V(r)= \frac{2}{3}  \pi G \rho(r^2-3R^2)

at\ center,\ V(0)= \frac{2}{3} \pi G \rho(-3R^2)=-2 \pi G \rho R^2\\ \\at\ surface,\ V(R)= \frac{2}{3} \pi G \rho(R^2-3R^2)=- \frac{4}{3}  \pi G \rho R^2\\ \\if\ we\ assume\ potential\ at\ surface\ is\ 0,\ or\ V'(R)=0,\ then

V'(0)=V(0)-V(R)\\ \\V'(0)= (-2 \pi G \rho R^2)-(- \frac{4}{3} \pi G \rho R^2)\\ \\V'(0)=(\frac{4}{3}-2) \pi G \rho R^2\\ \\V'(0)=\boxed {- \frac{2}{3} \pi G \rho R^2}

Do u think mercury is an electrolyte?

Answer» MERCURY is METAL and  metals general are not electrolytes, and they all conduct electricity, in solid or liquid form. That is because of their ATOMIC structure; electrons that are not  FREE to move AROUND the material. 
Electrolytes conduct electricity because positive and negative chemical ions are
free to move, not the individual electron.

A bullet of mass m moving horizontally strikes a block of wood of mass M lying at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. the fraction of kinetic energy lost by the bullet if it gets embedded in the block is

Answer»

A bullet of mass m  has an initial velocity = v
initial kinetic energy of the bullet = 1/2  m v²

Wooden block :  mass  M , let the final velocity of the two bodies = V

       we apply the principle of conservation of MOMENTUM.
     m v + M * 0 = (M + m) V
               V =  m v / (M +m)

   The kinetic energy initial = 1/2 m v²
   the final kinetic energy = 1/2 (m+ M) V² = 1/2 * (m + M) [m v / (M+m) ]²
                     = 1/2 * m² v² / (M +m)

   loss of kinetic energy = 1/2 m v² [ 1 - m/(M+m) ] = 1/2 M m v² / (m+M)

On a rainy day, small oil films on water show brilliant colours. This is due to

Answer» Due to the presence of oil on WATER surface a thin film is formed over water.


This is the reason why when the beams of LIGHT fall upon the oil LAYER, it undergoes numerous reflections at different layers of the water.


Each reflected rays tend to interfere with the other and interference takes place resulting on the angle of the reflection different COLOUR hues are PRODUCED.

a body of mass 6kg travelling with a velocity 10m/s collides head on and elastically with a body of mass 4kg travelling at a speed of 5m/s in opposite direction. the velocity of the second body after collision is

Answer»

M₁ = 6kg
u₁ = 10m/s
m₂ = 4 kg
u₂ = -5 m/s
v₂ = ?

v_2= \frac{u_2(m_2-m_1)+2m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2} \\ \\ \Rightarrow v_2= \frac{-5(4-6)+2 \times 6 \times 10}{4+6} \\ \\ \Rightarrow v_2= \frac{10+120}{10} \\ \\ \Rightarrow v_2= 13\ m/s
