  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    The energy flux of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth is \(1.388 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\). The photons in the sunlight have an average wavelength of \(550 \mathrm{~nm}\). How many photons per square metre are incident on the earth per second?

    Solution

    Given,

    \(\mathrm{I}=1.388 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)

    \(\lambda=550 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\)

    \(\mathrm{~h}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\)

    Number of photos incident on earth's surface per second per square metre is,

    \(\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{\mathrm{I} \lambda}{\mathrm{hc}}\)

    As we know,

    \(\mathrm{E}=\frac{h \mathrm{c}}{\lambda}\)

    \(=\frac{1.388 \times 10^{3} \times 550 \times 10^{-9}}{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{-8}}=4 \times 10^{21}\)

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Light is polarized to the maximum when it is incident on a glass surface at an angle of incidence:

    Solution

    The angle of incidence at which a beam of unpolarized light falling on a transparent surface is reflected as a beam of completely plane polarised light is called polarising or Brewster angle. It is denoted by \(\mathrm{i}_{P}\).

    Brewster's law: It states that when a ray is passed through some transparent medium having refractive index \(\mu\) at any particular angle of incidence, the reflected ray is completely polarized; and the angle between reflected and refracted ray is \(90^{\circ}\).

    \(\mu=\tan \theta_{\mathrm{B}}\)

    Where \(\mu=\) refractive index and \(\theta_{\mathrm{B}}\) is Brewster's angle or polarizing angle \(\left(\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)\).

    Given that:

    The light is incident on the glass.

    The refractive index of glass \((\mu)=\frac{3 }{2}\)

    The angle of incidence \(\left(\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)=?\)

    \(\frac{3}{2}=\tan \theta \)

    \(\Rightarrow \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow \theta=56.30^{\circ} \approx 57^{\circ}\)

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    A particle is executing linear simple harmonic motion of amplitude \('A'\). What fraction of the total energy is kinetic when the displacement is half the amplitude?
    Solution
    \(K E=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2}\left(A^{2}-x^{2}\right)\)
    \(=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2}\left(A^{2}-\frac{A^{2}}{4}\right)\)
    \(=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} A^{2}\)
    \(\therefore K E=\frac{3}{4} T . E\)
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    The speed of the particle is increasing at the rate of a \({m} / {s}^{2}\) when it is rotating in the circular path of radius \({R}\). Find the acceleration of the particle when its speed is \({v}\).
    Solution

    \({R}=\) radius of the path
    The tangential acceleration is given as, \(\Rightarrow {a}_{{t}}={a}\)
    The centripetal acceleration is given as, \(\Rightarrow a_{c}=\frac{v^{2}}{R}\)
    When two vectors act perpendicular to each other, the resultant vector is given as, \(\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{P^{2}+Q^{2}}\)
    Where \({P}\) and \({Q}\) are the two vectors, Since acceleration is a vector quantity so the resultant acceleration of the rotating particle is given as,
    \(\Rightarrow a_{R}=\sqrt{a^{2}+\left(\frac{v^{2}}{R}\right)^{2}}\) \(=\sqrt{a^{2}+\frac{v^{4}}{R^{2}}}\)

     
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    An electric heating element consumes \(500 {~W}\) power when connected to a \(100 {~V}\) line. If the line voltage becomes \(150 {~V}\). the power consumed will be:

    Solution

    We know that,

    Power \((P)=\) Voltage \(({V}) \times\) Current \(({I})\)

    From ohms law, \(V=I R\)

    So, \(P=\frac{V^2}R\)

    Now,

    \(P=500 {~W}\)

    \(V=100\) volt

    \(P=\frac{V^2}R\)

    \(\Rightarrow R=\frac{(100 \times 100)}{500}=20\) ohm

    Now, When \({V}=150 {~v}\)

    Power \(=\frac{(150 \times 150)}{20}\)

    \(=\frac{2250}2\)

    \(=1125\) Watt

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Through which mode of wave propagation are the radio waves sent from one place to another?

    Solution
    • Ground wave propagation is mode of wave propogation in which the ground has a strong influence on the propogation of signal waves from the transmitting antenna to receiving antenna. In this propogation, the signal wave glides over the surface of earth.
    • Skywave propagation is a mode of wave propogation in which the radiowaves emitted from the transmitter antenna reach the receiving antenna after reflection by the ionosphere.
    • Space wave propagation is mode of wave propogation in which the radio waves emitted from transmitter antenna reach the receiving antenna directly through space.These radiowaves are called space waves or tropospheric waves.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    A particle is projected vertically with speed \(V\) from the surface of the earth. Maximum height attained by the particle, in terms of the radius of earth \(R, V\) and \(g\) is \((V\) escape velocity, \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth).
    Solution

    By the law of conservation of energy,

    \(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mV}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{GMm}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{-\mathrm{GMm}}{\mathrm{R}+h}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~V}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^{2}} \cdot \mathrm{R}=\frac{-\mathrm{Gm}}{\mathrm{R}^{2}} \frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{(\mathrm{R}+h)}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~V}^{2}-\mathrm{g} \mathrm{R}=\frac{-\mathrm{gR}^{2}}{(\mathrm{R}+h)}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}+h=\frac{-2 \mathrm{gR}^{2}}{\mathrm{~V}^{2}-2 \mathrm{gR}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow h=\frac{-2 \mathrm{gR}^{2}}{\mathrm{~V}^{2}-2 \mathrm{gR}}-\mathrm{R}\)

    \(\Rightarrow h=\frac{-\mathrm{RV}^{2}}{\mathrm{~V}^{2}-2 \mathrm{gR}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow h=\frac{\mathrm{RV}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{gR}-\mathrm{V}^{2}}\)

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    In a compound microscope, the objective and the eyepiece have focal lengths of \(5\) cm and \(9.5\) cm, respectively, and both are kept at a distance of \(20\) cm. If the final image is formed at the least distance of \(25\) cm from the eyepiece, find the total magnification.

    Solution

    In the case of eye-piece lense,

    \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{5}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{5}\)

    \(\Rightarrow u=\frac{-5}{4}\)

    \(\Rightarrow u=-1.25\) cm

    For objective the image distance,

    \(v=20-1.25\)

    \(=18.75\) cm

    Again, by the above formula:

    \(\frac{1}{18.75}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{9.5}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=\frac{4}{75}-\frac{2}{19}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=\frac{76-150}{75 \times 19}\)

    \(\Rightarrow u=\frac{75 \times 19}{-74}\)

    \(\Rightarrow u=-19.25 \) cm

    Total magnification, 

    \(m=m_{1} m_{2}\)

    Here, \(m = \frac{v}{u}\)

    \(\Rightarrow m=\frac{18.75}{19.25} \times \frac{25}{1.25}\)

    \(\Rightarrow m=19.6\)

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    A body is thrown vertically upwards. Which one of the following graphs correctly represent the velocity vs time?

    Solution

    For a body thrown vertically upwards acceleration remains constant (a = – g) and velocity at anytime t is given by V = u – gt

    During rise velocity decreases linearly and during fall velocity increases linearly and direction is opposite to each other.

    Hence graph (a) correctly depicts velocity versus time.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Match List-I with List-II.

      List-I   List-II
    A. Coefficient of viscosity I. \(\left\{\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\right\}\)
    B. Surface Tension II. \(\left\{\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right]\right\}\)
    C. Angular momentum III. \(\left\{\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right]\right\}\)
    D. Rotational kinetic energy  IV. \(\left\{\left[\mathrm{ML}^0 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\right\}\)
    Solution

    \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}=\eta \mathrm{A} \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{d \mathrm{y}} \\ & {\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right]=\eta\left[\mathrm{L}^2\right]\left[\mathrm{T}^{-1}\right]} \\ & \eta=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right] \\ & \mathrm{S} \cdot \mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\ell}=\frac{\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right]}{[\mathrm{L}]}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^0 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right] \\ & \mathrm{L}=\mathrm{mvr}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right] \\ & \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2=\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\end{aligned}\)
