TRANSCRIPT

1. State two characteristic properties of nuclear force. [1]

Solution (a) Nuclear force is a short range force. (b) The nuclear force is charge independent. 2. How does the angle of minimum deviation of a glass

prism vary, if the incident violet light is replaced with red light? [1]

Solution The angle minimum deviation increase with increase in

frequency Therefore:

δ δviolet red>

That is the angle of minimum deviation decreases. 3. The instantaneous current and voltage of an a.c. circuit

are given by i = 10 sin 300 t and V = 200 sin 300 t.

What is the power dissipation in the circuit? [1]

4. Why should the spring/suspension wire in a moving coil galvanometer have low torsional constant? [1]

Solution The moving coil galvanometer springs have low torsional

constants so that they respond to weak electric current, hence the instrument becomes sensitive.

5. Why does the bluish color predominate in a clear sky? [1]

Solution A blue color has a shorter wavelength than red. Therefore,

blue color is scattered much more strongly. Hence, the sky looks blue.

6. Which orientation of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field would correspond to stable equilibrium? [1]

Solution When the electric dipole is oriented in the direction of

applied electric field, then the configuration is said to be in stable equilibrium.

7. Two lines, A and B, in the plot given below show the

variation of de Broglie wavelength, l versus 1V

, where

V is the accelerating potential difference, for two particles carrying the same charge.

Which one of two represents a particle of smaller mass? [1]

A

(a) Identify the materials A and B. (b) Why does the material B have a larger susceptibility

than A for a given field at constant temperature? [2]

Solution (a) The material A is diamagnetic whereas B is

paramagnetic in nature. (b) The susceptibility of the paramagnetic material

is more because the magnetic moment of paramagnetic atom is due to the electron spin, but in diamagnetic materials the magnetic properties arise due to the orbital motion of the electron. Since the spin magnetic moment is higher than the orbital magnetic moment paramagnetic materials show higher susceptibility than the diamagnetic materials.

11. Two metallic wires of the same material have the same length but cross-sectional area is in the ratio 1: 2. They are connected (i) in series and (ii) in parallel. Compare the drift velocities of electrons in the two wires in both the cases (i) and (ii). [2]

15. Derive an expression for the resistivity of a good conduc-tor, in terms of the relaxation time of electrons. [2]

Solution

The resistivity is defined as the resistance of uniform wire of unit area and unit length.

Generally the resistivity and the resistance are related by the relation

Resistivity ρ = RAl

Where R is the resistance of the material, A area of cross section and l is the length of the resistance wire.

The S.I unit of the resistivity is Ω-meter. Consider a conductor of length land area of cross

Solution The current produced in the coil B due to the electro-

magnetic induction. The current produced in the coil depends on 1. Nature of the coil 2. Number of the turns of the coils 3. Distance between the coils.

17. State one feature by which the phenomenon of inter-ference can be distinguished from that of diffraction.

Solution

Interference is produced due to the superposition of two wavefronts whereas the diffraction is due to the superposition of secondary wavelets coming from the same wavefront.

19. Identify the following electromagnetic radiations as per the wavelengths given below. Write one application of each.

(a) 10−3 nm (b) 10−3 m (c) 1 nm [3]

Solution (a) The 10−3 nm wavelength is X-rays. Application X-rays are used in surgery for detection of fractures. (b) 10−3 is Microwave radiation Application Microwaves are used in radar navigation. (c) 1nm radiation is in infrared region. Infrared photography is used in bad weather and

night vision.

20. Explain why high frequency carrier waves are needed for effective transmission of signal. A message signal of 12 kHz and peak voltage 20 V is used to modulate a carrier wave of frequency 12 MHz and peak voltage 30 V. Calculate the (i) modulation index (ii) side-band frequencies. [3]

Physics Special market Book 2_2008 CBSE.indd 4 2011-12-22 1:15:41 PM

Physics (CBSE 2008) 5

Solution The three main reason why the high frequency carrier

waves is used to send signal is • Size of Antenna: For efficient transmission and

reception, the transmitting and receiving antenna must have a length equal to the one fourth of the wavelength. For a 20 kHz audio signal the length of antenna come upto 15 km, therefore the modulation is used.

• Effective power radiated by antenna: The power

radiated by the antenna of length l Pl∝

λ

2

. There-

fore the power radiated by shorter wavelength is high. • Mixing up of signal: Signal mixing up can be avoided

using carrier wave windows called bandwidths. The modulation index

21. Distinguish between unpolarised and plane polarised light. An unpolarised light is incident on the boundary between two transparent media. State the condition when the reflected wave is totally plane polarised. Find out the expression for the angle of incidence in this case. [3]

Solution If the plane of vibration of the electric field of a light beam is

randomly oriented , then the light is said to be unpolarised. In plane polarized light the plane of vibration of the

electric field is restricted to one plane. The reflected light is fully polarized when the light is

incident at Brewster angle. At Brewster angle the refractive index and the angle of

incident are related.

OR State briefly the underlying principle of a transistor

ui = input signal, RB = Input resistance, VBB = Base biase, RC = load resistance. VCC = collector biase.

The change in IC due to a change in IB causes a change in VCE and the voltage drop across the resistor RL because VCC is fixed.

The change can be given as

V V I RC CC C L= - (1)

When an ac 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 IC and a consequent decrease in VC. Thus, during positive half cycle of the input, the collector becomes less positive. During the negative half cycle of the input, the forward bias is decreased, resulting in a decrease in IE and hence IC. Therefore, from equation (i) VC 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.

(a) Which of the metals has larger threshold wavelength? Give reason.

(b) Explain giving reason, which metal gives out electrons, having larger kinetic energy, for the same wavelength of the incident radiation.

(c) If the distance between the light source and metal X is halved, how will the kinetic energy of electrons emitted from it change? Give reason. [3]

Solution (a) From the graph the threshold frequency of the metal

X is less than the metal Y. Therefore the metal X has larger threshold wavelength.

(b) The work function of metal X is less than the work function of metal Y. Therefore metal Y gives more energetic electron.

(c) The kinetic energy of the electron is independent of the intensity of light, therefore the kinetic energy do not change.

25. A circular coil of 200 turns and radius 10 cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T, normal to the plane of the coil. If the current in the coil is 3.0 A, calculate the

(a) Total torque on the coil (b) Total force on the coil (c) Average force on each electron in the coil due to the

magnetic field

Assume the area of cross-section of the wire to be 10−5 m2 and the free electron density is 1029/m3. [3]

Solution (a) Total torque τ = nIAB sinθ But θ = 90° therefore the net torque is

t = 200 ×3 × 2 × 3.14 × (0.1)2 × 0.5 =18.84 Nm.

(b) Force on the coil is given by

F = nIBl = 3 × 0.5 × 2 × 3.14 × 0.1 × 200 = 188.4 N

(c) The total number of electrons in the entire length of the wire can be calculated as

n = length of wire × area of wire × 1029/m3

= 200 × 2 ×3.14 × 0.1 ×10-5 × 1029

OR (a) Two sources are said to be coherent if they emit

wavelength in same frequency or wavelength of light with a constant phase difference. The phase difference between two sodium vapor lamps is not constant so the light emitted by the source is not constant and therefore the interference pattern does not appear.

(b) Let two slits are separated by a distance d. Screeen is placed from at a distance D.

The slits S1 and S2 then behave like two coherent sources because light waves coming out from S1 and S2 are derived from the same original source and any abrupt phase change in S will manifest in exactly similar phase changes in the light coming out from S1 and S2. Thus, the two sources S1 and S2 will be locked in phase;

The constructive interference happen when the wavelets emitting from both sources are in phase

30. An a.c source generating a voltage V = Vmsinωt is connected to a capacitor of capacitance C. Find the expression for the current i, flowing through it, plot a

graph of v and i versus ωt to show that the current is π2

, ahead of the voltage.

A resistor of 200 Ω and a capacitor of 15 μF are connected in series to a 220 V, 50 Hz a.c source. Calculate the current in the circuit and the rms voltage across the resistor and the capacitor. Is the algebraic sum of these voltages more than the source voltage? If yes, resolve the paradox. [5]

Explain briefly, with the help of a labeled diagram, the basic principle of the working of an a.c generator.

In an a.c generator, coil of N turns and area A is rotated at V revolutions per second in a uniform magnetic field B.

Write the expression for the emf produced. A 100 turn coil of area 0.1 m2 rotates at half a revolution per second. It is placed in a magnetic field 0.01 T perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coil. Calculate the maximum voltage generated in the coil. [5]

The device used to generate ac voltage (or current ) using the principle of electromagnetic induction is called a.c. generator. An a.c. generator consists of a metallic coil called armature rotating between the poles of the field magnet as shown in the figure. The axis of rotation of the coil is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. The ends of the armature coil are welded to two metallic rings called slip rings which rotate along with the armature. Two carbon brushes rub against the slip rings and the wires which carries the power to the external circuit is connected to the carbon brushes. As the armature rotates in the magnetic field, The flux linked to the coil changes and hence induced currents generated in the coil.

When the coil rotated with constant angular velocity w, then the angle q between the magneti field vector and the area vecotor is

θ ω= t (Assuming q = 0 at t = 0)

There for the flux at time t is

φ θ ω( ) cost BA BA t= =cos

There for the emf induced in the coil
