$A$ mass $M$ attached to a horizontal spring executes $S.H.M.$ of amplitude $A_1$. When the mass $M$ passes through its mean position,a smaller mass $m$ is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude $A_2$. The ratio $\left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)$ is
A
$\frac{M+m}{M}$
B
$\frac{M}{M+m}$
C
$\left(\frac{M+m}{M}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
D
$\left(\frac{M}{M+m}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Solution

(C) At the mean position,the velocity of the mass $M$ is maximum,given by $v_{max} = \omega_1 A_1 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M}} A_1$.
When mass $m$ is placed on $M$,the total mass becomes $(M+m)$.
Since the collision is perfectly inelastic and occurs at the mean position,the momentum is conserved.
$M v_{max} = (M+m) v'_{max}$.
So,$v'_{max} = \frac{M}{M+m} v_{max}$.
The new angular frequency is $\omega_2 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M+m}}$.
Since $v'_{max} = \omega_2 A_2$,we have $\frac{M}{M+m} (\omega_1 A_1) = \omega_2 A_2$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{M}{M+m} \sqrt{\frac{k}{M}} A_1 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M+m}} A_2$.
$\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{M+m}{M} \sqrt{\frac{k}{M+m}} \sqrt{\frac{M}{k}} = \frac{M+m}{M} \sqrt{\frac{M}{M+m}} = \sqrt{\frac{M+m}{M}} = \left(\frac{M+m}{M}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$.

$A$ mass $M$ attached to a horizontal spring executes $S.H.M.$ of amplitude $A_{1}$. When the mass $M$ passes through its mean position,a smaller mass $m$ is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude $A_{2}$. The ratio of $\left(\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}\right)$ is
A
$\frac{M+m}{M}$
B
$\left(\frac{M}{M+m}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
C
$\left(\frac{M+m}{M}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
D
$\frac{M}{M+m}$

Solution

(C) When the mass $M$ passes through the mean position,its velocity $V$ is maximum,given by $V = \omega_{1} A_{1} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M}} A_{1}$.
When mass $m$ is placed on $M$,the momentum is conserved during the collision (as the impulsive force acts internally).
$M V = (M + m) V^{\prime}$,where $V^{\prime}$ is the new velocity at the mean position.
$V^{\prime} = \frac{M}{M+m} V$.
The new amplitude $A_{2}$ is determined by the new angular frequency $\omega_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M+m}}$.
Since $V^{\prime} = \omega_{2} A_{2}$,we have $A_{2} = \frac{V^{\prime}}{\omega_{2}} = \frac{M V}{(M+m) \sqrt{\frac{k}{M+m}}} = \frac{M \sqrt{\frac{k}{M}} A_{1}}{(M+m) \sqrt{\frac{k}{M+m}}} = \frac{M}{\sqrt{M}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{M+m}}{M+m} A_{1} = \sqrt{\frac{M}{M+m}} A_{1}$.
Therefore,$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{M+m}{M}} = \left(\frac{M+m}{M}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$.

For a ray of light,the critical angle is minimum when it travels from
A
air to glass.
B
glass to water.
C
water to glass.
D
glass to air.

Solution

(D) The critical angle $c$ is given by the formula $\sin c = \frac{1}{\mu}$,where $\mu$ is the refractive index of the denser medium with respect to the rarer medium.
For the critical angle to be minimum,$\sin c$ must be minimum,which implies $\mu$ must be maximum.
Refractive indices are: $a\mu_w = 1.33$,$a\mu_g = 1.50$.
For light traveling from glass to air,$\mu = \frac{a\mu_g}{a\mu_a} = \frac{1.5}{1} = 1.5$.
For light traveling from water to glass,$\mu = \frac{a\mu_g}{a\mu_w} = \frac{1.5}{1.33} \approx 1.125$.
For light traveling from glass to water,$\mu = \frac{a\mu_w}{a\mu_g} = \frac{1.33}{1.5} < 1$ (Total internal reflection is not possible).
Comparing the values of $\mu$ for which total internal reflection is possible,the value $\mu = 1.5$ (glass to air) is the maximum.
Therefore,the critical angle is minimum for light traveling from glass to air.

$A$ convex lens of focal length $F$ produces a real image $n$ times the size of the object. The image distance is
A
$F(n+1)$
B
$F(n-1)$
C
$\frac{F}{(n+1)}$
D
$\frac{F}{(n-1)}$

Solution

(A) For a real image formed by a convex lens,the magnification $m$ is given by $m = -n$.
Since $m = \frac{v}{u}$,we have $\frac{v}{u} = -n$,which implies $u = -\frac{v}{n}$.
Using the lens formula $\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$,we substitute $u$:
$\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{(-v/n)} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{n}{v} = \frac{1+n}{v}$.
Therefore,the image distance $v = F(n+1)$.

The magnifying power of a refracting type of astronomical telescope is $m$. If the focal length of the eyepiece is doubled,the magnifying power will become:
A
$\frac{m}{4}$
B
$\frac{m}{2}$
C
$2m$
D
$m$

Solution

(B) The magnifying power $m$ of an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment is given by the formula $m = \frac{f_o}{f_e}$,where $f_o$ is the focal length of the objective lens and $f_e$ is the focal length of the eyepiece.
If the focal length of the eyepiece is doubled,the new focal length $f_e' = 2f_e$.
The new magnifying power $m'$ becomes $m' = \frac{f_o}{f_e'} = \frac{f_o}{2f_e} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{f_o}{f_e} \right) = \frac{m}{2}$.
Therefore,the magnifying power becomes half of its original value.

Two bodies have their moments of inertia $I$ and $2I$ respectively about their axes of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal,their angular momenta will be in the ratio:
A
$2: 1$
B
$1: 2 \sqrt{2}$
C
$1: \sqrt{2}$
D
$1: 2$

Solution

(C) The rotational kinetic energy $K$ is given by $K = \frac{L^2}{2I}$,where $L$ is the angular momentum and $I$ is the moment of inertia.
Given that the kinetic energies are equal,$K_1 = K_2$.
Therefore,$\frac{L_1^2}{2I_1} = \frac{L_2^2}{2I_2}$.
Substituting $I_1 = I$ and $I_2 = 2I$:
$\frac{L_1^2}{2I} = \frac{L_2^2}{2(2I)}$
$\frac{L_1^2}{I} = \frac{L_2^2}{2I}$
$\frac{L_1^2}{L_2^2} = \frac{I}{2I} = \frac{1}{2}$
Taking the square root on both sides:
$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Thus,the ratio of their angular momenta is $1: \sqrt{2}$.

$A$ rotating body has angular momentum $L$. If its frequency of rotation is halved and its rotational kinetic energy is doubled,what will be its new angular momentum?
A
$2 ~L$
B
$\frac{L}{4}$
C
$4 ~L$
D
$\frac{L}{2}$

Solution

(C) The rotational kinetic energy is given by $K = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$,where $I$ is the moment of inertia and $\omega$ is the angular velocity.
Given that the frequency $f$ is halved,the angular velocity $\omega = 2\pi f$ is also halved,so $\omega_2 = \frac{\omega_1}{2}$.
Given that the kinetic energy is doubled,$K_2 = 2K_1$.
Using the ratio: $\frac{K_2}{K_1} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} I_2 \omega_2^2}{\frac{1}{2} I_1 \omega_1^2} \implies 2 = \frac{I_2}{I_1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 \implies 2 = \frac{I_2}{I_1} \times \frac{1}{4} \implies \frac{I_2}{I_1} = 8$.
Angular momentum is given by $L = I\omega$.
The new angular momentum $L_2$ is $\frac{L_2}{L_1} = \frac{I_2 \omega_2}{I_1 \omega_1} = \left( \frac{I_2}{I_1} \right) \left( \frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1} \right) = 8 \times \frac{1}{2} = 4$.
Therefore,$L_2 = 4L$.

Two bodies have their moments of inertia $I$ and $2I$ respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal,their angular momenta will be in the ratio
A
$1: 2$
B
$\sqrt{2}: 1$
C
$2: 1$
D
$1: \sqrt{2}$

Solution

(D) The kinetic energy of rotation $K$ is related to angular momentum $L$ and moment of inertia $I$ by the formula $K = \frac{L^2}{2I}$.
Rearranging for angular momentum,we get $L = \sqrt{2KI}$.
Since the kinetic energies $K$ are equal for both bodies,we have $L \propto \sqrt{I}$.
Therefore,the ratio of the angular momenta of the two bodies is $\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \sqrt{\frac{I_1}{I_2}}$.
Given $I_1 = I$ and $I_2 = 2I$,we substitute these values:
$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \sqrt{\frac{I}{2I}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Thus,the ratio is $1: \sqrt{2}$.

Two rings of radius $R$ and $nR$ made of the same material have a ratio of moment of inertia about an axis passing through their centers and perpendicular to their planes as $1:8$. The value of $n$ is (mass per unit length is constant).
A
$1$
B
$3$
C
$4$
D
$2$

Solution

(D) Let the mass per unit length be $\lambda$. The mass of a ring is $M = \lambda \times (2\pi r)$.
For the first ring of radius $R$,mass $M_1 = \lambda (2\pi R)$. The moment of inertia is $I_1 = M_1 R^2 = \lambda (2\pi R) R^2 = 2\pi \lambda R^3$.
For the second ring of radius $nR$,mass $M_2 = \lambda (2\pi nR) = n M_1$. The moment of inertia is $I_2 = M_2 (nR)^2 = (n M_1) (n^2 R^2) = n^3 M_1 R^2 = n^3 I_1$.
Given the ratio $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{1}{8}$.
Substituting $I_2 = n^3 I_1$,we get $\frac{I_1}{n^3 I_1} = \frac{1}{n^3} = \frac{1}{8}$.
Therefore,$n^3 = 8$,which gives $n = 2$.

From a disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$,a circular hole of diameter $R$ is cut such that its rim passes through the center of the disc. The moment of inertia of the remaining part of the disc about a perpendicular axis passing through the center of the original disc is
A
$\frac{11 MR^{2}}{32}$
B
$\frac{7 MR^{2}}{32}$
C
$\frac{9 MR^{2}}{32}$
D
$\frac{13 MR^{2}}{32}$

Solution

(D) The moment of inertia of the original disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane is $I_{\text{total}} = \frac{1}{2} MR^2$.
The area of the original disc is $A = \pi R^2$. The diameter of the hole is $R$,so its radius is $r = R/2$. The area of the hole is $A_{\text{hole}} = \pi (R/2)^2 = \frac{\pi R^2}{4} = \frac{A}{4}$.
Since the mass is proportional to the area,the mass of the removed part is $M_{\text{removed}} = \frac{M}{4}$.
The center of the hole is at a distance $d = R/2$ from the center of the original disc. Using the parallel axis theorem,the moment of inertia of the removed disc about the axis passing through the center of the original disc is:
$I_{\text{removed}} = I_{\text{cm}} + M_{\text{removed}} d^2$
$I_{\text{removed}} = \left[ \frac{1}{2} M_{\text{removed}} r^2 \right] + M_{\text{removed}} (R/2)^2$
$I_{\text{removed}} = \left[ \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{M}{4} \right) \left( \frac{R}{2} \right)^2 \right] + \left( \frac{M}{4} \right) \left( \frac{R}{2} \right)^2$
$I_{\text{removed}} = \frac{MR^2}{32} + \frac{MR^2}{16} = \frac{MR^2 + 2MR^2}{32} = \frac{3MR^2}{32}$.
The moment of inertia of the remaining part is:
$I_{\text{remaining}} = I_{\text{total}} - I_{\text{removed}}$
$I_{\text{remaining}} = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 - \frac{3}{32} MR^2 = \frac{16 MR^2 - 3 MR^2}{32} = \frac{13 MR^2}{32}$.

$A$ bucket containing water is revolved in a vertical circle of radius $r$. To prevent the water from falling down, the minimum frequency of revolution required is $[g = \text{acceleration due to gravity}]$.
A
$\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}$
B
$2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}$
C
$\frac{2 \pi g}{r}$
D
$\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}$

Solution

(A) At the highest point of the vertical circle, the condition to prevent water from falling is that the gravitational force must be provided by the centripetal force at minimum velocity.
$mr\omega^2 = mg$
$\omega^2 = \frac{g}{r}$
$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}$
Since angular frequency $\omega = 2\pi f$, where $f$ is the frequency of revolution:
$2\pi f = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}$
$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}$

D
$NAND, \overline{AB}$

Solution

(B) The circuit consists of two $NOT$ gates ($G1$ and $G2$) followed by a $NOR$ gate. The inputs to the $NOT$ gates are $A$ and $B$. Thus,the outputs of the $NOT$ gates are $C = \overline{A}$ and $D = \overline{B}$. These are fed into a $NOR$ gate. The output $Y$ of the $NOR$ gate is given by $Y = \overline{C+D}$. Substituting the values of $C$ and $D$,we get $Y = \overline{\overline{A} + \overline{B}}$. By De Morgan's theorem,$\overline{\overline{A} + \overline{B}} = \overline{\overline{A}} \cdot \overline{\overline{B}} = A \cdot B$. This is the Boolean expression for an $AND$ gate. The truth table is as follows:

Two spheres $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ have the same radii but temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ respectively. Their emissive power is the same and their emissivity is in the ratio $1: 4$. Then the ratio of $T_{1}$ to $T_{2}$ is:
A
$\sqrt{2}: 1$
B
$1: 2$
C
$2: 1$
D
$1: \sqrt{2}$

Solution

(A) The emissive power $P$ of a body is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law: $P = \sigma e T^{4}$,where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant,$e$ is the emissivity,and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
Given that the emissive power of both spheres is the same,we have $P_{1} = P_{2}$.
Therefore,$\sigma e_{1} T_{1}^{4} = \sigma e_{2} T_{2}^{4}$.
This simplifies to $\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}} = \frac{e_{2}}{e_{1}}$.
Given the ratio of emissivity $e_{1} : e_{2} = 1 : 4$,we have $\frac{e_{2}}{e_{1}} = \frac{4}{1} = 4$.
Substituting this into the equation: $\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}} = 4$.
Taking the fourth root on both sides: $\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} = (4)^{1/4} = (2^{2})^{1/4} = 2^{1/2} = \sqrt{2}$.
Thus,the ratio $T_{1} : T_{2} = \sqrt{2} : 1$.

$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light falls normally on a single narrow slit. The angular width of the central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern
A
decreases with increase of slit width.
B
increases with increase of slit width.
C
decreases with decrease of slit width.
D
may increase or decrease.

Solution

(A) The angular width of the central maximum for a single slit diffraction is given by $\theta = \frac{2 \lambda}{a}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light and $a$ is the width of the slit.
From this formula,it is clear that the angular width $\theta$ is inversely proportional to the slit width $a$ $(\theta \propto \frac{1}{a})$.
Therefore,as the slit width $a$ increases,the angular width $\theta$ of the central maximum decreases.

In a biprism experiment,if the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band with wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ coincides with the $6^{\text{th}}$ dark band with wavelength $\lambda_{2}$,then the ratio $\left(\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}\right)$ is:
A
$\frac{10}{11}$
B
$\frac{7}{9}$
C
$\frac{11}{10}$
D
$\frac{9}{7}$

Solution

(A) The position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe is given by $y_{n} = \frac{n \lambda_{1} D}{d}$. For the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band,$y_{5} = \frac{5 \lambda_{1} D}{d}$.
The position of the $m^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe is given by $y'_{m} = \frac{(2m - 1) \lambda_{2} D}{2d}$. For the $6^{\text{th}}$ dark band,$y'_{6} = \frac{(2 \times 6 - 1) \lambda_{2} D}{2d} = \frac{11 \lambda_{2} D}{2d}$.
Since the bands coincide,$y_{5} = y'_{6}$.
$\frac{5 \lambda_{1} D}{d} = \frac{11 \lambda_{2} D}{2d}$.
Simplifying,$5 \lambda_{1} = \frac{11 \lambda_{2}}{2}$.
Therefore,$\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}} = \frac{11}{10}$,which implies $\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}} = \frac{10}{11}$.

In a diffraction experiment from a single slit,the angular width of the central maxima does $NOT$ depend upon
A
wavelength of light used
B
distance of the slit from the screen
C
width of the slit
D
ratio of wavelength and slit width

Solution

(B) The linear width of the central maximum in a single-slit diffraction pattern is given by $w = \frac{2 \lambda D}{d}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength,$D$ is the distance from the slit to the screen,and $d$ is the slit width.
The angular width of the central maximum is defined as the angle subtended by the central maximum at the slit,given by $\theta = \frac{w}{D} = \frac{2 \lambda}{d}$.
From this formula,it is clear that the angular width depends only on the wavelength $\lambda$ and the slit width $d$. It does not depend on the distance $D$ between the slit and the screen.

Two waves $Y_1 = 0.25 \sin 316 t$ and $Y_2 = 0.25 \sin 310 t$ are propagating in the same direction. The number of beats produced per second is
A
$\frac{3}{\pi}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
$\frac{2}{\pi}$

Solution

(A) The general equation for a wave is $Y = A \sin(\omega t)$,where $\omega = 2 \pi f$.
Given $Y_1 = 0.25 \sin 316 t$,we have $\omega_1 = 316 \text{ rad/s}$.
Thus,$2 \pi f_1 = 316 \implies f_1 = \frac{316}{2 \pi} = \frac{158}{\pi} \text{ Hz}$.
Given $Y_2 = 0.25 \sin 310 t$,we have $\omega_2 = 310 \text{ rad/s}$.
Thus,$2 \pi f_2 = 310 \implies f_2 = \frac{310}{2 \pi} = \frac{155}{\pi} \text{ Hz}$.
The beat frequency is the difference between the two frequencies:
$\text{Beat frequency} = f_1 - f_2 = \frac{158}{\pi} - \frac{155}{\pi} = \frac{3}{\pi} \text{ Hz}$.

Two waves $Y_{1} = 0.25 \sin(316 t)$ and $Y_{2} = 0.25 \sin(310 t)$ are propagating along the same direction. The number of beats produced per second is:
A
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
B
$\frac{2}{\pi}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{3}{\pi}$

Solution

(D) The general equation for a wave is $Y = A \sin(\omega t)$,where $\omega = 2 \pi n$ and $n$ is the frequency in Hz.
For the first wave,$Y_{1} = 0.25 \sin(316 t)$,so $\omega_{1} = 316 \text{ rad/s}$.
The frequency $n_{1} = \frac{\omega_{1}}{2 \pi} = \frac{316}{2 \pi} \text{ Hz}$.
For the second wave,$Y_{2} = 0.25 \sin(310 t)$,so $\omega_{2} = 310 \text{ rad/s}$.
The frequency $n_{2} = \frac{\omega_{2}}{2 \pi} = \frac{310}{2 \pi} \text{ Hz}$.
The number of beats produced per second is the difference in frequencies: $n_{beat} = |n_{1} - n_{2}|$.
$n_{beat} = \frac{316}{2 \pi} - \frac{310}{2 \pi} = \frac{316 - 310}{2 \pi} = \frac{6}{2 \pi} = \frac{3}{\pi} \text{ beats/s}$.

On closing an open organ pipe from one end,it is noticed that the frequency of the third harmonic is $50 ~Hz$ more than the fundamental frequency of vibration in the open organ pipe. The fundamental frequency of the open organ pipe is (in $~Hz$)
A
$250$
B
$100$
C
$50$
D
$200$

Solution

(B) Let the length of the pipe be $\ell$ and the velocity of sound be $V$.
For an open organ pipe,the fundamental frequency is $f_{open} = \frac{V}{2\ell}$.
When one end is closed,the pipe becomes a closed organ pipe. The harmonics of a closed organ pipe are odd multiples of the fundamental frequency $f_{closed} = \frac{V}{4\ell}$.
The third harmonic of a closed organ pipe is $f_{3, closed} = 3 \times \frac{V}{4\ell} = \frac{3V}{4\ell}$.
According to the problem,$f_{3, closed} - f_{open} = 50 ~Hz$.
Substituting the expressions: $\frac{3V}{4\ell} - \frac{V}{2\ell} = 50$.
$\frac{3V - 2V}{4\ell} = 50 \implies \frac{V}{4\ell} = 50 ~Hz$.
We need to find the fundamental frequency of the open pipe,$f_{open} = \frac{V}{2\ell} = 2 \times \frac{V}{4\ell} = 2 \times 50 = 100 ~Hz$.

Comparing this with the given equation $y = 10 \sin \frac{\pi x}{4} \cos 20 \pi t$,we find the wave number $k = \frac{\pi}{4} \ cm^{-1}$.
The wave number $k$ is related to the wavelength $\lambda$ by the formula $k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$.
Substituting the value of $k$: $\frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$.
Solving for $\lambda$,we get $\lambda = 8 \ cm$.
The distance between two consecutive nodes in a stationary wave is equal to $\frac{\lambda}{2}$.
Therefore,the distance $= \frac{8 \ cm}{2} = 4 \ cm$.

Which among the following substituent groups decreases the acidic strength of aromatic carboxylic acid?
A
$-NH_{2}$
B
$-CN$
C
$-Cl$
D

$n$-butylamine $(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2NH_2)$ is a $1^{\circ}$-amine,whereas diethylamine is a $2^{\circ}$-amine and ethyldimethylamine is a $3^{\circ}$-amine.
$tert$-butylamine is also a $1^{\circ}$-amine,but its branched structure reduces the surface area for van der Waals forces compared to the straight-chain $n$-butylamine.
Therefore,$n$-butylamine has the highest boiling point.
