When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. The threshold wavelength for the surface is:
A
$2 \lambda$
B
$4 \lambda$
C
$6 \lambda$
D
$8 \lambda$

Solution

(B) The Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by $eV_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi_0$,where $\phi_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$ and $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.
For the first case: $e(4.8) = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi_0 \quad ... (i)$
For the second case: $e(1.6) = \frac{hc}{2\lambda} - \phi_0 \quad ... (ii)$
Dividing equation $(i)$ by equation $(ii)$:
$\frac{4.8}{1.6} = \frac{\frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi_0}{\frac{hc}{2\lambda} - \phi_0}$
$3 = \frac{\frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi_0}{\frac{hc}{2\lambda} - \phi_0}$
$3 \left( \frac{hc}{2\lambda} - \phi_0 \right) = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi_0$
$\frac{3hc}{2\lambda} - 3\phi_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi_0$
$\frac{3hc}{2\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda} = 2\phi_0$
$\frac{hc}{2\lambda} = 2\phi_0 \implies \phi_0 = \frac{hc}{4\lambda}$
Since $\phi_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$,we have $\frac{hc}{\lambda_0} = \frac{hc}{4\lambda}$.
Therefore,the threshold wavelength $\lambda_0 = 4\lambda$.

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{4}$. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is:
A
$\frac{5}{2} \lambda$
B
$3 \lambda$
C
$4 \lambda$
D
$5 \lambda$

Solution

(B) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the stopping potential $V$ is given by $eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.
For the first case: $eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$ --- $(1)$
For the second case: $e(\frac{V}{4}) = \frac{hc}{2\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$ --- $(2)$
Dividing equation $(1)$ by equation $(2)$:
$4 = \frac{\frac{hc}{\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}}{\frac{hc}{2\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}}$
$4 = \frac{\frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}}{\frac{1}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}}$
$4(\frac{1}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}) = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}$
$\frac{2}{\lambda} - \frac{4}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}$
$\frac{2}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{4}{\lambda_0} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}$
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{3}{\lambda_0}$
$\lambda_0 = 3\lambda$.

$A$ metal disc of radius $R$ rotates with an angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis perpendicular to its plane passing through its centre in a magnetic field of induction $B$ acting perpendicular to the plane of the disc. The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. between the rim and the axis of the disc is:
A
$\pi BR^2$
B
$\frac{2 \pi^2 BR^2}{\omega}$
C
$\pi BR^2 \omega$
D
$\frac{BR^2 \omega}{2}$

Solution

(D) Consider a small radial element of length $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the centre of the disc.
As the disc rotates,this element moves with a linear velocity $v = r\omega$ in the magnetic field $B$.
The motional e.m.f. $de$ induced across this small element is given by $de = Bv dr = B(r\omega) dr$.
To find the total induced e.m.f. $e$ between the centre $(r=0)$ and the rim $(r=R)$,we integrate the expression:
$e = \int_{0}^{R} B\omega r dr$
$e = B\omega \int_{0}^{R} r dr$
$e = B\omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{R}$
$e = \frac{B\omega R^2}{2}$
The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is $|e| = \frac{B\omega R^2}{2}$.

Two conducting circular loops of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. If $R_1$ > $R_2$, the mutual inductance $M$ between them will be directly proportional to
A
$\frac{R_1}{R_2}$
B
$\frac{R_2}{R_1}$
C
$\frac{R_1^2}{R_2}$
D
$\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$

Solution

(D) The magnetic field $B$ at the center of a circular loop of radius $R_1$ carrying current $I_1$ is given by $B = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 R_1}$.
Since $R_1$ > $R_2$, we assume the smaller loop of radius $R_2$ is placed within the magnetic field of the larger loop.
The magnetic flux $\phi_2$ linked with the smaller loop is $\phi_2 = B \cdot A_2$, where $A_2 = \pi R_2^2$ is the area of the smaller loop.
Substituting the values, we get $\phi_2 = \left( \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 R_1} \right) (\pi R_2^2) = \left( \frac{\mu_0 \pi R_2^2}{2 R_1} \right) I_1$.
By definition, the mutual inductance $M$ is given by $\phi_2 = M I_1$, so $M = \frac{\mu_0 \pi R_2^2}{2 R_1}$.
Thus, $M$ is directly proportional to $\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$.

Two conducting circular loops of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. If $R_1 > R_2$,the mutual inductance $M$ between them will be directly proportional to
A
$\frac{R_1}{R_2}$
B
$\frac{R_2}{R_1}$
C
$\frac{R_1^2}{R_2}$
D
$\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$

Solution

(D) The magnetic field produced by the larger loop of radius $R_1$ at its center is $B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R_1}$.
Assuming the smaller loop of radius $R_2$ is placed in this uniform magnetic field,the magnetic flux linked with the smaller loop is $\phi = B \cdot A_2$,where $A_2 = \pi R_2^2$ is the area of the smaller loop.
$\phi = \left( \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R_1} \right) (\pi R_2^2) = \left( \frac{\mu_0 \pi R_2^2}{2 R_1} \right) I$.
Since $\phi = M I$,comparing the two expressions,we get $M = \frac{\mu_0 \pi R_2^2}{2 R_1}$.
Therefore,the mutual inductance $M$ is directly proportional to $\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}$.

An electron is projected along the axis of a circular conductor carrying current $I$. The electron will experience:
A
no force.
B
a force along the axis.
C
a force at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the axis.
D
a force perpendicular to the axis.

Solution

(A) The magnetic field $B$ produced by a circular current-carrying loop is directed along its axis.
When an electron is projected along the axis of the circular conductor,its velocity vector $v$ is parallel to the magnetic field vector $B$.
Therefore,the angle $\theta$ between the velocity vector $v$ and the magnetic field $B$ is $0^{\circ}$.
The magnetic force $F$ experienced by a charged particle is given by $F = qvB \sin \theta$.
Substituting $\theta = 0^{\circ}$,we get $F = qvB \sin(0^{\circ}) = 0$.
Thus,the electron experiences no force.

In a meter bridge experiment,a null point is obtained at $l \text{ cm}$ from the left end. If the meter bridge wire is replaced by a wire of the same material but twice the area of cross-section,then the null point is obtained at a distance:
A
$2l \text{ cm}$ from the left end.
B
$l \text{ cm}$ from the left end.
C
$l/2 \text{ cm}$ from the left end.
D
$l/4 \text{ cm}$ from the left end.

Solution

(B) In a meter bridge experiment,the condition for the null point is given by the Wheatstone bridge principle: $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R_1}{R_2}$,where $R_1$ and $R_2$ are the resistances of the two segments of the wire.
Since $R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$,the ratio of the resistances of the two segments is $\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\rho (l/A)}{\rho ((100-l)/A)} = \frac{l}{100-l}$.
This ratio depends only on the lengths of the segments and is independent of the resistivity $\rho$ and the cross-sectional area $A$ of the wire.
Therefore,changing the cross-sectional area of the wire does not affect the balance condition.
The null point will remain at the same position,i.e.,$l \text{ cm}$ from the left end.

In a meter bridge experiment,the null point was obtained at a distance '$l$' from the left end. The values of the resistances in the left and right gaps are doubled and then interchanged. What is the new position of the null point?
A
$l$
B
$(100-l)$
C
$(100-2l)$
D
$2l$

Solution

(B) In a meter bridge,the condition for the null point is given by the ratio: $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l}{100-l}$,where $P$ is the resistance in the left gap and $Q$ is the resistance in the right gap.
Initially,$\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l}{100-l}$.
When the resistances are doubled,they become $2P$ and $2Q$. When they are interchanged,the new left resistance becomes $2Q$ and the new right resistance becomes $2P$.
The new null point $l'$ satisfies: $\frac{2Q}{2P} = \frac{l'}{100-l'}$.
Simplifying the ratio: $\frac{Q}{P} = \frac{l'}{100-l'}$.
Since $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{l}{100-l}$,then $\frac{Q}{P} = \frac{100-l}{l}$.
Equating the two: $\frac{l'}{100-l'} = \frac{100-l}{l}$.
By cross-multiplication: $l cdot l' = (100-l)(100-l')$.
$l cdot l' = 10000 - 100l' - 100l + l cdot l'$.
$100l' = 10000 - 100l$.
$l' = 100 - l$.
Therefore,the new position of the null point is $(100-l)$.

Two resistances $X$ and $Y$ are connected in the two gaps of a meter bridge,and the null point is obtained at $20 \text{ cm}$ from the zero end. When a resistance of $20 \text{ } \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two resistances $X$ and $Y$,the null point shifts to $40 \text{ cm}$ from the left end. The value of the smaller resistance in ohms is:
A
$6$
B
$9$
C
$12$
D
$15$

Solution

(C) For a meter bridge,the balancing condition is given by $\frac{X}{Y} = \frac{l}{100-l}$.
In the first case,$l = 20 \text{ cm}$.
$\frac{X}{Y} = \frac{20}{100-20} = \frac{20}{80} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Therefore,$Y = 4X$.
In the second case,the null point shifts to $l' = 40 \text{ cm}$. Since $X < Y$,we connect the $20 \text{ } \Omega$ resistor in series with $X$.
So,$X' = X + 20$ and $Y' = Y = 4X$.
The new balancing condition is $\frac{X+20}{4X} = \frac{40}{100-40} = \frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3}$.
Cross-multiplying gives $3(X + 20) = 2(4X)$.
$3X + 60 = 8X$.
$5X = 60$,which gives $X = 12 \text{ } \Omega$.
Since $Y = 4X = 48 \text{ } \Omega$,the smaller resistance is $X = 12 \text{ } \Omega$.

For a gas,$\frac{R}{C_{V}}=0.4$,where $R$ is the universal gas constant and $C_{V}$ is the molar specific heat at constant volume. The gas is made up of molecules which are
A
rigid diatomic
B
monoatomic
C
non-rigid diatomic
D
polyatomic

Solution

(A) Given: $\frac{R}{C_{V}} = 0.4$
$C_{V} = \frac{R}{0.4} = \frac{R}{2/5} = \frac{5R}{2}$
We know that for an ideal gas,$C_{P} = C_{V} + R$.
Substituting the value of $C_{V}$:
$C_{P} = \frac{5R}{2} + R = \frac{7R}{2}$
The adiabatic index $\gamma$ is given by $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$.
$\gamma = \frac{7R/2}{5R/2} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4$
For a gas,the degree of freedom $f$ is related to $\gamma$ by $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$.
$1.4 = 1 + \frac{2}{f} \implies 0.4 = \frac{2}{f} \implies f = \frac{2}{0.4} = 5$.
$A$ gas with $f = 5$ degrees of freedom corresponds to rigid diatomic molecules.

The average force applied on the walls of a closed container depends on $T^{x}$ where $T$ is the temperature of an ideal gas. The value of '$x$' is
A
$4$
B
$3$
C
$2$
D
$1$

Solution

(D) The pressure $P$ exerted by a gas on the walls of a container is defined as the force $F$ per unit area $A$,given by $P = \frac{F}{A}$.
Since the area $A$ of the container is constant,the force $F$ is directly proportional to the pressure $P$,i.e.,$F \propto P$.
From the ideal gas equation,$PV = nRT$,we can write $P = \frac{nRT}{V}$.
For a closed container,the volume $V$ is constant. Therefore,$P \propto T$.
Substituting this into the proportionality for force,we get $F \propto T$.
Comparing this with the given expression $F \propto T^{x}$,we find that $x = 1$.

If a gas is compressed isothermally,then the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules
A
decreases.
B
increases.
C
remains the same.
D
first decreases and then increases.

Solution

(C) The root-mean-square (rms) velocity of gas molecules is given by the formula:
$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}}$
From this expression,we can see that $v_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}$ for a given gas.
In an isothermal process,the temperature $(T)$ of the system remains constant.
Since the temperature does not change,the r.m.s. velocity of the gas molecules remains the same.

$A$ square loop of area $25 \, cm^2$ has a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$. This loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $40 \, T$. The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The work done in pulling the loop out of the magnetic field slowly and uniformly in one second will be:
A
$1 \times 10^{-4} \, J$
B
$1.0 \times 10^{-3} \, J$
C
$5 \times 10^{-3} \, J$
D
$2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, J$

Solution

(B) Given: Area of square loop $A = 25 \, cm^2 = 25 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$.
Side length $l = \sqrt{A} = 5 \, cm = 0.05 \, m$.
Resistance $R = 10 \, \Omega$, Time $t = 1 \, s$, Magnetic field $B = 40 \, T$.
The velocity $v$ required to pull the loop out in $1 \, s$ is $v = l/t = 0.05/1 = 0.05 \, m/s$.
The induced motional emf is $\varepsilon = Blv$.
The induced current is $I = \varepsilon/R = (Blv)/R$.
Substituting the values: $I = (40 \times 0.05 \times 0.05) / 10 = 0.01 \, A$.
The magnetic force acting on the loop is $F = BIl$.
Substituting the values: $F = 40 \times 0.01 \times 0.05 = 0.02 \, N$.
The work done is $W = F \times l = 0.02 \times 0.05 = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, J$.

An electron of mass '$m$' and charge '$q$' is travelling with speed '$v$' along a circular path of radius '$R$',at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of intensity '$B$'. If the speed of the electron is halved and the magnetic field is doubled,the resulting path would have radius:
A
$4 R$
B
$2 R$
C
$\frac{R}{2}$
D
$\frac{R}{4}$

Solution

(D) For a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field,the magnetic Lorentz force provides the necessary centripetal force for circular motion.
$q v B = \frac{m v^2}{R}$
$\therefore R = \frac{m v}{q B}$
Given that the new speed $v' = \frac{v}{2}$ and the new magnetic field $B' = 2 B$.
The new radius $R'$ is given by:
$R' = \frac{m v'}{q B'} = \frac{m (v/2)}{q (2 B)}$
$R' = \frac{1}{4} \frac{m v}{q B}$
Since $R = \frac{m v}{q B}$,we get:
$R' = \frac{R}{4}$

An electron is projected along the axis of a circular conductor carrying current $I$. The electron will experience:
A
a force at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the axis.
B
no force.
C
a force along the axis.
D
a force perpendicular to the axis.

Solution

(B) The magnetic field produced by a circular current-carrying loop along its axis is directed along the axis itself.
Since the electron is projected along the axis,its velocity vector $\vec{v}$ is parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field vector $\vec{B}$.
The magnetic force on a moving charge is given by $\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$,which has a magnitude $F = qvB \sin \theta$.
Here,the angle $\theta$ between the velocity and the magnetic field is $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$.
Since $\sin(0^{\circ}) = 0$ and $\sin(180^{\circ}) = 0$,the magnetic force $F = 0$.
Therefore,the electron experiences no force.

The materials suitable for making electromagnets should have
A
high retentivity and high coercivity
B
low retentivity and low coercivity
C
high retentivity and low coercivity
D
low retentivity and high coercivity

Solution

(C) An electromagnet requires a material that can be easily magnetized and demagnetized.
$1$. High retentivity allows the material to acquire a strong magnetic field when current flows through the coil.
$2$. Low coercivity ensures that the material loses its magnetism quickly when the current is switched off,allowing for efficient control.
Therefore,materials like soft iron are ideal for electromagnets because they possess high retentivity and low coercivity.

$A$ disc has mass $M$ and radius $R$. How much tangential force should be applied to the rim of the disc,so as to rotate with angular velocity $\omega$ in time $t$?
A
$\frac{MR \omega}{4 t}$
B
$\frac{MR \omega}{2 t}$
C
$\frac{MR \omega}{t}$
D
$M R \omega t$

Solution

(B) The moment of inertia of a disc about its central axis is $I = \frac{1}{2} MR^2$.
Using the equation of rotational motion,$\omega = \omega_0 + \alpha t$. Since the disc starts from rest,$\omega_0 = 0$,so $\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}$.
The torque $\tau$ required is given by $\tau = I \alpha = (\frac{1}{2} MR^2) \times (\frac{\omega}{t}) = \frac{MR^2 \omega}{2t}$.
Since the force $F$ is applied tangentially at the rim,the torque is $\tau = F \times R$.
Equating the two expressions for torque: $F \times R = \frac{MR^2 \omega}{2t}$.
Therefore,the tangential force is $F = \frac{MR \omega}{2t}$.

A
$\frac{\pi a}{T}$
B
$\frac{3 \pi^2 a}{T}$
C
$\frac{\pi a \sqrt{3}}{T}$
D
$\frac{\pi a \sqrt{3}}{2}$

Solution

(C) The velocity of a particle in simple harmonic motion is given by $v = \omega \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}$.
Given the angular frequency $\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$.
At position $x = \frac{a}{2}$,the speed is:
$v = \omega \sqrt{a^2 - (\frac{a}{2})^2}$
$v = \omega \sqrt{a^2 - \frac{a^2}{4}}$
$v = \omega \sqrt{\frac{3a^2}{4}}$
$v = \omega \cdot \frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Substituting $\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$:
$v = \frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$v = \frac{\pi a \sqrt{3}}{T}$

The refractive index of a glass convex lens is $1.5$. The radius of curvature of each of the two surfaces of the lens is $20 ~cm$. The ratio of the power of the lens when immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.25$ to that when placed in air is:
A
$2:3$
B
$2:5$
C
$3:5$
D
$5:2$

Solution

(B) Given: Refractive index of glass $\mu_g = 1.5$,refractive index of air $\mu_a = 1$,refractive index of liquid $\mu_l = 1.25$,and radii of curvature $R_1 = 20 ~cm, R_2 = -20 ~cm$.
Using the Lens Maker's Formula: $P = \frac{1}{f} = (\frac{\mu_g}{\mu_m} - 1)(\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2})$.
Power in air $(P_a)$: $P_a = (\frac{1.5}{1} - 1)(\frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{-20}) = (0.5)(\frac{2}{20}) = 0.5 \times 0.1 = 0.05 ~cm^{-1}$.
Power in liquid $(P_l)$: $P_l = (\frac{1.5}{1.25} - 1)(\frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{-20}) = (1.2 - 1)(0.1) = 0.2 \times 0.1 = 0.02 ~cm^{-1}$.
Ratio of power in liquid to power in air: $\frac{P_l}{P_a} = \frac{0.02}{0.05} = \frac{2}{5}$.

$A$ person is observing a bacteria through a compound microscope. For better observation and to improve its resolving power,he should:
A
increase the wavelength of light.
B
increase the refractive index of the medium between the object and objective lens.
C
decrease the focal length of the eyepiece.
D
decrease the diameter of the objective lens.

Solution

(B) The resolving power $R$ of a microscope is given by the formula: $R = \frac{2n \sin \alpha}{0.61 \lambda}$,where $n$ is the refractive index of the medium between the object and the objective lens,$\alpha$ is the semi-vertical angle,and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used.
From the formula,it is clear that $R \propto n$.
Therefore,by increasing the refractive index $n$ of the medium between the object and the objective lens,the resolving power of the microscope can be increased.

An ink mark is made on a piece of paper on which a glass slab of thickness $t$ is placed. The ink mark appears to be raised up through a distance $x$ when viewed at nearly normal incidence. If the refractive index of the material of the glass slab is $\mu$,then the thickness of the glass slab is given by:
A
$\frac{\mu x}{\mu-1}$
B
$\frac{(\mu-1)}{\mu}$
C
$\frac{\mu-1}{\mu x}$
D
$\frac{\mu}{(\mu-1) x}$

Solution

(A) The normal shift $x$ produced by a glass slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is given by the formula:
$x = t \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$
Rearranging the terms to solve for $t$:
$x = t \left( \frac{\mu - 1}{\mu} \right)$
$t = \frac{x \mu}{\mu - 1}$
Thus,the thickness of the glass slab is $\frac{\mu x}{\mu - 1}$.

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 $1: \sqrt{2}$.

$\frac{mR \omega}{t}$

Solution

(A) The angular acceleration $\alpha$ is given by $\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}$.
The moment of inertia of a disc about its central axis is $I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2$.
The torque $\tau$ required is $\tau = I \alpha = (\frac{1}{2} mR^2) (\frac{\omega}{t}) = \frac{mR^2 \omega}{2t}$.
Since torque is also given by $\tau = F \cdot R$,where $F$ is the tangential force applied at the rim,
$F \cdot R = \frac{mR^2 \omega}{2t}$.
Solving for $F$,we get $F = \frac{mR \omega}{2t}$.

Heat energy is incident on the surface at the rate of $1000 ~J/min$. If the coefficient of absorption is $0.8$ and the coefficient of reflection is $0.1$,then the heat energy transmitted by the surface in $5 ~min$ is: (in $~J$)
A
$700$
B
$500$
C
$100$
D
$900$

Solution

(B) According to the law of conservation of energy for incident radiation:
Coefficient of transmission $(t)$ + Coefficient of absorption $(a)$ + Coefficient of reflection $(r)$ $= 1$
Given: $a = 0.8$,$r = 0.1$
Therefore,$t = 1 - 0.8 - 0.1 = 0.1$
This means $10\%$ of the incident energy is transmitted through the surface.
Total incident energy in $5 ~min = 1000 ~J/min \times 5 ~min = 5000 ~J$
Transmitted energy $= 5000 ~J \times 0.1 = 500 ~J$

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas initially at temperature $T_1$ is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a massless,frictionless piston. By releasing the piston suddenly,the gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas columns before and after expansion respectively,then $\frac{T_2}{T_1}$ is
A
$\frac{L_1}{L_2}$
B
$\frac{L_2}{L_1}$
C
$\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^{2/3}$
D
$\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{2/3}$

Solution

(C) For an adiabatic process,the relationship between temperature and volume is given by $T_1 V_1^{\gamma-1} = T_2 V_2^{\gamma-1}$.
Therefore,$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma-1}$.
For a monoatomic ideal gas,the adiabatic index $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$.
Thus,$\gamma - 1 = \frac{5}{3} - 1 = \frac{2}{3}$.
Since the gas is in a cylinder of constant cross-sectional area $A$,the volume $V$ is proportional to the length $L$ of the gas column $(V = AL)$.
Substituting $V_1 = AL_1$ and $V_2 = AL_2$,we get $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{L_1}{L_2}$.
Substituting these values into the temperature ratio equation:
$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^{2/3}$.

Heat energy is incident on the surface at the rate of $1000 ~J/min$. If the coefficient of absorption is $0.8$ and the coefficient of reflection is $0.1$,then the heat energy transmitted by the surface in $5$ minutes is: (in $~J$)
A
$100$
B
$500$
C
$700$
D
$900$

Solution

(B) The total incident energy per unit time is $Q_{in} = 1000 ~J/min$.
According to the law of conservation of energy,the sum of the coefficients of absorption $(a)$,reflection $(r)$,and transmission $(t)$ is equal to $1$:
$a + r + t = 1$
Given $a = 0.8$ and $r = 0.1$,we can find the coefficient of transmission $(t)$:
$0.8 + 0.1 + t = 1$
$0.9 + t = 1$
$t = 0.1$
Now,the rate of heat energy transmitted is $H = t \times Q_{in} = 0.1 \times 1000 = 100 ~J/min$.
The total heat energy transmitted in $5$ minutes is $E = H \times 5 = 100 \times 5 = 500 ~J$.

$A$ diatomic gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{7}{5}\right)$ is compressed adiabatically to a volume $\frac{V_i}{32}$,where $V_i$ is its initial volume. The initial temperature of the gas is $T_i$ in Kelvin and the final temperature is $xT_i$. The value of $x$ is:
A
$5$
B
$4$
C
$3$
D
$2$

Solution

(B) For an adiabatic process,the relationship between temperature $T$ and volume $V$ is given by $TV^{\gamma-1} = \text{constant}$.
Given,initial volume $= V_i$,initial temperature $= T_i$,and final volume $V_f = \frac{V_i}{32}$.
Using the adiabatic relation: $T_i V_i^{\gamma-1} = T_f V_f^{\gamma-1}$.
Substituting the values: $T_i V_i^{\frac{7}{5}-1} = T_f \left(\frac{V_i}{32}\right)^{\frac{7}{5}-1}$.
$T_i V_i^{\frac{2}{5}} = T_f \left(\frac{V_i}{32}\right)^{\frac{2}{5}}$.
$T_i = T_f \left(\frac{1}{32}\right)^{\frac{2}{5}}$.
$T_f = T_i \times (32)^{\frac{2}{5}}$.
Since $32 = 2^5$,we have $(32)^{\frac{2}{5}} = (2^5)^{\frac{2}{5}} = 2^2 = 4$.
Therefore,$T_f = 4T_i$.
Comparing this with $T_f = xT_i$,we get $x = 4$.

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ is given by:
A
$\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)$
B
$\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{2/3}$
C
$\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^{2/3}$
D
$\left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)$

Solution

(B) For an adiabatic process,the relationship between temperature $T$ and volume $V$ is given by $T V^{\gamma-1} = \text{constant}$.
Since the gas is monoatomic,the adiabatic index $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$.
Therefore,$\gamma - 1 = \frac{5}{3} - 1 = \frac{2}{3}$.
The volume of the gas column in a cylinder of cross-sectional area $A$ is $V = A \times L$.
Thus,$T_1 (A L_1)^{\gamma-1} = T_2 (A L_2)^{\gamma-1}$.
Rearranging for the ratio $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$,we get:
$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{\gamma-1} = \left(\frac{L_2}{L_1}\right)^{2/3}$.

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 Young's double slit experiment,the two slits are $d$ distance apart. An interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$ from the slits. $A$ dark fringe is observed on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light is:
A
$\frac{D^2}{2 d}$
B
$\frac{d^2}{2 D}$
C
$\frac{D^2}{d}$
D
$\frac{d^2}{D}$

Solution

(D) Let the two slits be $S_1$ and $S_2$. The point $P$ on the screen is directly opposite to slit $S_1$.
The distance $S_1 P = D$ and the distance $S_2 P = \sqrt{D^2 + d^2}$.
Using the binomial expansion for $S_2 P$:
$S_2 P = D \left(1 + \frac{d^2}{D^2}\right)^{1/2} \approx D \left(1 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2}{D^2}\right) = D + \frac{d^2}{2D}$.
The path difference $\Delta x$ between the two waves reaching point $P$ is:
$\Delta x = S_2 P - S_1 P = (D + \frac{d^2}{2D}) - D = \frac{d^2}{2D}$.
For a dark fringe,the path difference must be an odd multiple of $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. For the first dark fringe (minimum path difference),we set:
$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{2}$.
Equating the two expressions:
$\frac{d^2}{2D} = \frac{\lambda}{2}$.
Therefore,the wavelength of light is $\lambda = \frac{d^2}{D}$.

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
$\frac{9}{7}$
B
$\frac{7}{9}$
C
$\frac{10}{11}$
D
$\frac{11}{10}$

Solution

(C) The position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright band is given by $y_n = \frac{n \lambda_1 D}{d}$.
For the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band $(n=5)$: $y_5 = \frac{5 \lambda_1 D}{d}$.
The position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ dark band is given by $y_n' = \frac{(2n-1) \lambda_2 D}{2d}$.
For the $6^{\text{th}}$ dark band $(n=6)$: $y_6' = \frac{(2 \times 6 - 1) \lambda_2 D}{2d} = \frac{11 \lambda_2 D}{2d}$.
Given that the bands coincide,$y_5 = y_6'$,so:
$\frac{5 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{11 \lambda_2 D}{2d}$.
Canceling $D$ and $d$ from both sides:
$5 \lambda_1 = \frac{11 \lambda_2}{2}$.
Rearranging to find the ratio $\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}$:
$\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{5 \times 2}{11} = \frac{10}{11}$.

Solution

(A) For an $fcc$ unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell $(n)$ is $4$.
The density formula is given by $\rho = \frac{M \times n}{a^3 \times N_A}$.
Rearranging for the volume of the unit cell $(a^3)$,we get $a^3 = \frac{M \times n}{\rho \times N_A}$.
Substituting the given values: $M = 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$n = 4$,and $\rho \cdot N_A = 120 \times 10^{21} \ g \ cm^{-3} \ mol^{-1}$.
$a^3 = \frac{180 \times 4}{120 \times 10^{21}} = \frac{720}{120 \times 10^{21}} = 6.00 \times 10^{-21} \ cm^3$.

In an ionic crystalline solid,atoms of element $Y$ form an $hcp$ structure. The atoms of element $X$ occupy one-third of the tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?
A
$X_2 Y_3$
B
$X Y$
C
$X_3 Y_3$
D
$X Y_2$

Solution

(A) The atoms of element $Y$ form an $hcp$ structure. Let the number of $Y$ atoms be $N$.
The number of tetrahedral voids generated is $2N$.
The atoms of element $X$ occupy $1/3$ of these tetrahedral voids.
Therefore,the number of $X$ atoms $= 2N \times 1/3 = 2/3 N$.
The ratio of $X$ atoms to $Y$ atoms is $(2/3 N) : N = 2/3 : 1 = 2 : 3$.

Solution

(B) For a $bcc$ unit cell, the relationship between the radius $r$ and the edge length $a$ is given by $r = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a$.
Therefore, $a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Substituting the value $r = 227 \ pm$:
$a = \frac{4 \times 227}{1.732} \approx 524.83 \ pm$.
Converting $pm$ to $cm$: $1 \ pm = 10^{-10} \ cm$.
$a = 524.83 \times 10^{-10} \ cm = 5.2483 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.

Which of the following concentration terms depends on temperature?
A
Molality
B
Molarity
C
Mole fraction
D
Percent by mass

Solution

(B) Concentration terms that involve volume are temperature-dependent because volume changes with temperature.
$Molarity$ $(M)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution $(mol/L)$.
Since volume is a component of the denominator,$Molarity$ changes with temperature.

Identify the $CORRECT$ decreasing order of solubilities of alcohols,alkanes,and amines in water having comparable molar mass.
A
Alcohol $>$ amine $>$ alkane
B
Alkane $>$ amine $>$ alcohol
C
Amine $>$ alcohol $>$ alkane
D
Alkane $>$ alcohol $>$ amine

Solution

(A) The solubility of organic compounds in water depends on their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
Alcohols $(R-OH)$ form stronger hydrogen bonds with water due to the high electronegativity of oxygen compared to nitrogen.
Amines $(R-NH_2)$ also form hydrogen bonds with water,but these are weaker than those formed by alcohols because nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen.
Alkanes are non-polar and cannot form hydrogen bonds with water,making them practically insoluble.
Therefore,the decreasing order of solubility is: $\text{Alcohol} > \text{Amine} > \text{Alkane}$.

What is the vapour pressure of a solution containing $1 \ mol$ of a non-volatile solute in $36 \ g$ of water $\left(P_1^0 = 32 \ mm \ Hg\right) (in $mm \ Hg$)?$
A
$8.14$
B
$12.31$
C
$16.08$
D
$21.33$

Solution

(D) Given: $n_2 = 1 \ mol$ (solute),$w_1 = 36 \ g$ (solvent),$P_1^0 = 32 \ mm \ Hg$.
Moles of water $(n_1)$ = $\frac{36 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 2 \ mol$.
According to Raoult's law for non-volatile solutes: $\frac{P_1^0 - P_1}{P_1^0} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{32 - P_1}{32} = \frac{1}{2 + 1} = \frac{1}{3}$.
$3(32 - P_1) = 32$.
$96 - 3P_1 = 32$.
$3P_1 = 96 - 32 = 64$.
$P_1 = \frac{64}{3} = 21.33 \ mm \ Hg$.

Given:
$K_{H} = 0.159 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ bar^{-1}$
$P = 0.346 \ bar$
Calculation:
$S = 0.159 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ bar^{-1} \times 0.346 \ bar = 0.055 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$

Solution

(D) The osmotic pressure $\pi$ is given by the formula $\pi = M \times R \times T$,where $M$ is the molar concentration,$R$ is the gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.
Since $R$ and $T$ are constant for both cases,we have the relationship $\frac{\pi_1}{M_1} = \frac{\pi_2}{M_2}$.
Given $\pi_1 = 4.9 \ atm$,$M_1 = 0.2 \ M$,and $\pi_2 = 1.5 \ atm$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{4.9}{0.2} = \frac{1.5}{M_2}$.
$M_2 = \frac{1.5 \times 0.2}{4.9} = \frac{0.3}{4.9} \approx 0.0612 \ M$.

Mass of glucose $(W_2)$ $= 36 \ g$.
Molar mass of glucose $(M_2)$ $= 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Volume of solution $= 1 \ dm^3 = 1 \ L$.
Assuming the density of the solution is approximately $1 \ g \ mL^{-1}$,the mass of the solvent (water) $W_1$ is $1000 \ g = 1 \ kg$.

Calculate the osmotic pressure of a solution containing $0.025 \ mol$ of glucose in $100 \ mL$ of water at $300 \ K$. $\left[R = 0.082 \ atm \ dm^3 \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}\right]$ (in $atm$)
A
$1.54$
B
$2.05$
C
$6.15$
D
$3.08$

Solution

(C) The formula for osmotic pressure is $\pi = M R T = \frac{n_2 R T}{V}$.
Given:
$n_2 = 0.025 \ mol$
$V = 100 \ mL = 0.1 \ dm^3$
$T = 300 \ K$
$R = 0.082 \ atm \ dm^3 \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$\pi = \frac{0.025 \ mol \times 0.082 \ atm \ dm^3 \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1} \times 300 \ K}{0.1 \ dm^3}$
$\pi = \frac{0.615}{0.1} \ atm = 6.15 \ atm$.

Which among the following solutions has minimum boiling point elevation?
A
$0.1 \ m \ NaCl$
B
$0.2 \ m \ KNO_3$
C
$0.1 \ m \ Na_2SO_4$
D
$0.05 \ m \ CaCl_2$

Solution

(D) The boiling point elevation $\Delta T_b$ is given by $\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m$,where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor and $m$ is the molality. The value of $i \times m$ determines the magnitude of elevation.
$A) \ 0.1 \ m \ NaCl: i \times m = 2 \times 0.1 = 0.2 \ m$
$B) \ 0.2 \ m \ KNO_3: i \times m = 2 \times 0.2 = 0.4 \ m$
$C) \ 0.1 \ m \ Na_2SO_4: i \times m = 3 \times 0.1 = 0.3 \ m$
$D) \ 0.05 \ m \ CaCl_2: i \times m = 3 \times 0.05 = 0.15 \ m$
Since $0.05 \ m \ CaCl_2$ has the lowest value of $i \times m$ $(0.15)$,it exhibits the minimum boiling point elevation.

If $0.15 \ m$ aqueous solution of $KCl$ freezes at $-0.51^{\circ} C$,calculate the van't Hoff factor of $KCl$ (cryoscopic constant of water is $1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$).
A
$1.45$
B
$1.26$
C
$1.82$
D
$3.00$

Solution

(C) The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_{f} = T_{f}^0 - T_{f}$.
Given $T_{f}^0 = 0^{\circ} C$ and $T_{f} = -0.51^{\circ} C$,so $\Delta T_{f} = 0 - (-0.51) = 0.51 \ K$.
The formula for depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_{f} = i \times K_{f} \times m$.
Substituting the values: $0.51 = i \times 1.86 \times 0.15$.
Solving for $i$: $i = \frac{0.51}{1.86 \times 0.15} = \frac{0.51}{0.279} \approx 1.828$.
Rounding to two decimal places,the van't Hoff factor $i$ is $1.82$.

What is the molal elevation constant if one gram mole of a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in $1 \ kg$ of ethyl acetate? $(\Delta T_{b} = x \ K)$
A
$x \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
B
$\frac{x}{2} \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
C
$2x \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
D
$3x \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Given that $1 \ \text{mole}$ of solute is dissolved in $1 \ kg$ of solvent,the molality $m = \frac{1 \ \text{mol}}{1 \ \text{kg}} = 1 \ \text{mol} \ kg^{-1}$.
Substituting the values into the equation: $x \ K = K_{b} \times 1 \ \text{mol} \ kg^{-1}$.
Therefore,$K_{b} = x \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.

$A$ solution of $5.6 \ g$ nonvolatile solute in $50 \ g$ solvent has an elevation in boiling point of $1.75 \ K$. What is the molar mass of the solute $\left(K_{b} = 3 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}\right)$?
A
$192 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$200 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$184 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$176 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality.
Molality $m = \frac{W_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times W_1}$,where $W_2$ is the mass of solute,$M_2$ is the molar mass of solute,and $W_1$ is the mass of solvent.
Substituting the values: $1.75 = \frac{3 \times 5.6 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 50}$.
Rearranging for $M_2$: $M_2 = \frac{3 \times 5.6 \times 1000}{1.75 \times 50}$.
$M_2 = \frac{16800}{87.5} = 192 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

Calculate the van't Hoff factor $(i)$ of $K_2SO_4$ if a $0.1 \ m$ aqueous solution of $K_2SO_4$ freezes at $-0.43 \ ^{\circ}C$. The cryoscopic constant $(K_f)$ of water is $1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
A
$2.3$
B
$2.7$
C
$3.1$
D
$3.5$

Solution

(A) The formula for depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m$.
Given: $\Delta T_f = 0 - (-0.43) = 0.43 \ K$,$K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,and $m = 0.1 \ m$.
Substituting the values: $0.43 = i \times 1.86 \times 0.1$.
Solving for $i$: $i = \frac{0.43}{0.186} \approx 2.31$.
Rounding to the nearest given option,the value is $2.3$.
