Q. A light inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure connects two blocks of masses 0.36 kg and 0.72 kg. Taking g = 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$, find the work done (in joules) by the string on the block of mass 0.36 kg during the first second after the system is released from rest.

[IIT-JEE-2009]

Sol. 8

$\mathrm{a}=\frac{(0.73-0.36) \times 10}{(0.72+0.36)}$

$=\frac{10}{3} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\mathrm{T}=0.36\left(10+\frac{10}{3}\right)=4.8 \mathrm{N}$

$\Delta y=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \times 1^{2}$

$\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{T}}=4.8 \times \frac{5}{3}=8 \mathrm{J}$

Q. A light inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure connects two blocks of masses 0.36 kg and 0.72 kg. Taking g = 10 m/s2, find the work done (in joules) by the string on the block of mass 0.36 kg during the first second after the system is released from rest.

[IIT-JEE-2009]

Sol.

$-\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(0.06)^{2}-0.18 \times 0.06=-\frac{1}{2} \times 0.18 \times v^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 0.0036+0.0108=0.09 \mathrm{v}^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=0.4=\frac{4}{10} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{sec}$

Q. A block of mass 0.18 kg is attached to a spring of force-constant 2 N/m. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.1.

[IIT-JEE-2011]

Sol. 0

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{k}\left[\frac{\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}}{\mathrm{r}^{3}}\right] \Rightarrow$ force is radial.

So W = 0

Q. A particle of mass 0.2 kg is moving in one dimension under a force that delivers a constant power 0.5 W to the particle. If the initial speed $\left(\text { in } \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\right)$ of the particle is zero, the speed $\left(\text { in } \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\right)$ after 5 s is.

Sol. 5t

$\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{F} \cdot \mathrm{v} \Rightarrow 0.5=0.2 \mathrm{v} \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dt}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}^{2}=5 \mathrm{t}$

A block of mass 1 kg is pulled along the rail from P to Q with a force of 18 N, which is always parallel to line PQ (see the figure given). Assuming no frictional losses, the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches Q is (n × 10) Joules. The value of n is (take acceleration due to gravity = 10 $\mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ )

Sol. 5

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}-\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{all}}$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{ext}}+\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{gr}}$

= 18 × 5 J – 1 × 10 × 4 J = 50 J = 5 × 10 J

(A) The force applied on the particle is constant

(B) The speed of the particle is proportional to time

(C) The distance of the particle from the origin increses linerarly with time

(D) The force is conservative

Sol. (A,B,D)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\gamma \mathrm{t}$ as $\mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^{2}$

$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{dk}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{mv} \frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\gamma \mathrm{t}$

$\therefore \mathrm{m} \int_{0}^{\mathrm{v}} \mathrm{vdv}=\gamma \int_{0}^{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{tdt}$

$\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{2}=\frac{\gamma \mathrm{t}^{2}}{2}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{t}} \textrm{ } \quad \ldots \ldots$ (i)

$\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{\mathrm{m}}}=\mathrm{constant}$

since F = ma

$\therefore \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{\mathrm{m}}}=\sqrt{\gamma \mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{constant}$

(A) 8.50 kHz         (B) 8.25 kHz        (C) 7.75 kHz         (D) 7.50 kHz

[JEE 2011]

Sol. (A)

$f^{\prime}=\left(\frac{v}{v-v_{s}}\right)\left(\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}\right) f \Rightarrow f^{\prime}=\left(\frac{320}{320-10}\right)\left(\frac{320+10}{320}\right) \times 8 \Rightarrow f^{\prime} \approx 8.50 \mathrm{kHz}$

Q. Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed 1.0 $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ and the man behind walks at a speed 2.0 $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$. A third man is standing at a height 12 m above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane.

Q. In an experment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column, a tuning fork of frequency 500 Hz is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the level of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length 50.7 cm and 83.9 cm. Which of the following statements is (are) true ?

(A) The speed of sound determined from this experiment is $332 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$

(B) The end correction in this experiment is 0.9 cm

(C) The wavelength of the sound wave is 66.4 cm

(D) The resonance at 50.7 cm corresponds to the fundamental harmonic

Sol. (A,C)

Let $\mathrm{n}_{1}$ harmonic is corresponding to 50.7 cm & $\mathrm{n}_{2}$ harmonic is corresponding 83.9 cm. since both one consecutive harmonics.

$\therefore$ their difference $=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\therefore \frac{\lambda}{2}=(83.9-50.7) \mathrm{cm}$

$\frac{\lambda}{2}=33.2 \mathrm{cm}$

$\lambda=66.4 \mathrm{cm}$

$\therefore \frac{\lambda}{4}=16.6 \mathrm{cm}$

length corresponding to fundamental mode must be close to \frac{\lambda}{4} \& 50.7 cm must be an odd multiple of this length 16.6 × 3 = 49.8 cm. therefore 50.7 is 3^{| \mathrm{rd}}harmonic

If end correction is e, then

\mathrm{e}+50.7=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}

\mathrm{e}=49.8-50.7=-0.9 \mathrm{cm}

\text { speed of sound, } \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{f} \lambda

\therefore \mathrm{v}=500 \times 66.4 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{sec}=332.000 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Q. In an experment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column, a tuning fork of frequency 500 Hz is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the level of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length 50.7 cm and 83.9 cm. Which of the following statements is (are) true ?

(A) The speed of sound determined from this experiment is $332 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$

(B) The end correction in this experiment is 0.9 cm

(C) The wavelength of the sound wave is 66.4 cm

(D) The resonance at 50.7 cm corresponds to the fundamental harmonic

Sol. (A,C)

Let $\mathrm{n}_{1}$ harmonic is corresponding to 50.7 cm & $\mathrm{n}_{2}$ harmonic is corresponding 83.9 cm. since both one consecutive harmonics.

$\therefore$ their difference $=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\therefore \frac{\lambda}{2}=(83.9-50.7) \mathrm{cm}$

$\frac{\lambda}{2}=33.2 \mathrm{cm}$

$\lambda=66.4 \mathrm{cm}$

$\therefore \frac{\lambda}{4}=16.6 \mathrm{cm}$

length corresponding to fundamental mode must be close to \frac{\lambda}{4} \& 50.7 cm must be an odd multiple of this length 16.6 × 3 = 49.8 cm. therefore 50.7 is 3^{| \mathrm{rd}}harmonic

If end correction is e, then

\mathrm{e}+50.7=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}

\mathrm{e}=49.8-50.7=-0.9 \mathrm{cm}

\text { speed of sound, } \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{f} \lambda

\therefore \mathrm{v}=500 \times 66.4 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{sec}=332.000 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Paragraph for Question No. 4 to 6

When a particle of mass m moves on the x–axis in a potential of the form $\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{k} \mathrm{x}^{2}$, it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$, as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of x = 0 in a way different from $\mathrm{kx}^{2}$ and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass m moving on the x–axis. Its potential energy is $\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{x})=\alpha \mathrm{x}^{4}(\alpha>0)$ for $|\mathrm{x}|$ near the origin and becomes a constant equal to $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ for $|\mathrm{x}| \geq \mathrm{X}_{0}$ (see figure)

$x_{3}(t)=B \sin (\omega t+\phi)$ brings the mass to a complete rest. The values of $\mathrm{B}$ and $\phi$ are :-

Paragraph for Questions 10 and 11

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless stick, as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed , the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the z-axis, and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points P and Q). Both these motions have the same angular speed $\omega$ in this case.

Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure : case (A) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to x-z plane; Case (B) the disc with its face making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with x-y plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to x-axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point P, and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed  about the z-axis.

Q. Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

(A) It is $\sqrt{2 \omega}$ for both the cases.

(B) It is $\omega$ for case $(a) ;$ and $\frac{\omega}{\sqrt{2}}$ for case $(b)$

(C) It is $\omega$ for case $(a) ;$ and $\sqrt{2 \omega}$ for case (b).

Q. Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

(A) It is vertical for both the cases (a) and (b).

(B) It is vertical for case (a); and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the x-z plane and lies in the plane of the disc for case (b).

(C) It is horizontal for case (a); and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the x-z plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case (b).

(D) It is vertical for case (a); and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the x-z plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case (b)

[IIT-JEE 2012]

Sol. (A)

Q. The figure shows a system consisting of (i) a ring of outer radius 3R rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed  and (ii) an inner disc of radius 2R rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed $\omega /$2. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearing. The system is in the x-z plane. The point P on the inner disc is at a distance R from the origin, where OP makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,

(A) the point O has a linear velocity $3 R \omega \hat{i}$

10 rad $\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ about its own axis, which is vertical. Two uniform circular rings, each of mass 6.25 kg and radius 0.2 m, are gently placed symmetrically on the disc in such a manner that they are touching each other along the axis of the disc and are horizontal.

Q. A horizontal circular platform of radius 0.5 m and mass 0.45 kg is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns, each carrying a steel ball of mass 0.05 kg are attached to the platform at a distance 0.25 m from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure).

Since no external torque acts therefore angular momentum remains conserved.

Paragraph 1

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity  is an example of a non-inertial frame of reference. The relationship between the force $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{rot}}$ experienced by a particle of mass m moving on the rotating disc and the force $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{in}}$ experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{rot}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{in}}+2 \mathrm{m}\left(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{rot}} \times \vec{\omega}\right)+\mathrm{m}(\vec{\omega} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}) \times \vec{\omega}$

where $\vec{v}_{\text {rot }}$ is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}$ is the position

vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc.

Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter of a disc of radius R rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed  about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the centre of the disc, the x-axis along the slot, the y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the z-axis along the rotation axis $(\vec{\omega}=\omega \hat{k})$ A small block of mass m is gently placed in the slot at $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=(\mathrm{R} / 2) \hat{\mathrm{i}}$ at $\mathrm{t}=0$ and is constrained to move only along the slot.

Q. The distance r of the block at time t is :

(A) $\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4}\left(\mathrm{e}^{2 \omega \mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{e}^{-2 \omega \mathrm{t}}\right)$

(B) $\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2} \cos 2 \omega \mathrm{t}$

(C) $\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2} \mathrm{cos} \omega \mathrm{t}$

(D) $\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4}\left(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{ot}}+\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{ot}}\right)$

Sol. (D)

Force on block along slot $=m \omega^{2} \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{ma}=\mathrm{m}\left(\frac{\mathrm{vdv}}{\mathrm{dr}}\right)$

$\int_{0}^{\mathrm{v}} \mathrm{vd} \mathrm{v}=\int_{\mathrm{R} / 2}^{\mathrm{r}} \omega^{2} \mathrm{rdr}$

$\frac{\mathrm{v}^{2}}{2}=\frac{\omega^{2}}{2}\left(\mathrm{r}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}\right) \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=\omega \sqrt{\mathrm{r}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}}=\frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}}$

$\Rightarrow \int_{\mathrm{R} / 4}^{\mathrm{r}} \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{r}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}}}=\int_{0}^{\mathrm{t}} \omega \mathrm{dt}$

$\ell_{\mathrm{n}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}+\sqrt{\mathrm{r}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}}}{\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}}\right)-\ell \mathrm{n}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R} / 2+\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}}}{\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}}\right)=\omega \mathrm{t}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}+\sqrt{\mathrm{r}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2} \mathrm{e}^{\omega \mathrm{t}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}^{2}-\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}=\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4} \mathrm{e}^{2 \omega \mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{r}^{2}-2 \mathrm{r} \frac{\mathrm{R}}{2} \mathrm{e}^{\omega \mathrm{t}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4} \mathrm{e}^{2 \omega \mathrm{t}}+\frac{\mathrm{R}^{2}}{4}}{\mathrm{Re}^{\mathrm{ot}}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4}\left(\mathrm{e}^{\omega \mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{e}^{-\omega \mathrm{t}}\right)$

Q. The net reaction of the disc on the block is :

(A) $-\mathrm{m\omega}^{2} \mathrm{R}$ cos $\omega$ tì $\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\mathrm{mg} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

(B) $\mathrm{m\omega}^{2} \mathrm{R} \sin \omega \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\mathrm{mg} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

(C) $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m\omega}^{2} \mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{e}^{\omega \mathrm{t}}-\mathrm{e}^{-\omega \mathrm{t}}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\mathrm{mg} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

(D) $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m\omega}^{2} \mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{e}^{2 \omega \mathrm{t}}-\mathrm{e}^{-2 \omega \mathrm{t}}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\mathrm{mg} \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

Q. A rigid uniform bar AB of length L is slipping from its vertical position on a frictionless floor (as shown in the figure). At some instant of time, the angle made by the bar with the vertical is $\theta$. Which of the following statements about its motion is/are correct ?

(A) When the bar makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical, the displacement of its midpoint from the initial position is proportional to $(1-\cos \theta)$

(B) The midpoint of the bar will fall vertically downward

(C) Instantaneous torque about the point in contact with the floor is proportional to $\sin \theta$

(D) The trajectory of the point $A$ is a parabola

Sol. (A,B,C)

When the bar makes an angle $\theta ;$ the height of its COM (mid point) is $\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2} \cos \theta$

$\therefore$ displacement $=\mathrm{L}-\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2} \cos \theta=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2}(1-\cos \theta)$

Since force on COM is only along the vertical direction, hence COM is falling vertically downward.

Instantaneous torque about point of contact is

$\mathrm{Mg} \times \frac{\mathrm{L}}{2} \sin \theta$

Q. A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom of a fixed step of height R as shown in the figure. A constant force is continuously applied on the surface of the wheel so that it just climbs the step without slipping. Consider the torque about an axis normal to the plane of the paper passing through the point Q. Which of the following options is/are correct ?

(A) If the force is applied normal to the circumference at point X then $\tau$ is constant

(B) If the force is applied tangentially at point S then $\tau \neq 0$ but the wheel never climbs the step

(C) If the force is applied normal to the circumference at point P then $\tau$ is zero

(D) If the force is applied at point P tangentially then t decreases continuously as the wheel climbs

Sol. (C)

(A) is incorrect.

if force is applied at P tangentially the

$\tau=\mathrm{F} \times 2 \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{constant}$

Paragraph for Question Nos. 1 to 3

When a particle is restricted to move along x-axis between x = 0 and x = a, where a is of nanometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends x = 0 and x = a. The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum p of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass m is related to its linear momentum as \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{m}}. Thus, the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number ‘n’ taking values 1,2,3, … (n = l, called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave. Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving in the line x = 0 to x = a.

(A) 3.7 eV (B) 3.2 eV (C) 2.8 eV (D) 2.5 eV

Sol. (A)

Q. Planck’s constant h, speed of light c and gravitational constant G are used to form a unit of length L and a unit of mass M. Then the correct option(s) is(are) :-

(A) $\mathrm{M} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{c}}$

(B) $\mathrm{M} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{G}}$

(C) $\mathrm{L} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{h}}$

$(\mathrm{D}) \mathrm{L} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{G}}$

Sol. (A,C,D)

Q. For photo-electric effect with incident photon wavelength $\lambda$, the stopping potential is $\mathrm{V}_{0}$. Identify the correct variation(s) of $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ with $\lambda$ and 1/$\lambda$.

Sol. (A,C)

Stopping potential

$\mathrm{eV}_{0}=\frac{\mathrm{hC}}{\lambda}-\phi$

hence $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ v/s $\lambda$ curve will be hyperbola and $\mathrm{V}_{0}$ v/s $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ curve will be straight line with slope

positive.

hence (A,C)

Q. An electron in an excited state of $\mathrm{Li}^{2+}$ ion has angular momentum 3h/2\pi. The de Broglie

wavelength of the electron in this state is p\pia, (where a is the Bohr radius). The value of $\mathrm{p}$ is?

Sol. 2

From Bohr’s law

$\operatorname{mvr}=\frac{\mathrm{nh}}{2 \pi}=\frac{3 \mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}(\text { from ques. })$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=3$

and momentum $=\mathrm{mv}=\frac{3 \mathrm{h}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}$

Now, radius of $\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{th}}$ shell, $\mathrm{r}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}^{2}}{\mathrm{z}}\right) \mathrm{a}_{0}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}=\frac{(3)^{2}}{3} \cdot \mathrm{a}_{0} \quad\left[\because \mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{Li}}=3\right]$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}=3 \mathrm{a}_{0}$

wavelength $=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\text { momentum }}$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{mv}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\frac{3 \mathrm{h}}{2 \pi} \mathrm{r}}$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} \times 3 \mathrm{a}_{0}$

$\lambda=2 \pi \mathrm{a}_{0}=\mathrm{p} \pi \mathrm{a}_{0}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=2$

Q. In a historical experiment to determine Planck’s constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength ($\lambda$) of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential ($\mathrm{V}_{0}$) are given below:

Given that $c=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ and $\mathrm{e}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C},$ Planck’s constant (in units of $\mathrm{J}$ s) found

from such an experiment is :

(A) $6.0 \times 10^{-34}$

(B) $6.4 \times 10^{-34}$

(C) $6.6 \times 10^{-34}$

(D) $6.8 \times 10^{-34}$

Sol. (B)

$\mathrm{KE}_{\mathrm{max}}=\frac{\mathrm{hC}}{\lambda}-\phi$

$\mathrm{eV}_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{\mathrm{hC}}{\lambda}-\phi$

Q. Light of wavelength $\lambda_{\mathrm{ph}}$ falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work function of the cathode surface is $\phi$ and the anode is a wire mesh of conducting material kept at a distance d from the cathode. A potential difference V is maintained between the electrodes. If the minimum de Broglie wavelength of the electrons passing through the anode is $\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}$, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true ?

(A) For large potential difference $(\mathrm{V}>>\phi / \mathrm{e}), \lambda_{\mathrm{e}}$ is approximately halved if $\mathrm{V}$ is made four

times

(B) $\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}$ increases at the same rate as $\lambda_{\mathrm{ph}}$ for $\lambda_{\mathrm{ph}}<\mathrm{hc} / \phi$

(C) $\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}$ is approximately halved, if d is doubled

(D) $\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}$ decreases with increase in $\phi$ and $\lambda_{\mathrm{ph}}$

Sol. (A)

$\mathrm{K}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}}}-\phi$

kinetic energy of $\mathrm{e}^{-}$ reaching the anode will be

$\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}}}-\phi+\mathrm{eV}$

Now

$\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mK}}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{m}\left(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}}}-\phi+\mathrm{eV}\right)}}$

If $\mathrm{eV}>>\phi$

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{m}\left(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{ph}}}+\mathrm{eV}\right)}}$

If $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}=4 \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}$

Q. A photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_{0}$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$

$\left(\lambda<\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\phi_{0}}\right) .$ The fastest photoelectron has a de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}$. A change in wavelength

of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in a change $\Delta \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}$ in $\lambda_{\mathrm{d}} .$ Then the ratio $\Delta \lambda_{\mathrm{d}} / \Delta \lambda$ is proportional to :-

$(A) \lambda_{d}^{3} / \lambda^{2}$

(B) $\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}^{3} / \lambda$

(C) $\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}^{2} / \lambda^{2}$

(D) $\lambda_{d} / \lambda$

(A)

According to photo electric effect equation :

$\mathrm{KE}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi_{0}$

$\frac{\mathrm{p}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi_{0}$

$\frac{\left(\mathrm{h} / \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}\right)^{2}}{2 \mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi_{0}$

Assuming small changes, differentiating both sides,

$\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{m}}\left(-\frac{2 \mathrm{d} \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}^{3}}\right)=-\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda^{2}} \mathrm{d} \lambda$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}}{\mathrm{d} \lambda} \propto \frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}^{3}}{\lambda^{2}}$

Q. To determine the half life of a radioactive element, a student plots a graph of $\ell n\left|\frac{d N(t)}{d t}\right|$ versus t. Here $\frac{d N(t)}{d t}$ is the rate of radioactive decay at time t. If the number of radioactive nuclei of this element decreases by a factor of p after 4.16 years, the value of p is ?

[JEE- 2010]

Sol. 8

$\left|\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right|=\lambda \mathrm{N}_{0} \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t} \therefore \operatorname{en}\left|\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right|=\ln \left(\mathrm{N}_{0} \lambda\right)-\lambda \mathrm{t}$

$\therefore \ln \left|\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right|=\ln \left(\mathrm{N}_{0} \lambda\right)-\lambda \mathrm{t} \Rightarrow-\lambda=\mathrm{slope}=-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{year}^{-1}$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{1}{2} y r^{-1}$

$\therefore \mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}=1.386$ given time is 3 times of $\mathrm{t}_{1 / 2}$

$\therefore$ value of $\mathrm{p}$ is 8

Q. The activity of a freshly prepared radioactive sample is $10^{10}$ disintegrations per second, whose mean life is $10^{9}$ s. The mass of an atom of this radioisotope is $10^{-25}$kg. The mass (in mg) of the radioactive sample is

[JEE-2011]

Sol. 1

$\mathrm{A}=\lambda \mathrm{N} \Rightarrow 10^{10}=\lambda \mathrm{N} \Rightarrow \mathrm{N}=\frac{10^{10}}{\lambda}=\left(10^{10}\right) \tau=10^{10} \times 10^{9}=10^{19}$

Paragraph for Questions 3 and 4

The -decay process, discovered around 1900, is basically the decay of a neutron (n). In the laboratory, a proton (p) and an electron $\left(\mathrm{e}^{-}\right)$ are observed as the decay products of the neutron. Therefore, considering the decay of a neutron as a two-body decay process, it was predicted theoretically that the kinetic energy of the electron should be a constant. But experimentally, it was observed that the electron kinetic energy has a continuous spectrum. Considering a three-body decay process, $\mathrm{n} \rightarrow \mathrm{p}+\mathrm{e}^{-}+\vec{v}_{e}$ , around 1930, Pauli explained the observed electron energy spectrum. Assuming the anti-neutrino $\left(\vec{v}_{e}\right)$ to be massless and possessing negligible energy, and the neutron to be at rest, momentum and energy conservation principles are applied. From this calculation, the maximum kinetic energy of the electron is $0.8 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{eV}$ . The kinetic energy carried by the proton is only the recoil energy.

Q. If the anti-neutrino had a mass of $3 \mathrm{eV} / \mathrm{c}^{2}$ (where c is the speed of light) instead of zero mass, what should be the range of the kinetic energy, K, of the electron?

(A) $0 \leq K \leq 0.8 \times 10^{6} e V$

(B) $3.0 e V \leq K \leq 0.8 \times 10^{6} e V$

Given that n 2 = 0.693, the fraction of the initial number of nuclei (expressed in nearest integer percentage) that will decay in the first 80 s after preparation of the sample is.

Sol. 4

Given $\mathrm{T}_{1 / 2}=1386 \mathrm{sec}: ;\left|\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{dt}}\right|=10^{3}$

fraction $=\frac{\mathrm{N}_{0}-\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{N}_{0}}=\frac{\mathrm{N}_{0}-\mathrm{N}_{0} \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda \mathrm{t}}}{\mathrm{N}_{0}}=1-\mathrm{e}^{-\lambda \mathrm{t}}$

Q. A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life T years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is 12.5% of the electrical power available from the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of nT years, then the value of n is.

$\mathrm{P} \stackrel{\mathrm{T}}{\longrightarrow} \frac{\mathrm{P}}{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{P}}{\longrightarrow} \frac{\mathrm{P}}{\longrightarrow} \stackrel{\mathrm{T}}{\longrightarrow} \frac{\mathrm{P}}{8}$

Paragraph for Question Nos. 1 to 3

Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, $_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}$, known as deuteron and denoted by D, can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The

D-D reaction is $_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}+_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H} \rightarrow_{2}^{3} \mathrm{He}+\mathrm{n}+$ energy. In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of $_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}$ nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time $\mathrm{t}_{0}$ before the particles fly away from the core. If n is the density (number/volume) of deuterons, the product $\mathrm{nt}_{0}$ is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria, a reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than $5 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. It may be helpful to use the following :

Boltzmann constant $\mathrm{k}=8.6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{eV} / \mathrm{K} ; \frac{\mathrm{e}^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}=1.44 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{eVm}$

Q. In the core of nuclear fusion reactor, the gas becomes plasma because of –

(A) strong nuclear force acting between the deuterons

(B) Coulomb force acting between the deuterons

(C) Coulomb force acting between deuteron-electron pairs

(D) the high temperature maintained inside the reactor core

Also neglect any interaction from other particles in the core. The minimum temperature T required for them to reach a separation of 4 × $10^{-15}$ m is in the range

(A) $1.0 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{K}<\mathrm{T}<2.0 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{K}$

$\mathrm{T}=\frac{1.44 \times 10^{-9}}{4 \times 10^{-15} \times 3 \times 8.6 \times 10^{-5}}$

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ (0). An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ (0) if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ (B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ (B) on B is shown in the figure.

$\mathrm{B}_{\text {wire }}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{i}}{2 \pi \sqrt{\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{h}^{2}}} 2 \sin \theta$

$=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{ia}}{\pi\left(\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{h}^{2}\right)}$

$\mathrm{B}_{\text {loop }}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{ia}^{2}}{2\left(\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{h}^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$

$\mathrm{B}_{\text {wire }}=\mathrm{B}_{\text {loop }}$

$\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{ia}}{\pi\left(\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{h}^{2}\right)}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{i} \mathrm{a}^{2}}{2\left(\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{h}^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$

Sol. (B)

$|\vec{\tau}|=|\vec{M} \times \vec{B}|=M B \sin 30^{\circ}$

where $\mathrm{M}=\left(\pi \mathrm{a}^{2}\right) \mathrm{I}$ and $\mathrm{B}=2 \times \frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{2 \pi \mathrm{d}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{\pi \mathrm{d}}$ Therefore

$\tau=\left(\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}}{\pi \mathrm{d}}\right)\left(\pi \mathrm{a}^{2} \mathrm{I}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}^{2} \mathrm{a}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{d}}$

(A) (II) (ii) (R) (B) (IV) (ii) (R) (C) (IV) (i) (S) (D) (III) (iii) (P)

Sol. (C)

Sol. (B)

The given points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) makes $360^{\circ}$ angle at ‘O’. Hence angle made by vertices 1 & 2 with ‘O’ is $60^{\circ}$.

Direction of magnetic field at ‘O’ due to each segment is same. Since it is symmetric star shape, magnitude will also be same.

Magnetic field due to section BC.

$\left(\mathrm{B}_{1}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{k} \mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{a}}(\sin (+60)-\sin 30)=\frac{\mathrm{ki}}{2 \mathrm{a}}(\sqrt{3}-1)$

$\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{net}}=12 \times \mathrm{B}_{1}=\frac{6 \mathrm{ki}}{\mathrm{a}}(\sqrt{3}-1) \&\left(\mathrm{k}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi}\right)$

Q. A uniform magnetic field B exists in the region between x = 0 and x = $\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{2}$ (region 2 in the figure) pointing normally into the plane of the paper. A particle with charge +Q and momentum p directed along x-axis enters region 2 from region 1 at point $P_{1}$ (y = –R). Which of the following options(s) is/are correct ?

(A) For $\mathrm{B}=\frac{8}{13} \frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{QR}}$, the particle will enter region 3 through the point $P_{2}$ on x-axis

(B) For $\mathrm{B}>\frac{2}{3} \frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{QR}}$, the particle will re-enter region 1

(C) For a fixed B, particle of same charge Q and same velocity v, the distance between the point $P_{1}$ and the point of re-entry into region 1 is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle.

(D) When the particle re-enters region 1 through the longest possible path in region 2, the magnitude of the chage in its linear momentum between point $P_{1}$ and the farthest point from y-axis is $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\sqrt{2}}$.

Sol. (A,B)

For $\mathrm{B}=\fra c{8}{13} \frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{QR}},$ radius of path

$\mathrm{R}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{Q.B}}=\frac{\mathrm{p} \times 13 \mathrm{QR}}{\mathrm{Q} 8 \mathrm{p}}=\frac{13}{8} \mathrm{R}$

using pythagorous theorem, $\mathrm{y}=\frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{8}$

$\therefore$ particle will enter region 3 through point $\mathrm{P}_{2}$

for $\mathrm{B}>\frac{2}{3} \frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{QR}}$

Radius of path $<\frac{3 \mathrm{PQR}}{\mathrm{Q} 2 \mathrm{p}}=\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{R}$

$\therefore$ Particle will not enter in region $3 \&$ will re-enter region 1

charge in momentum = $\sqrt{2} \mathrm{p}$. When particle enters region 1 between entry point & farthest point from y-axis.

Paragraph for Questions 6 and 7

A thermal power plant produces electric power of 600 kW and 4000 V, which is to be transported to a place 20 km away from the power plant for consumers’ usage. It can be transported either directly with a cable of large current carrying capacity or by using a combination of step-up and step-down transformers at the two ends. The drawback of the direct transmission is the large energy dissipation. In the method using transformers, the dissipation is much smaller. In this method, a step-up transformer is used at the plant side so that the current is reduced to a smaller value. At the consumers’ end, a step-down transformer is used to supply power to the consumers at the specified lower voltage. It is reasonable to assume that the power cable is purely resistive and the transformers are ideal with a power factor unity. All the currents and voltages mentioned are rms values.

Q. In the method using the transformers, assume that the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that in the secondary in the step-up transformer is 1 : 10. If the power to the consumers has to be supplied at 200 V, the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that in the secondary in the step-down transformer is

Q. If the direct transmission method with a cable of resistance 0.4 W km–1 is used, the power dissipation (in %) during transmission is

Sol. (B)

Current in transmission line $=\frac{\text { Power }}{\text { Voltage }}$

$=\frac{600 \times 10^{3}}{40,000}=150 \mathrm{A}$

Resistance of line $=0.4 \times 20=8 \Omega$

Power loss in line $=\mathrm{i}^{2} \mathrm{R}=(150)^{2} 8$

$=180 \mathrm{KW}$

percentage of power dissipation in during transmission $=\frac{1800 \times 10^{3}}{600 \times 10^{3}} \times 100=30 \%$

Q. At time t = 0, terminal A in the circuit shown in the figure is connected to B by a key and an alternating current $\mathrm{I}(\mathrm{t})=\mathrm{I}_{0} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$,with I0 = 1A and $\omega=500 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ starts flowing in it with the initial direction shown in the figure. At $=\frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}$, the key is switched from B to D. Now onwards only A and D are connected. A total charge Q flows from the battery to charge the capacitor fully. If $\mathrm{C}=20 \mu \mathrm{F}, \mathrm{R}=10 \Omega$ and the battery is ideal with emf of 50 V, identify the correct statement (s).

(A) Magnitude of the maximum charge on the capacitor before $\mathrm{t}=\frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}$ is $1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{C}$

(B) The current in the left part of the circuit just before $\mathrm{t}=\frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}$ is clockwise.

(C) Immediately after A is connected to D, the current in $\mathrm{R}$ is $10 \mathrm{A}$

(D) $\mathrm{Q}=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{C}$

Sol. (C,D)

Current $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{0} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} q}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{I}_{0} \cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{0}}{\omega} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t})$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\frac{1}{500} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t})$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\left(2 \times 10^{-3}\right) \sin (\omega \mathrm{t})$

So, maximum charge $=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{C}$

immediately before $\mathrm{t}=\frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}$

Current in left part just before $\mathrm{t}=\frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}$

$\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{0} \cos \left(\omega \times \frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}\right)=-\frac{\mathrm{I}_{0} \sqrt{3}}{2}$

Since current is negative hence current will be anticlockwise.

immediately after $\mathrm{t}=\frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}$

$\mathrm{q}=\left(2 \times 10^{-3}\right) \sin \left(\omega \times \frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}\right)$

$\mathrm{q}=\left(2 \times 10^{-3}\right) \sin \left(\omega \times \frac{7 \pi}{6 \omega}\right)$

$=-1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{C}$

Current in $10 \Omega$ resistance,

$\mathrm{I}=\frac{100}{10}=10 \mathrm{A}$

At steady state, potential difference of capaictor is same as of battery,

So, final charge is

$\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{C} \varepsilon=(20 \mu \mathrm{F})(50 \mathrm{V})=+1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{C}$

change in charge $=+10^{-3}-\left(-10^{-3}\right)=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{C}$

Q. In the circuit shown, $\mathrm{L}=1 \mu \mathrm{H}, \mathrm{C}=1 \mu \mathrm{F}$ and $\mathrm{R}=1 \mathrm{k} \Omega$.They are connected in series with an a.c. source $\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{V}_{0}$ $\sin \omega t$ as shown. Which of the following options is/are correct ?

(A) The frequency at which the current will be in phase with the voltage is independent of R.

(B) At $\omega \sim 0$ the current flowing through the circuit becomes nearly zero

(C) At $\omega>>10^{6}$ rad.s $^{-1},$ the circuit behaves like a capacitor.

(D) The current will be in phase with the voltage if $\omega=10^{4} \mathrm{rad.s}^{-1}$

Sol. (A,B)

Q. The instantaneous voltages at three terminals marked X, Y and Z are given by $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \sin$

$\omega \mathrm{t} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Y}}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \sin \left(\omega \mathrm{t}+\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$ and $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Z}}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \sin \left(\omega \mathrm{t}+\frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)$

An ideal voltmeter is configured to read rms value of the potential difference between its terminals. It is connected between points X and Y and then between Y and Z. The reading(s) of the voltmeter will be:-

(A) $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{XY}}^{\mathrm{rms}}=\mathrm{V}_{0}$

(B) $\quad \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{YZ}}^{\mathrm{ms}}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}$

(C) Independent of the choice of the two terminals

(D) $\quad V_{\mathrm{XY}}^{\mathrm{ms}}=\mathrm{V}_{0} \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Sol. (C,D)

Potential difference between $X \& Y=V_{X}-V_{Y}$

Potential difference between $\mathrm{Y} \& \mathrm{Z}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Y}}-\mathrm{V}_{7}$

Phasor of the voltages :

$\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{X}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Y}}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{V}_{0}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{XY}}^{\mathrm{ms}}=\frac{\sqrt{3} \mathrm{V}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}$

similarly $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{YZ}}^{\mathrm{ms}}=\frac{\sqrt{3} \mathrm{V}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}$

Also difference is independent of choice of two terminals.

Paragraph for Question Nos. 1 to 3

The key feature of Bohr’s theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr’s quantization condition.

Q. A diatomic molecule has moment of inertia I. By Bohr’s quantization condition its rotational energy in the nth level (n =0 is not allowed) is

$(\mathrm{A}) \frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}}{8 \pi^{2} \mathrm{I}}\right)$

$(\mathrm{B}) \frac{1}{\mathrm{n}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}}{8 \pi^{2} \mathrm{I}}\right)$

$(\mathrm{C}) \mathrm{n}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}}{8 \pi^{2} \mathrm{I}}\right)$

$(\mathrm{D}) \mathrm{n}^{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}}{8 \pi^{2} \mathrm{I}}\right)$

[JEE 2010]

Sol. (D)

$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^{2}=\frac{(\mathrm{l} \omega)^{2}}{2 \mathrm{l}}=\frac{(\mathrm{nh} / 2 \pi)^{2}}{2 \mathrm{l}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}^{2} \mathrm{h}^{2}}{8 \pi^{2} \mathrm{I}}$

Q. It is found that the excitation frequency from ground to the first excited state of rotation for the CO molecule is close to $\frac{4}{\pi} \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Hz}$ Hz. Then the moment of inertia of CO molecule about its center of mass is close to $\left[\text { Take } \mathrm{h}=2 \pi \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\right)$

(A) $2.76 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{2}$

(B) $1.87 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{2}$

(C) $4.67 \times 10^{-47} \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{2}$

(A) $2.4 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m}$

(B) $1.9 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m}$

(C) $1.3 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m}$

(D) $4.4 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m}$

[JEE 2010]

Sol. (C)

Moment of inertia of CO molecule about centre of mass : $\mathrm{I}=\mu \mathrm{r}^{2}$ where $\mu=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{m}_{2}}{\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}}$

Q. The wavelength of the first spectral line in the Balmer series of hydrogen atom is 6561 Å. The wavelength of the second spectral line in the Balmer series of singly-ionized helium atom is ?

Sol. (A)

Q. The radius of the orbit of an electron in a Hydrogen-like atom is 4.5 a0, where a0 is the Bohr radius. Its orbital angular momentum is $\frac{3 \mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}$. It is given that h is Planck constant and R is Rydberg constant. The possible wavelength (s), when the atom de-excites, is (are) :-

(A) $\frac{9}{32 \mathrm{R}}$

(B) $\frac{9}{16 \mathrm{R}}$

(C) $\frac{9}{\text { sR }}$

(D) $\frac{4}{3 \mathrm{R}}$

Sol. (A,C)

for $\mathrm{n}=2$ to $\mathrm{n}=1 \quad \frac{1}{\lambda}=4 \mathrm{R}\left[\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{4}\right] \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3}{\mathrm{R}}$

Q. Consider a hydrogen atom with its electron in the nth orbital. An electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 90 nm is used to ionize the atom. If the kinetic energy of the ejected electron is 10.4 eV, then the value of n is (hc = 1242 eV nm).

Sol. 2

$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ph}}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}=\frac{1242}{90}=13.8 \mathrm{eV}$

$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Ph}}=\Delta \mathrm{E}+(\mathrm{K.E.})$

$13.8=\Delta \mathrm{E}+10.4$

$\Delta E=3.4 \mathrm{eV}$

so electron initially was in n = 2

Q. Highly excited states for hydrogen like atoms (also called Rydberg states) with nuclear charge Ze are defined by their principal quantum number n, where n >> 1. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?

(A) Relative change in the radii of two consecutive orbitals does not depend on Z

(C) Relative change in the energy of two consecutive orbitals varies as $1 / \mathrm{n}^{3}$

(D) Relative change in the angular momenta of two consecutive orbitals varies as 1/n

Sol. (A,B,D)

As radius $\mathrm{r} \propto \frac{\mathrm{n}^{2}}{\mathrm{z}}$

as energy $\mathrm{E} \propto \frac{\mathrm{z}^{2}}{\mathrm{n}^{2}}$

Q. A hydrogen atom in its ground state is irradiated by light of wavelength 970 $\hat{\mathbf{A}}$. Taking

hc/e = $1.237 \times 10^{-6}$ eV m and the ground state energy of hydrogen atom as –13.6 eV, the number of lines present in the emission spectrum is ?

Sol. 6

Q. An electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from an orbit with quantum number $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}$ to another with quantum number $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{f}} \cdot \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}$ and $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}$ are respectively the initial and final potential energies of the electron.

Q. Let A be a 2 × 2 matrix

Statement- $1: \operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)=A$

Statement-2: $|$ adj $A|=| A |$

(1) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is false.

(2) Statement–1 is false, Statement–2 is true.

(3) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true;Statement–2 is a correct explanation for Statement–1.

(4) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true; Statement–2 is not a correct explanation for statement–1.

[AIEEE- 2009]

Sol. (4)

Let $A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)$

$\operatorname{adj}(\mathrm{A})=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{\mathrm{d}} & {-\mathrm{b}} \\ {-\mathrm{c}} & {\mathrm{a}}\end{array}\right)$

$\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)=A$ statement is right

Statement 2 We know $\mathrm{A}$ adj $(\mathrm{A})=|\mathrm{A}| \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{n}}$ taking determinant $|\mathrm{A} \cdot \operatorname{adj}(\mathrm{A})|=\| \mathrm{A}\left|\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{n}}\right|$

$\Rightarrow|\operatorname{adj}(\mathrm{A})|=|\mathrm{A}|^{\mathrm{n}-1}$

Here $\mathrm{n}=2$ (order)

so $|\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A}||\mathrm{A}|^{2-1}=|\mathrm{A}|$

so statement 2 is also true and 2 is not explanation for statement 1

Q. The number of 3× 3 non-singular matrices, with four entries as 1 and all other entries as 0, is :-

(1) Less than 4            (2) 5             (3) 6              (4) At least 7

[AIEEE-2010]

Sol. (4)

Q. Let A be a $2 \times 2$ matrix with non-zero entries and let $\mathrm{A}^{2}=\mathrm{I},$ where I is $2 \times 2$ identity matrix. Define $\operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{A})=$ sum of diagonal elements of $\mathrm{A}$ and $|\mathrm{A}|=$ determinant of matrix $\mathrm{A}$. Statement- $1: \operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{A})=0$

Statement-2: $|\mathrm{A}|=1$

(1) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true; Statement–2 is a correct explanation for

Statement–1.

(2) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true; Statement–2 is not a correct explanation for

statement–1.

(3) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is false.

(4) Statement–1 is false, Statement–2 is true.

[AIEEE-2010]

Sol. (3)

Statement 1:

Let $\mathrm{A}=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{\mathrm{a}} & {\mathrm{b}} \\ {\mathrm{c}} & {\mathrm{d}}\end{array}\right) \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d},$ are non zero

$A^{2}=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{1} & {0} \\ {0} & {1}\end{array}\right)$

$\Rightarrow a^{2}+b c=1$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{ab}+\mathrm{bd}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{d})=0$

so $\mathrm{b} \neq 0,(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{d})=0$

$a+d=0 \Rightarrow \operatorname{tr}(A)=0$

Statement 2:

$|A|=a d-b c=-a^{2}-b c=-\left(a^{2}+b c\right)=-1$

So Statement 2 is false.

Q. Let A and B be two symmetric matrices of order 3.

Statement-1 : A(BA) and (AB)A are symmetric matrices.

Statement-2 : AB is symmetric matrix if matrix multiplication of A with B is commutative.

(1) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

(2) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true

(3) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

(4) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

[AIEEE-2011]

Sol. (4)

$A^{T}=A$

$\mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B}$

Statement- 1 $(\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{BA}))^{\mathrm{T}}=(\mathrm{BA})^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}$ $=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{BA}) \rightarrow \text { symmetric }$

$((\mathrm{AB}) \mathrm{A}))^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=(\mathrm{AB}) \mathrm{A} \rightarrow$ symmetric

Statement – 1 is true

Statement- 2:

$(\mathrm{AB})^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{A}$

if $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{A}$ then

$(\mathrm{AB})^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{AB}$

Statement- 2 is true

but Not a correct expalnation.

Q. Statement-1 : Determinant of a skew-symmetric matrix of order 3 is zero.

Statement-1 : For any matrix A, det(AT) = det(A) and det(–A) = –det(A).

Where det(B) denotes the determinant of matrix B. Then :

(1) Statement-1 is true and statement-2 is false

(2) Both statements are true

(3) Both statements are false

(4) Statement-1 is false and statement-2 is true.

[AIEEE-2011]

Sol. (1)

Statement- 1: The value of determinant of skew symmetric matrix of odd order is always zero. So Statement-I. is true. Statement-II : This Statement is not always true depends on the order of matrix. $|-A|=-|A|$ if order is odd, so Statement–II is wrong. Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false.

Q. Let $\mathrm{A}=\left(\begin{array}{lll}{1} & {0} & {0} \\ {2} & {1} & {0} \\ {3} & {2} & {1}\end{array}\right) .$ If $\mathrm{u}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{u}_{2}$ are column matrices such that $\mathrm{Au}_{1}=\left(\begin{array}{l}{1} \\ {0} \\ {0}\end{array}\right)$ and $\mathrm{Au}_{2}=\left(\begin{array}{l}{0} \\ {1} \\ {0}\end{array}\right),$ then $\mathrm{u}_{1}+\mathrm{u}_{2}$ is equal to :
