In a Geiger-Marsden experiment, calculate the distance of closest approach to the nucleus of Z = 80, when a α-particle of 8Mev energy impinges on it before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction.

How will the distance of closest approach be affected when the kinetic energy of the α-particle is doubles?

In a Geiger-Marsden experiment, calculate the distance of closest approach to the nucleus of Z = 75, when a α-particle of 5 MeV energy impinges on it before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction.

How will the distance of closest approach be affected when the kinetic energy of the α-particle is doubles?

How are X-rays produced?

Which part of electromagnetic spectrum is used in radar systems?

A coil Q is connected to low voltage bulb B and placed near another coil P as shown in the figure. Give reasons to explain the following observations:

(a) The bulb ‘B’ lights

(b) Bulb gets dimmer if the coil Q is moved towards left.

State Huygens’s principle. Show, with the help of a suitable diagram, how this principle is used to obtain the diffraction pattern by a single slit.

Draw a plot of intensity distribution and explain clearly why the secondary maxima becomes weaker with increasing order (n) of the secondary maxima.

Huygens' principle of secondary wavelets may be used to

(a) find the velocity of light in vacuum

(b) explain the particle behaviour of light

(c) find the new position of a wavefront

(d) explain Snell's Law

Light waves travel in vacuum along the X-axis. Which of the following may represent the wave fronts?

One of your friends says that he has read in the previous chapters that there can be no electric field inside a conductor. Consequently, there can be no current through it. What is the fallacy of this argument?

A fan with copper winding in its motor consumes less power compared to a similar fan with aluminium winding. Explain.

Does a conductor become charged when a current is passed through it?

The amount of charge that passes in time t through a cross-section of a wire is
Q(t) = At² + Bt + C.

(a) Write the dimensional formulae for A, B and C.
(b) If the numerical values of A, B and C are 5, 3 and 1, respectively, in S.I units, find the value of the current at t = 5 s.

Take the potential of the point B in figure to be zero. (a) Find the potentials at the points C and D. (b) If a capacitor is connected between C and D, what charge will appear on this capacitor?

The particle P shown in figure has a mass of 10 mg and a charge of −0⋅01 µC. Each plate has a surface area 100 cm² on one side. What potential difference V should be applied to the combination to hold the particle P in equilibrium?

An iron needle is attracted to the ends of a bar magnet but not to the middle region of the magnet. Is the material making up the ends of a bare magnet different from that of the middle  region?

Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other forces, the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases. Does it contradict our earlier knowledge that magnetic forces cannot do any work and hence cannot increase kinetic energy of a system?

A bar magnet of length 1 cm and cross-sectional area 1.0 cm² produces a magnetic field of 1.5 × 10⁻⁴ T at a point in end-on position at a distance 15 cm away from the centre.
