A beam of monochromatic radiation is incident on a photosensitive surface. Answer the following question giving reason :

A plane wavefront propagating in a medium of refractive index 'μ₁' is incident on a plane surface making the angle of incidence 'i' as shown in the figure. It enters into a medium of refractive index 'μ₂' (μ₂ > μ₁). Use Huygens' construction of secondary wavelets to trace the propagation of the refracted wavefront. Hence verify Snell's law of refraction.

In the circuit shown in the figure, find the total resistance of the circuit and the current in the arm AD.

Show with the help of a diagram how the force between the two conductors would change when the currents in them flow in the opposite directions?

In photoelectric effect, why should the photoelectric current increase as the intensity of monochromatic radiation incident on a photosensitive surface is increased? Explain.

 In a typical nuclear reaction, e.g.

`"_1^2H+"_1^2H ->"_2^3He + n + 3.27 \text { MeV },`

although number of nucleons is conserved, yet energy is released. How? Explain.

Figure shows a rectangular loop conducting PQRS in which the arm PQ is free to move. A uniform magnetic field acts in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Arm PQ is moved with a velocity v towards the arm Rs. Assuming that the arms QR, RS and SP have negligible resistances and the moving arm PQ has the resistance r, obtain the expression for (i) the current in the loop (ii) the force and (iii) the power required to move the arm PQ.

How does the mutual inductance of a pair of coils change when

(i) distance between the coils is increased and

(ii) number of turns in the coils is increased?

The motion of copper plate is damped when it is allowed to oscillate between the two poles of a magnet. What is the cause of this damping?

Draw the plot of binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) as a functino of mass number A. Write two important conclusions that can be drawn regarding the nature of nuclear force.

Two identical circular wires P and Q each of radius R and carrying current ‘I’ are kept in perpendicular planes such that they have a common centre as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at the common centre of the two coils.

Two long straight parallel conductors carrying steady currents I₁ and I₂ are separated by a distance 'd'. Explain briefly, with the help of a suitable diagram, how the magnetic field due to one conductor acts on the other. Hence deduce the expression for the force acting between the two conductors. Mention the nature of this force.
