PRACTICE QUESTIONS

1 With a neat and clean diagram explain the working of galvanometer .


Explain current and voltage sensitivity . Explain how we can convert galvanometer into
ammeter .
2 State Gauss’s theorem in electrostatics. Use it to derive an expression for the electric
field due to
an infinite straight uniformly charged thin wire having linear charge density λ C/m.
3 Show that the density of nucleus over a wide range of nuclei is constant-
independent of mass number
Define the term ‘mass defect’ of a nucleus. How is it related with its binding
energy?
4 How will the De Broglie wavelength associated with an electron be affected when
the (i) velocity
of the electron decreases? and (ii) accelerating potential is increased? Justify your
answer
5 Using Bohr’s second postulate of quantization of orbital angular momentum show
that the circumference of the electron in the nth orbital state in hydrogen atom is n
times the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it.

for the formation of image by a compound microscope. Why must both the objective
and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal lengths ?
7 a)State any two properties of electromagnetic waves.
(b)Identify the electromagnetic waves whose wavelengths lie in the range
(i) 10−11 𝑚<𝜆< 10−14 𝑚 (ii) 10−4 𝑚<𝜆< 10−6 𝑚 . Write one use of each.
8 (a) Derive the relation a sin ϴ = 𝜆 for the first minimum of the diffraction pattern
produced due to
a single slit of width ‘a’ using light of wavelength 𝜆.
(b) State with reason, how the linear width of central maximum will be affected if
(i) monochromatic
yellow light is replaced with red light, and (ii) distance between the slits and the
screen is increased
