What is the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of 0.98 T and a temperature of 2.8 K? (Assume Curie’s law).
14. In a double slit experiment, the angular width of the fringe is found to be 0.2° on a screen placed 1 m away. The wavelength of light used is 600 nm. What will be the angular width of the fringe, if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? Take refractive index of water to be 4/3.

Or
A Cassegrain telescope uses two mirrors as shown in figure below. Such a telescope is built with the mirrors 20 mm apart. If the radius of curvature of the large mirror is 220 mm and of the small mirror is 140 mm, then where will the final image of an object at infinity be?
17. A photosensitive metallic surface has work function hv0. If photons of energy 2 hv0 fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of 4 x 106 m/s. When the photon of energy is increased to 5 hvQ, what will be the maximum velocity of photo-electron?
18. A proton and an alpha particle of the same velocity enters in d a region of uniform magnetic field acting in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. Deduce the ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by the particles. Explain, why the kinetic energy of the particle after emerging from the magnetic field remains unaltered.
19. What is space wave propagation? Which two communication methods make use of this mode of propagation? If the sum of the heights of transmitting and receiving antennas in line of sight of communication is fixed at h, show that the range is maximum when the two antenna have a height h/2 each.
22.In the Auger process, an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom (this is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive, calculate the kinetic energy of an n = 4 Auger electron emitted by chromium by absorbing the energy from a n = 2ton =1 transition.
Section D
23.One child found that a comb attracts the small pieces of paper after it get passed through hair. He wanted to know its reason that by what phenomenon it happens, but no one made him understand the same or did not answered satisfactorily. Next day he got ready for the school more early as he was eager to know the answer of the question which was disturbing him. As soon as he reached the school he asked the question from his teacher and got satisfied with the answer. He continued his day happily.
- Write about the child’s nature. What answer could be given by the teacher?
- Write basic properties of Electric charge.
- A polythene piece rubbed with the wool is found to have a negative charge of 3×107 C. Estimate the numbers of electrons transferred.
Section E
Or
