ANSWER :
Capacitance of the capacitor is given by-C= εΑ/d
i) After the introduction of dielectric slab, capacitance becomes,
C= ΚεΑ

6. Which segment of EM waves lie near the high frequency end of visible part of EM spectrum?Give its one use. In what way this component of light has harmful effect on humans? (1/2, 1/2,1)
Answer: Ultra-Violet waves. These waves are used to kill bacteria. Ultra-Violet waves can cause skin cancer.
7. Photoelectric effect cannot be explained on the basis of wave nature of light. Why?
Answer:
1. According to wave theory, after the light falls on a substance electrons are emitted after a small instant of time. However, in photoelectric effect, the electron emissions are immediate without a time delay.
2. The energy of a wave increases with increase in intensity. However, in photoelectric effect, increase in intensity has no effect on the energy of electrons emitted. All that happens is the number of electrons emitted, increases.
OR

9. Discuss the principle of potentiometer. Explain how will you compare EMF of two primary cells using a potentiometer?
Ans. A potentiometer works on the principle that potential difference across any part of a uniform wire is directly proportional to the length of that part of the wire when a constant current flows through the wire.
Potentiometer uses null method i.e., no current is drawn by the galvanometer from the cell in the balanced condition of the potentiometer. Therefore it measures true e.m.f. of the cell. To compare e.m.f. of two cells, make the connections of shown in the following figure. Close the key K and note the deflection in Ammeter, keep this deflection constant till the end of experiment. Close the keys 1 and 3 and find the balance point say A. Note the length of wire OA = l1. Now, close the keys 2 and 3 and find the balance point B till the galvanometer gives no
deflection. Note OB = l2
Now
E1 l1
E2 l2
10. How can a galvanometer be converted into a voltmeter? Explain.
Ans : To convert a galvanometer into voltmeter a high resistance is connected in series with the Galvanometer.
let
G = resistance of the galvanometer
Ig = the current which produces full scale deflection in the
galvanometer.
R = high resistance connected in series with the galvanometer
V= p.d. to be measured by the voltmeter.
Ohm's law, we get
Ig =V/R+G
IgR + IgG = V
R = V- IgG/Ig
R= V/Ig - G

10. Long wire carries a steady Current I. It is bent into a circle of one turn and the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is B. Then it is bent into a circular coil of n turns. Find the magnetic field at the centre of the coil in the second case.
11. What do you understand by mutual induction? Derive an expression for the mutual inductance of two long coaxial solenoids having different radii and different number of turns.
Ans. Mutual induction. The phenomenon of producing current in a coil (or circuit)
changing current in a neighbouring coil (or circuit) is called mutual induction.
Magnetic flux associated with second coil $€I, where I is the current in first coil
$ = MI
M is called coefficient of mutual induction.
If
I = 1, then $ = M
Thus coefficient of mutual induction between two coils is numerically equal to the magnetic flux associated with one coil when unit current is passed through the other.

12. What do you mean by coherent sources of light? Write two conditions for two sources of light to be coherent.
Ans.
Coherent sources of light are those which emit continuous light waves of same frequency, same wavelength and having either same phase or constant phase difference.
The following conditions are necessary to obtain coherent sources of light :
(i) The two sources should give monochromatic light i.e., light of single wavelength
(ii) The path difference between light waves from two sources should be small
(iii) The coherent sources of light should be obtained from a single source so that the phas dfference between the two waves remains constant with time.

(b) How far is the third dark fringe the central fringe?
13. State the basic postulates of Bohr's theory of atomic model. Obtain an expression for radius of the orbit of electron.
Ans. According to Bohr :
An atom consists of a small, positively charged massive core called nucleus, around which electrons revolve. The centripetal force required for their rotation is provided by force of attractrons between the nucleus and electrons.
The orbiting electrons existed in orbits that had discrete quantized energies.
i) When an electron makes a jump, from one orbit to another, the energy difference is carried off by a single photon of light which has energy equal to the energy difference between the two orbits.
If E, and E2 are the energies associated with two permitted orbits, then the frequency v of the emitted or absorbed photon is given by
E2 - E1,
= hv
1) The permitted orbits, in which electron can revolve, depend on quantized values of orbital angular momentum L, according to equation
L = nh/2Pi
