I. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS : 𝟒 × 𝟐 = 𝟖𝑴
1. Explain the formation of the fringes due to diffraction at a single slit, when path difference of light waves from the ends of the slit on reaching a point on the screen is 3 (a) , and (b) 2 2. a) Draw graphs showing variation of photoelectric current with applied voltage for two incident radiations of equal frequency and different intensities. Mark the graph for the radiation of higher intensity b) Name the phenomenon which shows the quantum nature of electromagnetic radiation 3. The wavelength of a photon is and the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron have the same value. Show that energy of a photon is( 2 mc / h ) times the kinetic energy of electron; where m, c and h have their usual meaning 4. Calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron orbiting in the n = 2 state of hydrogen atom II. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 𝟒 × 𝟑 = 𝟏𝟐𝑴 5. a) In Young’s double slit experiment, two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed 1m away from the slits. Calculate the fringe width when light of wavelength 500 nm is used. b) What should be the width of each slit in order to obtain 10 maxima of the double slit pattern within the central maximum of the single slit pattern? 6. Two harmonic waves of monochromatic light y1 a cos t and y2 a cos t are superimposed on each other. Show that maximum intensity in interfacerence pattern is four times the intensity due to each slit. Hence write the conditions for constructive and destructive interference in terms of the phase angle . 7. State two important properties of proton which are used to write Einstein’s photoelectric equation. Define (i) stopping potential and (ii) threshold frequency, using Einstein’s equation and drawing necessary plot between relevant quantities 8. Sketch the graphs showing variation of stopping potential with frequency of incident radiations for two photosensitive materials A and B having threshold frequencies v A vB a) In which case is the shopping potential more and why? b) Does the slope of the graph depend on the nature of the material used? Explain III. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS : 𝟏 × 𝟓 = 𝟓𝑴 9. a) Define a wavefront. Using Huygen’s principle, verify the law’s of reflection at a plane surface. b) In a single slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made double the original width. How does this affect the size and intensity of the central diffraction band? Explain. c) When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from a distant source, a bright spot is seen at the centre of the obstacle. Explain why? ****** ALL THE BEST ****** 1
