14 .(d) there is a constant current in the counter clockwise 1

direction in A.
15 (c) 2:1 1

16 a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A 1

17. (b) Both statement I and II are true; but even it radiation of single 1
wavelength is incident on photosensitive surface, electrons of different
KE will be emitted
18 (b) Diffusion current is due to the migration of holes and electrons into 1
opposite regions, so it will be from p-side to n-side. Also in forward bias
it will increases.

Ascending order - λ2<λ3<λ1
Microwaves are used in radar systems. Its frequency range 1010 to 1012 Hz

 (b) Since em wave carries both energy and momentum, hence exerts
pressure on the surface on which it is incident.

An em wave exerts negligibly very small pressure on the surface on which

it is incident.

It is due to the fact that momentum of the photon is extremely small,

which can be
calculated by de-Broglie relation (λ=hp)

Direction of the magnetic field is towards negative direction of z-axis.

Expression for Lorentz magnetic force on a particle of charge ‘q’ moving with
velocity v⃗ in a magnetic field B⃗ is F⃗ = q(E⃗ + v⃗ × B⃗ )
Work done by a magnetic force on a charged particle :
The magnetic force F→=q(E→+v⃗ ×B→) always acts perpendicular to the
velocity v⃗ on the direction of motion of charge q.

Explanation of nuclear fission: When a heavy nucleus (A≥235say) breaks

into two lighter nuclei (nuclear fission), the binding energy per nucleon

4
increases i.e, nucleons get more tightly bound. This implies that energy
would be released in nuclear fission.
(iii) Explanation of nuclear fusion: When two very nuclei (A≤10) join to
form a heavy nucleus, the binding is energy per nucleon of fused heavier
nucleus more than the binding energy per nucleon of lighter nuclei, so
again energy would be released in nuclear fusion.

24 Snell’s law is explained by the laws of reflection and refraction of light at 2
an interface. Wave theory of light was introduced by Christian Huygens.
According to Snell’s law the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine
of angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of refractive index of second
medium to the first medium

(i) Wavefront : Wavefront is defined as the continuous locus of all such

particles of the medium which are vibrating in the same phase at any
instant.

(ii) We take a plane wavefront AB incident at a plane surface XY.

We use secondary wavelets starting at different times. We get
refracted wavefront only when the time taken by light to travel along
different rays from one wavefront to another is same. We take any
arbitrary ray starting from point ‘P’ on incident wavefront to
refracted wavefront at point ‘O’. Let total time be ‘t’.

As time should be independent of the ray to be considered

The coefficient of AO in the above equation should be zero

Where ’µ2 is called refractive index of medium 2 w.r.t. medium 1.

This is Snell’s law of refraction.

Or q = -3 × 104 × 8.85 × 10−12

= -26.55 × 10−8 𝐶

(ii) Same flux will pass through the Gaussian surface because
electric flux does not depend on the size of the Gaussian surface.

(i) According to Biot-Savart’s law, “magnetic field acting at a particular point
due to current carrying element is proportional to the division of cross product of
current element and position vector of point where the field is to be calculated
from the current element to the cube of the distance between current element and
the point where the field is to be calculated”.

 Paramagnetic Diamagnetic (i) The magnetic permeability of a
paramagnetic is slightly greater than one. (i) The permeability of a
diamagnetic substance is less than one. (ii) Paramagnetic substance are
those, which are attracted by a magnet feebly. Exarnple-Al,O2, Platinum,
chromium.
(ii) Diamagnetic substance is those which are repelled by a magnet

d) Dipole moment of charge system is as p . p =|q|×2a=|q|×2a , when dipole is

placed external uniform field E is in unstable equilibrium then θ=180∘θ=180∘
then potential energy (P -E) =−pEcosθ=-pEcosθ

32 (a)(From the graph, current is 1A corresponding to V = 0) 5
Variation of terminal voltage V of the cell with the current I is shown in
the graph below.
Emf of the cell = Intercept on V axis.
Internal resistance = slope of the line.

(c)Nichrome :
Nichrome wire gets heated up more because of higher resistivity of
nichrome.
ResistivityNI > ResistivityCu
(d)Using Kirchoff’s first law at junction E, we get
I3 = I3 + I2
In loop ABCDA, using Kirchoff’s second law, we get

16
80 – 20 I2 + 30 I1 = 0

So (-) sign of current indicates that the direction of current is opposite to

that as shown in the circuit diagram
OR
(a)

(b)Mobility. Mobility of electron p is defined as the magnitude of the drift

velocity per unit electric field E

(c)Kirchhoff’s rules.

1. Kirchhoff’s junction rule: At any junction, the sum of the

currents entering the junction is equal to the sum of currents
leaving the junction.
2. Kirchhoff’s loop rule: The algebraic sum of changes in
potential in any closed loop involving resistors and cells is
zero.

17
 3. These two laws are justified on the basis of law of conservation of
charge and the law of conservation of energy respectively.

33 (a) Young’s double slit experiment. The path difference between two rays 5
coming from holes S1 and S2 is (S2P – S1P). If point P corresponds to a
maximum,

If x, d << D, then negligible error will be introduced if (S2P + S1P) in the

denominator is replaced by 2D.

Thus, bright and dark bands appear on the screen. Such bands are called
‘fringes’.

18
These dark and bright fringes are equally spaced.

(a) Refracting telescope:
Magnifying power. It is defined as the ratio of angle (β) subtended by the
final image on the eye to the angle (α) subtended by object on eye.

Limitations of refracting telescope over a a reflecting type telescope :

1. It suffers from chromatic aberration due to refraction and

hence the image obtained is multicoloured and blurred.

1. It suffers from chromatic aberration due to refraction and

hence the image obtained is multicoloured and blurred.
2. As a lens of large apparatus can’t be manufactured easily, its
light gathering power is low and hence can’t be used to see
faint stars.
