Section – A

Question 1.
Show that maximum intensity in interference pattern is four times the intensity due to each slit. Hence show that interference involves only redistribution of energy.
Answer:
Suppose the amplitude of waves from each slit is a. Therefore, intensity due to each slit = a2.
When interference is destructive,
∴ Minimum intensity =(a – a)2 = 0
When interference is constructive,
∴ Maximum intensity = (a + a)2 = (2a)2 = 4a2 = 4 times the intensity due to each slit, which was to be proved.
Also average intensity in the interference pattern = \(\frac{0+4 a^{2}}{2}\) = 2a2 = sum of intensities due to two slits .
Hence we conclude that interference involves only redistribution of energy keeping the total energy fixed.

Answer:
There are two types of dopants:
(i) Pentavalent dopant: The elements whose each atom has five valence electrons are known as pentavalent dopants. For example, Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Phosphorus (P), etc.
(ii) Trivalent dopant: The elements whose each atom has three valence electrons are known as trivalent dopants. For example, Indium (In), Gallium (Ga), Aluminium (Al), etc.

Question 4.
A parallel beam of light of 450 nm falls on a narrow slit and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 1-5 m away. It is observed that the first minimum is at a distance of 3 mm from the centre of the screen. Calculate the width of the slit.
Answer:
The distance of the nth minimum from the centre of the screen,
xn = \(\frac{n \mathrm{D} \lambda}{a}\)
Where, D = Distance of slit from screen.
λ = Wavelength of the light.
a = Width of the slit.
For first minimum, n = 1
x1 = 3 × 10-3 m
D = 1.5 m
λ = 450 × 10-9 m
3 × 10-3 = \(\frac{1 \times(1 \cdot 5) \times\left(450 \times 10^{-9}\right)}{a}\)
a = \(\frac{1 \times(1.5) \times\left(450 \times 10^{-9}\right)}{3 \times 10^{-3}}\)
a = 0.225 mm

Question 5.
Find the de-Broglie wavelength associated with an electron moving with a velocity of 0.5 c and rest mass 9.1 × 10-31 kg. [Given h = 6.6 × 10-34 Js and c = 3 × 108 ms-1]
Answer:
Given,
Velocity of electron, υ = 0.5 c = 0.5 × 3 × 108 = 1.5 × 108 ms-1.
Mass of electron = \(\frac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}\)
= \(\frac{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}{\sqrt{1-(0.5)^{2}}}\)
\(\frac{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}{\sqrt{0.75}}\) = 10.51 × 10-31 kg

de-Broglie wavelength, λ = \(\frac{h}{m v}\)
= \(\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{10.51 \times 10^{-31} \times 1.5 \times 10^{8}}\)
= 0.4187 × 10-11 m
= 0.04187 Å.

Question 6.
Following data was recorded for values of object distance and the corresponding values of image distance, in the study of real image formation by a convex lens of power +5 D. One of these observations is incorrect. Identify and give reason:
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Physics Term 2 Set 5 with Solutions 1
Answer:
Here, P = + 5D
f = \(\frac{100}{P}=\frac{100}{5}\)
= 20 cm
In observation 3, where u = 35 cm, object lies between f and 2f. The image must be beyond 2f, i.e., υ > 40 cm. But υ = 37 cm, i.e., image also lies between/and 2f which is wrong.

Question 7.
In a typical nuclear reaction, e.g.,
\({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}\) + \({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}\) → \({ }_{2}^{3} \mathrm{He}\) + \({ }_{0}^{1} n\) + 3.27 MeV,
although number of nucleons is conserved, yet energy is released. How? Explain.
Answer:
In a given nuclear reaction, the sum of the masses of the target nucleus (\({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}\)) and the bombarding particle (\({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}\)) may be greater than the product nucleus (\({ }_{2}^{3} \mathrm{He}\)) and the outgoing neutron \({ }_{0}^{1} n\). So from the law of conservation of mass – energy some energy (3.27 MeV) is released due to mass defect in the , nuclear reaction. This energy is called Q – value of the nuclear reaction.

(b) The above figure shows a solid glass sphere of radius 5 cm that has a small air bubble B trapped at a distance 2 cm from the centre C. The refractive index of the material of glass is 1.5. Find the apparent position of the bubble where it will appear, when seen through the surface of the sphere from an outside point E.
Answer:
Consider an object O placed in a liquid. A ray of light OA is incident along the normal to the surface of the liquid. Another ray OB, on entering from air to water bends away from the normal. The two refracting rays appear to come from point I, therefore, object though lying at depth OA, appears to be at depth AI. Accordingly, AO is called ‘real depth’ and AI is called ‘apparent depth’ of the object O.
The refractive index of the medium air V with respect to liquid ‘l’ is given by

(a) InΔAOL, tan C = \(\frac{\mathrm{AO}}{\mathrm{OL}}\)
⇒ AO = OL tan C
⇒ r = 20 tan C
Also, μ = \(\frac{1}{\sin C}\)
or sin C \(\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{1 \cdot 5}=\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ tan C = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\)
Thus, r = 20 × \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\)
Therefore, the required surface area,
A = πr2
or A = π × \(\frac{40 \times 40}{5}\) = 320π cm2 = 1005.71 cm2.

(b) Since, \(\frac{n}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{n-1}{\mathrm{R}}\)
Where, n = gµg = \(\frac{1}{{ }_{a} \mu_{g}}=\frac{1}{1 \cdot 5}=\frac{2}{3}\)
Also u = -(5 – 2)
= -3 cm
and R = -5 cm
Thus \(\frac{2 / 3}{v}-\frac{1}{-3}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}-1}{-5}\)
On solving υ = – 2.5 cm.
Thus, the apparent position of the bubble will be 2-5 cm inside the sphere from the centre.

Substituting ni = 2, 3, 4, 5, we get λ21 = 1218 Å, λ31 = 1028 Å, λ41 = 974.3 Å and λ51 = 951.4 Å.

Question 10.
Consider a two slit interference arrangement, (figure) such that the distance of the screen from the slits is half the distance between the slits. Obtain the value of D in terms of X such that the first minima on the screen falls at a distance D from the centre O.

Answer:
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Physics Term 2 Set 5 with Solutions 8
As it is clear from figure,
T2P = TO + OP = S2C + OP = D + x
T1P =OT1 – OP = CS1 – OP = D – x
Now, S1P = \(\sqrt{S_{1} \mathrm{~T}_{1}^{2}+\mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{P}^{2}}\) = [D2 + (D – x)2]1/2
and S2P = \(\sqrt{\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{~T}_{2}^{2}+\mathrm{T}_{2} \mathrm{P}^{2}}\) = [D2 + (D + x2)]1/2
Path difference between the waves reaching P from S1 and S2
= S2P- S1P
= [D2 + (D + x)2]1/2 – [D2 + (D – x)2]1/2
For first minimum to fall at P, n = 1
Path duff. = S2P – S1P = \(\frac{1}{2}\)λ
or [D2 + (D + x)2]1/2 – [D2 + (D – x)2]1/2 = \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
if x = D
[D2 + 4D2]11/2 – D = \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
D(√5 – 1) = \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
D(2.236 – 1) = \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
or D = \(\frac{\lambda}{2.472}\).

(b) Given: E0 = 40 Vm-1
Energy density due to electric field = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ε0\(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{rms}}^{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)ε0(\(\frac{\mathrm{E}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}\))2 = \(\frac{1}{4}\)ε0\(\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 8.85 × 10-12 (40)2
