\nAnswer :
\nAccording to the Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom, the angular momentum of a revolving electron is given by
\n\"CBSE
\nHere, m = Mass of the electron
\nv = Velocity of the electron
\nr = Radius of the orbit
\nh = Planck’s constant
\nn = Principal quantum number of the atom
\nIf an electron of mass m and velocity v is moving in a circular orbit of radius r, then the centripetal force required is given by

Question 8.
\nDistinguish between ‘intrinsic’ and ‘extrinsic’ semiconductors. [2]
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. It is pure semicondu\u00adcting material with no impurity atoms added to it.<\/td>\n1. It is prepared by doping\u00a0 small quantity of impurity atoms to the pure semiconductor.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. The number of free electrons in the conduction band and the number of holes in valence band is exactly equal.<\/td>\n2. The number of free electrons and holes is neve equal. There is an excess of electrons in n-type semiconductors and an excess of holes p-type semiconductors.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Its electrical conductivity is a function of tempera\u00adture alone.<\/td>\n3. Its electrical conductivity depends upon the temperature and the amount of impurity added in them, to it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Question 9.
\nUse the mirror equation to show that an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f. [2]
\nOR
\nFind an expression for intensity of transmitted light when a Polaroid sheet is rotated between two crossed Polaroids. In which position of the Polaroid sheet will the transmitted intensity be maximum ?
\nAnswer:
\nmirror equation is
\n\\(\\frac{1}{f}=\\frac{1}{u}+\\frac{1}{v}\\)<\/p>\n

Where u is the distance of object from the mirror, v is the distance of image from the mirror and f is the focal length of the mirror. For a concave mirror f is negative i.e. f < 0, u < 0 For a real object (on the left of mirror)
\n\"CBSE
\nThis implies that v is negative and greater than 2f This means that the image lies beyond 2f.
\n\"CBSE
\nLet us consider two crossed polarisers P1<\/sub> and P2<\/sub> with a polaroid sheet P3<\/sub> placed between them. Let I0<\/sub> be the intensity of polarised light after passing through the first polarizer P1<\/sub>. If \u03b8 is the angle between the axes of P1<\/sub> and P3<\/sub>, then the intensity of the polarized light after passing through P3<\/sub> will be I = I0<\/sub> cos2<\/sup> \u03b8 .
\nAs P1<\/sub> and P2<\/sub> are crossed. The angle between the axes of P1<\/sub> and P2<\/sub> = 90\u00b0.
\nAngle between the axes of P1<\/sub> and P3<\/sub> = (90\u00b0 – \u03b8) The intensity of light emerging from P2<\/sub> will be given by

\nQuestion 10.
\nUse Kirchhoff’s rules to obtain conditions for the balance condition in a Wheatstone bridge. [2]
\nAnswer :
\nLet us consider a Wheatstone bridge arrangement as shown below :
\nWheatstone bridge is a special bridge type circuit which consists of four resistances, a galvanometer and a battery. It is used to determine unknown resistance.<\/p>\n

In figure four resistance P, Q, R and S are connected in the form of four arms of a quadrilateral. Let the current given by battery in the balanced position be I. This current on reaching point A is divided into two parts I1<\/sub> and I2<\/sub> . As there is no current in galvanometer in balanced state, therefore, current in resistances P and Q is Ii and in resistances R and S it is I2<\/sub> .
