In Young's double slit experiment, the two slits are 'd' distance apart. Interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance 'D' from the slits. A dark fringe is observed on a screen directly opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light is
A
2dD2
B
2Dd2
C
dD2
D
Dd2
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
S2P=(D2+d2)1/2=D[1+D2d2]1/2
Using binomial equation,
S2P=D[1+21D2d2]1/2=D+2Dd2
⇒ Path difference =2Dd2
For dark fringe, 2Dd2=2λ
∴λ=Dd2

A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength 'λ' and its emissive power is 'E' Now due to change in temperature of that body, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength 32λ. At that temperature emissive power is
A
1681
B

Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
From Stefan-Boltzmann's law,
P=dtdQ=AσT4
Also, from Wien's displacement law,
λmax=Tb(b→ Wien’s constant )⇒T=λb
∴P=A⋅σ(λb)4⇒P∝(λ)41
∴ Ratio of power dissipated is P1P2=(λ2λ1)4 Given λ1=λ and λ2=32λ
∴P1P2=(32λ)4(λ)4=1681

In the circuit given below, the current through inductor is 0.9A and through the capacitor is 0.6A. The current drawn from the a.c. source is
A
1.5 A
B
0.9 A
C
0.6 A
D

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
As the currents in an inductor and capacitor are out of phase by 180∘, we can write
Current through the capacitor IC=0.9A
Current through the inductor IL=−(0.6A)
∴ Total current drawn from the source =IC+IL=0.9−0.6=0.3A

A ball of mass 'm' is dropped from a height 's' on a horizontal platform fixed at the top of a vertical spring. The platform is depressed by a distance 'h'. The spring constant is ( g= acceleration due to gravity)
A
h22mg(s−h)
B
h22mg(s+h)
C
hmg(s−h)
D
hmg(s+h)
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
From the question, it can be understood that the total distance the ball falls is (S+h)
The spring is compressed through a length h
∴ Loss of P.E. by the ball =mg(S+h)
Work done on the spring =21Kh2
Using law of conservation of energy,
∴21Kh2=mg(S+h)K=h22mg(S+h)

Which of the following graphs between pressure (P) and volume (V) correctly shows isochoric changes?
A
D
B
B
C
C
D
A
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Isochoric processes are those in which the volume of the system remains constant. In a Pressure-Volume (P-V) graph, an isochoric process is represented by a vertical line because the volume does not change, while the pressure can vary.
Looking at the provided graph :
Graph A shows a diagonal line, indicating changes in both pressure and volume.
Graph B shows a horizontal line, indicating constant pressure, not constant volume. This represents an isobaric process.
Graph C shows a vertical line, which is characteristic of an isochoric process, where the volume remains constant while the pressure changes.
Graph D shows a curve, indicating that both pressure and volume are changing.
Therefore, the correct option that represents an isochoric process is :
Option C : C

A hollow metal pipe is held vertically and bar magnet is dropped through it with its length along the axis of the pipe. The acceleration of the falling magnet is ( g= acceleration due to gravity)
A
equal to g.
B
less than g.
C
more than g.

Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
As a bar magnet falls through the pipe, an emf is induced in the body of the pipe due to change in magnetic flux. However, the free fall of the magnet will be opposed due to the development of eddy currents in accordance with Lenz's law. This process continues till the bar magnet attains a constant terminal velocity.

At critical temperature, the surface tension of liquid is
A
zero
B
infinity
C
unity
D
same as that at any other temperature
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
At the critical temperature of a liquid, the surface tension becomes zero. This happens because at the critical temperature, the properties of the liquid and gas phases become indistinguishable, leading to the disappearance of the liquid-gas interface. Surface tension is a property that arises due to the difference in intermolecular forces between the liquid and gas phases. When these phases become indistinguishable at the critical point, there's no longer a distinct interface, and thus no surface tension.
Therefore, the correct answer is :
Option A : zero

How many moles of nitrogen atoms are present in 8g of ammonium nitrate?
(Molar mass of ammonium nitrate =80 )
A
0.1mol
B
0.2mol
C
0.4mol
D
0.8mol
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
To find out the number of moles of nitrogen atoms present in 8 g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3, we first need to calculate the number of moles of ammonium nitrate itself. We can do this using its molar mass.
The molar mass of ammonium nitrate is given as 80 g/mol.
Using the formula
Number of moles=Molar MassMass
We substitute the mass of ammonium nitrate and its molar mass and get
Number of moles of ammonium nitrate=80 g/mol8 gNumber of moles of ammonium nitrate=0.1 mol
Now, in one molecule of ammonium nitrate, there are two nitrogen atoms (one in the ammonium ion NH4+ and one in the nitrate ion NO3−.
To find the total number of moles of nitrogen atoms, we then need to multiply the number of moles of ammonium nitrate by the number of nitrogen atoms per molecule of ammonium nitrate.
Number of moles of nitrogen atoms=Number of moles of ammonium nitrate×Number of nitrogen atoms per moleculeNumber of moles of nitrogen atoms=0.1 mol×2Number of moles of nitrogen atoms=0.2 mol
Therefore, 8 g of ammonium nitrate contains 0.2 mol of nitrogen atoms. The correct answer is:
Option B
0.2mol
