Q1
Which mode of propagation is used by short wave broadcast services?
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Sky wave propagation: A radiowave directed towards the sky and reflected by the ionosphere towards the desired location on the earth is called a sky wave. Radiowavesof frequencies between2 MHz to 20 MHz can be reflected by the ionosphere. This range is also called as short wave band. This mode of propagation is used by short wave broadcast service.

Q2
Four nuclei of an element undergo fusion to form a heavier nucleus, with release of energy. Which of the two - the parent or the daughter nucleus - would have higher binding energy per nucleon?
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Nuclear fusion: The process in which two lighter nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus is called nuclear fusion.
The mass of the heavier nucleus formed is less than the sum of masses of the combining nuclei.
As, mass defect is more in daughter nuclei so binding energy per nucleon is more in daughter nuclei.

Q5
A proton and an electron travelling along parallel paths enter a region of uniform magnetic field, acting perpendicular to their paths. Which of them will move in a circular path with higher frequency?
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
As we know that when the charge particle enters into perpendicular magnetic field it moves along a circular path.
Since, electron has less mass so, electron will move with high frequency.

Q7
If light of wavelength 412.5 nm is incident on each of the metals given below, which ones will show photoelectric emission and why?
Metal
Work Function (eV)
Na
1.92
K
2.15
Ca
3.20
Mo
4.17
Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
Thus, metals having work-function less than the energy of photons of incident light will show photoelectric effect.
So Na and K will show photo electric effect.

Q10
(a). Why are infra-red waves are often called heat waves? Explain.
(b). What do you understand by the statement, "Electromagnetic waves transport momentum"?
Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
(a) Infra-red waves have frequencies lower than those of the visible light. They have the ability to vibrate not only the electrons but the entire atom or molecules of a body. This vibration increases the internal energy and temperature of the body.
(b) As electromagnetic wave contains both electric and magnetic fields, if charges are present they will have sustained motion by electric and magnetic fields of the em wave. The charges thus acquire energy and momentum from the waves. This just illustrates the fact that an electromagnetic wave carries energy and momentum.
If total energy transferred to a surface in time t is u, it can be shown that the magnitude of total momentum delivered to the surface
where, p is the momentum.
Electromagnetic wave transfer momentum but as
is very large so,the amount of momentum transferred is extremely small.
