Question 35.
(a) Discuss the working of cyclotron in detail.
Answer:
Cyclotron : Cyclotron is a device used accelerate the charged particles to gain large kinetic energy. It is also called as high energy accelerator. It was invented by Lawrence and Livingston in 1934.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 11

Principle : When a charged particle moves normal to the magnetic field, it experiences magnetic Lorentz force.

Construction : The particles are allowed to move in between two semicircular metal containers called Dees (hollow D – shaped objects). Dees are enclosed in an evacuated chamber and it is kept in a region with uniform magnetic field controlled by an electromagnet. The direction of magnetic field is normal to the plane of the are enclosed in an evacuated chamber and it is kept in a region with uniform magnetic field controlled by an electromagnet. The direction of magnetic field is normal to the plane of the Dees. The two Dees are kept separated with a gap and the source S (which ejects the particle to be accelerated) is placed at the center in the gap between the Dees. Dees are connected to high frequency alternating potential difference.

Working: Let us assume that the ion ejected from source S is positively charged. As soon as ion is ejected, it is accelerated towards a Dee (say, Dee – 1) which has negative potential at that time. Since the magnetic field is normal to the plane of the Dees, the ion undergoes circular path. After one semi-circular path in Dee-1, the ion reaches the gap between Dees. At this time, the polarities of the Dees are reversed so that the ion is now accelerated towards Dee-2 with a greater velocity. For this circular motion, the centripetal force of the charged particle q is provided by Lorentz force.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium

\(\frac { mv^{ 2 } }{ r } =qv{ B }\Rightarrow r=\frac { m }{ q{ B } } v\Rightarrow r\propto v\)
From the equation, the increase in velocity increases the radius of circular path. This process continues and hence the particle undergoes spiral path of increasing radius. Once it reaches near the Very important condition in cyclotron operation is the resonance condition. It happens when the frequency { at which the positive ion circulates in the magnetic field must be equal to the constant frequency of the electrical oscillator fosc From equation
\(f_{\text {osc }}=\frac{q \mathrm{B}}{2 \pi m} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}=\frac{1}{f_{\text {osc }}}\)
The time Period of oscillation is \(\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \pi m}{q \mathrm{B}}\)
The kinetic energy of the charged particle is \(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{q^{2} \mathrm{B}^{2} r^{2}}{2 m}\)

Limitations of cyclotron

  • the speed of the ion is limited
  • electron cannot be accelerated
  • uncharged particles cannot be accelerated

[OR]

(b) Give the uses of Foucault current.
Answer:
Though the production of eddy current is undesirable in some cases, it is useful in some other cases. A few of them are

(1) Induction stove : Induction stove is used to cook the food quickly and safely with less energy consumption. Below the cooking zone, there is a tightly wound coil of insulated wire. The cooking pan made of suitable material, is placed over the cooking zone. When the stove is switched on, an alternating current flowing in the coil produces high frequency alternating magnetic field which induces very strong eddy currents in the cooking pan. The eddy currents in the pan produce so much of heat due to Joule heating which is used to cook the food.

(2) Eddy current brake : This eddy current braking system is generally used in high speed trains and roller coasters. Strong electromagnets are fixed just above the rails. To stop the train, electromagnets are switched on. The magnetic field of these magnets induces eddy currents in the rails which oppose or resist the movement of the train. This is Eddy current linear brake.

In some cases, the circular disc, connected to the wheel of the train through a common shaft, is made to rotate in between the poles of an electromagnet. When there is a relative motion between the disc and the magnet, eddy currents are induced in the disc which stop the train. This is Eddy current circular brake.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium

(3) Eddy current testing : It is one of the simple non-destructive testing methods to find defects like surface cracks and air bubbles present in a specimen. A coil of insulated wire is given an alternating electric current so that it produces an alternating magnetic field. When this coil is brought near the test surface, eddy current is induced in the test surface. The presence of defects causes the change in phase and amplitude of the eddy current that can be detected by some other means. In this way, the defects present in the specimen are identified.

(4) Electro magnetic damping : The armature of the galvanometer coil is wound on a soft iron cylinder. Once the armature is deflected, the relative motion between the soft iron cylinder and the radial magnetic field induces eddy current in the cylinder. The damping force due to the flow of eddy current brings the armature to rest immediately and then galvanometer shows a steady deflection. This is called electromagnetic damping.

Question 36.
(a) Write down the properties of electromagnetic waves.
Answer:
Properties of electromagnetic waves:

  • Electromagnetic waves are produced by any accelerated charge.
  • Electromagnetic waves do not require any medium for propagation. So electromagnetic wave is a non-mechanical wave.
  • Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature. This means that the oscillating electric field vector, oscillating magnetic field vector and propagation vector (gives direction of propagation) are mutually perpendicular to each other.
  • Electromagnetic waves travel with speed which is equal to the speed of light in vacuum
    or free space, \(c=\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { \varepsilon _{ 0 }\mu _{ 0 } } } =3\times 10^{ 8 }{ ms }^{ -1 }\)

(b) Explain the Young’s double slit experimental setup and obtain the equation for path difference.
Answer:
Experimental setup
Wavefronts from S1 and S2 spread out and overlapping takes place to the right side of double slit. When a screen is placed at a distance of about 1 meter from the slits, alternate bright and dark fringes which are equally spaced appear on the screen. These are called interference fringes or bands.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 12
S1 and S2 travel equal distances and arrive in-phase. These two waves constructively interfere and bright fringe is observed at O. This is called central bright fringe.

The fringes disappear and there is uniform illumination on the screen when one of the slits is covered. This shows clearly that the bands are due to interference.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium

Equation for path difference
Let d be the distance between the double slits S1 and S2 which act as coherent sources of wavelength λ. A screen is placed parallel to the double slit at a distance D from it. The mid-point of S1 and S2 is C and the midpoint of the screen O is equidistant from S1 and S2. P is any point at a distance y  from O.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 13
The waves from S1 and S2 meet at P either inphase or out-of-phase depending upon the path difference between the two waves. The path difference S between the light waves from S1 and S2 to the point P is, δ = S2P and S1P
A perpendicular is dropped from the point S1, to the line S2P at M to find the path difference more precisely.
δ = S2P – MP = S2M
The angular position of the point P from C is θ. ∠OCP = θ.
From the geometry, the angles ∠OCP and ∠S2S1 M are equal.
∠OCP = ∠S2S1 M = θ
In right angle triangle ΔS1S2M, the path difference, S2M = d sin θ
δ = d sin θ
If the angle θ is small, sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ From the right angle triangle ΔOCP, tan θ = y/D. The path difference, δ =dy/D

Question  37.

Question 37.
(b) Explain the J.J. Thomson experiment to determine the specific charge of electron.
Answer:
In 1887, J. J. Thomson made remarkable improvement in the scope of study of gases in discharge tubes. In the presence of electric and magnetic fields, the cathode rays are deflected. By the variation of electric and magnetic fields, mass normalized charge or the specific charge (charge per unit mass) of the cathode rays is measured.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 15

A highly evacuated discharge tube is used and cathode rays (electron beam) produced at cathode are attracted towards anode disc A. Anode disc is made with pin hole in order to allow only a narrow beam of cathode rays. These cathode rays are now allowed to pass through the parallel metal plates, maintained at high voltage. Further, this gas discharge tube is kept in between pole pieces of magnet such that both electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other. When the cathode rays strike the screen, they produce scintillation and hence bright spot is observed. This is achieved by coating the screen with zinc sulphide.

(i) Determination of velocity of cathode rays
For a fixed electric field between the plates, the magnetic field is adjusted such that the cathode rays (electron beam) strike at the original position O. This means that the magnitude of electric force is balanced by the magnitude of force due to magnetic field. Let e be the charge of the cathode rays, then eE = eBv
\(v=\frac{E}{B}\) …………….. (1)
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 16

(ii) Determination of specific charge
Since the cathode rays (electron beam) are accelerated from cathode to anode, the potential energy of the electron beam at the cathode is converted into kinetic energy of the electron beam at the anode. Let V be the potential difference between anode and cathode, then the potential energy is eV. Then from law of conservation of energy,
\(e \mathrm{V}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{e}{m}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 \mathrm{V}}\)
Substituting the value of velocity from equation (1) , we get
\(\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{V}} \frac{\mathrm{E}^{2}}{\mathrm{B}^{2}}\) ………..(2)
Substituting the value of E ,B and V, the specific charge vam be determined as
\(\frac{e}{m}=1.7 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Ckg}^{-1}\)

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium

(iii) Deflection of charge only due to uniform electric field
When the magnetic field is turned off, the deflection is only due to electric field. The
deflection in vertical direction is due to the electric force.
Fe = eE ………………….. (3)
Let m be the mass of the electron and by applying Newton’s second law of motion,
acceleration of the electron is
\(a_{e}=\frac{1}{m} \mathrm{F}_{e}\) ………………… (4)
Substituting equation (4) in equation (3),
\(a_{e}=\frac{1}{m} e E=\frac{e}{m} E\)
Let y be the deviation produced from original position on the screen. Let the initial upward velocity of cathode ray be μ = 0 before entering the parallel electric plates. Let l be the time taken by the cathode rays to travel in electric field. Let l be the length of one of the plates, then the time taken is
\(t=\frac{l}{v}\) …………(5)
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 17
Hence, the deflection y’ of cathod rays is( note : u = 0 and \(a_{e}=\frac{e}{m} \mathrm{E}\))
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 18
Therefore, the deflection y on the screen is
y α y’ ⇒ y = Cy’
where C is proportionality constant which depends on the geometry of the discharge tube and substituting y’ value in equation (6), we get
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 4 English Medium 19
Substituting the values on RHS, the value of specific charge is calculated as
e/m = 1.7 x 1011Ckg-1

Question 38.
(a) What is an LED? Give the principle of operation with a diagram.
Answer:
Light Emitting Diode (LED): LED is a p-n junction diode which emits visible or invisible light when it is forward biased. Since, electrical energy is converted into light energy, this process is also called electroluminescence. The cross-sectional view of a commercial LED is shown in figure (b). It consists of a p-layer, n-layer and a substrate. A transparent window is used to allow light to travel in the desired direction. An external resistance in series with the biasing source is required to limit the forward current through the LED. In addition, it has two leads; anode and cathode.

When the p-n junction is forward biased, the conduction band electrons on n-side and valence band holes on p-side diffuse across the junction. When they cross the junction, they become excess minority carriers (electrons in p-side and holes in n-side). These excess minority carriers recombine with oppositely charged majority carriers in the respective regions, i.e. the. electrons in the conduction band recombine with holes in the valence band as shown in the figure (c). During recombination process, energy is released in the form of light (radiative) or heat (non-radiative). For radiative recombination, a photon of energy hv is emitted. For non- radiative recombination, energy is liberated in the form of heat.

The colour of the light is determined by the energy band gap of the material. Therefore, LEDs are available in a wide range of colours such as blue (SiC), green (AlGaP) and red (GaAsP). Now a days, LED which emits white light (GalnN) is also available.

Eg:
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 10 Types of Chemical Reactions 5

Question 2.
Explain the types of double displacement reactions with examples.
Answer:
There are two major classes of double displacement reactions. They are,
(i) Precipitation Reactions: When aqueous solutions of two compounds are mixed, if they react to form an insoluble compound and a soluble compound, then it is called precipitation reaction.
\(\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \mathrm{KI}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \rightarrow \mathrm{PbI}_{2(\mathrm{s})} \downarrow+2 \mathrm{KNO}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}\)

(ii) Neutralisation Reactions: Another type of displacement reaction in which the acid reacts with the base to form a salt and water. It is called ‘neutralisation reaction’ as both acid and base neutralize each other.
\(\mathrm{NaOH}_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\).

Question 3.
Explain the factors influencing the rate of a reaction.
Answer:
Important factors that affect rate of a reaction are:

  1. Nature of the reactants
  2. Concentration of the reactants
  3. Temperature
  4. Catalyst
  5. Pressure
  6. Surface area of the reactants

1. Nature of the reactants : The reaction of sodium with hydrochloric acid is faster than that with acetic acid, because Hydrochloric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid and thus more reactive. So, the nature of the reactants influence the reaction rate.
2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2(g) (fast)
2Na(s) + 2CH3COOH(aq) → 2CH3COONa(aq) + H2(g) (slow)

2. Concentration of the reactants : Changing the amount of the reactants also increases the reaction rate. More the concentration, more particles per volume exist in it and hence faster the reaction. Granulated zinc reacts faster with 2M hydrochloric acid than 1M hydrochloric acid.

3. Temperature : Most of the reactions go faster at higher temperature. Because adding heat to the reactants provides energy to break more bonds and thus speed up the reaction. Calcium carbonate reacts slowly with hydrochloric acid at room temperature. When the reaction mixture is heated the reaction rate increases.

4. Pressure : If the reactants are gases, increasing their pressure increases the reaction rate. This is because, on increasing the pressure the reacting particles come closer and collide frequently.

5. Catalyst : A catalyst is a substance which increases the reaction rate without being consumed in the reaction. In certain reactions, adding a substance as catalyst speeds up the reaction. For example, on heating potassium chlorate, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas, but at a slower rate. If manganese dioxide is added, it increases the reaction rate.

6. Surface area of the reactants : Powdered calcium carbonate reacts more readily with hydrochloric acid than marble chips. Because, powdering of the reactants increases the surface area and more energy is available on collision of the reactant particles. Thus, the reaction rate is increased.

Question 4.
How does pH play an important role in everyday life?
Answer:

  • The pH of blood is almost 7.4. Any increase or decrease in this value leads to diseases
  • Citrus fruits require slightly alkaline soil, while rice requires acidic soil and sugarcane requires neutral soil.
  • If the pH of rainwater becomes less than 7, it becomes acid rain which is harmful in day-to-day life.
  • pH changes cause tooth decay.
  • During indigestion, the stomach produces too much acid and this causes pain and irritation.

Question 5.
What is chemical equilibrium? What are its characteristics?
Answer:
Chemical equilibrium is a state of a reversible chemical reaction where the,
Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction.
No change in the amount of the reactants and products takes place.
Characteristics of equilibrium:

  1. In a chemical equilibrium, the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal.
  2. The observable properties such as pressure, concentration, colour, density, viscosity etc., of the system remain unchanged with time.
  3. The chemical equilibrium is a dynamic equilibrium, because both the forward and backward reactions continue to occur even though it appears static externally.
  4. In physical equilibrium, the volume of all the phases remain constant.

VIII. Numericals:

Question 1.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a fruit juice is 3.3 × 10-2M. What is the pH of the juice? Is it acidic or basic?
Answer:
[H+] = 3.3 × 10-2 M
Formula:
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log[3.3 × 10-2]
= -[log 3.3 + log 10-2]
= -[0.5185 – 2 log1010]
= -0.5185 + 2 log1010 [log1010 = 1]
= -0.5185 + 2
pH = 1.4815
Since pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.

Question 2.
If a solution has a pH of 7.41, determine its H+ concentration.
Answer:
pH = 7.41
Formula:
[H+] = antilog[-pH]
= antilog[-7.41] = 10-7.41
= 3.89 × 10-8M

Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 10 Types of Chemical Reactions

Question 3.
The pH of a solution is 5.5 at 25°C. Calculate its [OH].
Answer:
pH = 5.5
Since pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 – pH
= 14 – 5.5 = 8.5
[OH] = 10-pOH
= 10-8.5
= 3.16 × 10-9M
(OR)
[OH] = antilog[-8.5]
= 3.16 × 10-9M
[OH] = 3.16 × 10-9M

Question 4.
Calculate the pH of 0.001 M HCl solution.
Answer:
Since HCl is a strong acid, it dissociates
HCl → H+ + Cl
[H+] = [HCl] = 0.001 M
[H+] = 1 × 10-3M
pH = -log[H+]
= -log[1 × 10-3]
pH = 3

Question 5.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is 1 × 10-8M.
(i) What is the pH of the solution?
Answer:
pH = -log[1 × 10-8]
pH = 8

(ii) What is the pOH of the solution?
Answer:
pOH = 14 – 8
= 6

(iii) Is the given solution acidic or basic?
Answer:
Acidic

Question 6.
Calculate the pH of 0.02 M Ba(OH)2, Ba(OH)2 solution is a strong electrolyte.
Answer:
[Ba(OH)2] = 0.02 M
Ba(OH)2 → Ba2+ + 2OH
[OH] = 2[Ba(OH)2]
= 2 × 0.02 = 0.04 M
pOH = – log[0.04]
= -log[4 × 10-2]
= -[log 4 + log 10-2]
= -[0.6020 – 2 log 10]
pOH = -0.6020 + 2 × 1
= 1.398
pH = 14 – 1.398
= 12.602

Question 2.
Write about any two multipurpose projects of India.
Answer:
A comprehensive river valley project which serves a number of purposes simultaneously is called a “Multi purposes project”.

1. The Bhakra Nangal Project: India’s biggest multipurpose river valley project is ‘Bhakra Nangal Project’. It has been built at a strategic point where two hills on either side of the Sutlej are very close to each other. It is the highest gravity dam in the world. Its length is 226 metres from the river bed. The canals taken out are 1100 kilometres long. The ‘Nangal Power Plant’ on the Sutlej produces electricity, and serves the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and New Delhi. The distributaries are 8400 km in length. It irrigates an area of 1.4 million hectares.

2. Indira Gandhi Project: This project is an ambitious scheme to bring new areas under irrigation so that more areas could be cultivated. The waters of the River Beas and the Ravi are diverted to the River Sutlej. The ‘Pong’ Dam on the River Beas has been constructed to divert the Beas water into the Sutlej in a regulated manner. So that ‘Rajasthan canal’, the longest irrigation canal in the world can irrigate Gandhi Nagar, Bikaner and Jaisalmer districts of North West Rajasthan, (i.e) a part of Thar desert. The main canal now called ‘Indira Gandhi Canal’ is 468 km long runs entirely in Rajasthan, Western of Sutlej, Beas and Ravi are now being fully utilised for irrigating thirsty lands of South Western parts of our country.

  4. Plantation fanning.
  5. Single crop raised on a large area testates).
  6. Crops are grown mainly for export purpose,
  7. The plantations are mostly owned by companies.

Question 4.
Examine the geographical conditions favourable for the cultivation of rice and wheat.
Answer:
Rice:
Rice is an indigenous crop. India is the second-largest producer of rice in the world. It is a tropical crop which is grown well in alluvial plains and river deltas. It requires a mean monthly temperature of 24°C and an average rainfall of 150 cm and deep fertile alluvial soil for its growth. It also needs an abundant supply of cheap labour. In areas of less rainfall particularly in Punjab and Haryana, it is grown with the help of irrigation.
Rice in India is sown in three ways:

  1. Broadcasting,
  2. Ploughing or drilling, and
  3. Transplanting.

Due to increased use of High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds (CR Dhan 205, AR Dhan 306, CRR 451 etc.), many of the indigenous varieties were disappeared. In 2016, the first 10 leading rice-producing states are West Bengal (First in India) Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Assam, and Haryana.

Wheat:
Wheat is a temperate crop. Its cultivation is mainly confined to the northwestern part of India. India produces both winter wheat and spring wheat. It is the second most important food crop of the country, after rice.

It requires 10-15°C at the time of sowing and 20-25°C at the time of ripening of grains. Over 85% of India’s wheat production comes from 5 states namely Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Apart from these regions, the black soil tract of the Deccan covering parts of Maharashtra and Gujarat also contribute a major wheat production.

IX. HOTS Questions

Question 1.
Can you imagine a world without agriculture?
Answer:
Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets.

Agriculture provides most of the world’s food and fabrics. Cotton, wool and leather are all agricultural products. It also provides wood for construction and paper products.

A world without agriculture would be very different compared to the world we live in today. It is easy for us as humans to take for granted things when we don’t really know how they are grown or produced. Without agriculture, we may not get food and clothing. Without timber, we may not be able to build houses and furniture. We may also be deprived of some everyday-products like soap, paper and ethanol, which are made up of some sort of agricultural by-product. Modern medicine also depends on agriculture. Without agriculture, we wouldn’t be here. We must always be thankful for this industry and for those involved in the various activities related to it.

Question 2.
Can you give solutions for the prevailing water disputes in South India (construction of dams / raising of dams / cleaning of tanks}?
Answer:

  1. Construction of check dams: In order to prevent surface run off water • during heavy rains. Check dams has to be constructed to regulate the flow of water.
  2. Raising of dams: Improves the storage capacity, Strengthening the dams is a must.
  3. Cleaning of tanks: Preventing encroachment by strict legal action, desilting the tanks and deepening it in the local areas will provide water supply to the locality, as well as to maintain the areas of ground water level cleaning of tanks is a must

Torque experienced by an electric dipole in the uniform electric field: Consider an electric dipole of dipole moment \(\vec{p}\) placed in a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\) whose field lines are equally spaced and point in the same direction. The charge +q will experience a force q\(\vec{E}\)  in the direction of the field and charge -q will experience a force -q \(\vec{E}\) in a direction opposite to the field. Since the external field \(\vec{E}\) is uniform, the total force acting on the dipole is zero. These two forces acting at different points will constitute a couple and the dipole experience a torque. This torque tends to rotate the dipole. (Note that electric field lines of a uniform field are equally spaced and point in the same direction). The total torque on the dipole about the point O.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 8
where θ is the angle made by \(\vec{p} \text { with } \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) .
Since p = 2aq, the torque is written in terms of the vector product as \(\vec{\tau}=\vec{p} \times \vec{E}\)
The magnitude of this torque is τ = pE sin θ and is maximum
when θ =90°.
This torque tends to rotate the dipole and align it with the electric field [/latex]\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}[/latex] . Once \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}}\) is aligned with \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\), the total torque on the dipole becomes zero.

(a) Obtain a relation for the magnetic induction at a point along the axis of a circular coil ‘ carrying current.
Answer:
Magnetic field produced along the axis of the current carrying circular coil: Consider a current carrying circular loop of radius R and let I be the current flowing through the wire in the direction. The magnetic field at a point P on the axis of the circular coil at a distance z from its center of the coil O. It is computed by taking two diametrically opposite line elements of the coil each of length \(d \bar{l} \) at C and D Let r be the vector joining the current element (I \(d \bar{l}\)) at C to the point P.

PC = PD = r = \(r=\sqrt{\mathrm{R}^{2}+\mathrm{Z}^{2}}\)

(b) Explain the working of a single-phase AC generator with necessary diagram.
Answer:
Single phase AC generator: In a single phase AC generator, the armature conductors are connected in series so as to form a single circuit which generates a single-phase alternating emf and hence it is called single-phase alternator.

The simplified version of a AC generator is discussed hire. Consider a stator core consisting of 2 slots in which 2 armature conductors PQ and RS are mounted to form single-turn rectangular loop PQRS. Rotor has 2 salient poles with field windings which can be magnetized by means of DC source.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 15
Working: The loop PQRS is stationary and is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. When field windings are excited, magnetic field is produced around it. The direction of magnetic field passing through the armature core. Let the field magnet be rotated in clockwise direction by the prime mover. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the plane of the paper.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 16
Assume that initial position of the field magnet is horizontal. At that instant, the direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop PQRS. The induced emf is zero. This is represented by origin O in the graph between induced emf and time angle.

When field magnet rotates through 90°, magnetic field becomes parallel to PQRS. The induced emfs across PQ and RS would become maximum. Since they are connected in series, emfs are added up and the direction of total induced emf is given by Fleming’s right hand rule.

Care has to be taken while applying this rule; the thumb indicates the direction of the motion of the conductor with respect to field. For clockwise rotating poles, the conductor appears to be rotating anti-clockwise. Flence, thumb should point to the left. The direction of the induced emf is at right angles to the plane of the paper. For PQ, it is downwards and for RS upwards. Therefore, the current flows along PQRS. The point A in the graph represents this maximum emf.

For the rotation of 180° from the initial position, the field is again perpendicular to PQRS and the induced emf becomes zero. This is represented by point B. The field magnet becomes again parallel to PQRS for 270° rotation of field magnet. The induced emf is maximum but the direction is reversed. Thus the current flows along SRQP. This is represented by point C.

On completion of 360°, the induced emf becomes zero and is represented by the point D. From the graph, it is clear that emf induced in PQRS is alternating in nature.

Therefore, when field magnet completes one rotation, induced emf in PQRS finishes one cycle. For this construction, the frequency of the induced emf depends on the speed at which the field magnet rotates.

Question 36.
(a) What is emission spectra? Give their types.
Answer:
Emission spectra: When the spectrum of self luminous source is taken, we get emission spectrum. Each source has its own characteristic emission spectrum. The emission spectrum _ can be divided into three types:

(i) Continuous emission spectra (or continuous spectra): If the light from incandescent lamp filament bulb) is allowed to pass through prism (simplest spectroscope), it splits into seven colours. Thus, it consists of wavelengths containing all the visible colours ranging from violet to red. Examples: spectrum obtained from carbon arc, incandescent solids, liquids gives continuous spectra.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 17

(ii) Line emission spectrum (or line spectrum): Suppose light from hot gas is allowed to pass through prism, line spectrum is observed. Line spectra are also known as discontinuous spectra. The line spectra are sharp lines of definite wavelengths or frequencies. Such spectra arise due to excited atoms of elements. These lines are the characteristics of the element which means it is different for different elements. Examples: spectra of atomic hydrogen, helium, etc.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 18

(iii) Band emission spectrum (or band spectrum): Band spectrum consists of several number of very closely spaced spectral lines which overlapped together forming specific bands which are separated by dark spaces, known as band spectra. This spectrum has a sharp edge at one end and fades out at the other end. Such spectra arise when the molecules are excited. Band spectrum is the characteristic of the molecule hence, the structure of the molecules can be studied using their band spectra. Examples, spectra of hydrogen gas, ammonia gas in the discharge tube etc.

(b) Describe the Fizeau’s method to determine speed of light.
Answer:
Fizeau’s method to determine speed of light:
Apparatus: The light from the source S was first allowed to fall on a partially silvered glass plate G kept at an angle of 45° to the incident light from the source. The light then was allowed to pass through a rotating toothed-wheel with N teeth and N cuts of equal widths whose speed of rotation could be varied through an external mechanism.

The light passing through one cut in the wheel will, get reflected by a mirror M kept at a long distance d, about 8 km from the toothed wheel. If the toothed wheel was not rotating, the reflected light from the mirror would again pass through the same cut and reach the eyes of the observer through the partially silvered glass plate.

Working: The angular speed c rotation of the toothed wheel was increased from zero to a value co until light passing through one cut would completely be blocked by the adjacent tooth. This is ensured by the disappearance of light while looking through the partially silvered glass plate.

Expression for speed of light: The speed of light in air v is equal to the ratio of the distance the light travelled from the toothed wheel to the mirror and back 2d to the time taken t.
\(v=\frac{2 d}{t}\) ………………… (1)

The distance d is a known value from the arrangement. The time taken t for the light to travel the distance to and fro is calculated from the angular speed ω of the toothed wheel. The angular speed ω of the toothed wheel when the light disappeared for the first time is,
\(\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}\) ………………….. (2)

Here, θ is the angle between the tooth and the slot which is rotated by the toothed wheel within that time t
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 19
Rewriting the above equation for t
\(t=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{N} \omega}\) ……………….. (3)
Substituting t from equation (3) in equation (1)
\(v=\frac{2 d}{\pi / \mathrm{N} \omega}\)
\(v=\frac{2 d \mathrm{N} \omega}{\pi}\) …………….(4)
Fizeau had some difficulty to visually estimate the minimum intensity blocked by the adjacent tooth, and his value for speed of light was very value.

Question 37.
(a) List out the laws of photoelectric effect.
Answer:
Laws of photoelectric effect:

  • For a given frequency of incident light, the number of photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light. The saturation current is also directly proportional to the intensity of incident light.
  • Maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons is independent of intensity of the incident light.
  • Maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons from a given metal is directly proportional to the frequency of incident light.
  • For a given surface, the emission of photoelectrons takes place only if the frequency of incident light is greater than a certain minimum frequency called the threshold frequency.
  • There is no time lag between incidence of light and ejection of photoelectrons.

(b) Describe the working of nuclear reactor with a block diagram.
Answer:
Nuclear reactor:

  • Nuclear reactor is a system in which the nuclear fission takes place in a self-sustained controlled manner and the energy produced is used either for research purpose or for power generation.
  • The main parts of a nuclear reactor are fuel, moderator and control rods. In addition to this, there is a cooling system which is connected with power generation set up.

Fuel:

  • The fuel is fissionable material, usually uranium or plutonium. Naturally occurring uranium contains only \(0.7 \% \text { of }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U} \text { and } 99.3 \% \text { are only }^{238} \mathrm{g}_{2} \mathrm{U}\) . So the \(_{ 92 }^{ 235 }{ U }\) must be enriched such that it contains at least 2 to 4% of \(_{ 92 }^{ 235 }{ U }\) .
  • In addition to this, a neutron source is required to initiate the chain reaction for the first time. A mixture of beryllium with plutonium or polonium is used as the neutron source. During fission of \(_{ 92 }^{ 235 }{ U }\), only fast neutrons are emitted but the probability of initiating fission by it in another nucleus is very low. Therefore, slow neutrons are preferred for sustained nuclear reactions.

Moderators:

  • The moderator is a material used to convert fast neutrons into slow neutrons. Usually the moderators are chosen in such a way that it must be very light nucleus having mass comparable to that of neutrons. Hence, these light nuclei undergo collision with fast neutrons and the speed of the neutron is reduced
  • Most of the reactors use water, heavy water (D20) and graphite as moderators. The blocks of uranium stacked together with blocks of graphite (the moderator) to form a large pile.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 20

 

Control rods:

  • The control rods are used to adjust the reaction rate. During each fission, on an average 2.5 neutrons are emitted and in order to have the controlled chain reactions, only one neutron is allowed to cause another fission and the remaining neutrons are absorbed by the control rods.
  • Usually cadmium or boron acts as control rod material and these rods are inserted into the uranium blocks. Depending on the insertion depth of control rod into the uranium, the average number of neutrons produced per fission is set to be equal to one or greater than one.
  • If the average number of neutrons produced per fission is equal to one, then reactor is said to be in critical state. In fact, all the nuclear reactors are maintained in critical state by suitable adjustment of control rods. If it is greater than one, then reactor is said to be in super-critical and it may explode sooner or may cause massive destruction.

Shielding:

  • For a protection against harmful radiations, the nuclear reactor is surrounded by a concrete wall of thickness of about 2 to 2.5 m.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium

Cooling system:

  • The cooling system removes the heat generated in the reactor core. Ordinary water, heavy water and liquid sodium are used as coolant since they have very high specific heat capacity and have large boiling point under high pressure.
  • This coolant passes through the fuel block and carries away the heat to the steam generator through heat exchanger. The steam runs the turbines which produces electricity in power reactors.

Question 38.
(a) Explain the working principle of a solar cell. Mention its applications.
Answer:
Solar cell:
A solar cell, also known as photovoltaic cell, converts light energy directly into electricity or electric potential difference by photovoltaic effect. It is basically a p-n junction which generates emf when solar radiation falls on the p-n junction. A solar cell is of two types: p-type and n-type.

Both types use a combination of p-type and n-type Silicon which together forms the p-n junction of the solar cell. The difference is that p-type solar cells use p-type Silicon as the base with an ultra-thin layer of n-type Silicon as shown in Figure, while n-type solar cell uses the opposite combination. The other side of the p-Silicon is coated with metal which forms the back electrical contact. On top of the n-type Silicon, metal grid is deposited which acts as the front electrical contact. The top of the solar cell is coated with anti-reflection coating and toughened glass.

In a solar cell, electron-hole pairs are generated due to the absorption of light near the junction. Then the charge carriers are separated due to the electric field of the depletion region. Electrons move towards n-type Silicon and holes move towards p-type Silicon layer.

The electrons reaching the n-side are collected by the front contact and holes reaching p-side are collected by the back electrical contact. Thus a potential difference is developed across solar cell. When an external load is connected to the solar cell, photocurrent flows through the load.

Many solar cells are connected together either in series or in parallel combination to form solar panel or module. Many solar panels are connected with each other to form solar arrays. For  high power applications, solar panels and solar arrays are used.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium 21

Applications:

  • Solar cells are widely used in calculators, watches, toys, portable power supplies, etc.
  • Solar cells are used in satellites and space applications
  • Solar panels are used to generate electricity.

(b) Elaborate on the basic elements of communication system with the necessary block diagram.
Answer:
Elements of an electronic communication system
Information (Baseband or input signal): Information can be in the form of a sound signal like speech, music, pictures, or computer data which is given as input to the input transducer.

Input transducer
A transducer is a device that converts variations in a physical quantity (pressure, temperature, sound) into an equivalent electrical signal or vice versa. In communication system, the transducer converts the information which is in the form of sound, music, pictures or computer data into corresponding electrical signals. The electrical equivalent of the original information is called the baseband signal. The best example for the transducer is the microphone that converts sound energy into electrical energy.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium

Transmitter:
It feeds the electrical signal from the transducer to the communication channel. It consists of circuits such as amplifier, oscillator, modulator, and power amplifier. The transmitter is located at the broadcasting station.

Amplifier:
The transducer output is very weak and is amplified by the amplifier. Oscillator: It generates high-frequency carrier wave (a sinusoidal wave) for long distance transmission into space. As the energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency, the carrier wave has very high energy.

Modulator:
It superimposes the baseband signal onto the carrier signal and generates the modulated signal.

Power amplifier:
It increases the power level of the electrical signal in order to cover a large distance.

Transmitting antenna:
It radiates the radio signal into space in all directions. It travels in the form of electromagnetic waves with the velocity of light (3 x 108 ms-1).

Communication channel:
Communication channel is used to carry the electrical signal from transmitter to receiver with less noise or distortion. The communication medium is basically of two types: wireline communication and wireless communication.

Noise:
It is the undesirable electrical signal that interfaces with the transmitted signal. Noise attenuates or reduces the quality of the transmitted signal. It may be man-made (automobiles, welding machines, electric motors etc .) or natural (lightening, radiation from sun and stars and environmental effects). Noise cannot be completely eliminated. However, it can be reduced using various techniques.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 5 English Medium

Receiver:
The signals that are transmitted through the communication medium are received with the help of a receiving antenna and are fed into the receiver. The receiver consists of electronic circuits like demodulator, amplifier, detector etc. The demodulator extracts the baseband signal from the carrier signal. Then the baseband signal is detected and amplified using amplifiers. Finally, it is fed to the output transducer.

Repeaters:
Repeaters are used to increase the range or distance through which the signals are sent. It is a combination of transmitter and receiver. The signals are received, amplified, and retransmitted with a carrier signal of different frequency to the destination. The best example is the communication satellite in space.

Output transducer:
It converts the electrical signal back to its original form such as sound, music, pictures or data. Examples of output transducers are loudspeakers, picture tubes, computer monitor, etc.

Attenuation:
The loss of strength of a signal while propagating through a medium is known as attenuation.

Range:
It is the maximum distance between the source and the destination up to which the signal is received with sufficient strength.

Question 2.
Write notes on various factors affecting solubility.
Answer:
There are three main factors which affects the solubility of a solute. They are

  1. Nature of the solute and solvent
  2. Temperature
  3. Pressure

1. Nature of the solute and solvent : The nature of the solute and solvent plays an important role in solubility. Even though water is Universal solvent, all substances do not dissolve in water. Dissolution occurs when similarities exist between the solvent and the solute.

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvent like water and covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents like ether, benzene, alcohol etc.

2. Effect of Temperature :
Solubility of solid in liquid : Generally solubility of a solid solute in a liquid increases with increase in temperature.
In Endothermic process : Solubility increases with increase in temperature.
In Exothermic process : Solubility decreases with increase in temperature.
Solubility of Gases in liquid : Solubility of gases in liquid decreases with increase in temperature.

3. Effect of Pressure : Effect of pressure is observed only in the case of solubility of a gas in a liquid. When the pressure is increased, the solubility of a gas in liquid increases.

Question 27.
How is Eddy current produced? How do they flow in a conductor?
Answer:
Even for a conductor in the form of a sheet or plate, an emf is induced when magnetic flux linked with it changes.

Question 34.
(a) How do we determine the electric field due to a continuous charge distribution? Explain. Electric field due to continuous charge distribution
Answer:
The electric charge is quantized microscopically. The expressions of Coulomb’s Law, superposition principle force and electric field are applicable to only point charges. While dealing with the electric field due to a charged sphere or a charged wire etc., it is very difficult to look at individual charges in these charged bodies.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 14

Therefore, it is assumed that charge is distributed continuously on the charged bodies and the discrete nature of charges is not considered here. The electric field due to such continuous charge distributions is found by invoking the method of calculus.

Consider the following charged object of irregular shape. The entire charged object is divided into a large number of charge elements
Δq1, Δq2, Δq3 ….. Δqn ……… and each charge element Δq is taken as a point charge.
The electric field at a point P due to a charged object is approximately given by the sum of the fields at P due to all such change elements
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 15
Here Δ qi is the ith charge element, r is the distance of the point P from the zth charge element and \(\hat{r}_{i \mathrm{P}} \) is the unit vector from ith charge element to the point P.

However, the equation is only an approximation. To incorporate the continuous distribution of charge, we take the limit Δq → 0(= dq). In this limit, the summation in the equation becomes an integration and takes the following form
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \int \frac{d q}{r^{2}} \hat{r}\)

Here r is the distance of the point P from the infinitesimal charge dq and \(\hat{r}\) is the unit vector from dq to point P. Even though the electric field for a continuous charge distribution is difficult to evaluate, the force experienced by some test charge q in this electric field is still given by \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\)

(a) Line charge distribution: If the charge Q is uniformly distributed along the wire of length L, then linear charge density (charge per unit length) is λ = Q/L. Its unit is coulomb per meter (Cm-1). The charge present in the infinitesimal length dl is dq = λ dl
The electric field due to the line of total charge Q is given by

(b) Surface charge distribution: If the charge Q is uniformly distributed on. a surface of area A, then surface charge density (charge per unit area) is \(\lambda=\frac{Q}{L}\). Its unit is coulomb per square meter (Cm-2 ). The charge present in the infinitesimal area dA is dq = adA. The electric field due to a of total charge Q is given by
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 18

(c) Volume charge distribution: If the charge Q is uniformly distributed in a volume V, then volume charge density (charge per unit volume) is given by \(\rho=\frac{Q}{V}\) . Its unit is coulomb per cubic meter (Cm-3 ). The charge present in the infinitesimal volume element dV is dq = ρdV.
The electric field due to a volume of total charge Q is given by

(b) Obtain the macroscopic form of Ohm’s law from its microscopic form and discuss its limitation.
Answer:
Ohm’s law: The Ohm’s law can be derived from the equation J = σE. Consider a segment of wire of length l and cross sectional area A.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium

When a potential difference V is applied across the wire, a net electric field is created in the wire which constitutes the current. For simplicity, we assume that the electric field is uniform in the entire length of the wire, the potential difference (voltage V) can be written as
V = El
As we know, the magnitude of current density
\(\mathrm{J}=\sigma \mathrm{E}=\sigma \frac{\mathrm{V}}{l}\)
But \(\mathrm{J}=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{A}}\),so we write the equation as
\(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{A}}=\sigma \frac{\mathrm{V}}{l}\)
By rearranging the above equations, we get
\(\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{I}\left(\frac{l}{\sigma \mathrm{A}}\right)\)
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 20
The quantity \(\frac{l}{\sigma \mathrm{A}}\) is called resistance of the conductor and it is denoted as R. Note that the resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to area of cross section.
Therefore, the macroscopic form of Ohm’s law can be stated as
V = IR …………….. (3)

Question 35.
(a) Calculate the magnetic held inside and outside of the long solenoid using Ampere’s circuital law.
Answer:
Magnetic field due to a long current carrying solenoid: Consider a solenoid of length L having N turns. The diametre of the solenoid is assumed to be much smaller when compared to its length and the coil is wound very closely.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 21
In order to calculate the magnetic field at any point inside the solenoid, we use Ampere’s circuital law. Consider a rectangular loop abed. Then from Ampere’s circuital law.
\(\oint_{C} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot d \vec{l}=\mu_{0} \mathrm{I}_{\text {enclosed }}\) = μ x (total current enclosed by Amperian loop)
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 22
Since the elemental lengths along be and da are perpendicular to the magnetic field which is along the axis of the solenoid, the integrals.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 23
Since the magnetic field outside the   solenoid is zero, the integral
\(\int_{c}^{d} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot d \vec{l}=0\)
For the path along ab, the integral is
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 24
where the length of the loop ab is h. But the choice of length of the loop ab is arbitrary. We can take very large loop such that it is equal to the length of the solenoid L. Therefore the integral is
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 25
Let NI be the current passing through the solenoid of N turns, then
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 .29
The number of turns per unit length is given by \(\frac{\mathrm{NI}}{\mathrm{L}}=n\) then
\(\mathrm{v}_{p}=\varepsilon_{p}=-\mathrm{N}_{p} \frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}\)
Since n is a constant for a given solenoid and μo is also constant. For a fixed current I, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is also a constant.

[OR]

(b) Explain the construction and working of transformer.
Answer:
Construction and working of transformer:
Principle: The principle of transformer is the mutual induction between two coils. That is, when an electric current passing through a coil changes with time, an emf is induced in the neighbouring coil.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 27

Construction: In the simple construction of transformers, there are two coils of high mutual inductance wound over the same transformer core. The core is generally laminated and is made up of a good magnetic material like silicon steel. Coils are electrically insulated but magnetically linked via transformer core.

The coil across which alternating voltage is applied is called primary coil P and the coil from which output power is drawn out is called secondary coil S. The assembled core and coils are kept in a container which is filled with suitable medium for better insulation and cooling purpose.

Working: If the primary coil is connected to a source of alternating voltage, an alternating magnetic flux is set up in the laminated core. If there is no magnetic flux leakage, then whole of magnetic flux linked with primary coil is also linked with secondary coil. This means that rate at which magnetic flux changes through each turn is same for both primary and secondary coils.

As a result of flux change, emf is induced in both primary and secondary coils. The emf induced in the primary coil εp is almost equal and opposite to the applied voltage υp and is given by
\(\mathrm{v}_{p}=\varepsilon_{p}=-\mathrm{N}_{p} \frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}\)
The frequency of alternating magnetic flux in the core is same as the frequency of the applied voltage. Therefore, induced emf in secondary will also have same frequency as that of applied voltage. The emf induced in the secondary coil εs is given by
\(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{s}}=-N_{s} \frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}\) ………………… (1)
where Np and Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil, respectively. If the secondary circuit is open, then  εs = υs where υs is the voltage across secondary coil.
\(v_{s}=\varepsilon_{s}=-\mathrm{N}_{s} \frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{d t}\) ……….. (2)

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium

From equations (1) and (2),
\(\frac{v_{s}}{v_{p}}=\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}=K\) …………………… (3)

This constant K is known as voltage transformation ratio. For an ideal transformer,
Input power υp ip= Output power υsis
where ipand is are the currents in the primary and secondary coil respectively. Therefore,
\(\frac{v_{s}}{v_{p}}=\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}=\frac{i_{p}}{i_{s}}\) ………………….. (4)

Equation (4) is written in terms of amplitude of corresponding quantities,
\(\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}}=\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}=\frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}=K\)

(i) If Ns> Np ( or K > 1), ∴ Vs > Vp and Is < Ip. This is the case of step-up transformer in which voltage is increased and the corresponding current is decreased.

(ii) If Ns < Np (or K < 1) , ∴ Vs < Vp and Is > Ip . This is step-down transformer where voltage is decreased and the current is increased.

Question 36.
(a) Discuss the source of electromagnetic waves.
Answer:
Sources of electromagnetic waves: Any stationary source charge produces only electric field. When the charge moves with uniform velocity, it produces steady current which gives rise to magnetic field (not time dependent, only space dependent) around the conductor in which charge flows. If the charged -particle accelerates, in addition to electric field it also produces magnetic field. Both electric and magnetic fields are time varying fields. Since the electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, the direction of propagation of electromagnetic waves is perpendicular to the plane containing electric and magnetic field vectors.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 28

Any oscillatory motion is also an accelerating motion, so, when the charge oscillates (oscillating molecular dipole) about their mean position, it produces electromagnetic waves. Suppose the electromagnetic field in free space propagates along z direction, and if the electric field vector points along y axis then the magnetic field vector will be mutually perpendicular to both electric field and the propagation vector direction, which means
Ey =E0 sin (kz-ωt)
Br = B0 sin(kz – ωt) where, Eo and Bo are amplitude of oscillating electric and magnetic field,\(\hat{k} \) is a wave number, ω is the angular frequency of the wave and k (unit vector, here it is called propagation vector) denotes the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave.

Note that both electric field and magnetic field oscillate with a frequency (frequency of electromagnetic wave) which is equal to the frequency of the source (here, oscillating charge is the source for the production of electromagnetic waves). In free space or in vacuum, the ratio between Eo and Bo is equal to the speed of electromagnetic wave, which is equal to speed of light c.
\(c=\frac{E_{0}}{B_{0}}\)

In any medium, the ratio of Eo and Bo is equal to the speed of electromagnetic wave in that medium, mathematically, it can be written as
\(v=\frac{E_{0}}{B_{0}}<c\)
Further, the energy of electromagnetic waves comes from the energy of the oscillating charge.

(b) Explain about compound microscope and obtain the equation for magnification.
Answer:
Compound microscope:
The lens near the object, called the objective, forms a real, inverted, magnified image of the object. This serves as the object for the second lens which is the eyepiece. Eyepiece serves as a simple microscope that produces finally an enlarged and virtual image. The first inverted image formed by the objective is to be adjusted close to, but within the focal plane of the eyepiece so that the final image is formed nearly at infinity or at the near point. The final image is inverted with respect to the original object. We can obtain the magnification for a compound microscope.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 29

Magnification of compound microscope
From the ray diagram, the linear magnification due to the objective is,
\(m_{0}=\frac{h^{\prime}}{h}\)
from the figure ,\(\tan \beta=\frac{h}{f_{0}}=\frac{h^{\prime}}{L} \), then
\(\frac{h^{\prime}}{h}=\frac{L}{f_{0}} ; m_{o}=\frac{L}{f_{o}}\)

Here, the distance L is between the first focal point of the eyepiece to the second focal point of the objective. This is called the tube length L of the microscope as fo and fe are comparatively smaller than L. If the final image is formed at P (near point focusing), the magnification me of the eyepiece is,
\(m_{e}=1+\frac{D}{f_{e}}\)

The total magnification m in near point focusing is,
\(m=m_{o} m_{e}=\left(\frac{L}{f_{o}}\right)\left(1+\frac{D}{f_{e}}\right)\)

If the final image is formed at infinity (normal focusing), the magnification me of the eyepiece is
\(m_{e}=\frac{D}{f_{e}}\)

The total magnification m in normal focusing is,
\(m=m_{o} m_{e}=\left(\frac{L}{f_{o}}\right)\left(\frac{D}{f_{e}}\right)\)

Question 37.
(a) Briefly explain the principle and working of electron microscope.
Answer:
Electron Microscope:
Principle:

  • This is the direct application of wave nature of particles. The wave nature of the electron is used in the construction of microscope called electron microscope.
  • The resolving power of a microscope is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the radiation used for illuminating the object under study. Higher magnification as well as higher resolving power can be obtained by employing the waves of shorter wavelengths.
  • De Broglie wavelength of electron is very much less than (a few thousands less) that of the visible light being used in optical microscopes.
  • As a result, the microscopes employing de Broglie waves of electrons have very much higher resolving power than optical microscope.
  • Electron microscopes giving magnification more than 2,00,000 times are common in research laboratories.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 30

Working:

  • The electron beam passing across a suitably arranged either electric or magnetic fields undergoes divergence or convergence thereby focussing of the beam is done.
  • The electrons emitted from the source are accelerated by high potentials. The beam is made parallel by magnetic condenser lens. When the beam passes through the sample whose magnified image is needed, the beam carries the image of the sample.
  • With the help of magnetic objective lens and magnetic projector lens system, the magnified image is obtained on the screen. These electron microscopes are being used in almost all branches of science.

  • The process of breaking up of the nucleus of a heavier atom into two smaller nuclei with the release of a large amount of energy is called nuclear fission.
  • The fission is accompanied by the release of neutrons. The energy that is released in the nuclear fission is of many orders of magnitude greater than the energy released in chemical reactions.
  • Uranium undergoes fission reaction in 90 different ways. The most common fission reactions of

  • Here Q is energy released during the decay of each uranium nuclei. When the slow neutron is absorbed by the uranium nuclei, the mass number increases by one and goes to an excited state. \(_{ 92 }^{ 236 }{ U }\) . But this excited state does not last longer than 10-12s and decay into two daughter nuclei along with 2 or 3 neutrons. From each reaction, on an average, 2.5 neutrons are emitted.

Question 38.
(a) Transistor functions as a switch. Explain.
Answer:
The transistor in saturation and cut-off regions functions like an electronic switch that helps to. turn ON or OFF a given circuit by a small control signal.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 33

Presence of dc source at the input (saturation region):
When a high input voltage (V. = +5V) is applied, the base current (I ) increases and in turn increases the collector current. The transistor will move into the saturation region (turned ON). The increase in collector current (Ic) increases the voltage drop across Rc .thereby lowering the output voltage, close to zero. The transistor acts like a closed switch and is equivalent to ON condition.

Absence of dc source at the input (cut-off region):
A low input voltage (Vin = OV), decreases the base current (IB) and in turn decreases the collector current (Ic ). The transistor will move into the cut-off region (turned OFF). The decrease in collector current (Ic) decreases the drop across, thereby increasing the output voltage, dose to +5 V. The transistor acts as an open switch which is considered as the OFF condition.

It is manifested that, a high input gives a low output and a low input gives a high output. In addition, we can say that the output voltage is opposite to the applied input voltage. Therefore, a transistor can be used as an inverter in computer logic circuitry

[OR]

(b) What is modulation? Explain the types of modulation with necessary diagrams.
Answer:
Modulation: For long distance transmission, the low frequency baseband signal (input signal) is superimposed onto a high frequency radio signal by a process called modulation. There are 3 types of modulation based on which parameter is modified.
They are

  1. Amplitude modulation,
  2. Frequency modulation, and
  3. Phase modulation.

1. Amplitude Modulation (AM): If the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified according to the instantaneous amplitude of the baseband signal, then it is called amplitude modulation. Here the frequency and the phase of the carrier signal remain constant. Amplitude modulation is used in radio and TV broadcasting.

The signal shown in figure
(a) is the message signal or baseband signal that carries information, figure
(b) shows the high-frequency carrier signal and figure
(c) gives the amplitude modulated signal. We can see clearly that the carrier wave is modified in proportion to the amplitude of the baseband signal.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 34

(ii) Frequency Modulation (FM):
The frequency of the carrier signal is modified according to the instantaneous amplitude of the baseband signal in frequency modulation. Here the amplitude and the phase of the carrier signal remain constant. An increase in the amplitude of the ‘ baseband signal increases the frequency of the carrier signal and vice versa. This leads to compressions and rarefactions in the frequency spectrum of the modulated wave.

Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium

Louder signal leads to compressions and relatively weaker signals to rarefactions. When the amplitude of the baseband signal is zero in Figure (a), the frequency of the modulated signal is the same as the carrier signal. The frequency of the modulated wave increases when the amplitude of the baseband signal increases in the positive direction (A, C). The increase in amplitude in the negative half cycle (B, D) reduces the frequency of the modulated wave (Figure (c)).
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 35

(iii) Phase Modulation (PM)
The instantaneous amplitude of the baseband signal modifies the phase of the carrier signal keeping the amplitude and frequency constant is called phase modulation. This modulation is used to generate frequency modulated signals. It is similar to frequency modulation except that the phase of the carrier is varied instead of varying frequency.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 2 English Medium 36

The carrier phase changes according to increase or decrease in the amplitude of the baseband signal. When the modulating signal goes positive, the amount of phase lead increases with the amplitude of the modulating signal. Due to this, the carrier signal is compressed or its frequency is increased.

On the other hand, the negative half cycle of the baseband signal produces a phase lag in the carrier signal. This appears to have stretched the frequency of the carrier wave. Hence similar to frequency modulated wave, phase modulated wave also comprises of compressions and rarefactions. When the signal voltage is zero (A, C and E) the carrier frequency is unchanged.

Question 10.
Discuss the main featured of Periods in the modern periodic table (or) long form of periodic table.
Answer:
The horizontal rows are called periods.There are seven periods in the periodic table.

  1. First period (Atomic number 1 and 2): This is the shortest period. It contains only two elements (Hydrogen and Helium).
  2. Second period (Atomic number 3 to 10): This is a short period. It contains eight elements (Lithium to Neon).
  3. Third period (Atomic number 11 to 18): This is also a short period. It contains eight elements (Sodium to Argon).
  4. Fourth period (Atomic number 19 to 36): This is a long period. It contains eighteen elements (Potassium to Krypton). This includes 8 normal elements and 10 transition elements.
  5. Fifth period (Atomic number 37 to 54): This is also a long period. It contains 18 elements (Rubidium to Xenon). This includes 8 normal elements and 10 transition elements.
  6. Sixth period (Atomic number 55 to 86): This is the longest period. It contains 32 elements (Caesium to Radon). This includes 8 normal elements, 10 transition elements and 14 inner transition elements (Lanthanides).
  7. Seventh period (Atomic number 87 to 118): Like the sixth period, this period also accommodates 32 elements. Recently 4 elements have been included by IUPAC.

Question 11.
Discuss the main feature of Groups in the long form of periodic table.
Answer:
(i) The vertical columns in the periodic table starting from top to bottom are called groups. There are 18 groups in the periodic table.

(ii) Based on the common characteristics of elements in each group, they can be grouped as various families.
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 8 Periodic Classification of Elements 30

(iii) The Lanthanides and Actinides, which form part of Group 3 are called inner transition elements.

(iv) Except ‘group O’, all the elements present in each group have the same number of electrons in their valence shell and thus have the same valency. Eg: all the elements of group 1 have one electron in their valence shells (Is1). So, the valency of all the alkali metals is ‘ 1’.

(v) As the elements present in a group have identical valence shell electronic configurations, they possess similar chemical properties.

(vi) The physical properties of the elements in a group such as melting point, boiling point and density vary gradually.

(vii) The atoms of the ‘group 0’ elements have stable electronic configuration in their valence shells and hence they are unreactive.

VIII. Hot Questions:

Question 1.
Why noble gases have zero electron affinity value?
Answer:
Noble gases show no tendency to accept electrons because the outers and p orbitals of noble gases are completely filled. No more electrons can be added to them and hence their electron affinities are zero.

Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 8 Periodic Classification of Elements

Question 2.
Arrange the following ions in order of their increasing ionic radii.
Answer:
Li+, Mg2+, K+ Al3+
Al3+ < Li+ < Mg2+ < K+

Question 3.
Cationic radius is smaller than its corresponding neutral atom. Why?
Answer:
When a neutral atom lose one or more electrons it forms a cation.
Na → Na+ + e
The radius of this cation (rNa+)is decreased than its parent atom (rNa).
When an atom is charged to cation, the number of nuclear charges becomes greater than the number of orbital electrons. Florence the remaining electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus. Hence the cationic radius is smaller than its corresponding neutral atom.

  • Chemical properties of the members of a homologous series are similar.

Question 2.
Arrive at, systematically, the IUPAC name of the compound: CH3-CH2– CH2-OH.
Answer:
Step 1: The parent chain consists of 3 carbon atoms. The root word is ‘Prop’.
Step 2: There are single bonds between the carbon atoms of the chain. So, the primary suffix is ‘ane’.
Step 3: Since, the compound contains – OH group, it is an alcohol. The carbon chain is numbered from the end which is closest to – OH group. (Rule 3)
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 11 Carbon and its Compounds 6
Step 4: The locant number of – OH group is l and thus the secondary suffix is ‘l-ol’.
The name of the compound is Prop + ane + (l – ol) = Propan-l-ol

Question 3.
How is ethanol manufactured from sugarcane?
Answer:
Ethanol is manufactured in industries by the fermentation of molasses, which is a by-product obtained during the manufacture of sugar from sugarcane. Molasses is a dark coloured syrupy liquid left after the crystallization of sugar from the concentrated sugarcane juice. Molasses contain about 30% of sucrose, which cannot be separated by crystallization. It is converted into ethanol by the following steps:
(i) Dilution of molasses : Molasses is first diluted with water to bring down the concentration of sugar to about 8 to 10 percent.

(ii) Addition of Nitrogen source : Molasses usually contains enough nitrogenous matter to act as food for yeast during the fermentation process. If the nitrogen content of the molasses is poor, it may be fortified by the addition of ammonium sulphate or ammonium phosphate.

(iii) Addition of YeastrThe solution obtained in step (ii) is collected in large ‘fermentation tanks’ and yeast is added to it. The mixture is kept at about 303K for a few days. During this period, the enzymes invertase and zymase present in yeast, bring about the conversion of sucrose into ethanol.
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 11 Carbon and its Compounds 7
The fermented liquid is technically called wash.

(iv) Distillation of ‘Wash’: The fermented liquid (i.e., wash), containing 15 to 18 percent alcohol, is now subjected to fractional distillation. The main fraction drawn is an aqueous solution of ethanol which contains 95.5% of ethanol and 4.5% of water. This is called rectified spirit. This mixture is then refluxed over quicklime for about 5 to 6 hours and then allowed to stand for 12 hours. On distillation of this mixture, pure alcohol (100%) is obtained. This is called absolute alcohol.

Question 5.
Explain the mechanism of cleansing action of soap.
Answer:
A soap molecule contains two chemically distinct parts that interact differently with water. It has one polar end, which is a short head with a carboxylate group (-COONa) and one non – polar end having the long tail made of the hydrocarbon chain.

The polar end is hydrophilic (Water-loving) in nature and this end is attracted towards the water. The non – polar end is hydrophobic (Water hating) in nature and it is attracted towards dirt or oil on the cloth, but not attracted towards the water. Thus, the hydrophobic part of the soap molecule traps the dirt and the hydrophilic part makes the entire molecule soluble in water.

When soap or detergent is dissolved in water, the molecules join together as clusters called ‘micelles’. Their long hydrocarbon chains attach themselves to the oil and dirt. The dirt is thus surrounded by the non-polar end of the soap molecules. The charged carboxylate end of the soap molecules makes the micelles soluble in water. Thus, the dirt is washed away with the soap.

Question 5.
Explain the manufacture of soap.
Answer:
Manufacture of soap by Kettle Process This is the oldest method. But, it is still widely used in the small scale preparation of soap. There are mainly, two steps to be followed in this process.

1. Saponification of oil: The oil, which is used in this process, is taken in an iron tank (kettle). The alkaline solution (10%) is added into the kettle, a little in excess. The mixture is boiled by passing steam through it. The oil gets hydrolysed after several hours of boiling. This process is called Saponification.

2. Salting out of soap: Common salt is then added to the boiling mixture. Soap is finally precipitated in the tank. After several hours the soap rises to the top of the liquid as a ‘curdy mass’. The neat soap is taken off from the top. It is then allowed to cool down.

Question 6.
Ethanol is heated with excess con.H2SO4 at 443K.
(a) Name the reaction that occurs and explain it.
Answer:
Dehydration (Loss of water).
When ethanol is heated with conc.H2SO4 at 443K, it loses a water molecule i.e., dehydrated to form ethene.

(c) What is the product formed? What happen when this gas is passed through Br2/H2O.
Answer:
Ethene gas.
When it is passed through Br2/H2O it gets decolourised because it is an unsaturated compound.

(d) Why does no decolonization occurs when ethanol is treated with Br2/H2O?
Answer:
Ethanol is a saturated compound. Therefore no decolourisation occurs.

Question 3.
If A = {p, q, r, s}, B = {m, n, q, s, t} and C = {m, n, p, q, s}, then verify the associative property of union of sets.
Solution:
When union of sets is associative
A∪(B∪C) = (A∪B)∪C
(B∪C) = {m, n, q, s, t) ∪ {m, n, p, q, s}
= {m, n, p, q, s, t}
A∪(B∪C) = {p, q, r, s} ∪ {m, n, p, q, s, t}
= {m, n, p, q, r, s, t} ……..(1)
(A∪B) = {p, q, r, s} ∪ {m, n, q, s, t}
= {m, n, p, q, r, s, t}
(A∪B)∪C = {m, n, p, q, r, s, t} ∪ {m, n, p, q, s}
