Correct Option - 2

Detailed Solution:

(n) $λ = 5$

$(n, m)$ : Integers

$\begin{array}{r} (\frac{2 m + 1}{2}) λ = \frac{3}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{3 / 2}{5} = \frac{2 m + 1}{2 n} \\ \Rightarrow 3 n = 10 m + 5 \end{array}$

$N, m$ are integers.

So, $m = 1, n = 5, λ = 1$

$\begin{array}{l} m = 4 & n = 15 & λ = \frac{1}{3} \\ m = 7 & n = 25 & λ = \frac{1}{5} \end{array}$

Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands form volume V₁ to V₂ in the three different ways. The work done by the gas in W₁ if the process is purely isothermal, W₂, if the process is purely adiabatic and W₃ if the process is purely isobaric. Then, choose the correct option

Vishal Baghel

Process-AB $\Rightarrow$ Isobaric,

Process-AC $\Rightarrow$ Isothermal, and

Process-ADÞAdiabatic

W₂ < W₁ < W₃

In 5 minutes, a body cools from 75°C to 65°C at room temperature of 25°C. The temperature of body at the end of next 5 minutes is__________°C.

Vishal Baghel

from newtan’s law of cooling :

$\frac{d T}{d t} = - k (T - T_{0})$

Using average value :

$\frac{75 - 65}{5} = - k [\frac{(75 + 65) 2}{2} - 25]$

$\frac{(65 - T)}{5} = - k [\frac{(65 + T)}{2} - 25]$

$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{65 - T} = \frac{45}{\frac{65 + T}{2} - 25}$

$\Rightarrow T = 57 ° C$

A Carnot engine has efficiency of 50%. If the temperature of sink is reduced by 40°C, its efficiency increases by 30%. The temperature of the source will be:

Vishal Baghel

Efficiency $η = 50 %$

$\Rightarrow η = (1 - \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}) \times 100 = 50$

$\Rightarrow 1 - \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \frac{50}{100} \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \frac{1}{2}$ -(i)

After the change :- $1 - \frac{T_{2}^{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{50 \times (1.3)}{100} = \frac{65}{100} = . 65$ $\frac{_{}^{}}{_{}} \frac{}{} \frac{}{}$ -(ii)

$\Rightarrow 1 - (\frac{T_{2} - 40}{T_{1}}) = . 65$ --(ii)

$\Rightarrow \frac{40}{T_{1}} = . 65 - . 50 = . 15 \Rightarrow T_{1} = \frac{4000}{15} = 266.7 k$

A 110 V, 50Hz, AC source is connected in the circuit (as shown in figure). The current through the resistance $55 Ω,$ at resonance in the circuit, will be__________A.

Payal Gupta

At Resonance

X_L = X_C

then l_L = l_C

Now phasor diagram

for L & C

So, Net current = zero

$= (l_{L} + l_{C})$

Therefore current through R circuit at resonance will be zero

A proton and an alpha particle of the same velocity enter in a uniform magnetic field which is acting perpendicular to their direction of motion. The ratio of the radii of the circular paths described by the alpha particle and proton is

Payal Gupta

$r = \frac{m v}{q B}$

$r_{α} = \frac{m_{α} v}{q_{α} B}$

$r_{P} = \frac{m_{P} v}{q_{P} B}$

$\frac{r_{α}}{r_{P}} = \frac{m_{α} q_{P}}{m_{P} q_{α}} = \frac{m_{α}}{m_{P}} (\frac{q_{P}}{q_{α}})$

$= \frac{4 m}{m} (\frac{q}{2 q}) = 2 : 1$
