3. Attempt any one part of the following: 7x1=7

2:
:5

a. Distinguish between phase velocity and group velocity of a wave packet and establish the
08

relation between them.

b. Find an expression for the energy state eigen value and wave function of a particle in one
4

dimensional box.
02

4. Attempt any one part of the following: 7x1=7

-2

a. What is Maxwell fourth equation modifying on the basic of displacement current. When an
03

ideal capacitor is charged by a dc battery, no current flows. However, when an ac source is

used, the current flows continuously. How does one explain this, based on the concept of
3-

maximum are nearly 1: 1/22: 1/62: 1/121.
