Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

1. Two beams, A and B whose photon energies are 3.3 eV and 11.3 eV
respectively, illuminate a metallic surface (work function 2.3 eV) successively.
The ratio of maximum speed of electrons emitted due to beam A to that due to
beam B is: (2024)
(A) 3
(B) 9
(C) 1/3
(D) 1/9
Ans. (C) 1/3
2. The waves associated with a moving electron and a moving proton have the
same wavelength λ. It implies that they have the same: (2024)
(A) momentum
(B) angular momentum
(C) speed
(D) energy
Ans. (A) momentum
3. Assertion (A) and Reason (R) type questions. Two statements are given one
labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct
answer from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below. (2024)
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of the Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of the Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
Assertion (A): In photoelectric effect, the kinetic energy of the emitted
photoelectrons increases with increase in the intensity of the incident light.
Reason (R): Photoelectric current depends on the wavelength of the incident
light.
Ans. (D) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
4. Consider a neutron (mass m) of kinetic energy E and a photon of the same
energy. Let λn and λp be the de Broglie wavelength of neutron and the wavelength
of photon respectively. Obtain an expression for λn/λp. (2024)
Ans. Obtaining an expression for λn/λp

5. (i) A ray of light passes through a triangular prism. Show graphically, how the
angle of deviation varies with the angle of incidence ? Hence define the angle of
minimum deviation.
(ii) A ray of light is incident normally on a refracting face of a prism of prism
angle A and suffers a deviation of angle δ. Prove that the refractive index n of the
material of the prism is given by sin A sin (A + δ )/sin A.
(iii) The refractive index of the material of a prism is √2. If the refracting angle of
the prism is 60° , find the
(1) Angle of minimum deviation, and
(2) Angle of incidence. (2024)
Ans.
Minimum deviation angle is defined as the angle at which angle of incidence is
equal to the angle of emergence.
Alternatively
At minimum deviation refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel to the base
of the prism.
6. (i) State Huygens principle. A plane wave is incident at an angle i on a
reflecting surface. Construct the corresponding reflected wavefront. Using this
diagram, prove that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
(ii) What are the coherent sources of light ? Can two independent sodium lamps
act like coherent sources ? Explain.
(iii) A beam of light consisting of a known wavelength 520 nm and an unknown
wavelength λ, used in Young's double slit experiment produces two interference
patterns such that the fourth bright fringe of unknown wavelength coincides with
the fifth bright fringe of known wavelength. Find the value of λ. (2024)
Ans.
(i) Statement of Huygens’ Principle
Construction of reflected wave front
Proof of angle of reflection is equal to angle of incidence
(ii) Definition of coherent sources
Explanation
(iii) Finding the unknown wavelength
(i) Each point of the wavefront is the source of a secondary disturbance and the
wavelets emanating from these points spread out in all directions with the spread
of the wave. Each point of the wavefront is the source of a secondary disturbance
and the wavelets emanating from these points spread out in all directions with
the speed of the wave. These wavelets emanating from the wavefront are usually
referred to as secondary wavelets and if we draw a common tangent to all these
spheres, we obtain the new position of the wavefront at a later time.

ΔEAC is congruent to ΔBAC; so ∠i = ∠r


(ii) Two sources are said to be coherent if the phase difference between them
does not change with time.
No, two independent sodium lamps cannot be coherent.
Two independent sodium lamps cannot be coherent as the phase between them
does not remain constant with time.
