Symbols have their usual meaning. 3. Use of calculator is allowed. This question paper contains 03 Parts-A, B and C. Read instructions given before each pa and answer questions accordingly. Part-A: This part contains FOUR questions out of which only TWO are to be attempted Each questions carries FIVE marks. (2*5=10) | What will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons if 350-nm light falls on a sodium surface? (Work-function of sodium = 2.3 eV), 2. Using uncertainty principle, show that an electron cannot be @ part of the nucleus. (atypical atomic nucleus is about 5 x10'* m), 3. Why are some combinations of neutrons and protons more stable than others? 4. For laser action to occur, the medium used must have at least three energy levels. What ‘must be the nature of each of these levels? ParteB: This part contains FOUR questions out of which only THREE are to be attempted. @*10=30) . (@) Discuss in brief the Planck's radiation formula and his idea for spectral energy density of black body radiation, (5) (b) Find the kinetic energy of an electron which has de-Broglie wavelength of 2pm. Also find phase and group velocities ofits de-Broglie waves. 15] 2. (a) What do you mean by stationary states? Write down its three properties. (1 (b) Discuss three general conclusions that we ean draw form the expression of the permitted energy of a particle trapped in a rigid box of length L. (5) 3. (a) What is binding energy per nucleon? Write down some basic features of the binding energy per nucleon curve as a function of mass number. (5) (b) What are the four fundamental interactions? Write down their basic properties and their role in the universe. (5) con fd ssvede-2- sry 4. (a). What is population inversion? Explain the advantage of four level over three level lasers. 5 (b) Obtain the expression to establish that the relative likelihood of spontaneous enission ing energy difference between the two states. [5] increases rapidly with the incre Part-C: This part contains THREE questions out of which only TWO are to be attempted, Each questions carries FIFTEEN marks. @*15=30) 1. (a) What is quantum theory of light? How it explains the observation of the photoelectric effect that there is no time interval between arrival o! surface and emission of photoelectrons. {5] (b) What is Compton wavelength? Calculate the fractional change in the wavelength of an X-ray of wavelength 0.400 A that undergoes a 90° Compton scattering from an electron. (5) (©) An X-ray photon of initial frequency 3.0 * 10"? Hz collides with an electron and is scattered through 90°. Find its new frequency. 65] (a) Write down the time dependent and steady state form of Schrodinger equation in three dimensions. (1 (b) Set up the Schrodinger equation for a particle confined to a one-dimensional rigid box of width L. Obtain the expression for its normalised wave function and energy levels. Sketch the ground state and first excited state of the particle showing its probability (10) density. (c) The maximum wavelength for photoe wavelength of light must be used in order for electrons with a maximum energy of 1.5 BI eV to be ejected? on metal Jectric emission in tungsten is 230 nm. What 3. (a) A measurement establishes the position with an accuracy of + 1.00 x 107! m. Find the uncertainty in the proton’s position 1.00 second later.
