Question
  1. Draw the circuit diagram of a fullwave rectifier using $p-n$ junction diode. Explain its working and show the output, input waveforms.
  2. Show the output waveforms $(Y)$ for the following inputs $A$ and $B$ of
    1. $OR$ gate.
    2. $\ce{NAND}$ gate.

Answer


  1. Duringfirsthalf cycle:
    A is positive $\ce{w.r.t}$ centre tap but $B$ is negative, hence only diode $D_1$ conducts and current flows through the load in the sense $X$ to $Y$.
    During the second half cycle:
    B is positive $\ce{w.r.t}$ centre tap but $A$ is negative hence only diode $D_2$ conducts and again send currents through load from $X$ and $Y$.
    $\therefore$ Current through the load, in both the halves of input, is unidirectional.

A beam of light converges at a point P. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam 12 cm from P. At what point does the beam converge if the lens is (a) a convex lens of focal length 20 cm, and (b) a concave lens of focal length 16 cm?
Continuous $X-$rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming $X-$rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic $X-$rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only $\text{K}_\alpha$ intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation $v - (25 \times 10^{14}Hz)(Z - 1)^2.$​​​​​​​

Consider an excited hydrogen atom in state $n$ moving with a velocity $u(ν << c)$. It emits a photon in the direction of its motion and changes its state to a lower state $m$. Apply momentum and energy conservation principles to calculate the frequency $ν$ of the emitted radiation. Compare this with the frequency $ν_0$ emitted if the atom were at rest.

Both the capacitors shown in figure are made of square plates of edge a. The separations between the plates of the capacitors are $d_1$ and $d_2$ as shown in the figure. $A$ potential difference $V$ is applied between the points $a$ and $b,$ An electron is projected between the plates of the upper capacitor along the central line. With what minimum speed should the electron be projected so that it does not collide with any plate? Consider only the electric forces.
