Answer
- Since both the diodes are forward biased net resistance = 0
$\text{i}=\frac{2\text{V}}{2\Omega}=1\text{A}$
- One of the diodes is forward biased and other is reverse biase.
$\text{i}=\frac{2}{2+\infty}=0\text{A}$
Both are forward biased.
Thus the resistance is 0.
$\text{i}=\frac{2}{2}=1\text{A}.$
One is forward biased and other is reverse biased.
Thus the current passes through the forward biased diode.
$\therefore\text{i}=\frac{2}{2}=1\text{A}.$

Two small balls A and B, each of mass m, are joined rigidly to the ends of a light rod of lengh L (figure). The system translates on a frictionless horizontal surface with a velocity vo in a direction perpendicular to the rod. A particle P of mass m kept at rest on the surface sticks to the ball A as the ball collides with it. Find:

The refractive index of a material $M_1$ changes by 0.014 and that of another material $M_2$ changes by 0.024 as the colour of the light is changed from red to violet. Two thin prisms one made of $M_1(A = 5.3^\circ)$ and other made of $M_2(A = 3.7^\circ)$ are combined with their refracting angles oppositely directed.
→- Find the angular dispersion produced by the combination.
- The prisms are now combined with their refracting angles similarly directed. Find the angular dispersion produced by the combination.
Deutrium was discovered in 1932 by Harold Urey by measuring the small change in wavelength for a particular transition in ${ }^1 \mathrm{H}$ and ${ }^2 \mathrm{H}$. This is because, the wavelength of transition depend to a certain extent on the nuclear mass. If nuclear motion is taken into account then the electrons and nucleus revolve around their common centre of mass. Such a system is equivalent to a single particle with a reduced mass $\mu$, revolving around the nucleus at a distance equal to the electron-nucleus separation. Here $\mu=\frac{m_e M}{m_e+M}$ where $M$ is the nuclear mass and me is the electronic mass. Estimate the percentage difference in wavelength for the $1^{\text {st }}$ line of the Lyman series in ${ }^1 \mathrm{H}$ and ${ }^2 \mathrm{H}$. (Mass of ${ }^1 \mathrm{H}$ nucleus is $1.6725 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$, Mass of ${ }^2 \mathrm{H}$ nucleus is $3.3374 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$, Mass of electron $=9.109 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$ ).

The Bohr model for the H-atom relies on the Coulomb’s law of electrostatics. Coulomb’s law has not directly been verified for very short distances of the order of angstroms. Supposing Coulomb’s law between two opposite charge $+q_1, -q_2$ is modified to
$|\text{F}|=\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{(4\pi\in_0)}\frac{1}{\text{r}^2}.\text{r}\geq\text{R}_0$
