MCQ
The minimum wavelength of the $X-$ rays produced by electrons accelerated through a potential difference of $V$ volts is directly proportional to
  • A
    $\sqrt V $
  • B
    ${V^2}$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt V $
  • $1/V$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1/V$
d
$h{\nu _{\max }} = eV$

$ \Rightarrow \,\frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _{\min }}}} = eV$

$\therefore \,\,{\lambda _{\min }} \propto \frac{1}{V}$

A system to $10$ balls each of mass $2 \; kg$ are connected via massless and unstretchable string. The system is allowed to slip over the edge of a smooth table as shown in figure. Tension on the string between the $7^{th}$ and $8^{th}$ ball is $N$ when $6^{th}$ ball just leaves the table.
A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75\, cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4\, beats$ per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2\, per second$. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340\, m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is

Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude $A$ and frequency $\omega$ along the $x-$axis. Their mean position is separated by distance $X_0(X_0 > A).$ If the maximum separation between them is $(X_0 + A)$, the phase difference between their motion is:
A combination of two thin lenses of the same material with focal lengths ${f_1}$ and ${f_2}$, arranged on a common axis minimizes chromatic aberration, if the distance between them is
A long horizontal rod has a bead which can slide along its length, and initially placed at a distance $L$ from one end $A$ of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about $A$ with constant angular acceleration $\alpha$. If the coefficient of friction between the rod and the bead is $\mu$, and gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is
