Question 11 Mark
Consider a ray of light incident from air onto a slab of glass (refractive index $n$ ) of width d , at an angle $\theta$. The phase difference between the ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is
Answer
(d) $\frac{4 \pi d}{\lambda}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^2} \sin ^2 \theta\right)^{1 / 2}+\pi$
Explanation: The ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is:-

Question 21 Mark
A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field, $B =0.025 T$ with its plane perpendicular to the loop. The radius of the loop is made to shrink at a constant rate of $1\ mm\ s ^{-1}$. The induced emf when the radius is $2 \ cm ,$ is
Answer
$(b)\ \pi \mu V$
Explanation:
$\phi=B \pi r^2 \cos 0^{\circ}=B \pi r^2$
$|\varepsilon|=\frac{d \phi}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(\pi r^2 B\right)=2 \pi r B \frac{d r}{d t}$
When $r =2 \ cm=2 \times 10^{-2} m$
$\frac{d r}{d t}=1\ mm\ s^{-1}=10^{-3}\ ms^{-1}$
$|\varepsilon|=0.025 \times \pi \times 2 \times 2 \times 10^{-2} \times 10^{-3}$
$=0.100 \times \pi \times 10^{-5}=\pi \mu V$

Question 31 Mark
Submarine cables act as
Answer
(d) cylindrical capacitor with outer cylinder earthed
Explanation: A submarine cable consists of an inner conductor which carries power. This conductor is covered by an insulator, which acts as a dielectric. The dielectric material is covered by a metal coating called shield, which is connected to ground. The cable acts as a cylindrical capacitor, with the conductor acting as the inner cylinder, and the metal shield as the outer cylinder which is connected to earth.

Question 51 Mark
The radius of curvature of the curved surface of a plano$-$convex lens is $20 \ cm$. If the refractive index of the material of the lens be $1.5$, it will
Answer
$(d)$ act as a convex lens irrespective of the side on which the object lies
Explanation:
The relation between focal length $f ,$ the refractive index of the given material $\mu, R _1$ and $R _2$ is known as lens maker's formula and it is $\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
$R_1=\infty, R_2=-R$
$f=\frac{R}{(\mu-1)}$
Image

Here$, R = 20 \ cm, \mu= 1.5$.
​​​​​​​On substituting the values, we get
$ f=\frac{R}{\mu-1}=\frac{20}{1.5-1}=40 \ cm $
As $f >0$ means converging nature.
Therefore, the lens act as a convex lens irrespective of the side on which the object lies.

Question 91 Mark
Assume that each diode shown in the figure has a forward bias resistance of $50 \Omega$ and an infinite reverse bia resistance. The current through the $150 \Omega$ resistance is
Image
Answer
$(a)\ 0.04 A$ 
Explanation: 
Diode $D_1$ is forward biased and offers $50 \Omega$ resistance.
Diode $D_2$ is reverse biased and offers infinite resistance.
The equivalent circuit is

Current through the $150 \Omega$ resistance,
$I=\frac{10}{50+50+150}$
$=\frac{10}{250}=0.04 A$

Question 111 Mark
A paramagnetic sample shows a net magnetisation of $8\ Am ^{-1}$ when placed in an external magnetic field of $0.6 T$ at a temperature of $4 K$ . When the same sample is placed in an external magnetic field of $0.2 T$ at a temperature of $16 K ,$ the magnetisation will be
Answer
$(b)\ \frac{2}{3} Am ^{-1}$
Explanation:
On increasing the temperature magnetic susceptibility of paramagnetic material decreases or vice versa .
According to Curie law, we can deduce a formula for the relation between magnetic field induction, temperature and magnetisation.
$i.e., I ($magnetization$) \propto \frac{B(\text { magnetic field induction })}{t(\text { temperature in kelvin })} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{B_2}{B_1} \times \frac{t_1}{t_2}$
Let us suppose, here $I _1=8 Am ^{-1}$
$ B _1=0.6 T, t _1=4 K$
$B _2=0.2 T, t _2=16 K$
$\Rightarrow \frac{0.2}{0.6} \times \frac{4}{16}=\frac{I_2}{8}$
$\Rightarrow I_2=8 \times \frac{1}{12}=\frac{2}{3} Am ^{-1}$
