NEET 2017 · PhysicsMatter wavePrevious Year Question

The de Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T (kelvin) and mass m is:

Answer: (B) h/√(3mkT). Answer: (b) h/√(3mkT) Solution: Thermal kinetic energy: KE = (3/2)kT.

  1. A.h/√(mkT)
  2. B.h/√(3mkT)
  3. C.2h/√(3mkT)
  4. D.2h/√(mkT)

Correct Answer

(B) h/√(3mkT)

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (b) h/√(3mkT) Solution: Thermal kinetic energy: KE = (3/2)kT. Momentum p = √(2m·KE) = √(3mkT). λ = h/p = h/√(3mkT).

PhysThe graph which shows the variation of (1/λ)² and the kinetic energy E of a free particle (where λ is the de Broglie wavelength of the particle) is:PhysAn electromagnetic wave of wavelength λ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If a photoelectron of mass m emitted from the surface has de Broglie wavelength λ_d, then:PhysA proton and an α-particle are accelerated from rest to the same energy. The de Broglie wavelengths λ_p and λ_α are in the ratio:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
