NEET 2024 · PhysicsMatter wavePrevious Year Question

The 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:

Answer: (C) (see figure). Answer: (c) Solution: λ = h/p and E = p²/2m ⇒ p = √(2mE), so (1/λ)² = p²/h² = (2m/h²)·E.

  1. A.(see figure)
  2. B.(see figure)
  3. C.(see figure)
  4. D.(see figure)

Correct Answer

(C) (see figure)

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (c) Solution: λ = h/p and E = p²/2m ⇒ p = √(2mE), so (1/λ)² = p²/h² = (2m/h²)·E. Thus (1/λ)² is directly proportional to E — a straight line passing through the origin.

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