Solution
Section A

1. (b) Inelastic scattering of light by molecules

Explanation: The Indian physicist C.V. Raman helped the growth of science in his
country. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when
light passes through a transparent material, some of the light changes in wavelength.
This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering.
2. (c) 12 m
Explanation:

The speed is constant, so this is uniform circular motion. We are given the radius
R=5.0 m and the period T=4.0 s, so we can calculate the acceleration directly using
equation

= = 12m/s​2

3. (d) 640 N
Explanation:

4. (c) 7.2 m
Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the elevator be ‘a’ downwards. As the elevator is going
downwards the marble has to travel a distance more than 2 m in order to strike the
floor.

10 / 28
 Distance travelled by elevator in 1.2 s =

Distance travelled by marble in 1.2 s =

This distance should be equal to height of marbel + distance covered by elevator.

So,

17. Triple point of water represents the values of pressure and temperature at which
water co-exists in equilibrium in all the three states of matter.

18. Law of floatation states that a body will float in a liquid, if weight of the liquid
displaced by the immersed part of the body is at least equal to or greater than the
weight of the body.

19. Calorimeters are made up of metal only because they are good conductor of heat and
hence the heat exchange is quick which is the basic requirement for the working of
calorimeter.

20. Propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium leads to transmission of the

physical quantity 'energy' along with the wave, through the medium.

OR

12 / 28
 Because propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium, involves changes in
pressure and volume of air when compressions and rarefactions are formed.

A filament type electric lamp contains small quantity of some inert gases e.g.,

14 / 28
 helium or argon, etc. The purpose of adding the inert gas is to uniformly spread the
heat energy emitted by the bulb. As the filament of the electric lamp is heated up on
passing electric current, inert gas particles coming in contact with filament acquire
heat energy and drift away. In turn, colder gas particles move towards the filament.
Thus, convection currents are set up and inert gas is uniformly heated and so is the
glass bulb.

27. Here T = 27 oC = 300 K and atomic mass of oxygen = 16. Since oxygen is a diatomic gas,

hence its molar mass M0 = 2 16 = 32 g = 32 10-3 kg

rms speed of oxygen molecule v =

= 483.4 ms-1 5 105 ms-1

OR

Suppose, Vr.m.s. and V1r.m.s. are the root mean square speeds of Argon and helium

atoms at temperature T and T1 respectively.

R = Universal Gas constant
T = Temperature
M = Atomic Mass of Gas

Now, Vr.m.s.

Now, M = Mass of Argon = 39.9

M1 = Mass of Helium = 4.0

T1 = Temperature of helium = -200C

T1 = 273 + (-20) = 253 K.

T = Temperature of Argon = ?

Since Vr.m.s. = V-1r.m.s

Squaring both side,

15 / 28
 Putting the values of T1, M1 & M

28. Let us assume that T

or, T = kmalbgc ....................................................(i)

where, k is a dimensionless constant.
The dimensions of various quantities are
[T] = T, [m] = M,

[l] = L, and [g] = LT-2

Substitute these values in Eq.(i), we obtain

T = [M]a[L]b[LT-2]c

or, M0L0T1 = MaLb+cT-2c

Now equate the powers of M, L and T on both sides, we obtain
a = 0, b + c = 0, -2c = 1
On solving, a = 0,

From experiments, k = 2

Therefore, T = , which is the required expression.

29. Case I : When the lift was stationary,

t = time to each maximum height

u = 49 m/s , v = 0 at maximum height.

Since upward motion, therefore a = - 9.8 ms-2

v = u + at

Hence, the total time of flight = 2t = 2 5 = 10 s.

Case II : The lift was moving up with a uniform velocity of 5 m/s. In this case, the

16 / 28
 relative velocity of the ball with respect to the boy remains the same i.e., 49 m/s.
Therefore, in this case also, the ball will return back to the boy's hand after 10 s.

30. The principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem)
states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the
change in the kinetic energy of the particle. This definition can be extended to rigid
bodies by defining the work of the torque and rotational kinetic energy.
The work W done by the net force on a particle equals the change in the particle’s
kinetic energy KE:

where vi and vf are the speeds of the particle before and after the application of force,

and m is the particle’s mass.

Given:
Mass of the block, m = 1 kg

Spring constant, k = 100 N m-1

Displacement in the block, x = 10 cm = 0.1 m
The given situation can be shown as in the following figure.

At equilibrium:
Normal reaction, R= mg cos 37°
Frictional force, f = R = mg sin 37°
Where is the coefficient of friction

Net force acting on the block = mg sin 37o - f

At equilibrium, the work done by the block is equal to the potential energy of the
spring, i.e.,

shown in. Let P be the Free Videos section at any instant of the body dropped from
one end of the tunnel, where OP-x The Earth can be considered to be made of two
parts. Its outer shell-I does not exert any force on the particle. The gravitational force
on the particle is only due to the sphere-ll of radius x. If p is the density of the Earth,
The acceleration due to gravity at a depth d below the earth surface is given by:

where x is distance from centre of earth

As acceleration is proportional to displacement Hence the motion is S.H.M

T = Time period

The largest average velocity of blood is given as:

= 1.966 m/s
Therefore, the largest average velocity of blood is 1.966 m/s.
b. Yes, As the fluid velocity increases, the dissipative forces become more important.
From Newton's law of viscous drag, we know that .This is because of
the rise of turbulence. From this equation it can be explained that, as increases,
velocity gradient also increases, causing more viscous drag i.e. the dissipative
force also increases because of turbulence.

 OR

Height of the water column, h1 = 10 + 15 = 25 cm

Height of the spirit column, h2 = 12.5 + 15 = 27.5 cm

Density of water, = 1 g cm-3

Density of spirit, = 0.8 g cm-3

Density of mercury = 13.6 g cm-3

Let h be the difference between the levels of mercury in the two arms.

Pressure exerted by height h, of the mercury column:

=h g

=h 13.6g … (i)

Difference between the pressures exerted by water and spirit:

= 3g … (ii)

Equating equations (i) and (ii), we get:

13.6 hg = 3g

h = 0.220588 0.221 cm

Hence, the difference between the levels of mercury in the two arms is 0.221 cm.

if m is mass of gas in grams

Number of moles =

Molar specific heat at constant pressure for nitrogen,

by heat formula :

So 933.38 J is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature by 450C..

34. i. The wavelength of a harmonic wave is the distance covered by the wave motion
during the time in which a medium particle completes one vibration to and fro

is the minimum distance between two consecutive points in the same phase.
ii. Frequency of a harmonic wave is the number of vibrations per unit time by a
medium element as the wave passes through it. The frequency of a wave is
defined as reciprocal of its time period and is related to angular frequency by
the relation,
Frequency = =

SI unit of frequency is s-1 or Hz.

iii. The amplitude of a harmonic wave is the magnitude of maximum displacement
of a medium particle (or element) from its equilibrium position as the wave passes
through it. The amplitude of a wave is a positive quantity and its SI unit is 1 metre.

i. When a force acts on a body or on a system or on a particle for some time, then the
product of the force and the time interval is called impulse.
Impulse

 v2 = u2 + 2as

before it touched the ground.

Now, Let u' be the velocity of rebound of the ball (after it lost some kinetic energy
due to collision with the ground). Given, RS = s' = 0.5 m, the final velocity at R is
zero, we have

v'2 = u'2 + 2as

v'2 = u'2 + 2as

(negative sign indicates that displacement is

against the direction of acceleration due to gravity i.e. upward)
We know that, Impulse = Change in momentum

36. a. This theorem is applicable only to the planar bodies. Bodies which are flat with
very less or negligible thickness. This theorem states that the moment of inertia of
a planar body about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of its
moments of inertia about two perpendicular axes concurrent with the
perpendicular axis and lying in the plane of the body.
A physical body with centre O and a point mass m, in the is
shown in the following figure:

 Moment of inertia about x-axis,
Moment of inertia about y-axis,
Moment of inertia about z-axis,
Now,

Hence, the theorem is proved.

b. Parallel axis theorem is applicable to bodies of any shape. The theorem of parallel
axis states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis parallel to an axis
passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of
body about an axis passing through centre of mass and product of mass and
square of the distance between the two axes.

Suppose a rigid body is made up of n particles, having masses

at perpendicular distances respectively
from the centre of mass O of the rigid body.
The moment of inertia about axis RS passing through the point O:

IRS =

The perpendicular distance of mass mi, from the axis

Hence, the moment of inertia about axis

passing through the centre of mass is zero,

Also,

Hence, the theorem is proved.

THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM STATES THAT: "When

the net external torque acting on a system about a given axis is. zero , the
total angular momentum of the system about that axis remains constant."
Mathematically, If then = constant.

In this problem,as all the forces are conservative in nature and external torque on
the system is zero so angular momentum of the system will remain conserved
although energy of the system may not remain constant if external forces are acting
on the system.

From the conservation of angular momentum, we have:

b. Kinetic energy is not conserved in the given process. In fact, with the decrease in
the moment of inertia, kinetic energy increases. The additional kinetic energy
comes from the work done by the man to fold his hands toward himself.(muscular
work done by the man will be converted into kinetic energy)

In equilibrium, weight of cylinder = Weight of liquid displaced
mg = A l g

Now say the cylinder is pushed down by y into the liquid, then
Total upward thrust, F2 = A (l + y) g (since effective depth = l+y)

Restoring force, F = - (F2 - mg)

F = -[A(l + y) g - Al g] = -A gy........(iii)

26 / 28
We know that In SHM, F -y
F=- y ...(iv)
Comparing equation (iii) with equation (iv) we get,
Spring factor, k = A g
Inertia factor = mass of the cylinder(m) = AL
Now, we know the formula of time period, T =

Hence, T = ..............(v)

Using, m = Al = AL
So,
Using the above value we get time period,

T=

OR

In mechanics and physics, Simple Harmonic Motion is a special type of periodic

motion or oscillation motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the
displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.

Spring constant, k = 1200 N m-1

Mass, m = 3 kg
Displacement, A = 2.0 cm = 0.02 cm

i. Frequency of oscillation v, is given by the relation:

Where T is the time period

Hence, the frequency of oscillations is 3.18 cycles per second.

ii. Maximum acceleration (a) is given by the relation:

Where,

= Angular frequency =

A = Maximum displacement

27 / 28
 Hence, the maximum acceleration of the mass is 8.0 m/s2.
iii. Maximum velocity,

Hence, the maximum velocity of the object is 0.4 m/s at its mean position i.e at x =
0.
