light is smaller than that of red light. Therefore, the speed of blue light is lower than that of red light in a
medium.

Hence, the intensity of light falling on the metal surface gets

The photo current does not depend on the frequency of incident
radiation as:
Ek = h¨ – W
If the frequency is doubled
Ek/ = 2h¨ - W
=> Ek//Ek = (2h¨ – W)/(h¨ – W) = (2h¨ – 2W + W)/(h¨ – W)
= 2 + W/(h¨ – W) > 2
i.e. maximum KE will increase slightly more than double.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:- when positive half cycle or a.c takes place the diode is
forward biased and output is obtained across the load resistance Rc. But when it
negative half cycle diode is reverse biased and no current flows, hence there is
no output across load resistance Rc. So only half is obtained as output.

59. For a transistor working as a common base amplifier, current gain is 0.96. If
the emitter current is 7.2mA, then calculate the base current.
57. In NPN transistor circuit, the collector current is 5mA. If 95% of the electrons Here
emitted reach the collector region, what is the base current?
α = 0.96 , Ie = 7.2mA
Here
α = Ic / Ie
Ic=95% of Ie = (95 / 100 ) Ie
Ie = (100 / 95) × 5 mA = 5.26mA ∴Ic = α Ie = 6.91 mA
Ie= Ic+ Ib I b = Ie – I c
Ib = 0.25 mA Ib = 0.29 mA.

Ib = 105 × 10-6 A Ic = 2.05 × 10-3A
β = Ic / Ib = 19.5

b A maximum current is flowing, so the electrons have maximum speed up and
down the antenna. The electric current produces the magnetic field.
The magnetic wave is best detected by placing a loop of wire (with its ends hooked
to a current detector) in the path of the wave. The changing magnetic field causes a
current in the loop.
5.The small ozone layer on the top of the atmosphere is crucial for human survival.
Why?
The ozone in the atmosphere is confined to the ozone layer, some 50-80 km above
the ground. The ozone layer blocks the passage of the ultra-violet radiations; x-rays and
y-rays from the solar and other extra-terrestrial sources and effectively protects us from
the dangerous and harmful portions of solar radiations as they cause genetic damages
to living cells. Practically all radiations of wave length less than 3 x 10-7m are absorbed
by the ozone layer. This explains why ozone layer on the top of the atmosphere is
crucial for human survival.
6.How does "Green House Effect" affect the temperature of the earth's surface ?

7.How do we make television broadcasts for larger coverage and for long distance?
By using (i) tall antennas which is familiar landmark in many cities and (ii) using
artificial satellites —called geostationary satellites. Since television signals are of high
frequency and are not reflected by ionosphere so we use satellites to get them reflected
& transmission of TV signals can be used for larger coverage as well as for long
distance.

known as Lamb shift].
(Hi) 2.7 K temperature associated with the isotropic radiation filling all space-thought to be

(iv) 5890 A - 5896 A [double lines of sodium].
(v) 14.4 keV [energy of a particular transition in 57Fe nucleus associated with a famous
high resolution spectroscopic method (Mossbauer spectroscopy).
Ans. (i) Radio (short wavelength end) (ii) Radio (short wavelength end) (Hi) Microwave (iv)
Visible (Yellow) (v) X-rays (or soft y-ray) region.
34. Electromagnetic waves in a cavity with conducting walls can exist only in certain
modes i.e., they cannot exist, for example, with any arbitrary wavelength. Suggest a
simple reason why this should be so.
Ans. The waves must satisfy a boundary condition. The electric field should be zero on the
walls of the conductor. This restricts the possible modes. [It is something like the restricted
modes of a string fixed at two ends.]
