Paragraph for Question Nos. 16 to 18

p-Amino-N, N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of X. The resulting solution is treated with
a few drops of aqueous solution of Y to yield blue coloration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment
of the aqueous solution of Y with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) leads to the formation of an
intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves on excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, treatment of
the solution of Y with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) leads to a brown coloration due to the
formation of Z.

orbit. Their tangential velocities are v and 2v, respectively, as shown in the figure. Between collisions, the

each collision. The first collision will be at a point P and second at point Q again and before third
collision the particles will reach at A.

42  24

For |u| = 48 or |u| = 2f or |v| = 2f so (48, 48) is correct observation

For |u| = 66 cm ; |f| = 24 cm

( 66 ) ( 24 )
|v| =  36 cm which is not in the permissible limit

so (66, 33), is incorrect recorded

For |u| = 78, |f| = 24 cm

(78 ) ( 24 )
|v| =  32 cm which is also not in the permissible limit.

50. If the resultant of all the external forces acting on a system of particles is zero, then from an inertial frame,
one can surely say that

(A) linear momentum of the system does not change in time

(B) kinetic energy of the system does not changes in time
(C) angular momentum of the system does not change in time
(D) potential energy of the system does not change in time

RESONANCE Page # 30
Sol. (A)
(A) Since there in no resultant external force, linear momentum of the system remains constant.
(B) Kinetic energy of the system may change.
(C) Angular momentum of the system may change as in case of couple, net force is zero but torque
is not zero. Hence angular momentum of the system is not constant.
(D) Potential energy may also change.

respectively. Then

(A) Cp – Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
(B) Cp + Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
(C) Cp / Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas

paragraph. Each question has 4 choices (A),(B),(C) and (D) for its answer, out of which ONLY ONE is
correct.

Paragraph for Question Nos. 53 to 55

Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, 12 H , known as

deuteron and denoted by D, can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The D-D reaction is
2 2
1 H 1 H 32 He  n  energy . In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into

deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of 12 H nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei

move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place.
Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the
plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time t0 before the particles fly away from
the core. If n is the density (number/volume) of deuterons, the product nt0 is called Lawson number. In one of
the criteria, a reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than 5×1014 s/cm3.

Paragraph for Question Nos. 56 to 58

When a particle is restricted to move along x-axis between x = 0 and x = a, where a is of nanometer
dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in
such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends x = 0 and
x = a. The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum p of the particle according to

p2
the de-Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass m is related to its linear momentum as E = .
2m
Thus, the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number ‘n’ taking values 1,2,3,......., (n = 1,
called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave.
Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving in the line x = 0
to x = a. Take h = 6.6 × 10–34 J s and e = 1.6 × 10–19 C.
