2The temperature θ\theta at the junction of two insulating sheets, having thermal resistances R1R_1 and R2R_2, as well as top and bottom temperatures θ1\theta_1 and θ2\theta_2 respectively, is given by:
  • A) θ1R2+θ2R1R1+R2\dfrac{\theta_1R_2+\theta_2R_1}{R_1+R_2}
  • B) θ1R1+θ2R2R1+R2\dfrac{\theta_1R_1+\theta_2R_2}{R_1+R_2}
  • C) θ1R2−θ2R1R1−R2\dfrac{\theta_1R_2-\theta_2R_1}{R_1-R_2}

Answer: A
3In a Young's double slit experiment, two slits are separated by 2 mm and the screen is placed one metre away. When light of wavelength 500 nm is used, the fringe separation will be:
  • A) 0.75 mm
  • B) 0.50 mm
  • C) 1 mm
  • D) 0.25 mm
Answer: D
4Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: An electron microscope can achieve better resolving power than an optical microscope.
Reason R: The de Broglie wavelength of the electrons emitted from an electron gun is much less than the wavelength of visible light.
Choose the correct answer:
  • A) A is true but R is false.
  • B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • C) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • D) A is false but R is true.
Answer: C
5Four identical solid spheres, each of mass mm and radius aa, are placed with their centres on the four corners of a square of side bb. The moment of inertia of the system about one side of the square, where the axis of rotation is parallel to the plane of the square, is:

  • B) 85ma2+mb2\dfrac85 ma^2+mb^2
  • C) 45ma2+2mb2\dfrac45 ma^2+2mb^2
