Question # 1

A satellite is orbiting around earth.Is its frame of reference inertial or non-inertial ?Justify your answer.

Ans 1: The motion of the satellite is synchronized with the earth so it is in the same frame of reference in which earth lies.Hence the frame of reference will be inertial.

Question # 2

Why don't we observe a Compton Effect with visible light?

Ans 1: The frequency of visible light is less than x rays,And the wavelength of visible light is much greater than the Compton of wavelength of electron,So compton effect can not observed with visible light.

Ans 1: Stopping potential:The stopping potential is the potential difference applied to stop the electrons from being ejected from the surface when the light fall on it.
Threshold frequency:The minimum of frequency of incident light at which electrons are emitted from a surface is called threshold frequency.

Question # 4

As a solid is heated and begins to glow ,why does it first of its absolute.

Ans 1: Since the red light has longest wavelength ,so it will be emitted first and solid appears red first.

Question # 5

The rest mass of photon is zero.Is its momentum also zero?

Ans 1: No,The rest mass of photon is zero.It travels in the form of small energy packets which are of equal wavelength .When it is in motion,it possesses some mass.So it which it will also have momentum.

What are the measurement on which two observers in relative motion will always agree upon?

Ans 1: Two observe in relative motion will always agree upon
1. Force
2. Acceleration

Question # 7

What is wave particle duality?

Ans 1: It says that light has dual nature;it travels in the form of waves but interacts with matter in the form of energy particle called as photon.e.g in interference ,reflection and polarization it show the properties of wave nature but in phenomena like pair production and compton's effect light acts as energy particle.

Question # 8

Question # 3

We do not notice the de-Broglie wavelength for a pitched cricket ball.Explain why?

Ans 1: According to de-Broglie hypothesis
λ =h/mv
As cricket ball has large mass,therefore wavelength of wavelength associated with it is so small that is not detectable.

Question # 4

What is wave particle duality?

Ans 1: It says that light has dual nature;it travels in the form of waves but interacts with matter in the form of energy particle called as photon.e.g in interference ,reflection and polarization it show the properties of wave nature but in phenomena like pair production and compton's effect light acts as energy particle.

Question # 5

Does the dilation mean that time really passes more slowly in moving system or that it only seems to pass more slowly.Explain briefly.

Ans 1: According to dilation formula
t= $\scriptstyle {\sqrt {1-{\frac {v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}}$ "
This relation show that a clock moving with respect to an observe appears to move slow then it does when it is at rest with respecttohim.So the moving clocks just appears to run slowly to the observer at rest.Hence time dilation is an apparent change and it only seems to pass more slowly but not actually.

Question # 6

Is it possible to create a single electron from energy?Explain

Ans 1: No it is not possible to create a single electron from energy.Creation of single electron will be against the law of conservation of charge and the law of conservation of momenteum.In pair production an electron positron pair is produces.

Question # 7

As a solid is heated and begins to glow ,why does it first of its absolute.

Ans 1: Since the red light has longest wavelength ,so it will be emitted first and solid appears red first.

Question # 8

Define pair production and annihilation of matter.

Ans 1: Pair production:The change of very high energy photon into an electron,positron pair is called pair production.
Annihilation of matter:When a positron comes close to an electron,they annihilation and produce two photons in the gamma rays range.It is called annihilation of matter.

Question # 9

Photoelectric effect give the evidence of the particle nature of light,Explain it how?

Ans 1: If light were simple a wave like phenomena ,then increasing the intensity and thereby increasing the total energy failing on the surface would be expected to eventually provide enough energy to release electron no matter what the frequency .Furthermore in the classical picture one would expect the maximum energy of the emitted electrons to depend on the intensity of light--but it does not.So this is evidence that light behaves as if it were a particle.

Question # 10

The rest mass of photon is zero.Is its momentum also zero?

Ans 1: No,The rest mass of photon is zero.It travels in the form of small energy packets which are of equal wavelength .When it is in motion,it possesses some mass.So it which it will also have momentum.
