1. Ultraviolet light is incident on two photosensitive materials having work

functions W1 and W2 (W1 > W2), in which case will the kinetic energy
of the emitted electrons be greater? Why?
2. Define the terms: Threshold frequency, stopping potential.
3. A right-angled crown glass prism with critical angle 41 is placed
before an object PQ, in two positions as shown in the figures (i) and (ii).
Trace the paths of the rays from P and Q the prisms in the two cases.

4. (a) Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the formation of an image by

a compound microscope. Derive the expression for its magnifying
power.
5. Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how refraction takes place
through a prism .
6. Mention the significance of Davisson-Germer experiment. An particle
and a proton are accelerated from rest through the same potential
difference V. Find the ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths associated with
them.
7. How does the photoelectric current vary with the following
(i)
If frequency of incident ligh is increased
(ii)
If the intensity of incident light is increased. Give reasons in
support of your answer.
8. Monochromatic light is refracted from air into glass .of refractive index
n, Find the ratio of wavelengths of the incident and refracted light.
Write two conditions necessary for total internal reflection to take
place.
9. A concave mirror and a convex lens are separately first held in air and
then placed in water. What changes, do you expect in the focal length
of each ?
10.
An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy. Which of
the two has a greater wavelength? Explain..

11.
Using the data given below, state as to which of the given lenses
will you prefer to use as(i) an eyepiece, and (ii) an objective, to
construct an astronomical telescope. Give reason for your answer.

12.
Show by a diagram the image formation of a point object by a
thin double convex lens having radii of curvature R1 and R2 . Hence
derive the formula
