\ 1, (1#}) are zero when the chosen axes are the principal axes of the object. Though fora
sphere any orthogonal set of axes with origin at the centre form principal axes and as such
.. = 0, the condition above cannot guarantee that the object is sphere. Hence
Correct: ¢As the earth is rotating around its own axis, the frame of reference on the surface of the
is non-inertial frame. The expression for the coriolis force in this non-inertial frame is
F, =2m y (of object on the earth) @ (of the earth)
Most of the variation in g arises due to centrifugal force on the earth’s surface. As @y a
points from south to north, ,, x @ changes the direction in the southern hemisphert

Correct: b
Laser beam always has the fixed phase. So the phase difference is constant even fort
pendent laser beams. That means these two beams are coherent. For interference equal
is not essential.

If the resolving power of the grating is larger than 4 / 4A. then and then only the do
resolved. The RP of a grating is nN where n is the order of the spectrum and N ist!
number of lines in the grating. For the given grating N= ]600x 0.25 = 400 lines

Correct :¢Fraunhofer lines in solar spectrum are dark lines and the presence of Helium in solar corona is
detected during solar eclipse.

‘The spin of the photon is 1. The speed of the photon (i.e. of electromagnetic wave) in any
medium with €, is c/ ./e . Rest mass of the photon is zero. Kinetic energy in the
relativistic situation is defined as KE= E,,,~m,,c?= E,, = hv>0. The chemical potential
which is instrumental for the Bose Einstein condensation is zero because m_..=0.

Intermolecular force is non-zero for a real gas. As the molecules are closer to each other, at
higher pressure, they experience larger attraction which makes them go nearer to each other
(aterm). Alsoas they are closer the volume of the molecules is not negligible. that is avaikabve
volume for the motion of the molecules decreases. (b term). .
The dimensions of (b/aR)= volume / (Pressurex volume?) xR
= (1/R)x I/ (Pressure x Volume) = 1/R x 1/RT

The total energy radiated by the black body kept at T K (Stefan’s Law) is proportional to T',
In the radiation pattern, T = constant (Wien’s Displacement Law) where/., is the wavelength
at which the intensity is maximum.
