INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE BANGALORE - 560012 ENTRANCE TEST FOR ADMISSIONS - 2008 Program : Research Entrance Paper : Materials Science Paper Code : MR Day & Date SUNDAY, 27™ APRIL 2008 Time 9.00 A.M. TO 12.00 NOON ©General Instructions 1. This question paper has two parts (AB), Answer all the questions from part A. Each question carries one mark. Answer any 10 questions from part B. Each question carries 5 marks. 2. Answers for part A have to be marked in the OMR sheet, while part B should be answered on the answer book provided. . - 3. For each question, darken the appropriate bubble in the OMR to indicate your answer. 4. Use only HB pencils for darkening the bubble. 5. Darken only one bubble per question, Jf you darken more than one, the answer will be evaluated as incorrect. 6. In case you wish to change your answer, erase the existing one completely before darkening another bubble. 7. There is no negative marking. ‘The following physical constants and conversion factors may be of some use: Planck’s constant (h), = 6.626x10 - Js Electro rest mass (m.), = 9.108x107! kg Proton rest mass (tmp), = 1.673x107” kg Electronic charge (¢), = 1.602x10 C Boltzmann's constant (kp), = 1.380x107 KK Avagadro’s number (Na), = 6.022x10 . number per mol Speed of light in vacuum (c),- = 2.998x10° "m/s Permittivity of free space (e;), = — 8.884x10 Fim Permeability of free space(1s.) = 40d0?
