MM : 35 TIME : 2 Hours
General Instructions:

(i) There are 12 questions in all. All questions are compulsory.

(ii) This question paper has three sections: Section A, Section B and Section C.
(iii) Section A contains three questions of two marks each, Section B contains eight
questions of three marks each and Section C contains one case study-based
question of five marks.
(iv) There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided in one
question of two marks and two questions of three marks. You have to attempt
only one of the choices in such questions.
(v) You may use log tables if necessary but use of calculator is not allowed.

SECTION A

Q.1 The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled. How does this affect -

(i) periodic time

(ii) maximum velocity
(iii) maximum acceleration
(iv) maximum energy

Q.2 The frequency of first overtone of a closed organ pipe is same as that of first overtone of an
open organ pipe. What is the ratio of their lengths?

Q.3 Show that the number of beats produced per second is equal to the difference between the
frequencies of the two superposing waves.

OR

A set of 24 tuning forks is arranged in a series of increasing frequencies. If each fork gives 4
beats per second with the preceding one and the last sounds the octave of the first, find the
frequencies of the first and the last forks.

Q.4 Find the amount of heat required to convert 2 kg of ice at -10°C into steam at 100°C.
Given specific heat capacity of ice is 0.5 cal/g °C, specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/g °C,
latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g & latent heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g).

Q.5 Find an expression for the excess of pressure inside a liquid drop of radius R. Find the
excess pressure inside a soap bubble 5mm in diameter. Surface tension of soap solution is 1.6
N/m.

OR

A liquid is in a streamline flow through a pipe of non-uniform cross section. Prove that the sum
of its kinetic energy, pressure energy and potential energy per-unit volume remains constant.

Q.6 (i)Draw a graph to show the variation of kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy of
a simple harmonic oscillator with displacement.
(ii) Find the value of displacement at which the kinetic energy and potential energy are equal.

y(x, t) = 0.005sin(80x-3t) in which the numerical constants are in SI units .
Find the amplitude, wavelength, frequency and speed of the wave
Is this a travelling wave or stationary wave? In which direction the wave advances in the
medium?

OR

wave

Q.11 One gram of water at 373 K is converted into steam at the same temperature at normal
pressure. The volume of 1 cm³ of water becomes 1671 cm³ on boiling. Calculate the change on
the internal energy of the system if the heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g
