19. Given, f= 20cm ; n= 1.55 ; Let, the radius of curvature of each of two
surfaces of the lens be R. so, R1 = R and R2 = - R
By using, 1/f = (n-1) [ 1/R1 - 1/R2]
½
1/20 = (1.55-1) [ 1/R + 1/R ] or 1/20 = 0.55 ×2 / R or R =
½
22 cm
1
OR
1/f = (n-1) [ 1/R1 - 1/R2] ; 1/f = (n-1) [ 2/f] because, f = R
SO, (n-1) = ½ or n = 1.5
20. We know that, V = q / 4πϵ0 r so, V α 1/r
½+½+½
The potential due to a point charge decreases with increase of distance
+½
So, VA – VB > 0 Thus, VA > VB Hence, The charge q is positive
21. de-Broglie wavelength ʎ = h /mv given, vp = ve since, mp > me
1+1
since, ʎ α 1 /m thus, ʎp < ʎe
22. Since, φ = L I so, L = φ / I The slope of φ / I of straight line is equal to
self-inductance L. It is larger for inductor A so, inductor A has larger value of
L.
OR
1 + 1+1

23. (i) When capacitance is reduced, capacitive reactance Xc = 1 / Ωc increases, 1 + 1+1

 hence, impedance of circuit increases and so current I = V / Z decreases. As a
result the brightness of the bulb is reduced.
(ii) When frequency decreases, capacitive reactance Xc = 1 / 2πνC increases and
hence, impedance of circuit increases, so current decreases. As a result
brightness of bulb is reduced.
OR
Standard eq. of current is I = I0 Sin ωt , given I = 0.5 Sin 314 t By
comparing both eqs. We have, I0 = 0.5 A, ω = 314
(i) Irms = I0 / √ 2 = 0.5 /√ 2 = 0.35 A
Frequency ν = ω /2π = 314 /2 × 3.14 = 50 Hz

25. Metal A has higher work-function. It is because,

Work function W = h ν0 and ν’0 > ν0 so, work function of metal A is 1+1+1
more than B
OR

 We know that, (K.E.)max = eV = e (1.5 V) = 1.5 eV = 1.5 × 1.6 × 10-19 J = 2.4 ½

26. (i) (a) 1 and 2 correspond to same intensity but different material.
(b) 3 and 4 correspond to same intensity but different material.
This is because the saturation currents are same and stopping
potentials are different.
(ii) (a) 1 and 3 correspond to different intensity but same material.
(b) 2 and 4 correspond to different intensity but same material.
This is because, the stopping potentials are same but saturation currents are
different.
27. (a) Objective = 5D, Eyepiece = 10 D , This choice would give higher
magnification as M = f0 / fe = Pe / P0
1 + 1+1
(b) The aperture of the objective lens is preferred to be large that it may
collect sufficient light to form a brighter image of a distant object.

(i) Junction Law of Current Law : It states that the algebraic sum of all
the currents meeting at a point or junction in a closed electrical circuit
is zero.
Loop Law or Voltage Law : It states that the potential difference across all
the elements and e.m.f. of all sources in any closed electrical circuit is zero.

(ii) By applying Kirchhoff’s loop law to the closed loop ABCDA is

-2 i1 – 1.5 – 3 i2 + 3 = 0 or 2 i1 + 3 i2 = 1.5 ---------(1)
From circuit diagram, since, i1 and i2 are due to the net effect of two sources
of e.m.f. and resistances 2 ohm and 3 ohm are in series so,
currents, i1 = i2 = i -------(2)
From eq. (1) & (2)
2 i + 3 i = 1.5 or 5 i = 1.5 or i = 0.3 A Thus, i1=i2=0.3 A

29. (i) When battery remains connected, the potential difference remains the 1½+2
same. +1½

 (ii) As electric field, E = V /d & V = constant and d = constant so, electric
field strength remains the same
(iii)The capacitance of capacitor increases as K> 1

OR
Fig. derivation of E = σ / 2 ϵ0 This shows that the electric field strength
due to an infinite plane sheet of charge is independent of the distance of the
point. (i) If σ is
positive, electric field ( E) points normally outwards or away from the sheet
(ii) If σ is negative the E points normally inwards or towards the sheet.

Labelled ray diagram with derivation of magnifying power M = - f0 /fe if

image is formed at infinity
Or, if image is formed at LDDV then M = - f0 /fe ( 1 + fe/D) and
Length of telescope L = f0 + fe
Factors For Increasing The Magnifying Power :
1- Increasing focal length of objective
2- Decreasing focal length of eye piece.

i) Coherent sources are those which have exactly the same frequency
and are in the same phase or have a constant phase difference.
Sustainable Conditions : a) The sources must be monochromatic
and originating from common single source. (b) The amplitudes
the waves should be equal.
ii) Since, intensity is proportional to width of slit so, amplitude is
proportional to the square root of the width of the slit.

So, = w 1/w 2 ----- (1)
Imin
Now, = (a1-a2)2 / (a1+a2)2 = (1 – a2/a1)2 / (1+a2/a1)2
Imax
Or, 9/25 = (1 – a2/a1)2 / (1+a2/a1)2 or, 3/5 = (1 – a2/a1) / (1+a2/a1)
Or, 8 (a2/a1) = 2 or a1/a2 = 4/1 ------ (2)
From eq (1) & (2)
√ w 1/w 2 = 4/1 or, w1/w2 = 16/1
