phenomenon is known as
mirage.

12. Explain Doppler effect in light. Distinguish between Red shift and Blue shift.
A: Doppler effect in light: According to Doppler effect, whenever there is a relative motion between a
source of light and observer, the apparent frequency of light received by the observer is different from
the true frequency of light emitted actually from the source of light.
The apparent frequency of light increases when the distance between source of light and observer
is decreasing and the apparent frequency of light decreases if the distance between source of light and
observer is increasing.

Sr. INTER PHYSICS

Blue shift: When source and observer approach each other, ∆υ is +ve. i.e., Apparent frequency
increases or apparent wavelength decreases. This is called Blue shift
Red shift: When source and observer recede away from each other, ∆υ is −ve. i.e., Apparent
frequency decreases or apparent wavelength increases. This is called Red shift.

16. Describe the ways in which Eddy currents are used to advantage.
A:
w
H Eddy currents are used to advantage in certain applications.
Electric power meters: The shiny metal disc in the electric power meter (analogue type) rotates due
to the eddy currents. Electric currents are induced in the disc by magnetic fields produced by
sinusoidally varying currents in a coil. We can observe the rotating shiny disc in the power meter of
your house.
Magnetic braking in trains: Strong electromagnets are situated above the rails in some electrically
powered trains. When the electromagnets are activated, the eddy currents induced in the rails oppose
the motion of the train and the braking effect is smooth.
Electromagnetic damping: Certain galvanometers have a fixed core made of non−magnetic
metallic material. When the coil oscillates, the eddy currents generated in the core oppose the motion
and bring the coil to rest quickly.
Induction furnace: Induction furnace can be used to produce high temperatures and can be utilized
to prepare alloys, by melting the constituent metals. A high frequency alternating current is passed
through a coil which surrounds the metals to be melted. The eddy currents generated in the metals
produce high temperatures sufficient to melt it.

20. State the working principle of potentiometer. Explain with the help of circuit diagram. How the emf

Working principle of potentiometer: When a current is passed through a wire of uniform cross

V∝l
V = ϕl
Comparison of emf of two cells:
H The primary circuit consists of a cell of emf ‘E’, internal resistance ‘r’ connected in series to a key
K1 and rheostat Rh.
H In the secondary circuit, two cells whose emf’s ε1 and ε2 are to be compared are connected.
H First, the key is connected between 1 and 3, so that the galvanometer is connected to ε1.
The position of jockey is adjusted on the potentiometer wire and balance point is obtained at l1(AN1).
