17. (a) As we have n = c/v; v= 3x 10 /1.5= 2 x 10 ms (1) 2
(b) No. The refractive index and hence the speed of light in a medium,
depends on wavelength. Now we know violet colour deviates more
than red in a glass prism, nv>nr

(i) For a path difference of λ/4, phase difference is 2π/4 = π/2; so I = 2 I 0

(ii) For a path difference ,λ/3, phase differenc is 2π/3
I = I0 (1)

Derivation (2)
19. Slope of V0 versus υ graph gives a measure of h/e and is a constant. So 2
the slope of both the lines are same (1)
More is the threshold frequency more is the work function and vice
versa. As hυ = ꬾ0 + Ek for metal M1, kinetic energy of photoelectron is
less (1)
20. Diagrams 2

21. Drift velocity is defined as the average velocity with which a free 2
electron in the conductor gets drifted in a direction opposite to the
direction of the applied external electric field (1)
Derivation I = nAevd (1)

22. (a) Biot-Savart law states that the magnitude of the magnetic field d 3
B at any point due to small current element is given by d B =
µ0/4π( Idl sinϴ/r2) with expansion (1)
(b)

Bnet = 4π/R x 10-7 T (1)

Direction is π/6 (1)

23. I law : The algebraic sum of currents at a junction is zero 3

 II law : In a closed loop, the algebraic sum of the emf’s is equal to the
algebraic sum of the products of the resistances and the respective
currents in them (1)
We specify current in all the 12 edges of the cube in terms of I 1 using
Kirchoff’s I law and the symmetry.
apply II Law E = 5/2 IR and I = 4/3 A (2)

24. As C1/C2 = C3/C4, The points C and D are at same potential and no 3
charge flows through the capacitor C3
Circuit diagram (1 ½ )
C12 = 20/3 µF ; C34 = 10/3µF; Ceq = C12 + C34 = 10µF
Q = Ceq V = 10-4 C (11/2)

25. Derivation T = PE isnϴ (1) 3

(i) Charge enclosed in sphere S1 = 2 Q
So electric flux = 2Q/ϵ0
Charge enclosed in sphere, S2 =2Q +4Q =6Q
Flux = 6 Q//ϵ0
Ratio = 1/3
(ii) If a medium of relative permittivity ϵ r is filled inside sphere S1,
then flux = 2 Q//ϵ0 ϵr (2)

27. Calculation of mass defect (1) 3

 Mass defect = 0.528461 u
Binding energy = 0.528461 x 931 = 493 MeV (1)
Now for Bi , Mass defect = 1.7760877u
Binding energy for Bi = 1.7760877 x 931 = 1640 MeV
Binding energy per nucleon for fe and Bi (1)

critical angle

3. Statement (1)
(or)
Snell's window is a phenomenon by which an underwater viewer
sees everything above the surface through a cone of light of width
of about 96 degrees. This phenomenon is caused by refraction of
light entering water, and is governed by Snell's Law.
