Work done by a conservative force is positive if
A steel rod of radius R = 10mm and length L= 100 cm is stretched along its length by a force F = 6.28 ×104 N. If the Young’s modulus of steel is Y = 2 × 1011 N/m2,the percentage elongation in the length of the rod is :

Solution
A car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn of frequency f. The reflected sound heard by the driver has as frequency 2f. If v be the velocity of sound,then the velocity of the car, in the same velocity units, will be

\(L = \frac{Q}{m} = \frac{J}{kg} = Jkg^{-1}\)
A person travels along a straight road for the first half time with a velocity v1 and the second half time with a velocity v2. Then the mean velocity v is given by
-
Solution
Let for the first half time t, the person travels a distance
s1. Hence \(v_{1}=\frac{s_{1}}{t}\: or\: s_{1}=v_{1}t\)
For second half time,\(v_{2}=\frac{s_{2}}{t}\: or\: s_{2}=v_{2}\: t\)
Now, \(\overline{v}=\frac{Total\: displacement}{Total\: time}=\frac{s_{1}+s_{2}}{2t}\)
\(=\frac{v_{1}t+v_{2}t}{2t}=\frac{v_{1}+v_{2}}{2}\)
An ideal gas is taken through a process in which the pressure and the volume are changed according to the equation P =kV. Molar heat capacity of the gas for the process is

Solution
For a monatomic gas
Cv = 3⁄2 R
So correct graph is
Doubly ionised helium atom and hydrogen ions are accelerated, from rest, through the same potential difference.The ratio of final velocities of helium and hydrogen is

Solution
The length of a metal is l1 when the tension init is T1 and is l2 when the tension is T2. The original length of the wire is

Solution
When a body is heated, which colour corresponds to high temperature
-
Solution
When a body is heated then relation between colours and temperature is according to Prevost’s theory of radiation which states that everybody emitting radiant energy in all directions at a rate depending only on the nature of its surface and its temperature e.g., when a body is placed in an enclosure (furnace) it would acquire the temperature of furnace and seem white means radiate white light. So it becomes first dark and then white.
A monochromatic light wave of wave length λ enters a medium of refractive index μ= 2.Which of the following statements is true ?
-
Solution
Frequency is the fundamental characteristic of the wave which does not change from one to other medium.
The X-rays of wavelength 0.5 Å are scattered by a target.What will be the energy of incident X-rays, if these are scattered at an angle of 72º ?

Solution
For an ideal gas graph is shown for three processes. Process1, 2 and 3 are respectively.

Solution
Isochoric proceess dV = 0
W = 0 proceess 1
Isobaric : W = PΔV = nRΔT
Adiabatic |W |= \(\frac{nR\Delta T}{\gamma -1}\) 0< γ– 1< 1 As work done in case of adiabatic process is more soprocess 3 is adiabatic and process 2 is isobaric.
