1. The equipotential surfaces due to a single isolated charge are concentric spherical
surfaces. As the distance from the charge increases the electric field strength will
decrease and the distance between the spherical surfaces will increase.

2. The relation between the angle of incidence i , angle of prism A and angle of
minimum deviation is:
Angle of minimum deviation = m =2i-A

q
3. Electric flux through the plates of the capacitor =
0
As q is constant after the capacitor is fully charged, will also be a constant.
d
So displacement current Id= 0 =0
dt
dV
Conduction current = Ic = C =0 as V is constant.
dt
Ic = Id when the capacitor will be fully charged.

4. Curve 1 and 3 and curves 2and 4 corresponds to different materials.

For a given frequency of incident radiation the stopping potential is independent of
intensity of light. As the pair of curves: 1&3 and 2& 4 have different stopping
potential so those materials are different.

5. (i) Heat waves can be polarized as it is transverse wave and propagates in

perpendicular direction to the direction of vibration / disturbance in individual
particle
(ii) Sound waves cannot be polarized as it is longitudinal wave. In longitudinal wave
the disturbance/oscillation in individual particle take place in the direction of
propagation of wave.

6. Value of current in the circuit:

Applying Kirchoffs loop rule, we get

13. Lenzs law states that the polarity of induced e.m.f. is such that it opposes the change
in magnetic flux which caused it to produce.
Yes, there will be an e.m.f. induced due to changing magnitude of earth's magnetic
field.

As the rod is rotated, free electrons in the rod move towards the outer end due to
Lorentz force and get distributed over the ring. Thus, the resulting separation of
charges produces an emf across the ends of the rod. At a certain value of emf, there
is no more flow of electrons and a steady state is reached. The magnitude of the emf
generated across a length dr of the rod as it moves at right angles to the magnetic
field is given by

mn is mass of neutron, mass of proton , mass of electron antineutrino,

mass of electron.

(b) Photon picture of electromagnetic radiation on which Einsteins photoelectric

equation is based on particle nature of light. Its basic features are:
i. When interacting with matter radiation behaves like particles called photon.
ii. Each photon has energy E= h and momentum p= h /c and c= speed of light.
iii. All photons of light of a particular frequency ,wave length have same energy
E=h =hc/ and momentum p= h /c what ever is the intensity of radiation be.
iv. By increasing the intensity of light of given wavelength, there is only an increase
in the number of photons per second crossing a given area, with each photon having
the same energy. So photon energy is independent of incident intensity.
v. Photons are electrically neutral and are not deflected by electric and magnetic
fields.
vi. Photon particle collision is completely elastic in nature.
