ISC Class 12 Physics Solved Question Paper 2012

Short Answer Type

31. In Young’s double slit experiment using monochromatic light of wave-length 600 nm, interference pattern was obtained on a screen kept l-5m away from the plane of the two slits. Calculate the distance between the two slits, if fringe separation/fringe width was found to be 1-0 mm.

34. For any prism, show that refractive index of its material is given by:

straight n space or space straight mu space equals space fraction numerator sin space open parentheses begin display style fraction numerator straight A space plus straight delta subscript straight m over denominator 2 end fraction end style close parentheses over denominator sin space open parentheses begin display style straight A over 2 end style close parentheses end fraction

where the terms have their usual meaning.

35. Figure 6 below shows a parallel beam of monochromatic light incident on a convex spherical surface, radius of curvature R = 30 cm, which separates glass (refractive index = 1.6) from air. Find the position of the image formed due to refraction of light at this single spherical surface.

37. A compound microscope consists of an objective of focal length 2 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5 cm. When an object is kept 2.4 cm from the objective, final image formed is virtual and 25 cm from the eye piece. Determine magnifying power of this compound microscope in this set up i.e. in normal use.

(i) Define Resolving Power of a simple astronomical telescope.

(ii) State one advantage of a reflecting telescope over refracting telescope.

(i) Resolving power of a telescope is its ability to see two very closely objects just separate

(ii) Advantage of reflecting telescope over refracting telescope is, there is no loss of light in case of reflection, image produced by a reflecting telescope is much brighter than that produced by a refracting telescope.

ndeviated through a uniform electric field $straight E with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top$ for intensity 5 x 10⁴ Vm^-1 and a uniform magnetic field $straight B with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top$ .

(i) Find the magnitude of magnetic flux density B of the magnetic field.

(ii) What is the direction of $straight B with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top space comma space if space space straight v with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top$ is towards right and $straight E with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top$ is vertically downwards in the plane of this paper?
