Section B, Q17: What are the limitations of Bohr’s theory of hydrogen atom?

• It applies only to hydrogen-like atoms (single electron systems like H, He^+, Li^++.

• It fails to explain the fine structure of spectral lines (splitting of lines).

• It cannot explain the Zeeman effect (splitting in a magnetic field) or the Stark effect (splitting in an electric field).

• It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle by treating the electron as a particle moving in a well-defined orbit.

01 00 PM IST - 13 Mar'26

Section B, Q16: Describe the ways in which Eddy currents are used to advantage.

Eddy currents are circulating currents induced in bulk pieces of metal when magnetic flux changes. They are useful in:

1. Magnetic Braking: In trains, strong electromagnets induce eddy currents in the rails to create a retarding force that stops the train smoothly.

2. Induction Furnace: High-frequency eddy currents generate enough heat to melt metals.

3. Electromagnetic Damping: Used in galvanometers to bring the needle to rest quickly.

4. Electric Power Meters: The shiny metal disc rotates due to eddy currents induced by magnetic fields.

12 50 PM IST - 13 Mar'26

Section B, Q13: Define intensity of electric field at a point. Derive an expression for the intensity due to a point charge.

Definition: The electric field intensity (E) at a point is the force experienced by a unit positive test charge placed at that point. E = F/q_0.

Derivation:

1. Consider a point charge +Q at the origin and a test charge q_0 at a distance r.

2. According to Coulomb’s Law, the force between them is:

   F = 1/(4.pi.e_0) .q_0/r^2

3. By definition, E = F/q_0.

4. Substituting F:

   E =  1/(4.pi.e_0). Q/r^2

   The unit is Newtons per Coulomb (N/C).

12 40 PM IST - 13 Mar'26

Section B, Q12: How do you determine the resolving power of your eye?

The resolving power of the eye is its ability to distinguish two close objects as separate entities.

• Limit of Resolution: For a healthy human eye, the minimum angular separation (Δθ) required to resolve two points is approximately 1′ (one minute of arc) or 1/60 of a degree.

• Formula: Resolving Power= 1/Δθ

• Physical factors: It depends on the diameter of the pupil (D) and the wavelength of light (λ). Using the Rayleigh criterion: Δθ = 1.22λ​/D.

12 35 PM IST - 13 Mar'26

Section B, Q11: Explain the formation of a mirage.

A mirage is an optical illusion caused by the Total Internal Reflection, also known asTIR, of light in the atmosphere.

• Temperature Gradient: On hot days, the air near the ground becomes much hotter (and rarer) than the air higher up (which is cooler and denser).

• Refraction: Light from a tall object (like a tree or the sky) passes from denser to rarer layers, bending away from the normal.

• Total Internal Reflection: At a certain layer near the ground, the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, and the light undergoes TIR, travelling upward toward the observer's eye.

• Perception: The observer’s brain perceives light as travelling in a straight line, making the object appear as if it is being reflected in a pool of water on the ground.
