    Study Notes

    Basic Science (Physics) SEM-I

    • Q.1 Syringes: Syringes operate based on Boyle's law. Pulling the plunger increases the volume inside the syringe, reducing pressure, and drawing fluid in.
    • Q.2 Temperature Gradient: The temperature gradient formula is: ΔT = gradient × distance
    • Q.3 Forward Biased Diode: The current flowing through a forward-biased p-n junction diode increases once the applied voltage surpasses the knee voltage.
    • Q.4 Intrinsic Semiconductor: Intrinsic semiconductors, like silicon or germanium, have four valence electrons per atom.
    • Q.5 Reverse Biased Diode: A reverse-biased p-n junction diode acts as an open switch, preventing current flow.

    Applied Science (Physics) SEM-II

    • Q.1 X-ray Tube Voltage: The operating voltage of an X-ray tube is calculated using the formula E = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength.
    • Q.2 Threshold Wavelength: The minimum energy for the photoelectric effect is calculated using the formula E=hc/λ.
    • Q.3 Wavelength and Velocity: If the wavelength of a wave triples when transitioning to another medium, the wave velocity also triples.
    • Q.4 Ratio of Elongation: The ratio of elongations of two wires of equal material, but different length and radii, is determined by the relationship, ∆L1/∆L2=L1r2^2/L2r1^2.
    • Q.5 Wave Velocity and Wavelength: A medium's wave velocity and wavelength are related—the higher the velocity, the greater the wavelength at a constant frequency.

    Additional Problems (Pages 6-10)

    • Q.6 to Q.14, Q.20: These questions cover a wide range of physics concepts, including SHM, recoil velocity, work, kinetic energy, and power. Specific answers aren't feasible without additional context.

    Additional Problems (Page 11)

    • Q.16-Q.20: These questions assess the understanding of energy, stress, and work, encompassing calculations involving electrical power and work done by pumps. Specific answers are contingent on contextual parameters in each problem.
