1. A photosensitive surface emits photoelectrons when red light falls on it. Will the surface emit photoelectrons when blue light is incident on it ? Give reason.

2. Draw logic symbol of an OR gate and write its truth table.

3.Write the expression for speed of electromagnetic waves in a medium of electrical permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ.

4. Does the magnifying power of a microscope depend on the colour of the light used ? Justify your answer.

5. Two metallic wires P and Q of the same material and same length but different cross-sectional areas A1 and A2 are joined together and then connected to a source of emf. Find the ratio of the drift velocities of free electrons in the wires P and Q, if the wires are connected (i) in series, and (ii) in parallel.

6. Distinguish between broadcast mode and point-to-point mode of communication and give one example for each.

7. Use the mirror equation to show that an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror forms an image beyond 2f.

OR

(a) State the condition under which a large magnification can be achieved in an astronomical telescope.

(b) Give two reasons to explain why a reflecting telescope is preferred over a refracting telescope.

8. Find the intensity at a point on a screen in Young’s double slit experiment where the interfering waves of equal intensity have a path difference of (i) λ/4, and (ii) λ/3.

9. Write two points of difference between n-type and p-type semiconductors. 

10. Define electric flux. Write its SI unit.

Using Gauss’s law, deduce an expression for electric field intensity due to an infinitely long straight uniformly charged wire.

11. A proton and an α-particle move perpendicular to a magnetic field. Find the ratio of radii of the circular paths described by them when both (i) have equal momenta, and (ii) were accelerated through the same potential difference.
