C
3.49 x 10\(^{-20}\)J
D
3.49 x 10\(^{-19}\)J
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Energy of the emitted photon(E) = \(\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}\)
\(\lambda\) = 5.68 x 10\(^{-6}\)m
h = 6.63 x 10\(^{-34}\)Js
c = 3.0 x 10\(^8\)ms\(^{-1}\)
E =\(\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34}) \times (3.0 x 10^8)}{5.68\times 10^{-6}}\) = \(\frac{1.989\times 10^{-25}}{5.68\times 10^{-6}}\)
E = 3.50 x 10\(^{-20}\)J
Therefore, the energy change = 3.50 x 10\(^{-20}\)J

The process of adding impurities to a semiconductor material to increase its conductivity is
A
Rectification
B
Emission
C
Doping
D
Stabilization
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Doping involves introducing specific impurities into a semiconductor to modify its electrical properties, enhancing its conductivity by creating either n-type or p-type semiconductors.
Rectification is the process of converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) using diodes, which allow current to flow in one direction.
Emission refers to the release of charge carriers (electrons or holes) from a semiconductor, often resulting in the production of light in devices like LEDs
Stabilization involves techniques to maintain the consistent performance of semiconductor devices under varying conditions.

Solution
Which of the following materials has a very large energy gap band?
A
Conductor
B
Insulator
C
Semiconductor
D
Intrinsic semiconductor
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Conductor: Has a very small or negligible band gap, allowing electrons to move freely.
Insulator: Has a large energy gap (typically greater than 3 eV), which prevents electrons from jumping from the valence band to the conduction band, resulting in very low electrical conductivity.
Semiconductor: A moderate energy gap (about 1 eV) allows some conductivity under certain conditions (like temperature or doping).
Intrinsic Semiconductor: A type of semiconductor with a pure form, that also has a moderate energy gap similar to other semiconductors.

Reflection of Light
Solution
A light ray passing from air into water at an angle of 30º from the normal in air would
A
make an angle greater than 30\(^0\) in water surface
B
be completely absorbed by the water surface
C
be completely reflected by the water surface
D
make an angle less than 30\(^0\) from the normal in water
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Observations show that when the light travels from a medium A(air) to a more dense medium B(water), the refracted ray bends towards the normal and the angle of refraction (r) is, therefore, less than the angle of incidence. vice versa.

Which of the following is the best as shaving mirror?
A
Concave mirror
B
Convex mirror
C
plane mirror
D
parabolic mirror
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Concave Mirror: A concave mirror can focus light rays, allowing for a magnified image of the face. This magnification helps in seeing details more clearly, which is particularly useful for shaving.
Convex Mirror: A convex mirror creates a smaller, wider image, which is not suitable for precise tasks like shaving.
Plane Mirror: A plane mirror shows a true reflection but does not magnify, making it less effective for grooming.
Parabolic Mirror: Parabolic mirrors are used for specific applications, like telescopes, but not for shaving.
