A point source of light is placed at the centre of curvature
of a hemispherical surface. The radius of curvature is r
and the inner surface is completely reflecting. Find the
force on the hemisphere due to the light falling on it if
the source emits a power W.
Consider an electron trapped in an infinite well whose width is 98.5 pm. If it is in a state with n = 15, what are (i) its energy? (ii) the uncertainty in its momentum? (iii) the uncertainty in its position?
Let width=bFor nth state nλ2=b ⇒λ=2bnNow E =p22m = (hλ)22mSolve after putting the value of λ Uncertainty in position=bNow use ∆p.∆x = nh/2π for finding uncertainty in momentum
a toy car of mass 500g travels with a uniform velocity of 25m/s for 5 seconds, the brakes are then applied and the car is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in further 10s calculate the retardation
use v = u + at
u = 25, v = 0 and t = 10
