Question

Write two important limitations of Rutherford nuclear model of the atom.

✓

Answer

According to Rutherford model, electron orbiting around the nucleus, continuously radiates energy due to the acceleration; hence the atom will not remain stable.
As electron spirals inwards; its angular velocity and frequency change continuously; therefore it will emit a continuous spectrum.

Two transparent slabs having equal thickness but different refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ are pasted side by side to form a composite slab. This slab is placed just after the double slit in a Young's experiment so that the light from one slit goes through one material and the light from the other slit goes through the other material. What should be the minimum thickness of the slab so that there is a minimum at the point P₀ which is equidistant from the slits?

Consider the situation of the previous problem. Take "the table plus the ball" as the system. Friction between the table and the ball is then an internal force. As the ball slows down, the momentum of the system decreases. Which external force is responsible for this change in the momentum?

The electric field E due to a point charge at any point near it is defined as $\text{E} = \DeclareMathOperator*{\median}{\text{lim}} \median_{\text{q}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{F}}{\text{q}}$ where q is the test charge and F is the force acting on it. What is the physical significance of $\DeclareMathOperator*{\median}{\text{lim}} \median_{\text{q}\rightarrow0}$ in this expression? Draw the electric field lines of a point charge Q when (a) Q>0 and (b) Q<0.

Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other force the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases. Does it contradict our earher knowledge that magnetic forces cannot do any work and hence cannot increase kinetic energy of a system?

If an electron has a wavelength, does it also have a colour?

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is $\text{B}=\mu_0\text{ni}.$ It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
