Question 156
Appeared in Year: 2016
Describe in Detail
Essay▾Find the centre of mass of a homogeneous semicircular plate of radius.
Explanation
- Here too the centre of mass obviously lies on the line of symmetry (Fig (1) ) passing through the mid – point of the base and perpendicular to it. Since it is a homogeneous plate, the centre of the mass will be at a distance from , given by relation , where is the mass of an element of it of radius and , the mas of the whole plate.

Essay▾Determine the discrete energy levels and the corresponding Eigen functions for a particle in an infinitely deep potential well inside a cube of dimension , i. e. assume for elsewhere
Explanation
Image of Infinite Squarce Well Potential
A particle in this potential is completely free, except at the two ends and , where an infinite force presents it from escaping.

Question 158
Explanation
Experimentally, there is no evidence for the existence of any excited states of the deuteron. Indeed, extending the calculations of the bound states to the cases where the orbital angular momentum quantum number is greater than zero leads to the result that the deuteron can’t exist in these states. It will be assumed that the potential is central

Essay▾Write down the salient features of the Einstein’s theory of lattice heat capacity. Further write down the expression for specific heat in Einstein’s theory and explain it’s high and low temperature limits.
Explanation
- The salient features of the Einstein’s theory are listed below:
- A crystal consists of atoms which may be regarded as identical and independent harmonic oscillators.
- A solid consisting of atoms is equivalent to one dimensional harmonic oscillators.
- All the oscillators vibrate with the same natural frequency due to the identical environment of each.

Question 160
Appeared in Year: 2016
Describe in Detail
Essay▾Explain in detail L–S coupling and j–j coupling schemes.
Explanation
L–S coupling:
- The L–S coupling is also known as “Russell - Saunders” coupling. In atoms which obey this coupling we introduce the various perturbations in the order: (a) spin – spin correlation (b) residual electrostatic interaction (c) spin – orbit interaction
(a) As a result of spin – spin correlation effect, the individual spin angular momentum ve
