4
solution in
the presence of H

. The titration gives unsatisfactory result when carried out in the presence of
HCl, because HCl
(1) gets oxidised by oxalic acid to chlorine

Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated
this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by
requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see in

31. A wooden wheel of radius R is made of two semicircular parts (see figure); The two
parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross sectional area S
and length L. L is slightly less than 2R. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so
that its temperature rises by T and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to
surrounding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the
coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is , and its Youngs' modulus is Y, the
force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is :

37. A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic lines of
force. When a current is passed through the coil it starts oscillating; it is very difficult to stop. But if an
aluminium plate is placed near to the coil, it stops. This is due to :
(1) development of air current when the plate is placed.
(2) induction of electrical charge on the plate
(3) shielding of magnetic lines of force as aluminium is a paramagnetic material.
(4) electromagnetic induction in the aluminium plate giving rise to electromagnetic damping.

causes antitorque on the coil, due to which is stops.
