has a horizontal component of velocity. Let this component be v 0.
Then, it may be assumed that the particle is projected horizontally

will be induced due to variation of magnetic flux due to the
change in rectangular area.

could be easily drawn.
If we just pushed the loop and left it, then due to magnetic force

For B, C, D Kinetic energy of ejected photo electrons can

anything from O to K max . It remains the same to all locations.

20. (a) For A Bichromatic light source is having two wavelengths and
hence from energy point of view, two types of photons are
possible. As light propagates in different directions, the photon
can have different or same momentum depending upon the
magnitude and direction of photon motion.
For B Same reasoning as for A.
For C For a monochromatic light source, all photons have same
energy but momentum can be different due to different direction.
For D Laser is a very narrow beam of monochromatic light so all
photons have nearly same energy and momentum.

Power developed by friction force is, P2 = f 0 = 0
So, velocity of a uniform disc, v(t) = at =

6. (d) The problem is based on concept of relative velocity and

change in momentum.
We use, dp = change in momentum = dn 2 murel ,
where,
urel = u v
During collision momentum exchange will be 2 murel ,
where urel = velocity of incident particle w. r. t.block.
So, at v the velocity of block
= urel = (u v )
so,
dp = 2 m(u v )
If dn particle collides then,
dp = dn 2 m (u v )
dp for block = mdv n = dn 2 m (u v n )
dv n 2 m(u v n )
=

On integrating, we get relative velocity of nth particle,
