signals from different transmitters.

11. Define critical angle. Explain total internal reflection using a neat diagram.
A: When a ray of light enters from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it bends away from the normal,
for example AO1B in the figure. The incident ray AO1 is partly reflected (O1C) and partly
transmitted or refracted (O1B). As the angle of incidence (i) increases, the angle of refraction (r) also
increases. The angle of incidence corresponding to an angle of refraction 90° is called critical angle
(ic). If the angle of incidence is increased still further (i > ic), then refraction is not possible, and the

Sr. INTER PHYSICS

incident ray is totally reflected. This is called ‘total internal reflection’.

12. Explain Doppler effect in light. Distinguish between red shift and blue shift.
A:
up
The change in frequency (and wavelength) of light caused by the relative motion of the source and

the observer is called ‘Doppler effect’ in light. The Doppler shift can be expressed as

ν
.e
Here,  is the fractional change in frequency, ‘c’ is the velocity of light and Vradial is the component

w w
of the source velocity along the line joining the observer to the source relative to the observer.
When the source moves away from the observer, the frequency as measured by the observer will
be smaller and the wavelength in the middle of the visible region of the spectrum moves towards the

w
red end. This is called ‘red shift’.
When the source moves towards the observer, the apparent frequency increases and wavelength
decreases. As a result a wavelength in the middle of the spectrum moves towards blue end of the
spectrum and this is called ‘blue shift’.
13. Derive an expression for the intensity of the electric field at a point on the axial line of an electric
dipole.
A: An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite point charges ‘q’ and ‘−q’, separated by a distance
2a. Let the point ‘p’ be at a distance ‘r’ from the centre of the dipole on the side of the charge q, as
shown in the figure then,

21. Explain the principle and working of a nuclear reactor with the help of a labelled diagram.

A nuclear reactor is a device used to initiate and control a self sustained nuclear chain reaction. The
principle involved in nuclear reactor is ‘controlled chain reaction’.

r
p
The main parts of a reactor are as follows

du
Reactor core: This is the site of nuclear fission. It contains the fuel elements in suitably fabricated
form. The fuel may be enriched uranium. The core contains a moderator to slowdown the neutrons.

na
Reflector: The reactor core is surrounded by a reflector to reduce the leakage.

.ee
Control rods: Control rods absorb the neutrons to control the chain reaction. Generally Cadmium
and Boron rods used as control rods.

w
Coolant: The heat energy released in the fission is continuously removed by a suitable coolant. The
coolant transfers heat to a working fluid which in turn produce steam. Generally liquid sodium is

w
used as a coolant.

w
Shield: To protect the surroundings from harmful radiations thick walls of concrete and lead are
constructed around the nuclear reactor.
Working: Fuel rods are placed in aluminium cylinders which are separated by distance. Moderator
rods are placed in between the fuel rods. Due to fission huge amount of heat is produced. This heat
is removed by a coolant and it is given to fluid which produces steam. This steam drives the turbines
and generates electricity.
