OR
For writing Einstein's photoelectric equation
For writing, En = -(13.6/n2)
For finding the value of n
hv = φ0 + eVs
= 2 + 0.55 = 2.55 eV
Given, En = 13.6/n2
The every difference, ΔE = E2 - E1
E2 = -(1.36 /((2)2)) = -3.4 eV,
E1 = – 2.55 eV
ΔE = – 3.4 – (– 2.55) eV = – 0.85 eV
∴ (-136)/n2 = - 0.85
∴ n = 4

Fusion is the fusing of two or more lighter atoms into a larger one.
(ii) Fission reaction does not normally occur in nature.
Fusion occurs in stars, such as the Sun.
(iii) For fission, little energy is required.
For fusion, extremely high energy is required.
(iv) For fission, Uranium is the primary fuel used in power plants.
Deuterium and Tritium are the primary fuel used in experimental fusion power plants.

Qvalue = (55.93494 – 2 × 27.98191) × 931.5 = – 26.9 MeV
Since, Q is negative. Hence fission is not possible. 


Q.7. Define the term wavefront. Using Huygen’s wave theory, verify the law of reflection.

Wavefront:

Wavefront is an imaginary surface over which an optical wave has a constant phase.
Consider a plane wave AB is incident at an angle ‘i’ on  a reflecting surface MN.
Let t = time taken by the wave front to advance from B to C with velocity 'v'.
∴ BC = vt
Let CE represent the tangent plane drawn from the point C to the sphere of radius ‘vt’ having A as its center.Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-MedicalIn ΔAEC  and ΔABC,
AE = BC = vt
∠AEC = ∠ABC = 90°
AC = AC (common)
ΔEAC ≌ ΔBAC
Hence ∠i = ∠r
∴ Angle of incidence = angle of reflection.

(b) Power of objective = Po = 100 D Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical

∴ f0 = (1/100)m = 1 cm
Power of eyepiece = PE = 40 D
∴ fE = (1/40)m  = 2.5 cm
Length of tube = L = 20 cm
D = Least distance of distinct vision (D) = 25 cm
Angular magnification = Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical

(c) Explain the nature of the curves on the basis of Einstein's equation.

(a) Intensity of radiation is proportional to (equal to) the number of energy quanta (photons) per unit area per unit time.
Detailed Answer: 

Intensity: The total energy falling on (or going through) a surface/region per unit area, per unit time and is measured in J/m2 or w/ms.
For monochromatic radiation, total energy emitted is equal to the number of photons, n, times the energy of one photon, hn

∴ I = hnv/At.
where,   A = Area.
t = time.
(b)
Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical(c) As per Einstein’s equation
The stopping potential is same for I1 and I2 as they have same frequency.
The saturation currents are as shown, because I> I2 > I3


Q.10. A ray of light incident on the face AB of an isosceles triangular prism makes an angle of incidence 
(i) and deviates by angle β as shown in the figure. Show that in the position of minimum deviation ∠β = ∠β. Also find out the condition when the refracted ray QR suffers total internal reflection.

Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical

Proving α = β

Finding ic
For minimum deviation, r1 + r2 = A; r1 = r2
(90°  β) + (90°  β) = A
180° − 2β = A
2β = 180°  A
2β = 2α
β = α
r1 + r2 = A
r1 + ic = A
ic = A − r1
ic = A − (90° − β)
Detailed Answer:
Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-MedicalAt the condition of minimum deviation, the refracted ray from surface AB becomes parallel to the base of the prism, thus ΔABC and ΔAQR are similar triangles and hence ∠β = ∠α.

Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical

For total internal reflection, the incident ray will have to travel along the normal to the surface AB. So, the ray QR will totally reflected from surface BC.

Q.12. Case Study : Mirage In Deserts
Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical

To a distant observer, the light appears to be coming from somewhere below the ground. The observer naturally assumes that light is being reflected from the ground, say, by a pool of water near the tall object.
Such inverted images of distant tall objects cause an optical illusion to the observer. This phenomenon is called mirage. This type of mirage is especially common in hot deserts.
Based on the above facts, answer the following questions: 
(a) Which of the following phenomena is prominently involved in the formation of mirage in deserts?
(i)    Refraction and Total Internal Reflection 
(ii) Dispersion and Refraction 
(iii) Dispersion and scattering of light 
(iv) Total internal Reflection and diffraction
(b) A diver at a depth 12 m inside water Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical sees the sky in a cone of semi-vertical angle
(i) sin-1(4/3)
(ii) tan-1(4/3)
(iii) sin-1(3/4)
(iv) 90°
(c) In an optical fibre, if n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the core and cladding, then which among the following, would be a correct equation?
(i) n1 < n2
(ii) n= n2
(iii) n1 << n2
(iv) n1 > n2
(d) A diamond is immersed in such a liquid which has its refractive index with respect to air as greater than the refractive index of water with respect to air. Then the critical angle of diamond liquid interface as compared to critical angle of diamond -water interface will
(i) depend on the nature of the liquid only 
(ii) decrease 
(iii) remain the same 
(iv) increase
(e) The following figure shows a cross-section of a ‘light pipe’ made of a glass fiber of refractive index 1.68. The outer covering of the pipe is made of a material of refractive index 1.44. What is the range of the angles of the incident rays with the axis of the pipe for the following phenomena to occur.
Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical

(i) 0 < i < 90° 
(ii) 0 < i < 60° 
(iii) 0 < i < 45° 
(iv) 0 < i < 30°

(a) Option (i) in correct.

Explanation: Mirage in desert is observed due to phenomenon of refraction and Total Internal Reflection.

(b) Option (iii) is correct.
Explanation: aμw = 1/sin C
Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical
(c) Option (iv) is correct.
Explanation: The refractive index of the core should be greater than the refractive index of the cladding.
(d) Option (iv) is correct.
Explanation: Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical
μL > μW
Thus C > C'
(e) Option (ii) is correct.
Explanation: 1μ2 = 1/sin C'
Sin C' = 1.44/1.68 = 0.8571
⇒ c' = 59°
Total internal reflection will occur if the angle i' > ic' ,
i.e., if i' > 59° or when r < rmax'
where rmax = 90° – 59° = 31°.
Using Snell’s law, Class 12 Physics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22)- 1 | Sample Papers for Class 12 Medical and Non-Medical 
or sin imax = 1.68 × sin rmax
= 1.68 × sin 31°
= 1.68 × 0.5150 = 0.8662
∴ imax = 60°
Thus, all incident rays which make angles in the range 0° < i < 60° with the axis of the pipe will suffer total internal reflection in the pipe.
