PART A

Q No. 1 . A golf ball travels with a speed of .69.0 m/s. By what fraction does its
relativistic momentum magnitude p differ from its classical value mu? That is, find the
ratio (p- mu)/mu. Ch 3925

Q No 2. In a typical color television picture tube, the electrons are accelerated through a
potential difference of 56700 V. (a) What speed do the electrons have when they strike
the screen? (b) What is their kinetic energy in joules?ch 39 38

Q No 3 Calculate the energy and momentum of a photon of wavelength 553nm. Ch40 21

PART B

Q No 4 The human eye is most sensitive to light at 560 nm. What is the temperature of a
black body that would radiate most intensely at this wavelength? Ch 40 1

Q No 5 Lithium, Beryllium, and mercury have work function of 7.7eV, 12.3eV and
34.5eV, respectively. Light with a wavelength of 400 nm is incident on each of these
metals. Determine which of these metals exhibits photoelectric effect. Explain your
reason. Ch 40 17
Q No 6 An FM radio transmitter has power output of 170 kW and operates at a frequency
of 78.7 MHz. How many photons per second does this transmitter emit? Ch 40 11

Part A
3. The total volume of water in the oceans is approximately 1.40 * 109 km3. The density
of sea water is 1030 kg/m3, and the specific heat of the water is 4 186 J/(kg 0 °C). Find
the increase in mass of the oceans
produced by an increase in temperature of 10.0°C.
