Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. The Doppler effect for sound waves depends on three velocities, namely the velocities of sound, the source, and the observer will respect to the air. Normally air is considered to be stationary relative to the ground and therefore these velocities can be measured relative to be ground. However, this is not the situation with regard to light waves. Light as well as other electromagnetic waves require no medium, and they are capable of travelling even through a vacuum. The Doppler effect for light waves depends on two velocities, namely the velocity of light (c) and the relative velocity () between the source and the observer, as measured from the reference frame of either source or the observer. If a certain light source is at rest relative to us, we would detect light from it with the same frequency (0) as that of the source, and it is known as the proper frequency. If it is moving away from us with a speed ( << c), then the light we detect has a frequency that is shifted from 0 due to the Doppler effect and is given by the following

formula.

= 0 (1 ) Where = /c

However , measurements involving light are usually made in wavelengths rather than frequencies, and the above formula can be rewritten in terms of wavelengths in the following from. = /0 c where = 0 The quantity is called the Doppler shift. If the light source is moving away from us, is longer than 0, is positive, and the Doppler shift is called a red shift. If the light source is moving toward us, then is shorter than 0, is negative, and the Doppler shift is called a blue shift. Using astronomical observations of stars, galaxies and other sources of light, scientists can determine how fast the sources are moving , either directly away from us or directly towards us by measuring the Doppler shift to the light that reaches us. Two regions of interstellar gas orbiting the core of a galaxy known as M87 at a radius r = 100 light years is shown in figure (1). One region is moving towards us with a speed and the other region is moving away from us with the same speed. Figure (2) shows the variation of intensity (I) with wavelength () of light reaching us from those two region. The gas is under the influence of the gravitation force due to the mass M of the core of the galaxy. This mass of core is about two billion times the mass of our sun, strongly suggesting that a super massive black hole occupies the core. (a). (1). Doppler effect for sound waves depends on three velocities. Name them. (2). These velocities are normally measured relative to the ground. What is the reason for this ? (b). Why does the Doppler effect for light depends only velocities ?

In order to make it possible to operate all devices simultaneously, under the above conditions, which fuse would be most suitable to be connected to this circuit ? (b) Electrical circuits such as the one above are constructed by mounting electrical components on insulated boards, and joining the terminals of the components by copper wires. In modern circuits, however, such connections are made by thin copper strips printed on insulated boards.

A part of a printed circuit board is shown in figure (2), and an enlarge diagram of one copper strips is shown in figure (3). For all calculations below, take the thickness of copper strip, h, as 0.3 mm. (1). Calculations the resistance of a 10 cm long copper strip of width w = 1 mm. (Resistivity of copper is 1.8 x 10-8 m.)

(2). Hence, show that the circuit shown in figure (1) operates as follows: F0 = 1 only when A = 0 and B = 0, and F0 = 0 otherwise. (c). Suppose now you use a 3-input AND gate in the circuit shown in figure (1) above instead of a 2-input AND gate. Let the third input be E. then the block diagram will take the from shown in figure (3). (1). Draw the circuit diagram corresponding to the block diagram in figure. (2). By filling the two truth tables shown, show that the circuit will operate similar to the circuit given in figure (1) when E = 1, and the output F0 = 0 when E = 0 irrespective of the values of A and B. (d). Now draw a circuit diagram using a 3-input AND gate one NOT gate to operate as follows. The output F1 = 1 only when A = 0, B = 1 and E = 1 F1 = 0 when E=0 (e). Similarly draw two separate circuits using 3-inut AND gates and NOT gates, to operate as follows. (1). Output F2 = 1 only when A = 1 and B = 0 and E =1 F1 = 0 when E = 0 (2). Output F3 = 0 only when A = 1 and B = 0 and E = 1 F3 = 0 when E = 0 (f). Now combine all four circuits draw under (c) (2), (d), (e) (1) and (e) (2) and draw a

single circuit so that it will have only 3 common inputs A, B and E, and four outputs F0, F1, F2 and F3.

that any one of them can be selected and operated, one at a time. Write down the combination of appropriate logic signals that you would apply to the inputs A and B to select each device. (2). How would you keep all non operative condition using logic signals ? 10. Answer either part (A) or part (B) only. (A). (a). Consider a pond of cross section 2 m x 2 m, and containing pure water constantly being exposed to direct sunlight. (see figure 1) The amount of solar heat radiation falling on the pond is 100 W m-2 and assume that its is constant for the calculations below. Furthermore assume that solar heat is incident normal to the water surface at all times, no heat transfer occurs between water and the walls of the pond and that no heat is absorbed by water directly from sunlight. All the heat is absorbed by a blackened metal sheet placed at the bottom of the pond and then transferred to water near the bottom by conduction. If the amount of heat absorbed by the metal sheet over a 7 minute period entirely contributed to raise the temperature of a thin layer of water of mass 40 kg just above the metal sheet, how much will be the temperature rise in water? (Take specific heat capacity of water as 4 200 J kg-1 K-1 )

(3) explain why convection currents will occur when water is heated as mentioned in (a) (1) above. (b). A solar is a pond used to collect store solar energy as heat. Solar heat reaching the bottom of such a pond is trapped by suppressing convection current.

A very simple model of a solar pond with a 2m x 2m area is shown in figure (2). It has three distinct layers. The top layer has relatively pure water. The bottom layer has a very high salt concentration resulting a high density. The density is uniform throughout that layer. In the middle layer, the salt concentration and density decreases gradually with height.

For the following parts, assume that the initial temperature of water throughout the pond is 30 0C.
(1) In a practical solar pond, the temperature of the bottom layer can

reach about 90 0C.If the mass of water in this layer is 6000 kg and if it receives heat radiation at the constant rate of 1000 W m2 , how long will water to take to reach 90 0C? Assume that this heat is entirely used to increase the temperature of water, and that salt water has the same specific heat capacity as pure water.
(2) Taking 0 = 1554 kg m-3 for salt water, calculate the density of salt

water at 90 0C.(Volume expansively of salt water is 4 x 10-4 K-1)

(3) If the top layer remains at 30 0C , can there be convection

current from the bottom to the top layer under the above condition ? Justify your answer. (Take density of pure water at 30 0C as 1000 kg m-3)

(2). Suggest a method to use this energy for a practical purpose. (5) In a practical solar pond, heat loss through the walls must be minimized. If a Styrofoam layer of thickness 10cm is used as an insulation between water and walls of the pond, and if the temperature of the walls stays at 40 0C while water is at 90 0C ,

(The numerical values of the constants are given at the end of the question.) [Take aaa = 3] If a is the mean distance between helium atoms, by taking the total volume of helium gas to be Na3, where N is the number of helium atoms present in the vessel, determine a. Consider helium to be an ideal gas. [Take aaa = 4]. Can the helium atoms be treated as particles under these conditions ? Given reason for your answer. If the volume of the gas could be decreased without changing its pressure by cooling it down , at a certain temperature T the mean de Broglie wavelength of helium atoms can be made equal to be made equal to the mean distance between helium atoms.
