A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are \(20 \mathrm{~mm}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\), respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere.
Question :
If the density of air is \(\rho_{a}\) and that of the liquid \(\rho_{\ell}\), then for a given piston speed the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional toJEE Advanced 2014 Easy - Paragraph :
A dense collection of equal number of electrons and positive ions is called neutral plasma. Certain solids containing fixed positive ions surrounded by free electrons can be treated as neutral plasma. Let \(N\) be the number density of free electrons, each of mass \(m\). When the electrons are subjected to an electric field, they are displaced relatively away from the heavy positive ions.If the electric field becomes zero, the electrons being to oscillate about the positive ions with a natural angular frequency \(\omega_p\), which is called the plasma frequency. To sustain the oscillations, a time varying electric field needs to be applied that has an angular frequency \(\omega\), where a part of the energy is absorbed and a part of it is reflected. As \(\omega\) approaches \(\omega_p\), all the free electrons are set to resonance together and all the energy is reflected. This is the explanation of high reflectivity of metals.
Question :
Estimate the wavelength at which plasma reflection will occur for a metal having the density of electrons \(N \approx 4 \times 10^{27} \mathrm{~m}^{-1}\). Take \(\varepsilon_0=10^{-11}\) and \(m=10^{-30}\), where these quantities are in proper SI units.JEE Advanced 2011 Easy

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
For every function \(f(x)\) which is twice differentiable, these will be good approximation of \(\int_a^b f(x) d x \cong\left(\frac{b-a}{2}\right)\{f(a)+f(b)\}\). Now, if we take \(c=\frac{a+b}{2}\), then using above again, we get \(\int_a^b f(x) d x=\int_a^c f(x) d x+\int_c^b f(x) d x \cong \frac{b-a}{4}\{f(a)+f(b)+2 f(c)\}\) and so on.
