JEE Advanced 2022 Easy - Paragraph :
In the figure a container is shown to have a movable (without friction) piston on top. The container and the piston are all made of perfectly insulating material allowing no heat transfer between outside and inside the container. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow transfer of heat. The lower compartment of the container is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal monatomic gas at \(700 K\) and the upper compartment is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal diatomic gas at \(400 K\). The heat capacities per mole of an ideal monatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{3}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{5}{2} R\), and those for an ideal diatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{5}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{7}{2} R\).

- Most materials have the refractive index, \(n>1\). So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material, then by Snell's
law, \(\frac{\sin \theta_{1}}{\sin \theta_{2}}=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\), it is understood that the refracted ray bends towards the normal. But it never emerges on the same side of the normal as the incident ray. According to electromagnetism, the refractive index of the medium is given by the relation, \(\mathrm{n}=c / v=\pm \sqrt{\varepsilon_{r} \mu_{r}}\), where \(c\) is the speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, \(v\) its speed in the medium, \(\varepsilon_{r}\) and \(\mu_{r}\) are the relative permittivity and permeability of the medium respectively. In normal materials, both \(\varepsilon_{r}\) and \(\mu_{r}\), are positive, implying positive \(n\) for the medium. When both \(\varepsilon_{r}\) and \(\mu_{r}\) are negative, one must choose the negative root of \(n\). Such negative refractive index materials can now be artificially prepared and are called metamaterials. They exhibit significantly different optical behavior, without violating any physical laws. Since \(n\) is negative, it results in a change in the direction of propagation of the refracted light. However, similar to normal materials, the frequency of light remains unchanged upon refraction even in meta-materials.
Question : Choose the correct statement.JEE Advanced 2012 Easy - Paragraph:
In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current \(I\) flows along the positive \(x\)-direction, as shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are \(l, w\) and \(d\), respectively.
A uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) is applied on the strip along the positive \(y\)-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the \(z\)-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface \(P Q R S\) and appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to \(P Q R S\). A potential difference along the \(z\)-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.

Question:
