- 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.

The variations of the parameters in the form of graphs are shown in Column II. Match the set of parameters given in Column I with the graphs given in Column II. Indicate your answer by darkening the appropriate bubble of the \(4 \times 4\) matrix given in the ORS.
JEE Advanced 2008 Easy - Six point charges, each of the same magnitude \(q\), are arranged in different manners as shown in Column-II. In each case, a point \(M\) and a line \(P Q\) passing through \(M\) are shown. Let \(E\) be the electric field and \(V\) be the electric potential at \(M\) (potential at infinity is zero) due to the given charge distribution when it is at rest. Now, the whole system is set into rotation with a constant angular velocity about the line \(P Q\). Let \(B\) the magnetic field at \(M\) and \(\mu\) be the magnetic moment of the system in this condition. Assume each rotating charge to be equivalent to a steady current.

The discs have moments of inertia I and 2I, respectively about the common axis. Disc \(A\) is imparted an initial angular velocity \(2 \omega\) using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance \(x_1\).

Question :
The loss of kinetic energy during the above process isJEE Advanced 2007 Easy - Paragraph:
When a particle is restricted to move along \(x\)-axis between \(x=0\) and \(x=a\), where \(a\) is of nanometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends \(x=0\) and \(x=a\). The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the liner momentum \(p\) of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass \(m\) is related to its linear momentum as \(E=\frac{p^2}{2 m}\). Thus, the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number \(n\) taking values \(1,2,3, \ldots(n=1\), called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave.
Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving in the line \(x=0\) to \(x=a\) [Take \(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) and \(e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\) ]
