JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion
Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed \(\omega\) about its centre \(\mathrm{O}\). The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles \(P\) and \(Q\) are simultaneously projected at an angle towards \(R\). The velocity of projection is in the \(y\) - \(z\) plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back on the disc before the disc has completed \(1 / 8\) rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc radius, and (iii) \(\omega\) remains constant throughout. Then

- A \(P\) lands in the shaded region and \(Q\) in the unshaded region.
- B \(P\) lands in the unshaded region and \(Q\) in the shaded region.
- C Both \(P\) and \(Q\) land in the unshaded region.
- D Both \(P\) and \(Q\) land in the shaded region.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Both \(P\) and \(Q\) land in the unshaded region.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For \(\frac{1}{8}\) of rotation of disc,
\(t=\frac{1}{8} \times \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\frac{\pi}{4 \omega} \)
\(x \text {-coordinate of } P =\omega R T \)
\(=\frac{\pi R}{4}>R \sin 45^{\circ}\)
To reach the unshaded part, particle\(P\) needs to travel horizontal range \(>\) \(R \sin 45^{\circ} \simeq 0.7 \mathrm{R}\)
But its range is less than \(\mathrm{R} / 2\) so it will land on shaded part. \(Q\) is near the origin, its velocity will be nearly along QR so it will land in unshaded part.

JEE Advanced 2024 Medium - Column I shows four situations of standard Young's double slit arrangement with the screen placed far away from the slits \(S_1\) and \(S_2\). In each of these cases \(S_1 P_0=S_2 P_0\), \(S_1 P_1-S_2 P_1=\frac{\lambda}{4}\) and \(S_1 P_2-S_2 P_2=\frac{\lambda}{3}\), where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the light used. In the cases \(\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{D}\), a transparent sheet of refractive index \(\mu\) and thickness \(t\) is pasted on slit \(S_2\). The thickness of the sheets are different in different cases. The phase difference between the light waves reaching a point \(P\) on the screen from the two slits is denoted by \(\delta(P)\) and the intensity by \(I(P)\). Match each situation given in Column-I with the statement(s) in Column-II valid for that situation.
