Paragraph
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
Question:
It is found that the excitation frequency from ground to the first excited state of rotation for the \(\mathrm{CO}\) molecule is close to \(\frac{4}{\pi} \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~Hz}\). Then the moment of inertia of CO molecule about its centre of mass is close to (Take \(h=2 \pi \times 10^{-34} J-s\) )
- A \(2.76 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
- B \(1.87 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
- C \(4.67 \times 10^{-47} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
- D \(1.17 \times 10^{-47} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1.87 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(
\begin{gathered}
h v=K_2-K_1=\frac{3 h^2}{8 \pi^2 I} \\
\therefore I=\frac{3 h}{8 \pi^2 f}=\frac{3 \times 2 \pi \times 10^{-34} \times \pi}{8 \times \pi^2 \times 4 \times 10^{11}}
\end{gathered}
\)
\(
=1.87 \times 10^{-46} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2
\)
\(\therefore\) The correct answer is (b).
\begin{gathered}
h v=K_2-K_1=\frac{3 h^2}{8 \pi^2 I} \\

JEE Advanced 2017 Easy - Paragraph:
A thermal power plant produces electric power of \(600 \mathrm{~kW}\) at \(4000 \mathrm{~V}\), which is to be transported to a place \(20 \mathrm{~km}\) away from the power plant for consumers' usage. It can be transported either directly with a cable of large current carrying capacity or by using a combination of step-up and step-down transformers at the two ends. The drawback of the direct transmission is the large energy dissipation. In the method using transformers, the dissipation is much smaller. In this method, a step-up transformer is used at the plant side so that the current is reduced to a smaller value. At the consumers' end, a step-down transformer is used to supply power to the consumers at the specified lower voltage. It is reasonable to assume that the power cable is purely resistive and the transformers are ideal with a power factor unity. All the currents and voltages mentioned are rms values.
Question:
If the direct transmission method with a cable of resistance \(0.4 \Omega \mathrm{km}^{-1}\) is used, the power dissipation (in %) during transmission isJEE Advanced 2013 Medium - Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity.
