Paragraph :
When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
Question :
If \(r=5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}, \rho=10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\), \(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}, T=0.11 \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\), the radius of the drop when it detaches from the dropper is approximately
- A \(1.4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\)
- B \(3.3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\)
- C \(2.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\)
- D \(4.1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(1.4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \frac{2 \pi r^2 T}{R}=m g=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \cdot \rho \cdot g \)
\( \therefore R^4 =\frac{3 r^2 T}{2 \rho g}=\frac{3 \times\left(5 \times 10^{-4}\right)^2(0.11)}{2 \times 10^3 \times 10} \)
\( =4.125 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}^4\)
\( \therefore R=1.425 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \approx 1.4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \)
\( \therefore \text { The correct option is (a). }\)
\( \therefore R^4 =\frac{3 r^2 T}{2 \rho g}=\frac{3 \times\left(5 \times 10^{-4}\right)^2(0.11)}{2 \times 10^3 \times 10} \)

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 \(e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\) ]
