13. Which property of wave shows that sound wave is longitudinal? Calculate the value of Young’s modulus of steel if its density is 7.8 gm/cm3 and if sound travels in it with a velocity of 5200 m/S.
14. An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit around the earth with a speed equal to the half of the magnitude of the escape velocity from the earth. Determine the height of the satellite above the Earth surface.
15. What do you mean by centripetal accn? Obtain the expression for centripetal accn of a point particle moving uniformly in a circular path.
16. A metal shows photoelectric effect in green light. Will it show photoelectric effect in violet light? Give reason to your answer.

22. When a linear object is placed in front of a convex mirror, image of the 4th size of the object is formed. Calculate the object distance and the image distance. This linear object is kept perpendicular to the axis.
23. Explain Analog and Digital Communication.
24. A 900 pF capacitor is charged with the help of 100 V batteries. Calculate the steady electric energy on this capacitor. The above capacitor is disconnected from the battery and is connected to another identical capacitor. What will be the total energy of the system?
25. In Young’s experiment, a beam of light of wave-length 6500 A and 5200 A is used. Find the maximum distance from the central bright fringe, where bright fringes produced by both the wave-length get super-posed. The distance between the two slits is 0.5 mm and the distance between the slits and screen is 100 cm.
