propagation. The junction is at x = 0 and joints two strings with the linear mass density 1 and 2. The
reflected and transmitted waves have speeds v1 and v2, respectively.

Ans (A), (C) and (D)
When 1 < 2 which implies v1 > v2, the wave is travelling form a rarer medium to a denser medium.
There is a phase change of  at x = 0. Therefore (C) is correct.
When 2 < 1 which implies v2 > v1, the wave is travelling from a rarer medium to a denser medium.
There is no phase change due to reflection. Therefore (D) is correct.
The transmitted wave never suffers a phase change. Hence, (A) is correct.

8. An ideal gas expands in such a way that PV2 = a constant.

(A) The T-V graph for the process is a parabola.
(B) The T-V graph for the process is a straight line.
(C) Such an expansion is possible only when the temperature of the gas rises.
(D) Such an expansion is possible only when the temperature of the gas decreases.
Ans (A) and (D)
PV2 = c [c = a constant]
c
And PV = nRT or  V = nRT;  TV = a constant
V2
 T-V graph will be a parabola
When V increases, T must decrease. The gas cools during the expansion.
9. According to kinetic theory of gases,
(A) The velocity of a molecule changes after every collision
(B) The potential energy of inter-molecular interaction is zero.
(C) The K.E. of the gas molecules decreases on expansion at constant temperature.
(D) The K.E. of the gas molecules decreases on expansion at constant pressure.
Ans (A), (B) and (C)
Velocity is a vector. Even if the direction of motion changes, we say that the velocity has changed.
The K.E of gas molecules depend on temperature only. If T is not changed, the KE does not change.
When the volume is increased at constant pressure, the temperature increases and hence the K.E also
increases.

10. Equal amount of a gas is enclosed in a three containers A, B and C which have the same volume but
different shapes. A is cubical, B is spherical and C is cylindrical. The temperature of the gas is same
(equal to 2) in the three vessels. By some means, the temperature of walls of three containers are
suddenly made TA, TB and TC (TA > TB > TC), respectively. immediately after this change in the
temperature of the walls
(A) the pressure experienced by the walls in the three containers will have the relation P A > PB > PC if
TC > T
(B) the pressure experienced by the walls in the three containers will have the relation P A > PB > PC if
TA < T
(C) the pressure experienced by the walls in the three containers will have the relation PA = PB = PC
(D) the pressure experienced by the walls in the three containers cannot be equal due to their different
shapes
Ans (A) and (B)
When gas molecules hit a container wall at higher temperature, they rebound with higher speeds. Change
in momentum per collision is higher on an average. Therefore, the pressure on the container wall will
increase.
If the container wall is at temperature lower than that of the gas, the molecules will rebound with lower
speeds. Change in momentum, per collision, is lower. The pressure on the wall decreases.
Shape of the container has nothing to do with the pressure.

It must pass through the centre of the circle.
