Q.2. What do you mean by logic gate in electroni:
‘Ans. The circuit which is used to perform the switching action is called a logic gate
Q.3. What are n-p-n and p-n-p transistors?
Ans. Anm-p-n transistor consists of thin p-type layer sandwitched between two thick n-type layers
A p-n-p transistor consists of a thin n-type layer sandwitched between two thick n-type layers
Q.4, Ina transistor, base is made thin and is doped very lightly. Why?
Ans. Base is made very thin and is doped lightly so that most of the carriers are attracted straight
into the collector and very few combine in the base. This eventually leads to reduce the

pRECAUTIONS
‘The pins should be fixed vertically on the drawing board.
2. The glass slab should be clean and of uniform thickness
Use sharp pencils for making lines
‘The glass slab should be kept lengthwise at the centre of the drawing sheet
Measurement of angles should done accurately
For better accuracy, distance between the Pins should be 5 cm or more while locating the angle
of incidence and angle of emergence.
It must be ensured that the Pins 1 and 2 are in straight line. Similarly, the pins 3 and 4 are in
straight line.
8. While viewing the pins, one eye should always be kept closed.
SOURCES OF ERROR
1. Measurement of angles may not be accurate.
Glass slab may not have uniform thickness.
3. The pin pricks may not be sharp.
4. The pins may not have been inserted on the line.
@® ACTIVITYS a
AIM: To observe polarisation of light using two polaroids.
APPARATUS
Thin glass sheet, a source giving monochromatic light beam with parallel rays, a polaroid.
THEORY
When an unpolarised light is made incident on the interface of two transparent media
at polarising angle, the refracted and reflected rays depart from each other at an angle of 90°.
‘The reflected ray is completely plane polarised. It can be tested by a polaroidMm ACTIVITY 6
AIM: To observe diffraction of light due to a thin slit.
APPARATUS
Two razor blades, adhesive tapes, a screen a source of monochromatic light (laser pencil) black
paper and a glass plate
THEORY
Diffraction is a phenomenon of bending of light around the corners or edges of a fine
opening or aperture. Diffraction takes place when order of wavelength is comparable or small to
the size of slit or aperture. The diffraction effect is more pronounced if the size of the aperture or the
obstacle is of the order of wavelength of the waves. The diffraction pattern arises due to interference of
light waves from different symmetrical point of the same wavefront. The diffraction pattern due to a
single slit consists of a central bright band having alternate dark and weak bright bands of decreasing
intensity on both sides.
For diffraction, dsin 6 =nh
Here d= size of aperture or slit

PROCEDURE
1. Fix the black paper on the glass plate by using adhesive
2. Place two razor blades so that their sharp edges are parallel and extremely close to each othe,
to form a narrow slit in between.
A thin slit made by using two razor blades, black paper and a glass plate.
3. Cut the small slit in between the sharp edges of blades and place at a suitable distance froma
wall or screen of a dark room
4. Throw a beam of light on the slit by the laser pencil.
5. A diffraction pattern of alternate bright and dark bands is seen on the wall.

CONCLUSION
When light waves are incident on a slit or aperture then it bends away (spread) at the corners
of slit showing the phenomena of diffraction of light.
PRECAUTION
1) Air gaps should not be left between glass plates and black paper.
1). The razor blades should be placed extremely closed as possible,
(i) Diffraction pattern should be seen on a wall of a dark room

See images of these pins through face DC and fix two more pins at points 3 and 4 (1 cmor more
all being along.a straight line
apart) such that these two pins cover the images of first two pi
Remove the glass slab. Draw straight line RS through points 3 and 4 to represent emergent ray,
Join QR to represent refracted ray.
Draw normal at point R on face DC and measure angle ¢. It comes to be equal to angle i
Produce PQ forward to cut DC at T. Draw TU perpendicular to RS. TU measures lateral

Make small circles around each pin-pricks on the drawing sheet.
Start with a value of 30° for i and repeat the process for 35°, 40°, 45° and 50° for Zi
The process can be repeated for glass slabs of different thickness

Gm ACTIVITY 7A

AIM indie anda screen (for different distances ofthe candle from the lens).
AppARATUS
Convex lens, optical bench with three uprights, candle, matchbox, metre scale, cardboard screen,
spirit level.
THEORY
‘The nature and size of the image formed by a convex lens depends on the position of object.
From the lens formula, ; 2 . :
Foru=%,u=f
Poru = - 2f, v= 2f
Foru=-f,v=%
For w < (~f), » becomes negative (image becomes virtual).
Hence, as the object (burning candle) is moved from infinity towards the convex lens, its image
(position of screen) moves away from the focus of the lens towards infinity.
For candle distance less than the focal length, image becomes, virtual and does not come on
the screen.
