Mastering Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter & Atoms and Nuclei (For Class XII)

Units such as Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter & Atoms and Nuclei are given low weightage but they are highly scoring if one remembers the formulae, definitions and graphs. Unit 7: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter (4 marks) Concepts Photoelectric effect De Broglie equation Davisson Germer Experiment Question base Numericals, Graphs Numericals The experiment, Graphs

Q: An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 64 volts. What is the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it? To which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this value of wavelength correspond? (CBSE 2010, 2 marks) This question can be easily solved if you know the application of the formula:

Unit 8: Atoms and Nuclei (6 marks) For mastering this unit you need to master the formulae. Make a list of all the important formulae in this unit with at least one application in numerical solving. Questions from this units are basically definitions, graphs and formula based numericals. Q: The energy levels of an atom are as shown below. Which of them will result in the transition of a photon of wavelength 275 nm?Which transition corresponds to emission of radiation of maximum wavelength? (CBSE 2009, 3 marks)

The formula E = hc/ is sufficient to give you three marks in this question. So, for this unit make sure you go through Rutherfords model, Bohrs model, Hydrogen spectra, Radioactive decays, Nuclear reactions (fission and fusion).

Follow these simple things and we are sure that youll manage to add the entire 24 marks from these units into your account. To revise the formulae based on these units, click on the link: Formula Sheet ( Unit 6, 7, 8 )

Important Topics and Formulae in Ray Optics and Wave Optics (For Class XII)
Dear students, Having just a couple of days left for examination, we believe that your preparation must be at its peak. Give a quick but attentive glance to the important topics and formulae from the section Optics. Ray Optics: Spherical lens numerical, Microscope, Telescope, Ray Diagrams, Snells Law, Image Formation by Spherical Mirrors, Reflecting Telescope Wave Optics: Diffraction, Huygens Principle, Polarization: Brewsters Law, Lens Formula, Youngs Double Silt Experiment For quick reference, here is a list of the formulae that are involved in various calculations in these two chapters:

Ray Optics and Wave Optics together can bring you 14 marks. So, get yourself thorough with the concepts and practice numerical problems including the ray diagrams.
