Paragraph for Question Nos. 35 and 36
A dense collection of equal number of electrons and positive ions is called neutral
plasma. Certain solids containing fixed positive ions surrounded by free electrons can
be treated as neutral plasma. Let 'N' be the number density of free electrons, each of
mass 'm'. When the electrons are subjected to an electric field, they are displaced
relatively away from the heavy positive ions. If the electric field becomes zero, the
electrons begin to oscillate about the positive ions with a natural angular frequency
p
' ' . , which is called the plasma frequency. To sustain the oscillations, a time
varying electric field needs to be applied that has an angular frequency e, where a
part of the energy is absorbed and a part of it is reflected. As e approaches
P
e , all
the free electrons are set to resonance together and all the energy is reflected. This
is the explanation of high reflectivity of metals.

Paragraph for Questions Nos. 37 and 39
Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems.
They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and
momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-
dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted
along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space
diagram is x(t) vs. p(t) curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time
flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant
velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which
position or momentum upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is
negative.
37. The phase space diagram for a ball thrown vertically up from ground is
Sol. (D)
Momentum is initially positive. Then it decreases and later becomes positive.

origin.

conditions, and E

(B), (C) and (D) out of which ONE OR MORE may be correct.
54. Let
f : R R be a function such that f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y), x, y R. If f(x) e
is differentiable at x = 0, then
(A) f(x) is differentiable only in a finite interval containing zero
(B) f(x) is continuous x R
(C) f'(x) is constant x R
(D) f(x) is differentiable except at finitely many points

Sol. (B.C)
f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y)
Put x = y = 0 in the above equation. Then,
f(0 + 0) = f(0) + f(0)
f(0) = 2f(0)
f(0) = 0
Also, we have:
h 0 h 0 h 0
f(x h) f(x) f(x) f(h) f(x) f(h) f(0)
f '(x) lim lim lim
h h h
f '(x) f '(0) k (say)
Integrating both sides, we get,
f(x)=kx+c
Now, f(0) = 0, so c = 0
f(x)=kx

A be the area of
the triangle formed by drawing tangents at P and at the end points of the latus
rectum. Then is
Sol. (2)
The given parabola is y
2
= 8x
For the parabola y
2
= 4ax, the endpoints of the latus rectum are , , a, 2a .
Thus, the extremities of latus rectum are (2,4) & (2, -4).
