Stimulated by light, the Regd.

This can have ripples. The life time of this droplet is only Managing Editor : Mahabir Singh about 25 picoseconds (trillionth of a second). Editor : Anil Ahlawat (BE, MBA) This strangely behaves like a liquid. It is thought that five electrons Contents are forming the new particle with five holes. The very short life-time of the particle, the changing positions of these particles (or electron-hole Physics Musing (Problem Set-22) 8 combinations) give it an appearance of a liquid drop. JEE Advanced 11 Practice Paper 2015 In order to evaluate and appreciate the new aspects in this experiment, I am quoting what is given in the Penguin Dictionary of Physics. Thought Provoking Problems 21 “Exciton : An electron in combination with a hole in a crystalline solid. JEE Workouts 24 The electron has gained sufficient energy to be in an excited state and Core Concept 26 is bound by electrostatic attraction to the positive hole. The exciton may You Ask We Answer 30 migrate through the solid and eventually the hole and electron recombine Target PMTs 31 with emission of a photon”. Practice Questions 2015 Any new discovery should excite our students. Our advice to our research BITSAT 42 student is this: Appreciate what others have done and learn what other Practice Paper 2015 scientists have performed earlier. Making that as a starting point, one has Brain Map 46 to go further devising your own methods and extensions.

PHYSICS FOR YOU | MAY ‘15 7 PHYSICSPHYSICS MUSINGMUSING hysics Musing was started in August 2013 issue of Physics For You with the suggestion of Shri Mahabir Singh. The aim of Physics PMusing is to augment the chances of bright students preparing for JEE (Main and Advanced) / AIIMS / Other PMTs with additional study material. In every issue of Physics For You, 10 challenging problems are proposed in various topics of JEE (Main and Advanced) / various PMTs. The detailed solutions of these problems will be published in next issue of Physics For You. The readers who have solved five or more problems may send their solutions. The names of those who send atleast five correct solutions will be published in the next issue. We hope that our readers will enrich their problem solving skills through “Physics Musing” and stand in better stead while facing the competitive exams. 22 1. A 50 kg woman is on a large swing of radius 9 m 5. A small ball of mass m moving with a velocity v that rotates in a vertical circle at 6 rev/min.
