 Preface

Whenever a student decides to prepare for any examination, her/his first and foremost curiosity
about the type of questions that he/she has to face. This becomes more important in the context of
competitive examinations where there is neck-to-neck race.

We feel great pleasure to present before you this book. We have made an attempt to provide
chapter wise questions asked in IIT-JEE / JEE Advanced from 1978 to 2016 along with solutions.
Solutions to the questions are not just sketch rather have been written in such a manner that the
students will be able to under the application of concept and can answer some other related
questions too.

We firmly believe that the book in this form will definitely help a genuine, hardworking student.

We have tried our best to keep errors out of this book. Comment and criticism from readers will be
highly appreciated and incorporated in the subsequent edition.

We wish to utilize the opportunity to place on record our special thanks to all team members of
Content Development for their efforts to make this wonderful book.

Passage # 1 (1 & 2)
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 , where a part of the energy is
absorbed and a part of it is reflected. As
approaches p, all the free electrons are set to
resonance together and all the energy is
reflected. This is the explanation of high
reflectivity of metals. [2011]
1. Taking the electronic charge as e and the
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.
