A full wave rectifier circuit with diodes $\left(D_1\right)$ and $\left(D_2\right)$ is shown in the figure. If input supply voltage $V_{\text {in }}=220 \sin (100 \pi t)$ volt, then at $t=15 \mathrm{msec}$ 
The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons from a surface with work function φ = 2 eV when light of λ = 4000 Å falls on it is (hc = 12400 eV·Å):
A photon and an electron (mass $m$ ) have the same energy $E$. The ratio ( $\lambda_{\text {photon }} / \lambda_{\text {electron }}$ ) of their de Broglie wavelengths is: (c is the speed of light)
A particle of mass $m$ is moving around the origin with a constant force $F$ pulling it towards the origin. If Bohr model is used to describe its motion, the radius $r$ of the $n^{\text {th }}$ orbit and the particle's speed $v$ in the orbit depend on $n$ as
The output $(\mathrm{Y})$ of the given logic implementation is similar to the output of an/a _____ gate.
