    The document describes the experimental sections of the 2016 National Graduate Physics Examination. It includes 3 experiments: 1) Studying damped oscillations of a spring mass system using different balls and estimating properties like the spring constant, density of balls, and damping constant. 2) Using a compact disc to observe diffraction patterns of light from a laser and lamp to estimate wavelengths of different colors. 3) Taking random voltage readings from a circuit with a transformer and capacitor to visualize the probability distribution by creating a histogram of the readings.

    NATIONAL GRADUATE PHYSICS EXAMINATION 2016

    NGPE PART C EXAMINATION [EXPERIMENTAL SKILL]


    Held at
    Department of Physics
    INDIAN INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND
    TECHNOLOGY, SHIBPUR (HOWRAH)
    JUNE 9-10, 2016
    1. Studies on damped oscillation: Time: 1 hr 50 min; Marks: 80
    You have been provided with a spring and three spherical bobs. Mass of
    the brass bob and diameter of the larger plastic bob are supplied. A
    camera interfaced with a PC and stand clamp etc.are provided. Video
    recording software AMCAP and tracking software TRACKER are
    installed in the PC.
    A) Video record and track the vertical oscillations of the spring mass
    system using the given three bobs. (20+20)
    B) Estimate the spring constant. (6)
    C) Estimate the average density of the material of the plastic bobs. (10)
    D) Estimate the damping constant by drawing a suitable graph for the
    system with the smaller plastic bob. (12)
    E) The damping of the system comes into play due to viscosity of air and

    other resistive losses. If the effective coefficient of viscosity is denoted


    by and the viscous drag is given by = 6 then give an
    estimate of . Here v is the instantaneous velocity and a is the radius
    of the bob. (12)

    2. Diffraction through Compact Disc: Time: 50 min; Marks: 35


    You have been given a transmission grating made by cutting a CD and
    lifting off the metallic coating. You have also been provided with a key
    ring laser of 630nm emission wavelength and a CFL lamp. A drawing
    board, drawing sheet, board pin, pencil, scale, plastic clips, metal clip
    etc. and a graph sheet are supplied. The graph sheet can be wrapped on
    the scale and be used as a screen to observe the diffraction pattern
    formed by the laser incident on the grating. You may use the metallic
    clip to keep the laser switched on. The clips, box etc. can be used to
    arrange the setup.
    A) Determine the grating element of the given CD. (11)
    B) Suitably place the CFL and the grating on the drawing board such
    that you can see the virtual diffraction pattern of the Lamp by looking
    very closely through the CD. Mark the extreme red, green and
    extreme violet lines using the board pin/pencil in the both sides of the
    central line. Measure the angle of diffraction and hence wavelength
    for each colour. (3X8)

    3. Visualization of probability distribution: Time: 50 min; Marks: 35


    You have been given the following circuit containing a step down
    transformer (220V, to 4.5 Vrms, 50 Hz) and a capacitor connected to
    either the transformer or a DC voltmeter through a two way switch (S).
    You need to press the switch to take the voltmeter reading. Since the
    reading keeps on decaying with time, take only the reading with
    maximum magnitude. After each observation switch it back to the
    original position.You are also provided with a sheet with bins of 1 V
    between -6V and +6V.
    A) Take at least 200 random readings of the voltmeter and fill up the
    sheet by putting a tick () mark on the appropriate box. Any reading
    beyond 5should be counted in the extreme bins. (16)
    B) Draw a histogram of the randomly taken voltage values ranging
    between -6V to +6 V. (5)
    C) Explain the nature of the histogram you obtain. (14)
