holeelectron pairs recombine at forward biased p-n junction, energy is released in the form of light The principle on which LED works is spontaneous emission of radiation, when an electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level in a semiconductor atom At forward biased p-n junction, free electrons of n-type combine with holes of p-type semiconductor As free electrons lie in conduction band and holes lie in valence band, so electron falls from the higher to lower energy level containing holes and the energy is released in the form of radiation The energy of radiation emitted by LED is equal to or less than the forbidden energy band gap Eg of the semiconductor used, and is given hc by hu = = Eg λ The frequency of emitted radiation in LED, thus depends upon the band gap energy Eg of the semiconductor used The intensity of emitted radiation in LED depends upon the forward current flowing through the LED More the forward current flowing through the LED, more the hole-electron pairs combine at forward biased p-n junction, releasing more number of photons and hence larger will be the intensity of emitted radiation 24 Refer point 9.3(4,5) page no 588 (MTG Excel

ASK WE ANSWER Do you have a question that you just can’t get answered? Use the vast expertise of our mtg team to get to the bottom of the question From the serious to the silly, the controversial to the trivial, the team will tackle the questions, easy and tough The best questions and their solutions will be printed in this column each month Q1 When you load up a plastic shopping bag with groceries and then carry the bag by the loops at the top of the bag, why will the loops initially withstand the load but then, several minutes later, begin to stretch, perhaps to the point of tearing? – Akash Jain (UP) Ans If you suspended a load from the lower end of a spring hanging from a ceiling, the spring will stretch by a certain amount and then stay stretched Plastic, which consists of polymers, is different If you suspend a load from the lower end of a plastic strip, the strip will initially stretch like the spring but thereafter it will gradually stretch more in what is called viscoelastic creep The mechanism of this creep can vary from polymer to polymer The polymer consists of many long and entangled molecules When the polymer is put under load, these molecules gradually disentangle somewhat because very are pulled in the direction of the load The gradual reorientation of the molecules allows the plastic to gradually stretch Q2 What causes the tides? Why most shore locations have two high tides per day but others have only one? – Sahil Verma (Delhi) Ans The primary cause of tides is the Moon’s gravitational pull on Earth’s oceans even though that force is not strong enough to lift the water Because the force varies over Earth’s surface (strongest on the side facing the Moon, weakest on the opposite side), the force reshapes the water distribution by stretching it parallel to the line connecting Earth and the Moon The stretching 82 Physics for you | November ‘15 produces two bulges in the water distribution, one on the side facing the Moon and one on the opposite side If Earth did not rotate, then a shore location in the bulge facing the Moon would have high water (high tide) all day and a shore location in the opposite bulge would as well However, Earth’s rotation means that a shore location rotates through both bulges in about a day and will thus have two high-water intervals The bulges are not exactly positional on a line through Earth and the Moon because the water motion encounters friction within the water and against shorelines The friction delays the water’s response to the stretching by the Moon So, the high-water point in a port city may occur an hour or more after the Moon is highest in the sky Another complicating factor is that the gravitational force from the Sun also tends to stretch the water distribution However, the solar effect is, roughly less than half the lunar effect Although the Sun is much larger than the Moon, it is also much farther from Earth During New Moon and Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are aligned and their tidal effects sum to give larger tides called spring tides When the directions to the Sun and Moon are separated by 90°, the sum gives neap tides Because of these various complications some shore locations can have only one noticeable tide per day Q3 When an airplane flies somewhat overhead and close enough to be heard, lower your head by stooping to the ground Why does the frequency of the airplane noise increases as you lower your head ? – Shreyas (Haryana) Ans The sound you hear consists of the sound coming directly to you from the airplane and the sound that reflects to you from the ground The two sets of sound waves undergo interference at your ears and you hear primarily the waves that constructively interfere, they reinforce one another rather than cancel one another The height above the ground at which constructive interference occurs depends on the wavelength, greater wavelength requires greater height As you lower your head, you move down to the heights at which shorter wavelengths or higher frequencies, undergoes constructive interference So, as you stoop, the sound you hear increases in frequency to d jo in tl y s a w a rd e of

humans living on Mars in the next few decades Moving to have Earth independent colonies on the Red Planet will be the end point of years of research, the agency has said, but it plans for that to be complete by the 2030s NASA laid out the plans in a large document: “NASA’s Journey to Mars -Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration” The document lays out the three stages of NASA’s plan to get to Mars The first is Earth Reliant; the second is Proving Ground, where the operations will be tested out in deep space, but in an environment that allows humans to get back to Earth in days NASA hopes that those two first stages allow it to get to the Earth independent stage It sees the Earth independent colonies as being a global achievement that marks a transition in humanity’s expansion as we go to Mars not just to visit, but to stay While there, humans will live and work within habitats that support human life for years, with only routine maintenance They’ll harvest resources to create fuel, water, oxygen and building materials and use advanced communication systems to send information back with only a 20-minute delay NASA has expressed such interest before, most recently proposing to send a small greenhouse to the planet in order to experiment with cultivating plant life, something that would be essential to establishing a permanent colony in the future Although Mars does not currently seem to be a great habitat for existing life It is still possible, things may be living beneath the surface something that can only be explored effectively by humans, not robots Physics for
