One kg of water, at 20^oC, heated in an electric kettle whose heating element has a mean (temperature averaged) resistance of 20 $$\Omega $$. The rms voltage in the mains is 200 V. Ignoring heat loss from the kettle, time taken for water to evaporate fully, is close to : [Specific heat of water = 4200 J/(kg ^oC), Latent heat of water = 2260 kJ/kg]

A plane electromagnetic wave having a frequency v = 23.9 GHz propagates along the positive z-direction in free space. The peak value of the Electric Field is 60 V/m. Which among the following is the acceptable magnetic field component in the electromagnetic wave ?

The electron in a hydrogen atom first jumps from the third excited state to the second excited state and subsequently to the first excited state. The ratio of the respective wavelengths, $${{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}}$$, of the photons emitted in this process is :

A smooth wire of length 2$$\pi $$r is bent into a circle and kept in a vertical plane. A bead can slide smoothly on the wire. When the circle is rotating with angular speed $$\omega $$ about the vertical diameter AB, as shown in figure, the bead is at rest with respect to the circular ring at position P as shown. Then the value of $$\omega $$² is equal to -
