x) anomalous dispersion
(just dispersion is not enough)
xi) Kramers-Krȍnig relations (the
names must be there)
xii) stellar aberration (just aberration
is also okay)
xiii) light cone (no credit for any other
answer)
xiv) Krȍnecker delta (no credit
for just delta, or delta function, or writing the symbol)
xv) orthochronous (no credit for
proper orthochronous or improper orthochrnous)
xvi) Bianchi identity (no credit for
any other answer or equations)
xvii) Larmor formula (any variation which
has the word Larmor is okay)
xviii) pulsars (this word must be there: neutron
star will get no credit)
xix) Nȍther's theorem (the word Nȍther
must be there)
xx) gauge invariance
Q.2. No credit if a correct staments is replaced by another
correct statement. No credit for just writing incorrect.
i) The electric and magnetic fields are
always perpendicular to each other for harmonic fields.
ii) Microwaves have frequencies
ranging from a few to a few thousand GigsHertz.
(Okay if radio frequencies
are correctly given; no credit if Giga is just replaced by Mega)
iii) Maxwell's stress tensor measures
the electromagnetic force on a boundary containing fields inside.
(Okay so long as it is realised
that sources ned not be inside).
iv) correct
v) div A + (1/c) dø/dt
= 0 (no credit for any other answer, except same equation in SI units)
vi) correct
vii) There is no such thing as multipole
radiation because charge is conserved.
viii) The laws of reflection and refrction
at a dielectric interface follow from the continuity of phase across
teh surface.
(No credit if the word phase
is missing)
ix) The Brewster angle for glass
of R.I. = 1.5 is about 56.3 degrees
(arctan 1.5 is also acceptable)
x) The Lorentz-Lorenz formula
relates the atomic polarisability to the refractive index of the medium.
(Dielectric constant
instead of refractive index is also okay)
xi) In a metal the skin-depth is
given by \delta = c \epsilon / 4\pi \sigma
(Any correct formula containing
\sigma is acceptable)
xii) correct
xiii) The longitudinal mass m_L = m_0 / (1
- \beta^2)^(3/2)
OR
The transverse mass m_T
= m_0 / (1 - \beta^2)^(1/2)
xiv) We can always transform away the
space component of a timelike vector.
OR
We can always transform
away the time component of a spacelike vector.
xv) The 4x4 Lorentz matrix has
6 independent components.
xvi) The retarded time for a moving particle
corresponds to its world line intersecting the backward light cone.
(Absolutepast
light cone is also okay; full credit is given if this fact was realised)
xvii) The Lienard-Weichert potentials lead
to B = \hat{r} x E
OR
The Lienard-Weichert
potentials lead to B = beta x E for slowly-moving charges
xviii) correct
xix) The Euler-Lagrange equations for
a classical field ø are obtained by extremising the action w.r.t.
fixed-end-point
variations.
(Full credit for any
equivalent statement)
xx) The photon mass term m²
AµAµ is forbidden by gauge invariance.
(Full credit for charge
conservation in place of gauge invariance).
