• 1.

  For a Zener diode as shown in the circuit diagram below, the Zener voltage \(V_Z\) is 3.7 V. For a load resistance (\(R_L\)) of 1 k\(\Omega\), a current \(I_1\) flows through the load. If \(R_L\) is decreased to 500 \(\Omega\), the current changes to \(I_2\). The ratio \(\frac{I_2}{I_1}\) is \rule{1cm{0.15mm}. (up to two decimal places)}

  Consider a chamber at room temperature (27 \(^\circ\)C) filled with a gas having a molecular diameter of 0.35 nm. The pressure (in Pascal) to which the chamber needs to be evacuated so that the molecules have a mean free path of 1 km is \rule{1cm{0.15mm} \(\times 10^{-5}\) Pa. (up to two decimal places)

  At a particular temperature T, Planck's energy density of black body radiation in terms of frequency is \(\rho_T(\nu) = 8 \times 10^{-18} \text{ J/m}^3 \text{ Hz}^{-1}\) at \(\nu = 3 \times 10^{14}\) Hz. Then Planck's energy density \(\rho_T(\lambda)\) at the corresponding wavelength (\(\lambda\)) has the value \rule{1cm}{0.15mm} \(\times 10^2 \text{ J/m}^4\). (in integer) 
  [Speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s] 
  (Note: The unit for \(\rho_T(\nu)\) in the original problem was given as J/m³, which is dimensionally incorrect for a spectral density. The correct unit J/(m³·Hz) or J·s/m³ is used here for the solution.)
