a neat sketch. Explain why it is done.


Explain why the measured resistivities in

parallel and perpendicular directions of geological

strata are different. A heterogeneous rock sample

has 1.24 as coefficient of electrical anisotropy. If

the resistivity measured in perpendicular direction of

this strata is 500 Ohm, then what will be the

resistivity parallel to strata

ship's heading and velocity in evaluating this

correction. Also calculate the Eotvos correction,

when a ship at a latitude of is heading west

with a speed of 10 knots.


Explain the basic principle used in time-average

equation to determine sonic porosity. What

correction is required to the sonic porosity in a

gas bearing zone





A dip angle electromagnetic survey is carried out

along a profile 1 km long. Two thin vertical

conductors of 10 ohm resistivity each are located

at the same depth of 50 m.Also the two conductors

are located at 400 m and 600 m along the profile.

frequency of measurement is 1000 Hz,..Then draw

the dip angle profile and give the logical

explanation for drawing such anomaly,

placed on the Earth surface at 100 m interval over

a horizontal two layered earth with velocity

of the first layer is 500 m. If the first geophone

is placed near the shot point, then find the


nearest geophone from shot point where

refracted wave reaches before the reflected wave.


nearest geophone from shot point where

refracted wave reaches before the direct wave.

refracted wave reaches before the direct wave.




Explain the theory of origin of Self-Potential in

which subsurface anomalous structure acts like a

dry cell. Draw the self-potential anomaly due to

this theory and explain the limitations of this

theory.




4. Distinguish between production and injection wells.

Also explain identification of zones of injection

and production with the help of a flow meter tool.

survey and a magnetic gradient survey. What are

the advantages of magnetic gradient survey

sheet like body along with its field setup. Mention

the parameters measured and precautions needed

during the survey. Also draw the response curves.

is scattered by diatomic molecules. Obtain an


expression for the Raman shifted frequency in

terms of moment of inertia of each molecule.

intensity distribution in the vibrational electronic

spectra of a diatomic molecule on the basis of this

principle.


Use the energy-time uncertainty principle to

estimate the rest mass of a a-meson, whose

exchange leads to nucleon-nucleon interaction, in

terms of range R of the nuclear force. If R 2F.

estimate in units of mc. (Take

in a two-level laser system.


7. Solve the equation of motion to find out the

nature of trajectory for a charged particle moving in the

plane Z O and placed in a uniform magnetic field

BZ. Also, calculate the rate of change for the

work done by the field.
