Hi friends...
If you are interested in Astronomy and Astrophysics and you are planning to do PhD in similar in IUCAA or NCRA, you should read this...
INAT exam was conducted on 8 Dec. 2016 for 2017 admissions.
The syllabus for exam is very deep and it include basic and advanced physics, electronics and mathematics.
There is no any topic wise syllabus available. When I asked some professors what to study here is what I was told....
I have to study B.Sc. and M.Sc. books for all three subjects. These institutes needs engineers but the engineering candidate can not study 5 years 3 subject course in 4-5 months. So of course I applied for exam but didn't study. But here are some questions from exam I remember ----
1) How much radiation energy a average human body will emit if the surrounding temperature is 20 deg. Celsius.
2) If we can burn a paper by concentrating sunlight using 1.5 cm radius lens, what radius of lens will require to burn a paper in moonlight.Given the intensity of sunlight is 40000 times the intensity of moonlight.
3) If

3) If
u = e-xcos y , what should be the value of v for function f(z)=u+iv to be analytic.
4) If an insulated wire is arranged like number eight (8) and the radius of each circular part is R, what will be the magnetic field near the point of contact if current I flows through it?
5) if two plates with electric charge densities +σ and - σ are kept as shown in fig, choose the right option for its electric field.. (I hope the direction of electric field is right)
6) If the current flows from point a to b, what will be the resistance?
Also there were questions which I don't recall exactly related to following topics --
- Fourier transform
- wave function of electron
- electron energy, eigen value and eigen state
- relation between electric field of electromagnetic wave and its magnetic field
- excited and populated state of an oscillator
- relation between mass of electron and momentum of electron
- integration (0 to 2pi) [dx/(a-bsinx)2]
If you remember any other questions from this or previous INAT question papers, please post in comments..
