भारतीय संस्कृति में गाय को माता कहा गया है। इस संबंध में अपने विचार व्यक्त कीजिए।

Answer»

जिस प्रकार जन्म देने वाली माँ हमें अपना दूध पिलाकर ही कुछ सालों तक पालती-पोषती है, उसी प्रकार हम जीवनपर्यंत गाय के दूध का या दूध से बने अन्य उत्पादों का प्रयोग करते हैं। इसी संदर्भ में भारतीय संस्कृति में गाय को माता का दर्जा दिया गया। मेरे विचार से ये उचित ही है क्योंकि दूध पिलाकर पालन-पोषण तो माँ ही करती है। इस कारण गाय हमारी सही मायने में माता है जिसका दूध शुदध, मीठा, स्वास्थ्यवर्धक, पौष्टिक और अनेक रोगों को मिटाने वाला होता है।

5.

मालवीय जी ने सभी के लिए शिक्षा की बात कही थी। आज सरकार ने शिक्षा के अधिकार के तहत इसे पूरे देश में लागू कर दिया। कल्पना कीजिए कि जब यह व्यवस्था नहीं रही होगी तो शिक्षा प्राप्त करने में कौन-कौन सी कठिनाइयाँ होती होंगी ? लिखिए।

Answer»

जिस समय देश में सबके लिए शिक्षा की व्यवस्था नहीं थी, उस समय देश के अधिकांश लोग खासकर गरीब तबके के लोग शिक्षा से वंचित रह जाते थे। महिलाओं को शिक्षा नहीं मिल पाती थी, वे भी अनपढ़ रह जाती थीं। गरीब समाज के लोगों को शिक्षा पाने के लिए अत्यंत संघर्ष करना पड़ता था, विद्यालय बहुत दूर-दूर होते जहाँ रोज समय पर पहुँचना ही एक चुनौती थी। साथ ही उस समय यातायात के साधन भी इतने विकसित नहीं थे फलतः लोगों को शिक्षा लेने में अनेक कठिनाइयाँ झेलनी पड़ती थीं।

17.

Differentiate between scalar quantities and vector quantities.

Answer»

Scalar Quantities:

The physical quantities, which have magnitude but no direction are called scalars, accompanied by a unit.
Mass, length, distance covered, time, density, work, temperature, charge, specific heat, energy, power, speed, length, etc. are few examples of scalars,

A scalar quantity can be completely described by a number; representing its magnitude. A scalar may be positive or negative. They can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided according to the simple rules of Algebra.

Vector Quantities: The Physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction are called vectors.
Displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, electric field, impulse, gravitational field etc. are few examples of vector quantities.

It may be pointed out that the vectors can not be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided as one may do in case of scalars. It is because, in addition to magnitude, vectors have direction also. Vectors are added, subtracted and multiplied according to the rules of Vector Algebra. The division of a vector by another vector is not a valid operation in Vector Algebra.

Why microwave is put on very High distance?

Answer»

Microwaves are widely used for point-to-point communications because their small wavelength allows conveniently-sized antennas to direct them in narrow beams, which can be pointed directly at the receiving antenna. This allows nearby microwave equipment to use the same frequencies without interfering with each other, as lower frequency radio waves do. Another advantage is that the high frequency of microwaves gives the microwave band a very large information-carrying capacity. A disadvantage is that microwaves are limited to line of sight propagation; they cannot pass around hills or mountains as lower frequency radio waves can.

Write a short note on router and also give its characteristics.

Answer»

The router is connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the networks it is connected to. A router is located at any gateway, including each pointof-presence on the Internet. A router is often included as a part of a network switch.

A router may create or maintain a table of the available routes and their conditions and use this information along with distance and cost algorithms to determine the best route for a given packet. Typically, a packet may travel through a number of network points with routers before arriving at its destination. Routing is a function associated with the Network layer (layer 3) in the standard model of network programming, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. A layer-3 switch is a switch that can perform routing functions.

The frequency of revolution of the charged particles in a cyclotron does not depend upon their speed. Why?

Answer»

The time t spent by a charged particle, of mass m and carrying a charge q, inside a dee of a cyclotron is independent of the radius of the path and the speed of the particle so long as m is constant. Then, the periodic time of the charged particle in its nearly circular path is T = 2t, and the frequency of revolution, 

f = \(\cfrac 1T\) = \(\cfrac 1{2t}\) = \(\cfrac{qB}{2\pi m}\)

are also independent of the radius and the speed.

43.

What are the factors on which the cyclotron frequency depends?

Answer»

The cyclotron frequency depends upon 

1. the magnetic induction and 

2. the specific charge (the ratio charge/mass) of the charged particles.

44.

State any two limitations of a cyclotron.

Answer»

Limitations of a cyclotron :

1. It cannot be used to accelerate electrons. Because electrons have a very small mass, they quickly achieve relativistic speeds, i.e., speeds at which their mass increases significantly with increase in speed. Then they cannot remain synchronous with the alternating electric field between the dees.

2. For higher energies, with a given magnetic field strength, the exit radius and thus the dees must be large. It is difficult to produce a uniform magnetic field over a large area. 

3. Even protons, deuterons, a-particles, etc., cannot be accelerated to very high energy, say of the order of 500 MeV, using a cyclotron with a fixed cyclotron frequency. 

4. No particle accelerator can accelerate uncharged particles, such as neutrons.

45.

Does the time spent by a charged particle inside a dee of a cyclotron depend upon its speed and the radius of its path ? Why ?

Answer»

The time spent by a charged particle to describe a semicircular path of radius r inside a dee of a cyclotron is independent of the radius of the path and the speed v so long as the mass m of the particle is constant. This is true for any charged particle of mass m and carrying a charge q, and is the critical characteristic of operation of the cyclotron.

r = \(\cfrac{mv}{qB}\)

So that the time spent in a dee,

t = \(\cfrac{\pi r}v\) = \(\cfrac{\pi }v\) x \(\cfrac{mv}{qB}\) = \(\cfrac{\pi m}{qB}\)

which is independent of r and v.

Answer»

D) All the above

49.

State the functions of the electric and magnetic fields in a cyclotron.

Answer»

The function of the electric field in the gap between the dees of a cyclotron is to accelerate the positively charged particles while that of the magnetic field in the dees is to deflect the particles in semicircular paths so that they return to the gap in a fixed time interval to reuse the alternating electric field.

50.

Name a non-SI unit of magnetic induction. State its relation to the SI unit of magnetic induction.

Answer»

A CGS unit of magnetic induction of historical interest is the gauss, symbol G. However, since the magnetic flux and the magnetic flux density (magnetic induction, B) are defined by similar equations in the CGS system and the SI, this non-SI unit is accepted for use with SI.

1 G = 10-4 T

[Note : The unit gauss is named after Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777 -1855), German mathematician, who strongly promoted in 1832 the use of the French decimal or metric system, with the metre and the kilogram and the astronomical second, as a coherent system of units for physical sciences. Gauss was the first to make absolute measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field in terms of a decimal system based on the three mechanical units millimetre, gram and second for, respectively, the quantities length, mass and time.]
