Write about power of accommodation of human eye. Explain why the image distance in the eye does not change when we change the distance of an object from the eye ?

Answer»

The ability of the eye lens to adjust its focal length is called the power of accommodation. 

The focal length of the eye lens is adjusted so that the image distance does not change. Thus the image distance is equal to the distance from the center of the eye lens to the retina.

Explain why ?Myopic person prefer to remove his spectacles while reading a book.

Answer»

Myopic Person does not need spectacles while reading a book as he has the near point at 25 cm. If such person reads the book with corrective lens (concave) he will have to keep the book at a distance greater than 25 cm so that the image of the book will be formed by the concave lens at 25 cm and moreover the size of the book that appears to him is also smaller. Therefore, the person prefers to remove his spectacles while reading a book.

18664.

What type of spectacles should be worn by a person having the defect of myopia as well as hypermetropia ?

Answer» Spectacle having bifocal lens.
18665.

Explain why? (a) A myopic person prefer to remove his spectacles while reading a book. (b) A hypermetropic person prefer to remove his spectacles while looking at the sky

Answer»

(a) A myopic person does not need spectacles while reading a book as he has the near point at 25 cm. If such person reads the book with corrective lens (concave) he will have to keep the book at a distance greater than 25 cm so that the image of book will be formed by the concave lens at 25 cm and moreover, the size of the book appears to him is also smaller then actual size. Therefore, the person prefer to remove his spectacles while reading a book. 

(b) A hypermetropic person does not need spectacles to see distant objects as he has the far point at infinity. If such person uses spectacles (convex lens) to see the distant objects, the image will be formed before the retina due to increase in converging power and hence the person cannot see distant objects distinctly. Therefore, such person prefers to remove his spectacles while looking at the sky.

18666.

Which of the pair of elements would you expect to have lower first ionization enthalpy? Explain your answer.Cl or F

Answer»

Cl: This is because the ionization enthalpy decreases from F to Cl as we move down the group of halogens in the periodic table. The decrease in ionization enthalpy is due to increase in atomic size of the atoms. The atom with a bigger size requires comparatively less energy to remove the electron. Hence, the first ionization enthalpy of chlorine is lower as compared to that of fluorine.

18667.

Which of the pair of elements would you expect to have lower first ionization enthalpy? Explain your answer.K or Ar

Answer»

K: Potassium has a lower value of first ionization enthalpy than argon. This is because Argon, an inert gas, has fully filled valence orbital from which electrons cannot be removed easily.

18668.

Which of the pair of elements would you expect to have lower first ionization enthalpy? Explain your answer.Cl or S

Answer»

S: Sulphur has a lower value of first ionization enthalpy as compared to chlorine. This is because on moving along a period from left to right the atomic size decreases and hence ionization enthalpy increases. Sulphur has a bigger size and hence lower value of its first ionization energy.

18669.

Where is the near point of a person suffering from hypermetropia (or long-sightedness) ?

Answer» The near point of a person suffering from hypermetropia is farther away from the normal near point (25 cm).
18671.

Why does a person suffering from hypermetropia prefer to remove his spectacles while looking at distant objects? Explain.

Answer»

A hypermetropic eye can have a normal far point. If he uses spectacles of the converging lens, he will have more converging power than needed for parallel rays so the distant object may get focused in front of the retina and so distant objects will appear blurred.

18672.

Which of the following pairs of elements would you expect to have lower first ionization energy? Explain.(i) Cl or F(ii) Cl or S(iii) K or Ar(iv) Kr or Xe

Answer»

The ionization energy.

(a) Decreases in going from top to bottom in a group.

(b) Increases in going from left to right in a period.

Thus

(i) Cl is below F in the group (or Cl is bigger than F), hence Cl has lower ionization energy than F.

(ii) Cl is in the group 17th, while S belongs to 16th group (of the same period, Period 3). Thus, S should have lower ionization due to lower nuclear charge.

(iii) K appears immediately after Ar in the periodic table. K belongs to group 1 of the periodic table; hence K should have lower ionization energy.

(iv) Xe occurs below Kr in group 18 of the periodic table, hence Xe should have lower ionization energy due to its larger size.

State the main characteristics of wave normal.

Answer»

Characteristics of wave normal:

i. It gives the direction of propagation of wave.

ii. It is perpendicular to wavefront.

iii. In a homogeneous isotropic medium, wave normal is same as direction of ray of light.

iv. It is drawn from the point of generation of wavefront.

18685.

State the main characteristics of wavefront.

Answer»

Characteristics of wavefront:

i. Wavefronts travel with the speed of light in all directions in an isotropic medium.

ii. The phase difference between any two points in the same phase on the two consecutive wavefronts is 2π. So, if the phase at a crest is 2π, then phase at next consecutive crest = 4π and so on. Hence at any crest, the phase is 2nπ and phase at any trough is (2n + 1)π, where n is an integer.

iii. It always travels in the forward direction. During the propagation of spherical wavefront from a source, wave becomes weaker. It is so because same energy is distributed over circumference of larger circles of increasing radii.

iv. In anisotropic medium, it travels with different velocities in different directions due to variation in densities of the medium.

18686.

Consider the arrangements shown in figure in which the North pole of a magnet is moved away from a thick conducting loop containing capacitor. Then excess positive charge will arrive on(A) Plate a (B) Plate b (C) Both plates a and b (D) Neither plate a nor b

Answer»

Correct option  (B) Plate b 

Explanation:

As the magnet is moving away from the conducting loop, the magnetic flux associated with the loop weakens. Thus an e.m.f. will be induced in the loop to strengthen the magnetic flux. Using right hand thumb rule, we can say that excess positive charge will arrive on plate b.

Two coils A and B of insulated wire are kept close to each other. Coil A is connected to a galvanometer while coil B is connected to a battery through a key. What would happen if : (i) a current is passed through coil B by plugging the key ?(ii) the current is stopped by removing the plug from the key ? Explain your answer mentioning the name of the phenomenon involved.

Answer»

(i) Galvanometer pointer moves to one side showing that a momentary current is induced in the coil A. 

(ii) Galvanometer pointer moves to the other side showing that the direction of momentarily induced current has been reversed. The phenomenon taking place here is electromagnetic induction. When the current is passed through coil B or is stopped, the magnetic field linked with coil A changes due to which an induced current is produced in the coil.

Two trains A and B are moving on two parallel tracks with uniform speed of 20ms-1 in the same direction with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by 1 ms-2. After 50 seconds, they are moving together, find the original distance of separation. 

Answer»

Initially, both A and B are moving with the same velocity in the same direction,

∴ The initial relative velocity .

uAB = uA – uB = 0

when t = 50 s,

relative acceleration = aAB = 1 ms-2

If s is the distance moved, then

From s = ut + 1/2at2

S = uAB × t + 1/2 aABt2

S = 0 × t + 1/2 × 1 × 502

= 2500/2 = 1250 m.

Hence, the Initial distance of separation is 1250m.

18697.

Why does a person sitting in one train think that the other train is at rest, when both the trains are moving on parallel tracks, with the same speed and in the same direction.

Answer»

This is because the relative velocity of the train in which the person is sitting with respect to the other train is zero.

For example,

The velocity of 'A' train = 50 km/hr. due East and the velocity of 'B' train = 50 km/hr. due East.

Relative velocity of A train w.r.t., B train = 50 - 50 = 0.

And similarly Relative velocity of B w.r.t., A = 0.

What is the tone of the poem?

Answer»

The tone of the poem is roughly equivalent to the mood it creates in the reader. In Once Upon a Time’ the tone of the poem in the earlier stanzas is abashed, regretful but in the last stanza the poet ends the poem in an optimistic and hopeful tone. Thus the poet begins the poem in a negative tone i.e. somber but ends positively i.e. optimism.
