1.

An unpolarized beam of intensity I0 is passed through a polariser. The intensity of emergent beam is

Answer»

Correct option is (B) \(\frac{I_0}2\)

When unpolarized beam of intensity is passed through a polariser, the intensity of emerge beam will half.

I = I0Cos2\(\theta\)

Average value of Cos2\(\theta\) = 1/2

So, I = I0 \(\frac12\)

I = \(\frac{I_0}2\)

2.

An object is placed in front of a convex lens made of glass. How does the image distance vary if the refractive index of the medium is increased in such a way that still it remains less than the glass?

Answer»

From lens makers formula,

\(\frac{1}{f}\) \((\frac{μ_g}{μ _m}-1)\) \((\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2})\)

When µm is increased but still less than µg

Means \((\frac{μ_g}{μ _m}-1)\) decreases. 

It means, \(\frac{1}{f}\) also decreases. 

Now, 

From \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}\)

When \(\frac{1}{f}\) decreases,

\(\frac{1}{v}\) also decreases, 

Therefore, 

V increases that is distance of image increases away from lens.

3.

Answer»

The number of photoelectrons ejected per second is what determined by the intensity of light of by the number of photons falling per second.

A cold storage plant is required to store 20 tonnes of fish. The temperature of the fish when supplied = 25°C ; storage temperature of fish required = – 8°C ; specific heat of fish above freezing point = 2.93 kJ/kg-°C ; specific heat of fish below freezing point = 1.25 kJ/kg- °C ; freezing point of fish = – 3°C. Latent heat of fish = 232 kJ/kg. If the cooling is achieved within 8 hours ; find out : (i) Capacity of the refrigerating plant. (ii) Carnot cycle C.O.P. between this temperature range. (iii) If the actual C.O.P. is 1/3rd of the Carnot C.O.P. find out the power required to run the plant

Answer»

Heat removed in 8 hours from each kg of fish 

= 1 × 2.93 × [25 – (– 3)] + 232 + 1 × 1.25 [– 3 – ( – 8)] 

= 82.04 + 232 + 6.25 = 320.29 kJ/kg

Heat removed by the plant /min

\(\cfrac{320.29\times20\times1000}{8}\) = 800725 kJ/h

(i) Capacity of the refrigerating plant 

\(\cfrac{800725}{14000}\) = 57.19 tonnes.

T1 = 25 + 273 = 298 K 

T2 = – 8 + 273 = 265 K

∴ C.O.P. of reversed Carnot cycle

\(\cfrac{T_2}{T_1-T_2}\) = \(\cfrac{265}{298-265}\) = 8.03.

(iii) Power required :

Actual C.O.P. = \(\cfrac13\) x Carnot C.O.P. = \(\cfrac13\) x 8.03 = 2.67

But actual C.O.P. = \(\cfrac{Net \,refrigerating \,effect/min}{Work \,done /min}\) = \(\cfrac{R_n}W\)

2.67 = \(\cfrac{800725}W\) kJ/h

W = \(\cfrac{800725}W\) = 299897 kJ/h = 83.3 kJ/s

∴ Power required to run the plant = 83.3 kW.

5.

An electron and a proton are moving with equal speed. Which one has greater de-Broglie wavelength? Justify your answer.

Answer»

We know that, de-brogli \(\lambda=\frac h{p}\)

\(\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\)

\(\lambda\propto\frac1{m}\)

The mass of electron is less than mass of photon. So De-brogli wavelength of electron will greater than wavelength of photon.

What are the views of Borges on books?

Answer»

According to Borges, a book is only an extension of our imagination and memory. We get access to literâture through books. Literature is a dream, a controlled dream. Borges believes that we owe literature almost everything we are, what we have been and what we will be. Our past is nothing but a sequence of dreams. He believes that there is no difference between dreaming and remembering the past. Books are undoubtedly the most astounding invention of man. It is books that serve as the repositories of great memories of all centuries and nothing else can replace books. Therefore, if books disappear, surely history would disappear and along with history man would also disappear. He says that books always retain something sacred, mortal and magical which brings happiness. Therefore, literature is very important for preserving the future of mankind.

Explain the relationship between attitude and behaviour.

Answer»
  • We usually expect behaviour to follow logically from attitudes. However, an individual’s attitudes may not always be exhibited through behaviour. Likewise, one’s actual behaviour may be contrary to one’s attitude towards a particular topic.

It is found that there would be consistency between attitudes and behaviour when: 

  • the attitude is strong, and occupies a central place in the attitude system, 
  • the person is aware of her/his attitude, 
  • there is little or no external pressure for the person to behave in a particular way. For example, when there is no group pressure to follow a particular norm 
  • the person’s behaviour is not being watched or evaluated by others, and 
  • the person thinks that the behaviour would have a positive consequence, and therefore, intends to engage in that behaviour.
