Does independence of the judiciary mean that the judiciary is not accountable to any one? Write your answer in not more than 100 words. |
|
Answer» The independence of the judiciary does not mean that the judiciary is not accountable to anyone. The judiciary has to work according to the laws written in the constitution. Any kind of misbehaviour and incapacity of the judges can lead to their removal from the post. The judges have to write and explain the grounds of their decision made in the court. They cannot rule one way today and the opposite tomorrow in the same case. The judiciary cannot interfere in the sphere of legislature and executive. The system has to function independently while having accountability to the Constitution. |

Describe propagation environment under root mediumi |
|
Answer» This is the mode by which plants reproduce asexually. It involves the production of new plants from the vegetative parts of an existing plant. Different methods of vegetative propagation in plants include stem cutting, layering and grafting. • Grafting involves fusion of tissues of one plant with those of another plant. Grafting is a vegetative method of propagation for apples and roses. • Leaf buds can grow as young plants in Bryophyllum. When the leaf touches moist soil, each bud grows into a new plantlet. • Rhizomes are horizontal, underground plant stems with shoots and roots serving as reproductive structures. |

[Pt(NH 3)Cl(NO 2)] is named as DiamineChloridoNitrito-N-Platinum(II) but NO2 exists in both anion group and cation group... If we consider it in the case of cation group then the name should be written as Nitronium instead of Nitrito-N-..... But why it is written as Nitrito-N- in all the cases.....???? |
|
Answer» An ambidentate ligand, nitrite has the potential to coordinate via the N- (nitro) or O- (nitrito) atoms in a manner that can direct its reactivity. We define the name according to its linkage in such groups, not on the basis of anion and cation. The NO2 ligates with the central atom through the nitrogen atom and thus is called diammine.....nitrito-N-Platinum. |

Define the term power of accommodtion. Write the modification in the curvature of the eye lens which enables us to see the nearby objects clearly. |
|
Answer» The ability of the eye lens to abjust its focal length, so as to clearly focus rays coming from distant as well as near objects on the retina, is called the power of accommodation of the eye. The ciliary muscles contract which increases the curvature of eye lens and it thickens which enables us to see the nearby objects clearly. |

What is the function of the radial magnetic field in the moving coil galvanometer? |
| Answer» Galvanometer detects the presence of electric current in a circuit. | |
| 37. |
(a) Write the function of each of the following parts of human eye : (i) Cornea (ii) Iris (iii) Crystalline lens (iv) Ciliry muscles |
|
Answer» (i) Cornea. The front part of the eye is called cornea. It is made of a transparent substance which is convex in shape. The light coming from objects enters the eye through the cornea. (ii) Iris. Iris is a flat, coloured , ring shaped muscle behind the cornea of the eye. There is a hole in the middle of the iris called pupil. The iris controls the amount of light entering the eyes. (iii) Crystalline lens. The eye-lens forms a real image of the objects on the retina of the eye and light sensitive cells on the retina generate electrical signals which are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and give rise to the sensation of vision. (iv) Ciliary muscles. The eye-lens is held in position by suspensory ligaments and ciliary muscles. Ciliary muscles change the thickness of eye-lens while focussing. In other words, the focal length of eye-lens can be changed by changing its shape by the action of ciliary muscles. (b) At the time of sunrise, the sun is near the horizon and the sunlight has to travel the greatest distance through the atomosphere to reach us. During this long journey of the sunlight, most of the shorter wavelength blue light is scattered out and away from our lineof sight. So the light coming from the rising sun mainly consists of longer wavelength red colour due to which the sun appears red early in the morning. This phenomenon can not be observed by an astronaut on the moon because there is no atmosphere containing air on the moon to scatter sunlight. Since there is no scattered light to reach the eyes of an astronaut, thus, the sky looks dark and black there. |

An object 5 cm high is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a convex lens of a focal length 15 cm . Find the position and nature |
|
Answer» Given:- Height of Object, Ho = 5cm Distance of the Object, u = -30cm Focal length , f = +15cm Now, \(\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}\) \(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{u}\) \(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{30}\) \(v = 30cm\) (i) The image is formed at a distance of 30cm from the lens to its right side. (ii) Magnification, m = \(\frac{v}{u} = \frac{30}{-30}\) \(= -1\) The image formed is real, inverted and of the same size as that of object. |
