a) What is Tyndall effect? Give two examples for Tyndall effect. b) What is the meaning of power of accommodation of eye? How does this help us to see objects at different distances?

Answer»

Solution :(a) The scattering of light by the particles in a colloidal medium is called Tyndall effect.
Examples :
Sunlight passing through a dense forest.
Focusing a beam of red light-in milk.
Passing a blue light to a dark ROOM.
(b) The ability of eye to focus both near and distant objects, by adjusting the focal length is called power of accommodation of the eye. When the ciliary muscles are RELAXED, the eye lens becomes thin, the focal length increases and the distant objects are clearly visible to the EYES. To see the near by objects clearly, the ciliary muscles contract making the eye lens thicken. THUS the focal length of the eye lens decrease and the near by objects BECOME visible to the eyes. Hence the human eye lens is able to adjust its focal length to view both distant objects

Study the following procedure and answer the question below : 1. Take 3 spheres of iron , copper and lead of equal mass. 2. Put all the 3 spheres in boiling water in a beaker for some time. 3. Take 3 spheres out of the water. Put them immediately on a thick slab of wax. 4. Note the dept that each sphere goes into the wax. (i) Which property of a substance can be studied with this procedure ? ltbr. (ii) Describe that property in minimum words. (iii) Explain the rule of heatexchange with this property.

Answer»

Solution :(i) SPECIFIC heat. LTBR. (ii) Specific heat`:` The amount of heat energyrequired to raise the temperature of a unit mass of an object by `1^(@)C ` .
(ii) Accordiing to the rule `/` principle of heat exchange , heat energy lost by the hot object = heat energy gained by the cold object.
In this activity , heat absorbed by the iron sphere is transmitted more in the wax,hence the sphere goes deepest into the wax, while the LEAD sphere goes deepest into the wax, whilethe lead sphere absorbs less heat, resulting in less transmission of heat in the wax, hence the sphere goes the least depth into the wax.

Among the statements given below select the ones that correctly describes the concept of sustainable development (i) planned growth with minimum damage to the environment. (ii) growth irrespective of the extent of damage caused to the environment. (iii) stopping all development work to conserve the environment. (iv) growth that is acceptable to all the stakeholders.

Answer»

(i) and (iv)
(ii) and (iii)
(ii) and (iv)
only (iii)

Solution :Sustainable DEVELOPMENT MEANS planned growth with minimum damage to the environment. The growthof environment should not be harmful to the stakeholders as well. It should be acceptable to them, e.g., if some trees have to the cut for various PURPOSES, then damage to the environment can be minimised by PLANTING new samplings in place of cut trees.

Haveyou seen that objects beyond and above a holi fire appear to be shaking?

Answer»

Solution :1. Local atmospheric conditions affect the refraction on light.
2. The air NEAR holi flames is hot and hence rarer than the air aboveit.
3 The refractive indexof air keep increasing and the direction of light rays coming from objects BEYOND the holi fire changes DUE to changing refractive index above the fire.
4. Thus, the objects appear to be MOVING.

When a pin of height 4 cm is fixed at 10 cm from a convex lens, the height of the virtual image formed is 16 cm . Find the focal length of the lens.

Answer»

SOLUTION :DATA : Convex lens, Convex lens , `h_(1)=4 cm , `
`h_(2)=16 cm` (virtual IMAGE ) , `u=-10CM, f=?`
`(h_(2))/(h_(1))=v/u`
`therefore (16 cm)/(4 cm) =(v)/(-10cm)=(1)/(10cm)-(1)/(40cm)`
`=(4-1)/(40cm) =(3)/(40 cm)`
`therefore f=(40)/(3)` cm =13.33 cm(approximately)

If fallen foliage in forest, dead trees, and carcasses in and around villages had not been decomposed for years "…....................."

Answer»

Solution :i. If fallen foliage in forest, DEAD trees, and carcasses in and around VILLAGES had not been decomposed for years, they will remain as it is in nature.
ii. Complex carbon SUBSTANCES from fallen foliage in forests, dead trees,carcasses, ETC., are converted to simpler carbon compounds by decomposers.
iii. Due to decomposition, these carbon compounds easily mix with air, WATER and soil from where they are again absorbed by plants and incorporated into the food chain.
iv. If these materialare not decomposed by decomposers, recycling of various compounds from biotic to abiotic components won't be possible and the ecological balance would be disturbed.

Explain how the colour of the scattered light depends on the size of the colloidal particles.

Answer»

Solution :The SIZE of the scattering particles decides the wavelength of the light which they scatter and hence, the colour of the scattered light. Smaller particles such as air MOLECULES in the atmosphere having sizes less than the wavelength of VISIBLE light mainly scatter blue light of shorter wavelengthin the visible spectrum. The particles of relatively larger size scatter light of longer wavelengths [near red end of the spectrum]. The large particles like raindrops, dust and ICE scatter white light. This makes the CLOUDS appear white.

(i) Calculate the mass of 6.023 xx 10^(20) molecules of H_2O. (ii) Calculate the moles of 12g of magnesium. (iii) Calculate the number of molecules present in 50 g of Fe.

Answer»

Solution :Molecular mass of `H_2O = H XX 2 + O xx 1`
`= 1 xx 2 + 16 xx 1`
`= 2 + 16 = 18`
Mass of an ATOM = `("Number of atoms")/("Avagardo.s number") xx "mass of" H_2O`
`= (6.023 xx 10^(20))/(6.023 xx 10^(23)) xx 18`
`10^(-3) xx 18`
Mass of an atom = 0.018 g
(II) Number of moles = `("Given mass")/("molecular mass")`
`= 12/24 = 1/2 = 0.5`
`:. 12 g` MAGNESIUM makes 0.5 moles.
(iii) Number of atoms = `("Avagadro number" xx " Given mass)/("Gram atomic mass")`
`=(6.023 xx 10^(23) xx 50)/(55.9)`
`= 5.387 xx 10^(23)`
`:. 50 g Fe` contain `5.387 xx 10^(23)` atoms/molecules.

Calculate the pressure at a depthe 'h' in a liquid.

Answer»

Solution :1. LET us consider a container which contains a liquid in it of density`'rho'`
2. Consider cylindrical column of height 'h' from the surface of the liquid of cross sectional area "A".
3. The volume of the liquid column V = Ah
`"MASS"="Volume"xx"density"`
`rArrm=Ahrho`
`"Weight W"=mg=Ahrhog`
From Newton's law the force on the liquid column is zero, because it is at REST.
4. The forces acting on the WATER column are
a. Weight (W), vertically down
b. Force on the surface due to atmospheric pressure `(P_(@)A)` acting vertically down.
c. Froce on the botton surface of the column due to static pressure of liquid (PA), acting vertically up.
5. From Newton's law we get
`PA=P_(@)A+WrArrPA=P_(@)A+hrhogArArrPA=A(P_(@)+hrhog)`
`thereforeP=P_(@)+hrhog`
P = Pressure at depth 'h' from the surface of the liquid
`P_(@)`= Atmospheric pressure
`therefore`The pressure inside the liquid at a constant depth is constant depth is constant.

Answer»

`-(3hati+4hatk)`
`-(4hati+3hatk)`
`3hati+4hatk`
`2hati+3hatk`

SOLUTION :SINCE body is in EQUILIBRIUM
`vecA +vecB+VECC=vecO`
`vecC=-(vecA+vecB)=-[hati+hatj+hatk+2hati-hatj+3hatk]`
`=-[3hati+0hatj+4hatk)=-(3hati+4hatk)`

The far point of a myopic person is 80 cm in front of the eye. What is the nature and power of the lens required to correct the problem ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The remedial lens should make the objects at INFINITY appear at the far point.
For object at infinity, `u = - oo`.
Far-point distance of the defected eye, `v = -80 CM`.
By lens formula,
`(1)/(f) = (1)/(v) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(-80) - (1)/(- oo) = -(1)/(80) + 0 = -(1)/(80)`
ORF = - 80 cm.
Power `P = (100)/(f("in cm")) = (100)/(-80) = -1.25 D`.
Negative SIGN shows that the remedial lens is a concave lens.

A container whose capacity is 70 ml is filled with a liquid up to 50 ml. then the liquid in the container is heated. Initially, the level of the liquid falls from 50 ml to 48.5 ml. then we heat more, the level of the liquid rises to 51.2 ml. find the apparent and real expansion.

Answer»

Solution :LEVEL of the liquid `L_(1)=50 ml`
Level of the liquid `L_(2)-48.5 ml`
Level of the liquid `L_(3)=51.2 ml`
APPARENT expansion`L_(3)=L_(1)=51.2 ml-50 ml=1.2 ml`
REAL expansion `=L_(3)-L_(1)=51.2 ml-48.5 ml=2.7 ml`
So, Real expansion > apparent expansion

When a plastic bottle completelyfilled with water is kept in a freezer, it breaks. Why does this happen?

Answer»

Solution :(1) The temperature of air in the FREEZER ( deep freeze) COMPARTMENT of a refrigerator is less thatn `0^(@)C `. ( 2) When a plastic bottle, completely filled with WATER, is KEPT in this compartment , the temperature of water fallsbelow `4^(@)C` and the water expands. Even when water freezesand ice is formed, there is an increases in the volume. It exerts a LARGE pressure on the sides of the bottle and hence the bottle is likely to break.
