Which are the three aspects of disaster that are important for common citizens?

Answer»

Solution :The phase of emergency, TRANSITIONAL phase and reconstruction phase are the three phases of disaster that are important for common citizens.
(1) Phase of emergency: If timely and RAPID action is taken during this phase, maximum lives can be saved. Search and rescue operations, medical help, first ai.d, restoring communication services, REMOVING the people from. affected area are done during this phase. The gravity of disaster can be estimated during this phase.
(2) Transitional Phase: The disaster subsides and then the work of transitional phase starts. The main concern is rehabilitation work for the affected and displaced people. This work includes clearing of debris, resto~ing water supply, repairing roads, etc. to bring normalcy in public life. Help from different voluntary and Government institute is taken to offer the monetary provision and essential commodities to affected victims. Permanent means of livelihood is given to the people to reduce their mental and emotional stress. The victims are truly rehabilitated.
(3) Reconstruction Phase : Reconstruction phase is a highly complicated phase which actually overlaps with transition stage. Help is OFFERED to people to RECONSTRUCT their buildings. Other facilities like roads and water supply are restored. Farming practices are restarted. It is a very gradual phase that makes the victims to completely rehabilitate.

Draw ray diagrams showing (i) myopia eye and (ii) hypermetropia eye.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Myopia is caused by ELONGATION of EYEBALL which results in FOCUSING of IMAGE in front of retina. Thus, the distant images are blurry but the nearby images are clear.

(ii) Hypermetropia is caused by an eyeball which is too SHORT, resulting in focusing of image behind the retina. In this case, distant images are clear but the near by images are blurry.

In the circuit diagram given in (a), suppose the resistors R_1,R_2 and R_3 have values 5 Omega, 10 Omega and 30 Omega respectively, which have been connected to a battery of 12 V. Calculate (a) the current through each resistor, (b) the total current in the circuit, and ( c) the total circuiot resistance.

Answer»

Solution :(a) Since `R_1,R_2` and `R_3` are in parallel, the pd (V) across each ONE of them is the same, i.e., `12 V`
Thus, `I_1 ("current through" R_1) = (V)/(R_1) = (12 V)/(5 Omega) = 2.4 A`
`I_2 ("current through" R_2) = (V)/(R_2) = (12 V)/(10 Omega) = 1.2 A`
`I_3 ("current through" R_3) = (V)/(R_3) = (12 V)/(30 Omega) = 0.4 A`
(b) TOTAL current in the CIRCUIT, `I = I_1 + I_2 + I_3 = 2.4 A + 1.2 A + 0.4 A = 4 A`
(c) If `R_p` is the total resistance in the circuit, then
`(1)/(R_p) = (1)/(R_1) + (1)/(R_2) + (1)/(R_3) = (1)/(5) + (1)/(10) + (1)/(30) = (1)/(3)`
or `R_p = 3 Omega`
We can also find the total current by first calculating `R_p` and then USING,
`I = (V)/(R_p)`, i.e., `I = (V)/(R_p) = (12 V)/(3 Omega) = 4 A`.

(a) To obtain, a real and MAGNIFIED image,object must lie between f and `2f`i.e.,DISTANCE of flame from the lens should lie between `30` and `60 cm`.
( b) To obtain a virtual image, object must lie between principal FOCUS and optical centre of the lens i.e.,distance of flame from the lens should lie between 0 and `30 cm`.
(c ) To obtain, a real , inverted and SMALLER image of the flame, object must lie beyond `2 f` of the lens, i.e., the flame should be held at a distance be held at a more than `60 cm` from the lens.

On what basis and how will you determine wether airis saturated with vapour or not?

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) We can determine whether air is saturated with vapour or not on the basis of relative humidity.
(ii) Relative humidity is the ratio of actual mass of vapour CONTENT in air for GIVEN volume and temperature to that required to MAKE air saturated with vapour at that temperature.
(iii) If relative humidity is 100%, the air is saturated with vapour. This is CALLED dew point.
(iv) If its value is less than 100%, then air is unsaturated.

(ii) Ag_(s) +HCI_(I) to AgCI darr + H_(2) uarr

Answer»

Solution :Step 1 :Rewrite the given equation as it is
` Ag_(s) + HCI_(I) to AgCI darr + H_(2)`
Step 2 :Writethe number of atoms of each ELEMENT in theunbalanced equation on bothsides of equations.

The number of silver and chlorine atoms on bothsides of the equation are same, therefore, EQUALISE the number of hydrogen atoms.
Step 3:To balance the number of hydrogen atoms .

To equalise the number of hydrogen atoms, we use 2 as the factor in the product HCI, now the unbalanced equation become
` Ag + 2HCI to AgCI + H_(2)`
Step 4 : To balancethe number of chlorine atoms :

To equalise the number of chlorine atoms, we use 2 as the factor in the product , AgCI , now the unbalanced equation becomes
` Ag + 2HCI to 2AgCI + H_(2)`
Now count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation, there are LESS number of silver atoms in the reactant. Now equalise the silver atoms, the balanced equation becomes.
`2Ag + 2HCI to 2AgCI + H_(2)`
Now indicate the physcial states of the reactantsand products
` 2Ag_((s)) + 2HCI_(4(AQ)) to 2AgCI darr + H_(2) uarr `

What is the difference between a direct current and an alternating current? How many times does AC used in India change direction in one second?

Answer»

Solution :DIRECT current ALWAYS flows in one direction but the alternating current reverses its directionperiodically. Also the magnitude of current in case of DC is same throughout whereas in case of AC, it changes continuously. The frequency of AC in INDIA is 50 Hz and in each cycle it alters direction TWICE. Therefore, AC changes direction`2xx50=100` times in one second.
