If the image formed by a mirror for all positions of the object in front of it is always erect diminished, what type of mirror is it? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer . Where and why do we generally use this type of mirror?

Answer»

Solution :CANVEX mirrox always FORMS an erect, virtual and
diminishedimage for all positions of the object
placed in front of it.

Uses:
(i) Convex mirrors are used as rear-VIEW mirrous in vehicles to see the traffic atthe rear
side (or back side) because- (i) a convex mirror always produces an eract image of
the object, (ii) the image formed in a convex mirror is highly diminished due towhich
a convex mirror gives a wide field of view.
(ii) Big canvex mirrors are used as 'shop security mirrors' By installing a big canbex
mirror at a STRATEGIC point in the shop,the OWNER can keep an eye on the
customerto look for thievesand shoplifters among them as canvex mirrors always
form a virtual, diminished and erect image.

What are the uses of concave and convex mirrors ?

Answer»

Solution :Uses of Concave Mirror. 1. Large sized concave mirrors are used to focus solar energy on an object to be heated. Due to a limited amount of oil and gas, the importance of solar cookers can no longer be ignored.
2. Concave mirrors are used as reflectors in car head-lights, search lights, TORCHES and table lamps.
3. Concave mirrors can be used as a shaving mirror. When the concave mirror is placed at a distance less than its focal length from the face, a magnified erect image is produced. Hence any cut or left over hair can easily be observed with the help of a concave mirror.
4. Concave mirrors are used by doctors to concentrate light on ear, nose, throat, etc.
Uses of Convex Mirror. Convex mirrors are used in automobiles (e.g., scooters, cars, trucks, buses, etc.) to see large traffic at the back. The advantage of using a convex mirror is that it GIVES a very large field of view of the rear traffic than a plane mirror. The disadvantage of convex mirror is that since the image is always formed between P and F, we cannot accurately judge the distance and speed of the traffic at the back. Usually two mirrors, one plane and the other convex are used to see back traffic. Whereas convex mirrors, on side of vehicle gives wide field of view, plane mirror in FRONT of driver HELPS us in JUDGING the distance and speed of the back traffic.

Explain the experiment of measuring the real and apparent expansion of a liquid with a neat diagram.

Answer»

Solution :(i) To START with the liquid whose real and APPARENT expansion is to be determined is poured in a container up to a LEVEL. Mark this level as `L_(1)`.
(ii) Now, heat the container and the liquid using a burner as shown in the FIGURE INITIALLY, the container receives the thermal energy and it expands.
As a result, the volume of the liquid appears to have reduced. Mark this reduced level of liquid as `L_(2)`

On further heating, the thermal energy supplied to the liquid through the container results in the expansion of the liquid. Hence, the level of liquid rises to `L_(3)`. Now, the difference between the levels `L_(1) and L_(3)` called as apparent expansion, and the difference between the levels `L(2) and L_(3)` is called real expansion. The real expansion is always more than that of apparent expansion
Real expansion = `L_(1)-L_(2)`
Apparent expansion `=L_(2)-L_(1)`

Naphthalene burns with a clean blue flame.

Answer»

Solution :(1) Naphthalene is an unsaturated COMPOUND. In unsaturated hydrocarbon the proportion of CARBON is larger than that of SATURATED hydrocarbon. As a result, some unburnt carbon particles are also farmed during COMBUSTION of unsaturated compounds.
(2) In the flame, these unburnt hot carbon particles emit yellow light and therefore the flame appears yellow. HENCE, naphthalene burns with a yellow flame.

Make a list of comventional and non-conventional energy sources. Give a brief description of harnessing one non -conventional energy source.

Answer»

Solution :Conventional Energy sources:
• Fossil fuels`""` • Hydroelectric power plant
• Thermal power plant `""`Biomass
Non-conventional energy sources:
• Solar energy `""` • Tidal energy
• Nuclear energy `""` • Ocean thermal energy
Harnessing nuclear energy :
Nuclear energy is a non-conventional energy source and can be harnessed by nuclear fission. The nucleus of a heavy atom (such as uranium, plutonium, or thorium), when bombarded with low-energy neutrons, can be SPLIT into lghter nuclei. VHEN done, a tremendous AMOUNT of energy is released if the mass of the orginal nuceus is just a litcle more than the sum of the masses of the individual products. The fission of an atom of uranium, for example, produces 10 million times the energy produced by the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal. In a nuclear reactor designed for electric power generation, such a nuclear .fuel. can be PART of a self-sustaining fission chain reaction that releases energy at a controlled rate. The released energy can be used to produce steam and further generate electricity.

A convex lens produces a real and inverted image 2.5 times maganified at a distance of 25 cm from the lens. Calcuate the focal length of the lens.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Given : Magnification = 2.5 (Real image)
Distance ofthe image (v) = 25 cm
To find :
Distance of the object (u)
Focal LENGTH (f)
Solution : M = `(h_(2))/(h_(1))`
-2.5 =` 25/(h_(1)) `
`h_1 = -10`
`therefore` Distance of the object = 10 cm .
`1/v - 1/u = 1/f `
`1/25 - 1/-10 = 1/f `
`1/25 + 1/10 = 1/f `
`1/f = (2+5)/50`
`1/f = 7/50`
`f = 50/7 `
f = 7.14 cm

A stone thrown vertically upwards with initial velocity u reaches a height h before coming down. Show that the time taken to go up is same as the time taken to come down.

Answer»

Solution :When OBJECT is THROWN up
INITIAL velocity `=um//s`

Final velocity`=0m//s`
Acceleration`==gm//s^(2)`
Time taken to go up `=t_(1)`
According to 1st EQ.of motion
`v=u+"GT"`
`0=u-"gt"_(1)`
`"gt"_(1)=u`
`t_(1)=u/g(s)`.....i
when object falls down.
Initial velocity `=0m//s`
Final velocity `(v)=um//s`
Acceleration `=gm//s^(2)`
Time taken to go down `=t_(2)`
According to 1st eq. of motion
`v=u+"gt"`
`u=0+"gt"_(2)`
`t_(2)=u/t(s)`.........ii
`t_(1)=t_(2)`

(a) Light enters from air to glass having refractive index of 1.50. What is the speed of light in glass? The speed of light in vacuum is 3xx10^(8)ms^(-1). (b) An object is situated at a position in between the main focus (F) and 2F of a convex lens. Draw the ray diagram showing the position, size and nature of image formed.

Answer»

Solution :(a) We know
Refractive Index, `MU=("Velocity of Light in Vacuum")/("Velocity of Light in Glass")`
We are given, refractive index of glass = 1.50
Velocity of Light in vacuum = `3xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`
`therefore1.50=(3xx10^(8))/("Velocity of Light in Glass")`
Velocity of Light in glass = `(3xx10^(8))/(1.50)=2xx10^(8)ms^(-1)`
(b) When the OBJECT is placed between F and 2F the image FORMED is real and inverted. The diagram is as given below

The size of the image DEPENDS upon exact position of the object. The position is between F and 2F.
