whereas glass is a bad conductor of clectricity

Answer» <p>Glass is actually an insulator. It doesn'tallow the flow of electrons easily from atom to atom, as seen in substances like copper, and other metals which are excellent conductors of both heat and electricity. Insulators have electrons that are held tightly which means they aren'tshared between other atoms.</p>

Explain the process and precautions in verifying law of conservation of mas.

Answer» <p>Ans :- Process :Take 5ml of sodium sulphate solution in a measuring cylinder and pour it into a conical flask.</p><p>Take about 5 ml of barium chloride solution in another measuring cylinder and pour it into a 10ml test tube.</p><p>Tie the test tube using a thread and hang the test tube in the conical flask carefully, so that the solutions do not mix with each other.</p><p>Put a cork in the mouth of the flask so that the thread holding the test tube is held firmly in place.</p><p>Carefully weigh the flask on a weighing balance and note the reading.</p><p>Tilt and swirl the flask so that barium chloride solution in the test tube spills and mixes with sodium sulphate solution in the flask and forms a white coloured precipitate of barium sulphate (BaSO4)and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl).</p><p>Wait for 10 min. to complete the reaction. The white precipitate settles down to the bottom of the flask.</p><p>Weigh the contents of the flask again and note the reading.</p><p>Precautions :</p><p>When setting up the apparatus, and while taking the first reading of the total mass of apparatus and reactants, care must be taken that the barium chloride solution in the ignition tube does not spill and mix with the sodium sulphate solution in the conical flask.</p><p>To start the chemical reaction, tilt and swirl the flask well so that barium chloride solution in the ignition tube spills and mixes with sodium sulphate solution in the flask.</p>

Answer» <p>The soil profile is one of the most important concepts in soil science. It is a key to understanding the processes that have taken in soil development and is the means of determining the types of soil that occur and is the basis for their classification. The soil profile is defined as a vertical section of the soil from the ground surface downwards to where the soil meets the underlying rock. The soil profile can be as little as 10 cm thick in immature soils and as deep as several metres in tropical areas where the climate is conducive to rapid alteration of the underlying rock to form soil. In temperate areas, the soil profile is often around a metre deep and in arid areas somewhat shallower than this.</p><p>Virtually all soil profiles are composed of a number of distinctive layers, termed horizons, interpretation of which is the key to understanding how the soil has formed. Most soils will have three or more horizons. Soils that have not been cultivated will normally have L, F and H layers at the surface. These layers largely represent different degrees of decomposition of organic matter, the L layer representing thelitter layerformed of recognisable plant and soil animal remains, the F layer below, thefermentation layer, usually consisting of a mixture of organic matter in different stages of decomposition, and the H layer, thehumose layer, consisting largely of humified material with little or no plant structure visible. Below these, and in cultivated soils occupying the surface layer, is the A horizon composed of a more or less intimate mixture of mineral and organic matter. The A horizon is often referred to as the ‘ploughed layer’ in cultivated soils. It is an important part of the soil because it is a source of plant nutrients and contains the majority of plant roots. The A horizon may lie directly on the B horizon or, in well developed soils, there may be an intermediate leached horizon, termed E or A2, depending on the nomenclature system used. The E/A2 horizon is usually paler in colour than the horizons above and below because it is a horizon that has been subject to leaching and loss of components compared to the A and B horizons.</p><p>The B horizon is the horizon most widely used to identify soil types. Its morphology is important in supporting the classification of soils. In some soils the B horizon results purely from the weathering of the underlying rock whereas in other soils this weathering is supplemented by the translocation of materials from overlying horizons. Thus the B horizon needs to be inspected carefully in order to understand the genesis of the soils. B horizons may have a number of different subscripts indicative of the nature of the materials that have moved into the horizon, e.g. Bh indicates the translocation of humus into the horizon, Bs, the translocation of sesquioxides. These subscripts will vary according to the nature of the soil component that has accumulated but also with the system of nomenclature of soil types.</p><p>Below the B horizon is the C horizon. This latter horizon is often consistent with the parent material and may have been little altered from the material in which the soil originally formed.</p><p>Most soils have A, B and C horizons. Some, generally weakly developed, soils may have A horizons lying directly on C horizons. When next you see a profile down through the soil, perhaps in an excavated pit or in a roadside cutting, take time to look at the profile and see if you can identify some of the different soil layers that make up the profile.</p><p>Please hit the like button if this helped you</p>

Explain the working of human eye.

Answer» <p>In a normal eye light rays come to a sharp focusing point on the retina. The retina functions much like the film in a camera. The retina receives the image that the cornea focuses through the eye's internal lens and transforms this image into electrical impulses that are carried by the optic nerve to the brain.</p>
2543.

(a) Focusing Mechanism in the Human Eye

Answer» <p>The eye focuses light in a similar way to when you use a magnifying glass to concentrate the Sun’s rays onto a piece of paper. The distance from the magnifyinglensto the piece of paper is thefocal length.</p><p>For the eye, light from distant objects is focused onto theretinaat the back of the eye.</p><p>The eye is about the size of a table tennis ball, so the focal length needs to be about 2.5 cm.</p><p>The cornea does most of the focusing</p><p>The crystalline lens and accommodation</p><p>Behind the aqueous fluid is the second lens system. It consists of a convex lens that is soft and pliable. Theciliary muscleis a circular ring ofmusclethat attaches all the way around the lens. This ciliary muscle can change the shape of the crystalline lens by stretching it at the edges. It is attached to the lens by zonules (ligament fibres that can be tight or loose).</p><p>When you are looking at a near object, the lens needs to become more rounded at the central surface inordertofocusthe light rays. This ability to changefocusfor close-up objects is calledaccommodation.</p>
