Physics

16)

Frequency remains same because it does not depend on medium.

17) V αλ , so the longest wavelength component travels with maximum velocity.

18)

If an observer see an object beneath the surface of water from the air then the depth of the
object seems a little elevated. So he should aim below the image of fish.

19)

A mirage occurs because the refractive index of atmosphere increases with height.

20) For real image, both u as well as v should be larger than the focal length. This can be
concluded from ray diagram of convex lens

21) The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium than in a denser medium.

22) Frequency of light does not change when light enters from medium 1 to medium 2.

23) For path 1–3–7, the emergent ray is parallel to incident ray.

24) Since the object is kept at the focus of the lens, the refracted rays will be parallel to each
other and they will strike the plane mirror normally. After reflection from the mirror the rays
will retrace their path to form the image at the same distance itself. Hence the image formed
will be real and at a distance of 15 cm in front of the mirror.

25) Statement I is correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of the statement I.

Explain Question:
We have to calculate the focal length of the lens when the magnification & object’s distance is
given.

Solution:
Find out: The focal length of lens when magnification & object’s distance is given.
Given: u = – 2m = – 200 cm,

m= (image is virtual)

Using, m =
4f = f – 200
3f = – 200
f = – 66.7 cm
Conclusion: Option (4) is correct.

28) Find out: The position of needle and also find the power of lens.
Concept: If size of image is same as size object it means object & image both are placed at 2f
distance on opposite side of lens.
Solution:

Given, V = 50 cm, m = –1 (image is real) Using, m = ⇒ u = – 50 cm

P= = 0.04
P = 4D
Conclusion: Option (1) is correct.

29) According to snell's law. =µ

sin i ∝ sin r
i.e. graph between sin i and sin r has linear relationship as in graph in option (1).

both (1) and (3) are correct

35)

CO, N2O are pollutants of air.

36)

Corrosion of buildings and monuments

37) Depletion of ozone layer takes place due to chlorofluorocarbon.

38)

Carbon monoxide in vehicle exhaust causes reduced oxygen carrying capacity of RBCs.

39) NO2 and SO2 (Nitrogen dioxide and Sulphur dioxide) released from different sources in the
form of smoke dissolve in atmospheric water vapour to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid
(H2SO4 & HNO3). These acids come down on earth with rain water forming acid rain.
2SO2(g) + O2(g) + 2H2O(l) ® 2H2SO4 (l)
4NO2 + O2 + 2H2O ® 4HNO3
Acid rain corrodes the marble of monument, this process is known as Marble cancer.

S.P of 80 pencils = Rs.100
C.P of 80 pencils = Rs.80

73) Given, sum of money amount in 3 years = 2000 Rs. .....(1)

and sum of money amount in 5 years = 2500 Rs. .....(2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
Then sum of money amount in (5 – 3) years = 2500 – 2000
sum of money amount in 2 years = 500
So SI for 2 years = 500

Then SI for 3 years = × 3 = Rs. 750

Principal = 2000 – 750 = 1250 Rs.
