The Newtons law cooling states that the ..of cooling of a body is directly proportional to the mean
.. between the body and ...
The negative sign indicates that the temperature of the body . in the course of time.

An object has specific heat capacity of 1200 J/kg- c. The mass of it is 3 kg. and Its
temperature is 600. What will be its temperature if it absorbed a heat of 5.2 x 105 J ?

An Iron block of 6 kg ,on cooling, reduces its temperature from 400 K to 340 K. Calculate the heat
energy given out by the body if the sp. heat capacity is 444 J/kg-K

(1.598x10 5J)

Light:

List out any three properties of light.

Which phenomenon is shown below? If the angle shown in the diagram is 35 0 what is angle
of reflection?

What make the differences between fig.1 and fig.2 ? What does label A and B represent?

The angle of incidence is always . to angle of reflection.

The phenomenon in which the path of the light will be changing when it enters from one medium to another is
known as ... The velocity of light will be . in different media. When it enters a ..
medium the velocity will be decreasing. The speed will be increasing if it enters a medium. The
reduction of the speed of light in a denser material can be indicated by the refractive index, n, which is defined
as:

Define refractive Index.

The refractive index of a medium is 1.33. If the speed of light in air is 3 x 10 8 m/s. Find the speed in the
medium

Sound is a vibration that travels as a wave through a medium. The particles of the medium transfer these
vibrations one after the other and sound propagates through the medium. Sound is a which
produces sense of hearing. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to ............. The matter that .. the sound to
travel is called the .. Sound , while travelling through the medium produces compression and ...

In the following figure label A and B. Mention ant three differences between sound and light.

............. is the height from the centre of the wave to the top of one of the peaks or it is the ..... displacement
particles experience.

Wavelength is the distance between two points which are in .......... Or it is the distance between two
adjacent .......... or ............. in the case of longitudinal wave .It is the distance between adjacent ...........
or ........... in the case of transverse wave.

Define frequency and time period. What is the relation between them?

Which wave has lowest frequency ? which one has high pitch? How pitch and frequency
depend each other? Which characteristic property of sound will determine the loudness of
sound?

The audible frequency of Humans being is between . to . Hz. . Older people will be deaf to some
..........frequency of sound. A small baby can even respond to sound having frequency ............. 20 Hz.
Sound which is above the range of human hearing is called ............... Humans also cant hear sound below a
certain pitch. Again, certain animals such as elephants can make and hear this sound. Sound which is below
the range of human hearing is called ....................
The sensation of original sound persist in our ear for s. An..is a repetition of sound of a
speaker produced by a distant building or a hill or a wall etc. if
Hence, the sound should travel a total distance of (340 x 1/10) m = 34 m. Thus the least distance of the obstacle
