PHYSICS ————————— SECTION-I (40 Marks) Compulsory : Attempt all questions from this Section. ion 1. (@) Which class of levers has a mechanical advantage always greater than one ? What change can be brought about in this lever to increase its mechanical advantage ? fa] (b) Two bodies, A and B of equal mass are kept at heights 20 m and 30 m respectively. Calculate the ratio of their potential energies. [2] (©) What is the S.1. unit of upthrust ? Mention one factor on which the upthrust of a liquid depends.~ [ay (a) Why are infra-red radiations preferred over ordinary visible light for taking photo-graphs in fog ? 12 (e) Define Relative density of a substance.** [2] Answer: (@) Class Il lever has a mechanical advantage always greater than one. To increase mechanical advantage effort arm must be inercased and load arm must be decreased. (b) Given two bodies of equal mass. Height of A Height of B PE, PE, Ans. (d) Infra-red radiations are preferred hecause it scatters less and can penetrate through fog so photography can be done easily. Question 2. (a) Mention wo reasons why water is not a suitable barometric liquid."* BI () State Snell’s Law of Refraction of light. 121 (©) G) What will be the colour of a blue flower when it is seen in magenta coloured light ?** Gi) Name another secondary colour of light in which the flower will show the same colour as it shows in the magenta coloured light. ** fl) ‘© “Answer has not given due to out of present syllabus.(@) The upper blood pressure ofa patient ix 160 em of mercury whereas the normal blood pressure should be 120 cm of mercury. How much extra pressure i generated by the heart above the normal pressure 2 (Give your answer in Sp unit) Donsity of mercury = 13600 hg m-;g = 9.8 m s-). 1 (©) Draw an approximate graph to show the variation of atmospheric pressure with altitude, “* 2) Answer. (b)_ Snell's law of reffaction states that the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for a given pair of media. This constant j called refractive index of the medium. hee al per Question 3. (a) Define the terms : (i) Amplitude (ii) Frequency (as applied to sound waves.) ra) (b) An object is placed in front of a converging lens at a distance greater than twice the focal length of the lens. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image. Ry (©) Mention one difference between reflection of light fram a plane mirror and total internal reflection of light from a prism. [2] (A) The V-I graph for a sories combination and for a parallel ¥ p combination of two resistors is as shown in the figure along- side: A Which of the two, A or B, represents the parallel combina- tion ? Give a reason for your answer. [21 A (e) Of the three connecting wires in a household cireuit : (Which two of the three wires are at the same potential ? (ii) In which of the three wires should the switch be connected ? ° a) Answer. (by (ec) The reflection from a plane mirror depends upon the polishing of the surface whereas in prism it is not so and light is totally reflected. (@) ‘A’ represents parallel combination because resistance of ‘A’ is less than we know resistance is parallel combination is less than series combination, as ** Answer has not given due to out of present syllabus,{@ (Neutral and Barth Wires. Gi) Switch should be connected in line wire. question 4. (a) What will an alpha particle change into when it absorbs : (i) One electron; Gi) Two electrons ? (2) (&) Some hot water was added to three times its mass of cold water at 10°C and the resulting temperature was found to be 20°C. What was the temperature of the hot water ? PI (©) Calewlate the value of the resistance which must be connected to a 15 2 resistance to provide an effective resistance of 602 ta (a) Why are burns caused by steam more severe than those caused by boiling water at the same temperature ? I (© Mention two important properties of a metal that make it a good thermionic emitter. [2] Answer : (@) (@) Alpha particle becomes single ionised helium (He*) on absorbing one electron. Gi) Alpha particle becomes Helium atom on absorbing two electrons. ) Let mass of hot water = m kg So mass of cold water = 8m kg. Tet temperature of hot water be tC. Heat taken hy cold water = me AQ, &mxex{20—10) ‘Heat given by hot water = m xe x (t- 20) By principle of calorimetry ‘Heat given = Heat taken mxex (¢-20) = 8mxex (20-10) t-20 = 3x10 ie, # = 50°C. Ans. (©) Given : Ry = 15 ©, Resistance of combination = R = 6 Q As equivalent resistance is less than the individual resistance. So resistance are connected in parallel, So Ans. (@) Burns caused by steam are more painfully because steam has latent heat of vaporisation which is the highest. So burns by steam are more severe as ‘compaired to boiling water.
