Question 1.
What happens if an object is placed at centre of curvature of a mirror ? Draw the ray diagram.
Answer:
From the ray diagram we conclude that the image of the object will be formed at the same distance as the object and it will be inverted and of the same size. The image is real because it forms on a screen.

Question 7.
Why does respiration considered as an exothermic reaction ? Explain.
(OR)
How do you prepare washing soda ? What are its uses ?
Answer:

  1. We need energy to stay alive.
  2. We get this energy from food we eat.
  3. During digestion, food is broken down into simpler substances.
  4. For example, rice and potato contains starch.
  5. The starch breaks down to form glucose.
  6. This glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and releases energy, which helps to do the various works.
  7. During this process, energy is given out. Hence this reaction can be called exothermic reaction.
  8. The special name of this reaction is respiration;
  9. So, respiration is considered as exothermic reaction.
  10. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Q (Energy)

(OR)
Preparation of washing soda :

  1. Washing soda can be obtained from sodium chloride.
  2. Baking soda is obtained from sodium chloride as follows.
    NaCl + H2O +CO2 + NH3 → NH4Cl + NaHCO3
  3. On heating,faking soda produces sodium carbonate.
    2NaHCO3 TS 10th Class Physical Science Model Paper Set 1 with Solutions 3 Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
  4. Recrystallization of sodium carbonate gives washing soda.
    Na2CO3 → 10H2O + Na2CO3.10H2O

Uses of washing soda:

  1. Washing soda (sodium carbonate) is used in glass, soap and paper industries.
  2. It is used in the manufacture of sodium compounds such as borax;
  3. Sodium carbonate can be used as a cleaning agent for domestic purposes.
  4. It is used for removing permanent hardness of water.

Question 8.
Write characteristics of image foraled due to convex lens at various distances.
(OR)
Heisenberg contradicts Neils Bohr. Explain in what way he contradicts.
Answer:

Position of the object Position of the image Relative size of the image Nature of the image
1) At infinity Focal point Highly diminished Real and inverted
2)Beyond centre of cur­vature (C2) Between F1 and C1 Point size diminished Real and inverted
3)At the centre of curvature (C2) At C1 Same size Real, inverted
4)Between centre of cur­vature focal point (C2 and F2) Beyond centre of curvature Magnified Real, inverted
5) At focal point (F2) At infinity Highly magnified Real and inverted
6) Between focal point and pole F2 and P On the same side of the lens of the object Magnified Virtual and erect

(OR)

  1. According to Bohr electrons revolve around nucleus in definite paths or orbits, so the exact position of the electron at various times will be known to us.
  2. In order to explain Bohr’s postulate we have to know the velocity and exact position of electron.
  3. In order to find the position of electron we have to take the help of suitable light to find the
    position. As the electrons are very small light of very short wavelength is required for this task.
  4. This short wavelength light interacts with the electron and disturbs the motion of the electron.
  5. Hence, it is not possible to find the exact position and velocity of electron simultaneously. This was stated by Heisenberg which is called Heisenberg’s principle or uncertainty.
  6. In this way Heisenberg contradicts Neils Bohr.

i) pushed into the coil ?
ii) withdrawn from inside the coil?
iii) held stationary inside the coil ?
Answer:
TS 10th Class Physical Science Model Paper Set 1 with Solutions 4

  1. Consider a conductor with cross-sectional area A. Assume that the two ends of the conductor are connected to a battery to make the current flow through it.
  2. Let ‘Vd’ be the drift speed of the charges and ‘n’ be the number of charges.present in the conductor in unit volume.
  3. The distance covered by each charge in one second is ‘Vd’.
  4. Then the volume of the conductor for this distance = AVd
  5. The number of charges contained in that volume = n.AVd
  6. Let q be the charge of each carrier.
  7. Then the total charges crossing the cross-sectional area at position D in one second is ‘nq AVd’.
    This is equal to electric current.
    ∴ Electric current I = nq AVd.
    ∴ Vd = \(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{nqA}}\)

(OR)

i) Flemming right hand rule indicates the direction of magnetic force acting on a moving charge.
ii) It is used when velocity and field are perpendicular to each other. If the fore finger points towards the direction of velocity of charge or current (I), middle finger points to the direction of field (B), then thumb gives the direction of force (F).

b)
i) Needle in Galvanometer gets deflected. (Or) Current is generated in the coil.
ii) Needle in Galvanometer gets deflected. (Or) Current is generated in the coil.
iii) Needle in Galvanometer does not get deflected. (Or) Current is not generated in the coil.
