3. Your friend is not able to differentiate between evaporation and boiling. What questions do you
ask to make him know the differences between evaporation and boiling?
Ans. 1. What is meant by evaporation ?.
2. What is meant by boiling ?
3. At what temperature evaporation take place ?
4. At what temperature boiling take place ?
4. Why transfer of heat energy takes place between systems? (Or) What is thermal equilibrium?
Ans. When two bodies are placed in thermal contact, heat energy will be transferred from the ‘hotter’ body to the
‘colder’ body. This transfer of heat energy is continued till both bodies attain same degree of hotness (or)
coldness. At this stage, we say that the bodies have achieved ‘thermal equilibrium’. Thus, the state of
thermal equilibrium denotes the state of a body where it neither receives nor gives out heat energy.
Ans. Thermal equilibrium means all bodies have equal temperature. So the temperature of C is also 3000C .In
thermal Equilibrium conditions, no heat transfer takes place because heat transfer takes place only when
there is temperature difference.
6. What role does specific Heat capacity play in a watermelon to keep it Cool for long time after
removing it from a fridge on a hot day?
Ans. When a watermelon is removed from a fridge on a hot day it retains its coolness for a long time because.
1. It contains large amount of water.
2. And water has greater specific heat capacity value.
7. How do you appreciate the role of higher specific capacity value of water in establishing
atmospheric temperature during winter and summer seasons?
Ans: During winter the rate of evaporation is less. Hence much heat is not absrobed by water from the
surroundings.Hence warmness is maintained. So, the temperatures during winter remain constant for long
time. During summer the water evaporates quickly and during this process it takes heat from the
atmospheric air and surroundings, so the temperature of the surrounding air decrease a little. As such
the temperature would be a little less than its actual reading.
8. Venkatesh mother gave a cup of a hot tea to Venkatesh father. Father asked venkatesh to cool
the tea. He kept the cup of tea under the moving fan. He made the tea cool and gave to his father.
Why venkatesh kept the tea under the fan?
Ans: 1. If air is blown over the tea cup, increases evaporation as it removes the molecules. As soon as they
escape from the tea, this increases the rate of evaporation.
2. We know that evaporation is a cooling process.
9. Explain , why dogs pant during hot summer days using the concept of evaporation ?
Ans. 1. Dogs pant during hot summer days and get their body cooled. This cooling effect is due to evaporation.
evaporation is a surface phenomenon.
2. Dogs don’t have sweat glands. Their body is covered with hair. They have sweat glands only in their feet.
3. So by panting the water on the tongue evaporates resulting in the cooling of the dogs body.
10.
Ans. The temperature of surrounding air is higher than the temperature of the cold soft drink. Air contains water
molecules in the form of vapour. When the molecules of water in air, during their motion, strike the surface
of cold soft drink bottle which is cool, then the molecules of air lose their kinetic energy which leads to
lower the temperature and they get converted into droplets.

5. Explain the procedure of finding specific heat of solid / Lead shots experimentally.
Ans. Aim: To find the specific heat of a given solid.
Material required : Calorimeter, thermometer, stirrer, water, steam heater, wooden box and lead
shots.
Procedure :
1. Measure the mass of calorimeter with stirrer = m1 gms.
2. Fill one third of the volume of Calorimeter with water.Measure its mass and temperature.
3. Mass of calorimeter with water = m2 gms.
4. Mass of water in calorimeter = ( m2 -m1 ) gms.
5. Initial temperature of water and Calorimeter = T1.
6. Take a few lead shots in steam heater and heat upto 1000C. Let this temperature be T2.
7. Transfer the hot lead shots, quickly into calorimeter without heat loss. After some time it
settles at certain temperature T3.Find the mass of contents. Let it be m3.
8. Mass of lead shots = ( m3 - m2 ) gms.
9. Let S , SW , SC are specific heats of lead shot, water and calorimeter respectively..

10. According to principle of method of mixtures.

Heat lost by hot solid = Heat gained by Calorimeter + Heat gained by water
( m3 m2 ) S (T2 – T3) = m1 Sc (T3 – T1) + (m2 – m1) Sw (T3 – T1)
[ m1SC ( m2 m1 ) SW ](T3 T1 )
S
( m3 m2 ) (T2 T3 )
Knowing the specific heat capacities of calorimeter and water, we can calculate the specific heat of the
solid pieces.
6. Write the factors that effect the process of evaporation. Explain with suitable examples.
Ans. Process of evaporation is effected by temperature,surface area, wind speed , and humidity.
1. Temperature : As temperature increases , the average kinetic energy of the molecules increase. Hence
rate of evaporation increases.
Ex : The rate of evaporation is high during the day time when compared with during night time.
2. Surface area: As free surface area exposed to atmosphere increases, more number of molecules
escape into the atmosphere. So rate of evaporation increases.
Ex :The water kept in a china dish evaporates faster than in a cup because of more surface area.
3.Wind speed : As wind speed increases , the molecules present just above the liquid surface move away
and allow the liquid molecules present on the surface to evaporate.
Ex :Water in wet the wet clothes kept under fan evaporates faster than in normal conditions.
4. Humidity : If the humidity is more, atmosphere can not hold excess vapour from the liquid surface. Hence
rate of evaporation decreases with increase in humidity.
Ex :Water in wet clothes evaporates faster on a less humid day than on a more humid day.
7. Suggest an experiment to prove that rate of evaporation of liquid depends on its surface area.
Ans: Method : 1.Take a test tube and a saucer.
2. Pour 1ml spirit in a test tube and an equal amount of spirit in a saucer.
3. Put them under the Sun.
Observation : We observe the spirit in the saucer evaporates faster.
Conclusion :
8. Suggest an experiment to prove that rate of evaporation of liquid depends on vapour already
present in surrounding air.
Ans: Method : 1. Take two china dishes.
2. Pour 100 ml of sprit in both dishes.
3. Keep one in out side of the class room and other one in class room.
Observation : We observe the volume of sprit kept at out side is less than that of in the class
room.Because density of vapour present in air out side the class room is less than that
of density in the class room.
Conclusion : Rate of Evaporation of liquid depends on vapour already present in surroundings.
9. Explain the process of condensation with example ?
Ans: Procedure : Place a glass tumbler on the table. Pour cold water upto half of its height.
Observation : Water droplets are formed outside of the glass.
Explantion :
1. Air contains water molecules in the form of vapour.
:: 11 ::
2. When the molecules of water in air, during their motion, strike the surface of the glass tumbler which
is cool, they lose their kinetic energy which lowers their temperature and they get converted into
droplets.
3. In this way the process of phase change from gas to liquid is called condensation.
4. The energy lost by water molecle in air is gained by the water molecules of the glass tumbler.
5. The average kinetic energy of water molecules in the tumbler rises. Hence we concluded that
condensation is a warming process.
Conclusion :
Condesation is the phase change from gas to liquid.

0
` Heat energy released from water at 100 C
to convert into water at 00C = m s DT = 1x 1 x (1000C-00C) = 100 cal
Total energy released = 540 + 100= 640 cal.
c. Mass of water (m) = 1 gm
Heat released from 1 gm of water at 00C
when converted into ice at 00C = Latent heat of fusion
= 80 cal/gm
` Heat energy released (Q) = mL
= 1 X 80 = 80 cal
d. Step 1 :
Heat released from 1 gm of water vapour at 1000C
when converted into water at 1000C (Q1) = Latent heat of vapourization

1 MARK QUESTION’S
1. What is meant by refraction?
Ans. The bending of light while travelling from one medium to another medium due to change of speed of
light is called refraction.
2. What is the cause of refraction of light ?
Ans. Light travels with different speeds in different media. The bending (or) refraction of light occurs due to
the change in speed of light as it passes from one medium to another.
:: 16 ::
3. Define refractive index ( OR ) absolute refractive index.
Ans. The ratio between speed of light in vacuum and speed of light in a medium is called absolute refractive
index (n).
Speed of light in vaccum C
n
Speed of light in medium V
4. What are the factors that influence refractive index?
Ans. 1. Nature of the medium. 2. Wavelength of the light. 3. Temperature.
5. In which cases a light ray does not deviate at the interface of two media?
Ans. 1. A light ray does not deviate at interface of two media when it is incident normally.
2. When the refractive indeces of two media are equal.
6. Does refraction of light mean just a change in the direction of light propagation ?
Ans. No. Direction of light propagation can be changed even by reflection from a mirror. But when light
travels from one medium to another , the change in the direction of light propagation is called refraction.
7. Do the frequency and wavelength change when light passes from a rarer to a denser medium ?
Ans. When light passes from a rarer to denser medium, wavelength of light changes but frequencyremains unchanged.
8. A straight rod appears bent in water. Why ?
Ans. A straight rod suffers refraction at surface of water. So the rod is appears to be bent in water.
9. Why it is too difficult to shoot a fish swimming in the water?
Ans. It is very difficult to shoot a fish swimming in water, because its position appears to be shifted up from its
original position due to refraction.
10. Why do stars appear twinkling?
Ans. Stars appear twinkling due to multiple refractions of light through different atmospheric layers with
different refractive indices.
11. Does apparent depth of a tank of water change if viewed obliquely ? If so, does the apparent depth
increase or decrease ?
Ans. Yes, The apparent depth decreases for oblique viewing from its value of normal viewing.

Ans. (i) Refractive index is minimum for vacuum(n=1).
(ii) Refractive index is maximum for Diamond (n=2.42).
13. State Snell’s law of refraction of light ?
Ans. According to Snell’s law , the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence and the sine of the angle of
refraction is constant for a given pair of media. This constant is called refractive index of the second
medium w.r.t. first medium.
Sin i

reflected into denser medium without entering the rarer medium . This phenomenon is called Total inter-
nal reflection.
17. Optical fibre cables are oftenly used in tele-communications. What is the working principle
behind the optical fibre?
Ans. The working principle of optical fibre is “Total internal reflection”.

3. A pencil or stick appear to be bent when placed in a glass of water.
4. When a thick glass slab is placed over some printed letters, the letters appear raised when viewed
through glass slab.
2. What is the physical significance of absolute refractive index ?
Ans. Physical significance of absolute refractive index :
The refractive index of a medium gives the following two informations :
1. The extent of the change in direction that takes place when a light ray propagates through one medium
to another medium is expressed in terms of refractive index.
:: 18 ::
2. The value of refractive index gives information about the direction of bending of refracted ray. It tells
whether the ray will bend towards or away from the normal.
3. The refractive index gives us an idea how fast or how slow light travels in the medium.
4. The speed of light in a medium is low when the refractive index of the medium is high.
5. If the value of refractive index is low then the speed of light in the medium is high.
6. Refractive index ‘n’ means that the speed of light in that medium is nth part of speed of light in vaccum.
3. Optical density is a quantity quite different from mass density. Why ? Give example ?
Ans. Optical density is the ratio of the speed of light in two media , while mass density is the mass per unit
volume. Interestingly, an optically denser medium may have mass density less than an optically rarermedium.

6. During summer noon, why do the trees and houses on the other side of an open ground appear to be
shaking ?
Ans. Open ground becomes very hot during a summer noon. It heats up the air in contact. Convection currents
are set up in air . Light rays passing through this air change their path due to refraction. This gives shaking
appearance to the objects from which these light rays start.
7. When we sit at a camp fire, objects behind the fire are seen swaying. Give reasons for it.
Ans. 1. This happens due to refraction of light when it passes through hot air to cold air.
2. So, we observe the objects behind the fire seen swaying.
8. Explain the twinkling of stars. Why do the planets not show twinkling effect ?
Ans. Twinkling of stars :
The light from stars undergoes refraction continuously before it reaches earth. So the apparent position of
:: 19 ::
the star is slightly different than its actual position. Due to variation in atmospheric conditions, like change
in temperature, density etc., this apparent position keeps on changing. The amount of light entering our
eyes from a particular star increases and decreases randomly with time. Some times , the star appears
brighter and other times, it appears fainter. This gives rise to the twinkling effect of stars.
The planets do not show twinkling effect :
As the planets are much closer to the earth, the amount of light received from them is much greater and the
fluctuations caused in the amount of light due to atmospheric refraction are negligible as compared to the
amount of light received from them.
9. Only the stars near the horizon twinkle while those overhead do not twinkle. Why ?
Ans. Light from the stars near the horizon reaches the earth obliquely through the atmosphere. Its path changes
due to refraction. Frequent atmospheric disturbances change the path of light and cause twinkling of stars.
Light from the stars overhead reaches the earth normally. It does not suffer refraction. There is no change
in tis path. Hence there is no twinkling effect.
10. A diver under water, looks obliquely at a fisherman standing on the bank of a lake. Would the
fisherman look taller or shorter to the diver than what he actually is ?
Ans. The man looks taller to a diver under water. As the fisherman is in air, the light rays travel from rarer to
denser medium. They bend towards the normal and hence appears to come from a larger distance Hence
the fisherman looks taller.
11. Write the necessary conditions for the phenomenon of total internal reflection to take place?
Ans. The necessary conditions for total internal reflection are
i) Light must travel from denser to rarer medium.
ii) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle for the two media.
12. What are the applications of Total internal reflection?
Ans. 1. Brilliance of Diamond.
2. Optical fibers and light pipes.
3. Formation of mirages Etc.,
13. Why does a diamond shine more than a glass piece cut to the same shape?
Ans. Light ray entering the diamond undergoes multiple total internal reflections due to low criticle angle and
high refractive index. But it doesn’t happen with glass due to its high critical angle and low refractive index.
14. What happens to the shining of diamond if it is dipped in a transparent oil ?
Ans. As the critical angle for diamond -oil interface is greater than that for the diamond - air interface, so the
shining of diamond reduces when it is dipped in a transparent oil.
15. The refractive index of diamond is much greater than that of ordinary glass. Is this fact of some use to
a diamond cutter ?

a transparent vessel.
3.While dipping, observing from the top of the vessel, adjust the other straw (second) which is outside the
water until both straws appear to be in a single straight line.

material , it behaves as a concave lens.
17. What is the focal length and power of a rectangular glass slab ?
Ans : Focal length of a glass slab is infinity.
Power of a glass slab is zero.
18. Why is the power of a lens measured as the reciprocal of its focal length ?
Ans : The power of a lens represents its ability to converge or diverge a beam of light. Smaller its focal length,
larger is its bending power. That is why power is expressed as reciprocal of focal length (P = 1/f ).

:: 37 ::
a) From the above table, find the focal length of lens without using lens formula?
b) Which set of observation is incorrect and why ?
c) In which case the size of the object and image will be same ? Give reason for your answer.
Ans.
a) From the observation, it is clear that for u = 15cm, v = 15 cm. This means this value must be equal to
twice of the focal length of the convex lens.
Focal length of convex lens = 15/2 = 7.5 cm.
b) The observation (5) is not correct because if u = 7.5cm i.e., the object is kept at focus so the image
should be at infinity and not at 35cm.
c) For twice the focal length we know that size of object = size of image. So when object is kept at 15cm
the size of object and image are same.
7. State the type of lens used as a magnifying glass. Draw a labelled ray diagram to show that the image of

5. Explain briefly the reason for the blue colur of the sky.
Ans. 1. The scattering of light is responsible for the blue colour of the sky.
2. Our atmosphere contains Nitrogen (N2 ) and Oxygen (O2 ).
3. These molecules act as scattering centers for the scattering of the blue light.
4. So, the sky appears blue in colour.
6. Why sun appears red at sun set or sunrise?
Ans. 1. In morning and evening times, during sunrise and sunset except red light all colours scatter more and
vanish before they reach us.
2. Since scattering of red light is very small and wave length is large, it reaches us. As a result sun
appears red in colour during sunrise and sun set.
:: 45 ::
7. Why sun does not appears red during noon hours ?
Ans. During noon hours, the distance travelled by the sun rays in the atmosphere is less than that compared to
morning and evening hours. Therefore all colours reach our eye without scattering. Hence the sun appears
white during noon hours.

1. How do you appreciate the working of ciliary muscles in the eye ?
Ans. 1. The ciliary muscle to which eye lens is attached helps the eye lens to change its focal length by
changing radius of curvature of eye lens.
2. When the eye is focused on a distant object, the ciliary muscles are relaxed so that the focal length of
eye lens has its maximum value which is equal 2.5cm.
3. When the eye is focussed on a closer object, the ciliary muscles are strained and focal length of eye
decreases such that we see the objects clearly.

3. Behind the cornea, there is place filled with a liquid called aqueous
humour and behind this a crystalline lens which is responsible for the
image formation.
4. Between the aqueous humour and the lens, we have a muscular
diaphragm called ‘iris’ which has a small hole in it called pupil. Iris is
the coloured part that we see in an eye.
5. The pupil appears black because any light falling on it goes into the eye and there is almost no change of
light coming back to the outside. Iris helps in controlling the amount of light entering the eye through
‘pupil’.
:: 49 ::
6. The light that enters the eye forms an image on the retina.
7. The distance between the lens and retina is about 2.5 cm.
8. The ciliary muscle to which eye lens is attached helps the eye lens to change its focal length by
changing the radii of curvature of the eye lens.
9. The ciliary muscles adjust the focal length in such a way that the image is formed on retina and we see the
object clearly. This process of adjusting focal length is called “accommodation of the eye”.
10. The eye-lens forms a real and inverted image of an object on the retina.
11. The retina is a delicate membrane, which contains about 125 million receptors called ‘rods’ and ‘cones’
which receive the light signal. Cones-identify the colour, Rods-identify the intensity of light.
12. These signals are transmitted to the brain through about 1 million optic-nerve fibres. The brain interprets
these signals and finally processes the information regarding the shape, size and colour of the object.
8. Explain the significance of Iris.
Ans. 1. A muscular diaphragm present between aqueous humour and the lens is called iris.
2. It is the colored part we see in an eye.
3. Iris helps in controlling the size of the pupil.Hence it controls amount of light entering the eye through
pupil.
4. Iris enables pupil to act as a “ variable aperture “ for entry of light.
5. In low light conditions it makes the pupil to expand and bright light conditions it makes the pupil to
contract.
9. Explain scattering of light.
Ans. Scattering of Light:
Scattering of light is a complex phenomenon. Atoms or molecules which are exposed to light absorb light
energy and emit some part of the light energy in different directions. This phenomenon is called scattering
of light.
EXPLINATION :
Let us consider that the free atom or free molecule is
somewhere in space as shown in figure . Light of certain Scattered light
Sun light
frequency falls on that atom or molecule. This atom or mol-
ecule responds to the light whenever the size of the atom or
molecule is comparable to the wave length of light. If this Atom
condition is satisfied, the atom absorbs light and vibrates. Due

to these vibrations, the atom re-emits a certain fraction of
absorbed energy in all directions with different intensities. The
re-emitted light is called scattered light and the process of re-emission of light in all directions with
different intensity is called scattering of light. The atoms or molecules are called scattering centre.

ring rises and falls down momentarily. when the DC is Copper
switched off it behaves in the similar way. wire

When the coil is connected across an A.C source we notice that metal ring is levitated on the coil.
Prediction :
i) The metal ring is levitated means the net force on it should be zero according to Newton’s second law.
ii) As AC changes both its magnitude and direction in regular time intervals, the magnetic flux in the coil
also changes in both magnitude and direction.
iii) The levitation of metal ring is possible only when the metal ring behaves like a magnet and should
