SECTION C

12. The British physicist Thomas Young explained the interference of light
using the principle of superposition of waves. He observed the interference
pattern on the screen, in his experimental set-
double slit experiment. The two slits S1 and S2 were illuminated by light
from a slit S. The interference pattern consists of dark and bright bands of
light. Such bands are called fringes. The distance between two consecutive
bright and dark fringes is called fringe width.
(a) If the screen is moved closer to the plane of slits S1 and S2, then
the fringe width :
(i) will decrease, but the intensity of bright fringe remains the
same.
(ii) will increase, but the intensity of bright fringe decreases.
(iii) will decrease, but the intensity of bright fringe increases.
(iv) and the intensity both remain the same.

Senior Secondary School Term II Examination, 2022
Marking Scheme – PHYSICS (SUBJECT CODE — 042)
(PAPER CODE — 55/2/1)

General Instructions: -

1. You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious
problems which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching
profession. To avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must
read and understand the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.

2. “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the

examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to
public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect
the life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to
anyone, publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may
invite action under IPC.”

3. Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not
be done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while
evaluating, answers which are based on latest information or knowledge and/or are
innovative, they may be assessed for their correctness otherwise and marks be
awarded to them. In class-X, while evaluating two competency based questions,
please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not from marking
scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, marks should be
awarded.

4. The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each
evaluator on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the
instructions given in the Marking Scheme. The remaining answer books meant for
evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the
marking of individual evaluators.

5. Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer ‘X’ be marked.
Evaluators will not put right kind of mark while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.

6. If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written in the
left-hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.

7. If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

8. If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more
marks should be retained and the other answer scored out.

9. No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only
once.

042_55/2/1_Physics # Page-1
10. A full scale of marks _35_(example 0-40 marks as given in Question Paper) has to be
used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.

11. Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e. 8 hours
every day and evaluate 30 answer books per day in main subjects and 35 answer books
per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the
reduced syllabus and number of questions in question paper.

12. Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the
Examiner in the past:-
 Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
 Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
 Wrong totalling of marks awarded on a reply.
 Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
 Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
 Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
 Wrong grand total.
 Marks in words and figures not tallying.
 Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
 Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)
 Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.

13. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should
be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.

14. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totalling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the
evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all
concerned, it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and
judiciously.

15. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the Guidelines for
spot Evaluation before starting the actual evaluation.

16. Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over
to the title page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.

17. The Board permits candidates to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request in an
RTI application and also separately as a part of the re-evaluation process on payment of
the processing charges.

Processes ½+½ +½
Generation of e.m.f. ½
The three basic processes for generation of e.m.f. by a solar cell are:
(i) Generation of e-h pairs due to light (with h >Eg) close to the ½
junction.
(ii) Separation of e  s and holes due to electric field of the depletion ½
region.
(iii) Collection : e  reaching the n-side are collected by the front contact
& holes reaching p-side are collected by back contact. ½
Thus, p-side becomes positive and n-side becomes negative giving rise to ½
photo voltage. 2

Explanation of working 1
Circuit Diagram of full wave rectifier 1
Input & Output Waveform ½+½

Let input voltage at A w.r.t. the centre tap at any instant is positive, then voltage
at B will be negative. So, diode D1 gets forwarded biased & D2 gets reverse
biased. Hence output current is obtained. When voltage at A becomes –ve ; then 1
voltage at B would be + ve , hence D1, gets reverse biased & D2 gets forwarded
biased . So output current is again obtained as shown in the figure.

(Note: If the student takes inverted input waveform full credit to be given. )
