Marking Scheme – PHYSICS (SUBJECT CODE – 042)
(PAPER CODE – 55/1/3)

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 totaled 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_55/1/3_Physics # Page-1
10. A full scale of marks 0-35 (example 0-04 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 04 answer books per day in main subjects and 03answer books
per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines). o foiv iv ii si s hT
r nap n vteeueav uin iase r hT ba v ihiv ii ba v ihi dud r.

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 totaling 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 totaling on the title page.
 Wrong totaling 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 totaling 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 totaled 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.

Difference between intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductor 1
Reason for Electrical neutrality 1
Intrinsic semiconductors are pure semiconductors while extrinsic 1
semiconductors are doped with either trivalent or pentavalent impurities.

Extrinsic semiconductor maintains an overall charge neutrality as the charge of

additional charge carriers is just equal and opposite to that of the ionised cores 1
in the lattice. 2

Definition of distance of closest approach 1½
Effect on distance of closest approach due to change in K.E. 1½

The minimum distance up to which an alpha particle travel along the central 1½
line of the nucleus before it rebounds is called distance of closest approach.

Alternatively

An alpha particle travelling directly towards the centre of a nucleus slows down
as it approaches the nucleus due to repulsive force. At a distance r0 from the
nucleus, the α- particle stops and its total kinetic energy converts into
electrostatic potential energy. This distance r0 is called distance of closest
approach.

Uses ½+½
i) Refraction arises through interaction of incident light with the atomic
constituents of matter. Atoms may be viewed as oscillators which take up the
frequency of the external agency causing forced oscillations. Thus the
frequency of refracted light equals the frequency of incident light. 1
Alternatively
Frequency is the characteristic of the source of light. So it remains unaffected.

Statement of working principle of LED 1
Advantages ½+½
Disadvantages ½+½

When the diode is forward biased, electrons are sent from n region to p region
and holes are sent from p region to n region. At the junction the concentration 1
of minority carriers increases. Thus at the junction, the excess minority carriers
recombine with majority carriers and energy is released in the form of photons.

Advantages (any two):

(i) Low operational voltage ½+½
(ii) Less power consumption
(iii) Fast action
(iv) Long life and ruggedness

Disadvantages (any two) :

½+½
(i) High cost
(ii) Can get damaged due to overheating
(iii) Excess of voltage or current can damage LED 3

(Note- Award 1 mark , if disadvantages are not given)
