(b) Free vibrations : When a body is disturbed from its mean position and left free, it vibrates with its natural frequency which is the characteristic of the body. These vibrations of the body are said to be free vibrations. Forced vibration : When a body is set into vibrations with the help of a strong periodic force and the body vibrates with the frequency of the periodic force, then the phenomenon is said to be forced vibration. (c) The function of wooden box in a sonometer is to increase the sound intensity by forced vibrations. It decreases the duration of emission of sound energy. (d) Fire is extinguished by the vaporization of water which lowers the temperature of the burning body. Further, the water vapour envelops the body keeping oxygen away.

Putting the values of Cw and CFe , we have Qw 1 cal g 1 C 1 = =9 Q Fe 0.11 cal g 1 C 1 Hence, for the same rise in temperature, water requires about 9 times more heat than iron. (b) Specific latent heat of fusion of a solid substance is defined as the amount of heat energy required to change a unit mass of a substance at its melting point from solid to liquid state without any change in temperature.

Heat lost by 200 g of water in cooling from 30 C to T C = 200 1 (30 T) = 200 (30 T) cal This heat is used by 30 g of ice in getting just completely melted and in raising the temperature of melted water to T C.

In case of double convex lens, the two surfaces may have any values for the two radii of curvature of the two surfaces, while in bi-convex lens, the radii of curvature of the two surface has the same value. Thus, every bi-convex is a double convex lens, but every double convex lens is not a bi-convex. (e) The splitting of white light into its seven constituent colours is called dispersion of light. Answer 3. (a) For hearing echoes, there should be atleast a distance of 17 m between the source of sound and the body from which sound is reflected. In small rooms, this is not the case.

Due to low melting point, the fuse wire melts and hence, breaks the circuit. R Answer 4. (a) Eddy currents, which gets generated within the core of the transformer, are undesirable since they result in wear and tear of the transformer and also in loss of energy. So these have to be minimised. If the core is laminated with insulation in between, the eddy currents are likely to be terminated, thus, saving some amount of energy.

(ii) The surface area and material of the surface. SECTION - II (40 MARKS) Answer 5. (a) (i) If the body is moving along a straight line with a uniform speed, no force acts on it because there is no acceleration. However, for a body moving in a circular path with uniform speed experiences a force called the centripetal force. This force only changes the direction of motion. (ii) No net force acts on such a body because there is no acceleration. (b) A body is said to be in equilibrium under the action of a number of forces, if the forces are not able to produce any change in the state of rest or of uniform motion or uniform rotation. For a body to be in equilibrium, the following conditions must be satisfied : (i) Vector sum of all the forces acting on the body must be zero, i.e., F = 0.

Out of these images, the second image is the brightest while others are of diminishing brightness. When a ray of light AB falls on the surface LM of the mirror, a small Eye part of light is reflected in the direction of BP, forming a faint P image of A, while a larger part of light is refracted along BB Q inside the glass and then strongly reflects as B C and then gets R S refracted along CQ in air and forms a virtual image A2, which is A the brightest image because it is due to light suffering a strong B E C D reflection. The reflected ray further keeps on forming multiple M L images of gradually decreasing brightness. P N A1 B C D A2 A3 Answer 7. A4 (a) A A F B B O Concave Lens AB = Object, A B = Image (b) In a prism, refraction of light takes place at two slant surfaces. The dispersion of white light occurs at the first surface of prism where its constituent colours are deviated through different angles. At the second surface, these split colours suffer only refraction and they get further separated. But in a rectangular glass block, the refraction of light takes place at the two parallel surfaces. At the first surface, although the white light splits into its constituent colours on refraction, but these split colours on suffering refraction at the second surface emerge out in the form of a parallel beam, which give an impression of white light.

The thicker wire would have a lower resistance than the thin wire. It will, therefore, produce less heat for a given current. It can, therefore, carry a much larger current through it before melting down. Answer 9. (a) Construction : A step-up transformer consists of two coil, namely primary and secondary coil. The number of turns in secondary coil must be more than primary coil. These coils are wound over a laminated core. This is made by taking thin rectangular sheets made by soft iron and dipping them in insulating point. These insulated sheets are stacked together to form a rectangular frame. This is known as laminated core of transformer. Secondary winding Primary winding Laminated core Working : The A.C. source which is connected to the primary coil produces a varying current to flow through this coil. This, therefore, produce a varying magnetic field whose lines of force pass through the secondary coil. Because the magnetic field produced is a varying one, the flux linked with the secondary coil is a changing one. Hence, an induced emf is produced in the secondary. The emf induced in the secondary is directly proportional to the number of turns in the secondary.

Non-conservative forces are those forces for which the work done is dependent of the path connecting the two points. (b) This is so because near the hinge, the distance of the point of application of force from the axis of rotation becomes negligible, so the force applied increases.

This A.C. current will change the polarities of the magnet rapidly. This will ultimately result in the loss of magnetic property of magnet. (b) The functioning of a transformer depends upon the principle of mutual induction. It is used to increase the alternating voltage. (c) Evaporation of water from the leaves is called transpiration. Transpiration helps plants to keep cool. During summer, when the temperature is high, a plant must transpire more to keep itself cool. More transpiration requires more leaves.

(a) It works on the principle that when a coil rotates in a uniform magnetic field, a current is induced in the coil. Working : Let the coil abcd , initially in the horizontal position, be rotated anticlockwise i.e., the arm ab moves downwards and arm cd upwards. Due to the motion of the coil in the magnetic field, induced current is produced in the coil from d to c in arm cd and b to a in arm ab, according to Fleming s right hand rule. After half rotation, the arms of the coil interchange their positions. Arm ab comes to the right and arm cd to the left. During the second half of the rotation, current flows from a to b in the arm ab. The two half rings (R1 and R2) rotate with the coil and touch the two carbon brushes (B1 and B2) one by one. As a result, each carbon brush continues to have the same polarity (+ or ). Brush B2 always remain positive (+) and brush B1 remains negative ( ).

SECTION - II (40 MARKS) Answer 5. (a) When a force acts on a body capable of rotation, it causes a rotation of the body either in the clockwise direction or anticlockwise direction. According to the principle of moments, when a number of forces act on body free to rotate about an axis and if no rotation occurs, then the sum of the clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments. To illustrate the principle, let us consider a uniform rod AB of weight W, to be in equilibrium under the action of a number of forces, F1, F2, F3 and weight W acting at points D, E, B and C respectively, then according to the principle of moments.

So, to keep the amplitude of the vibrations same, an external periodic force has to be applied. The vibrations which take place under the influence of external periodic force are called forced vibrations. For example, When a tuning fork is struck against a rubber pad and stem is placed against the top of the table, a loud sound is heard because the table is set into forced vibrations and vibrates with frequency of the applied periodic force of the tuning fork. Resonance : It is a special case of forced vibrations in which the frequency of the applied periodic force coincides with the natural frequency of vibrations of the body. This case of forced vibrations is known as the resonance. The body vibrates with a large amplitude and a loud sound is heard. For example, When a troop crosses a suspension bridge, the soldiers are asked to break steps because in steps, the frequency of the movement of soldiers becomes exactly equal to the frequency of the suspension bridge. Therefore, due to resonance, the bridge starts vibrating with a larger amplitude and it may even collapse.

The copper vessel which is generally used in such measurement is called calorimeter. When a hot body is mixed or kept in contact with a cold body, there is a transfer of heat from the body at a higher temperature to the body at lower temperature till both the bodies attain the same temperature, i.e., heat lost by the hot body is equal to the heat gained by the cold body provided there is no heat loss to the surrounding. This principle of calorimetry is based on the law of conservation of energy. Heat lost by hot body = Heat gained by the cold body. Answer 10.

X Real depth w Apparent depth OC = Real depth O C = Apparent depth a (a) a C b = B Y i r O i Coin O (b) Mirage is an optical illusion caused due to total internal reflection of light in sandy deserts or in some extended surface like a black tarred road in very hot weather. In hot summer days, sandy land becomes very hot during the day time. The air in contact with the ground becomes hot and its density is reduced whereas the density of air at higher level remains unaffected. Therefore, the layers of air near the ground are warmer than the air at the upper level. Thus, the successive upper layers are denser than those below them. When the rays of light from the top of a tree travels from a denser to a rarer layer, it bends away from a normal and thereby at a stage the angle of incidence becomes greater than critical angle, the ray suffer total internal reflection and reach the eyes of the observer. Observer sees an inverted image of the trees and concludes that there is a water near tree.
