Question: Name the part of the electromagnetic spectrum of wavelength 10– 2 m and mention its one application.
Solution:
Spectrum of wavelength 10‒2 m belongs to microwaves. It is used in RADAR.
Question: What is the difference between kilowatt (kW) and kilowatt hour (kWh)?
Solution:
Kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power whereas kilowatt hour (kWh) is a unit of electrical energy.
1 kW = 1000 W and 1 kWh = 3.6 ×106 J.
Question: Name the absorbing material used to control the reaction rate of neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
Solution:
Cadmium.
Question: Where on the surface of the earth is the angle of dip 900.
Solution:
Angle of dip is 900 above Earth’s Magnetic North and South Pole.
Question: What is the focal length and power of a plane glass plate?
Solution:
For a plane glass plate: Focal length = ∞, Power = 0.
Question: Explain the following, giving reasons:
(i) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency.
(ii) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases.
Does this decrease in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the wave?
(iii) In the wave picture of light, intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. What determines the intensity in the photon picture of light?
Solution:
(i) When light enters from one medium to another medium then, only its frequency remains constants whereas its velocity and wavelength changes.
Due to this reason, the reflected light and refracted light both has same frequency and as the incident frequency.
(ii) No, because energy carried by light wave does not depends on speed of the light wave.
(iii) The intensity in the photon picture of light is determined by the number of photons per unit area per unit time.
