Answer» (i) If the value of the resistance R is reduced, the current in the forward biased input circuit increases. The emitter current I_E and the collector current I_C (= I_E – I_B) both increase. Hence, the brightness of the lamp increases. (ii) Due to increase in I_C, the potential drop across lamp L increases and hence the voltmeter reading V increases.

8854.	Write different type of propagation and explain sky wave propagation.
Answer» Types of propagation: (a) Ground wave propagation: (b) Space wave propagation: (c) Sky wave propagation: The propagation of Radiowaves from tranmitting antenna to receiving antenna via reflection from the ionosphere is called sky wave propagation. The ionosphere region consists of ions which extends from a height of 60 km to 300 km. As we go higher in the ionosphere, there is an increase in the free electron density consequently there is decrease in the Refractive Index (μ). Thus, as radiowave travel up in the ionosphere it travels from denser medium to rarer medium. It continuously bends from its path till it suffers total internal reflection to reach back to the Earth.

8858.	Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :1. His heavy bat was a major talking point whenever Sachin Tendulkar battled injuries in his over-twodecade-long career but the iconic cricketer said he was never convinced about giving it up for a lighter one as his timing got affected every time he tried the change. In his autobiography `Playing It My Way', Tendulkar wrote that he was asked several times to try a lighter bat but it never worked for him.2. "I used a pretty heavy bat and I was sometimes encouraged to move to a lighter one. Again, I did try but I never felt comfortable, as my whole bat swing depended on that weight. When I was hitting a drive, I needed the weight to generate the power. It was all to do with the timing," he explains. The alltime leading scorer in the game also offered an interesting take on how to hold the bat. "To me the bat should be an extension of your arm, and if you've reached the stage where it's become an extension of your arm, why do you need to change ? What mattered to me most when I was batting was feeling comfortable. As long as I felt comfortable, it didn't matter where I was playing or who I was playing against. If you make technical adjustments, such as moving to a lighter bat, to cope with different conditions, there's a risk of making yourself feel uncomfortable and of thinking too much about your technique," he says.3. Tendulkar has advised budding batsmen against too much experimentation, saying, "the bat should be an extension of your arm" and there is no need for a change in technique if "you have reached that stage". "People have often commented on my own grip, which is very low down on the handle. It all goes back to when I started playing cricket when I was eleven, with my brother Ajit, who is ten years older. As I didn't have a bat of my own, I had to use Ajit's full-size bat and the only way I could cope with the weight at that age was to hold the bat right at the bottom of the handle," Tendulkar writes. "Some coaches suggested changing my grip, and I did experiment, but it never felt right. I had got used to feeling the end of the handle pressing against the inside of my forearm and if I gripped the bat further up I didn't have that, and batting just didn't feel natural. "That's not to say that my technique didn't change at all, though. Throughout my career, I was always looking to improve and constantly tried new things to cope with different situations."4. Tendulkar said one must try to read the bowler's mind rather than thinking too much about "your own batting". "I've always felt that I've batted best when my mind has been at the bowler's end of the pitch, not at my end. In fact, for both batsmen and bowlers, I've always believed that cricket is played best when your mind is at the opposite end and that problems occur when your mind is stuck at your own end. "For example, if a bowler is thinking too much about bowling no-balls, he's not going to be able to bowl what he wants to bowl. Instead, his mind should be at the batsman's end, focusing on where he's going to pitch the ball, which way he's going to swing it and so on. As a batsman, if I'm not consciously worrying about my footwork or my backlift or my wrist-work, then I know that I'm in the right space, because my mind needs to be at the opposite end, figuring out what the bowler is trying to do. There's no time to think about both ends at the same time," he says.Find out words/phrases from the passage that mean the same as the following.(a) create (para 2)(b) hold (para 3)(c) trying to understand (para 4)

What should be the percentage increase in pressure for 5% decrease in volume?

Answer»

At constant temperature:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ x 95 = 100 x 100

P₁ = 100 x 100/95

P₁ = 105.3

Therefore, pressure will increase by 5.3%

8881.	What is the role of nature and nurture in the development of intelligence?
Answer» There is a general consensus among psychologists that intelligence is a product of complex interaction of heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Heredity can be viewed as something that sets a range within which an individual’s development is actually shaped by the support and opportunities of the environment. Studies have also shown correlation between intelligence of identical twins reared together , identical twins reared apart fraternal twins reared together and siblings reared together and sibling reared apart With respect to the role of environment, studies have reported that as children grow in age, their intelligence level tends to move closer to their adoptive parents. Children from disadvantaged homes adopted into families of higher socio-economic status exhibit a large increase in their intelligence scores. There is evidence that environmental deprivation lowers intelligence while rich nutrition, good family background and quality schooling increases intelligence. Intelligence is a product of heredity and environmen.
