Read the following passage carefully. Raman was equally delighted. “Excellent news,” he said, smiling at the visitor and then he was lost in thought. “But…. look here, Krishnan,” he said turning to the young man, “if this. Compton Effect is true of X-rays, it must be true of light too.” A few years earlier, A.H.Compton had shown that the nature of X-rays changes when passed through matter. The change was dependent on the kind of matter. This effect was called the ‘Compton Effect.’ Now answer the following questions: 1) Why was Raman equally delighted? 2) What was the ‘Excellent news’? 3) “He was lost in thoughts” – What was he thinking? 4) What was the assumption made by C.V. Raman? 5) What do you mean by ‘Compton Effect’? 6) What did A.H. Compton show? 7) Does the nature of X-rays change in the same way when pass through all kinds matter?8) “It must be true of light too” – What does ‘it’ refer to? 9) If A.H. Compton had not discovered the Compton Effect, do you think Raman would have discovered the ‘Raman Effect’? 10) What does the change of nature of X-rays depend on? |
|
Answer» 1) “If the Compton Effect of X-rays is true. It must be true of light too.” It made C.V. Raman equally delighted. 2) The news that “Professor Compton has won the Nobel Prize” was excellent. 3) He was thinking that, if the Compton Effect of X-rays is true, it must be true of light too. 4) If Compton Effect is true of X-rays, it must be true of light too. ’ 5) The nature of X-rays changes when passed through matter. The matter was dependent on the kind of matter. The effect was known as ‘The Compton Effect”. 6) A.H. Compton showed that the nature of X- rays changes when passed through matter. 7) No. The nature of X-rays changes dependent on the kind of matter. 8) The assumption that the nature of light changes when it passes through matter. 9) From the passage we can understand that C.V. Raman had already formulated his theory and he was about to announce his ‘Raman Effect’. But the Compton Effect give him confidence. Hence I can say if Compton Effect had not been discovered C.V. Raman would have discovered his ‘Raman Effect’. 10) The nature of X-rays change when it passes through matter depending on the kind of matter. |

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow :A for Allergy1. Like bad news and common cold, allergies can pop up when least expected. I suddenly developed an allergy to crocin (paracetamol) some years ago after having it all my life to treat everything, from headache to fever to toothache.2. A stuffed or drippy nose, frequent sneezing, an itchy throat, rashes, sinus, ear pain, difficulty in breathing, stomach cramps, itchiness, red or watery eyes are some of the common symptoms of an allergic reaction. Pollen, dust, polluted outdoor air, and indoor pollutants, such as dust mites, animal dander, cigarette smoke, and mould are among the common environmental pollutants, while other triggers include medicines, paint, and chemicals in cleaners and cosmetics, such as hair colour and skin creams. Among foods, eight allergens account for almost 90% of food allergies : milk, soy, wheat, egg, peanut, tree nuts, fish and shellfish.3. Most of us wrongly believe that people with allergies are either born with them or develop them in early childhood. An allergy can develop at any time in your life and its prevalence among adults is rising. While most people who develop allergies as adults have experienced some allergic reaction - either to the same or an unrelated trigger before - a few have no history of sensitivity.4. In an acute immune reaction, the allergy trigger may be one, but the symptom is usually caused by a combination of factors. Stress, a sterile environment that prevents the body from developing immunity and lifestyle-induced changes in the body's hormonal balance are thought to be some triggers. This has been borne out by clinical evidence that women are more likely to develop allergies at puberty, after pregnancy, and at menopause, all pointing to hormonal causes.5. Avoiding the allergy trigger and taking anti-allergy medication as soon as you can, after exposure to an allergen is the best possible protection. Since pollen levels generally peak in the morning, people with airway sensitivity and asthma should postpone outdoor exercises to later in the day or stick to exercising indoors, as deeper and more rapid breathing induced by aerobic exercise causes more pollen and dust being inhaled, which can wreck your airways and lungs. Since air pollutants tend to cling to clothes and hair, changing your clothes when you come home or washing your hair before going to bed, lowers exposure.1. What are among the common environmental pollutants?a. Tree nuts, peanuts, milk, cottage cheese and other dairy products are among the common environmental pollutantsb. Wood bark, sand, dew, citric acid and flannel are among the common environmental pollutants.c. Rose water, peanuts, dust, and maggots are among the common environmental pollutants.d. Pollen, dust, polluted outdoor air and indoor pollutants such as dust mites, animal dander, cigarette smoke and mould are among the common environmental pollutants.2. What is an acute immune reaction?a. In an acute immune reaction the allergy trigger may be one but the symptom is usually caused by a combination of factors.b. In an acute immune reaction the allergy trigger is limited to being either a food item or any type of animal fur.c. In an acute immune reaction the allergy trigger always results in fatal consequences.d. In an acute immune reaction the allergy trigger may be caused by a combination of factors but the symptom is usually one.3. How can you prevent/treat yourself from getting allergies?a. People with asthma should opt for morning exercise and as air pollutants tend to cling to clothes and hair, changing clothes on returning home and washing hair before going to bed both lower the exposure to allergies.b. People with airway sensitivity should only do exercise at dawn and as air pollutants tend to cling to hair, not washing hair before going to bed both lower the exposure to allergies.c. People with airway sensitivity and asthma should avoid morning exercise and as air pollutants tend to cling to clothes and hair, changing clothes on returning home and washing hair before going to bed both lower the exposure to allergies.d. People with food allergies should avoid morning exercise and as food particles tend to cling to clothes and hair, changing clothes on returning home and washing hair before going to bed both lower the exposure to allergies.4. Choose the correct option :The synonym of 'evidence of disease or any physical disturbance' as given in paragraph 2 is ____.a. allergyb. reactionc. symptomd. cramp5. Choose the correct option :The synonym of 'free from bacteria or other living microorganisms' as given in paragraph 4 is ____.a. symptomb. sterilec. triggerd. rapid6.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow :Child Marriage : An Evil1. Child marriages are rampant in North India. They continue to blight the lives of people. Children bound by marriage are victims of blind customs and superstitions, prevalent in rural areas and certain urban concentrations among the weakest socio-economic groups. Nothing seems to stop this anti-social practice despite the Child Marriage ”ct passed as early as in 1929, which makes child marriage a grave offence.2. Why do child marriages take place and what can be done to prevent them from happening? The evil thrives because of illiteracy and other related causes - the most important of which is the anxiety of parents to marry off their daughters at the earliest. In many high illiteracy states, like Rajasthan, the practice of child marriage is in vogue. Akha Teej is D-day for the parents of minor girls, since, on that day, the parents seek salvation from the anxiety of girls growing up in their midst.3. A child marriage is less likely to take place if the parents are literate or at least the father is. He is, then, aware of the legal minimum age for marriage and the health hazards his daughter will face by an early marriage. If the mother, otherwise literate, has been exposed to the importance of family planning, she is also less likely to solemnise her daughter’s wedding before the legal minimum age.4. Among the other reasons that parents give away young daughters in marriage is the need, felt especially by families with more than one daughter, to keep wedding expenses down. By marrying two daughters simultaneously, parents save on expenses. Parental anxiety about grown-up (14 years and above) daughters going astray, forces the less educated to give away their female children in marriage.5. The Child Marriage Restraint Act in 1978, raised the minimum age of marriage for girls from 15 to 18 years and for boys from 18 to 21 years. The committee, on the status of women, in its report In 1974, had recommended that all offences under the Child Marriage Restraint Act should be made cognizable and special officers be appointed to enforce the law.6. The crux of the problem is that the role of a girl-child in traditional rural areas is circumscribed around marriage and motherhood.1. What are the reasons for child marriage in India?a. Child marriages take place to ensure that the family line continues without any interruptions. This is especially true for families that own land.b. Child marriages take place to ensure that the daughters are well taken care of in their old age, and do not have to worry about food or shelter.c. Child marriages take place because parents are anxious to marry off their daughters at the earliest and to keep the wedding expenses down.d. Child marriages take place so that the parents can plan and enjoy their daughter’s wedding before they are too old to do so.2. What are the recommendations of the committee on the status of women?a. The committee on the status of women recommended that all offences under the Child Marriage Restraint Act should be made punishable and special courts be appointed to enforce the law.b. The committee on the status of women recommended that all offences under the Female Abuse Restraint Act should be made cognizable and special officers be appointed to enforce the law.c. The committee on the status of women recommended that all offences under the Female Abuse Restraint Act should be made non cognizable and special courts be appointed to enforce the law.d. The committee on the status of women recommended that all offences under the Child Marriage Restraint Act should be made cognizable and special officers be appointed to enforce the law.3. What change did the Child Marriage Restraint Act 1978, bring about in the minimum legal age for marriage?a. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1978 changed the minimum legal age for marriage for females from 15 to 18 and for males from 18 to 21.b. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1978 changed the minimum legal age for marriage for females from 15 to 18 and for males from 21 to 18.c. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1978 changed the minimum legal age for marriage for females from 18 to 15 and for males from 18 to 21.d. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1978 changed the minimum legal age for marriage for females from 15 to 19 and for males from 18 to 25.4. What is the importance of Akha Teej for the parents of minor girls in Rajasthan?a.
