Consider the following statements about Solar Eclipse1. It is a natural event that takes place on Earth when the Earth moves in its orbit between Moon and the Sun2. It happens at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction with each other.Which of the above statements is/are correct?1. 1 only2. 2 only3. Both 1 and 24. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

In News

  • The total solar eclipse on December 14, Monday will be the last eclipse of the year.
    • Apart from Chile and Argentina, people living in southern parts of South America, south-west Africa, and Antarctica will be able to witness a partial solar eclipse.

  • What is a Solar Eclipse?
    • It is a natural event that takes place on Earth when the Moon moves in its orbit between Earth and the Sun (this is also known as an occultation). Hence, Statement 1 is NOT correct.
      • It happens at New Moon when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction with each other. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
      • During an eclipse, the Moon’s shadow (which is divided into two parts: the dark umbra and the lighter penumbra) moves across Earth’s surface.
  • Why isn’t there a solar eclipse every month?
    • If the Moon was only slightly closer to Earth and orbited in the same plane and its orbit was circular, we would see eclipses each month. The lunar orbit is elliptical and tilted with respect to Earth’s orbit, so we can only see up to 5 eclipses per year.
    • Depending on the geometry of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, the Sun can be totally blocked, or it can be partially blocked.

The earth's magnetic field at a certain point is \( 7.0 \times \) \( 10^{-5} T \). This field is to be balanced by a magnetic field at the centre of a circular current carrying coil of radius \( 5 cm \) by suitably orienting it. If the coil has 100 turns then the required current (up to nearest integer) is \( X \) \( mA \). Find \( X \).

Answer»

Magnetic induction due to circular coil at centre

\(B =\frac{\mu_0NI}{2R}\)

Then 

\(I = \frac{B.2R}{\mu_0N}\)

\(I = \frac{7\times 10^{-5}\times 2\times 0.05}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 100}\)

\(I = \frac{7\times 10^{-5}\times 2\times 0.05}{4\times 3.14 \times 10^{-7} \times 100}\)

\(I = \frac{0.7\times 10^{-5}}{12.56\times 10^{-5}}\)

\(I = 0.055\)

\(I = 55\times 10^{-3} A\)

\(I = 55 mA\) 

Then 

\(X = 55\)

a1 , a2 , a3 ,..., a18, 77

are in AP i.e. 1, 5, 9, 13, ..., 77.

Hence a1 + a2 + a3 +...+ a18 = 5 + 9 + 13 +...18 terms 

= 702

Find the equation of the plane passing through the point (0, 7, -7) and containing the line (x + 1)/-3 = (y - 3)/2 = (z + 2)/1.

Answer»

Any plane passing through (0, 7, -7) is a (x - 0) + b(y - 7) + c(z + 7) = 0 ...(i)

If (i) contains the give line then it must pass through the point (-1, 3, -2) and must be parallel to the given line.

If (i) passes through (-1, 3, -2) then

a(-1 - 0) + b(3 - 7) + c(-2 + 7) = 0  

a + 4b - 5c = 0 ...(ii) 

If (i) is parallel to the given line then, (-3)a + 2b + 1.c = 0 

-3a + 2b + c = 0 ...(iii)  

By cross multiplication of (ii) and (iii)

we get a/(4 + 10) = b/(15 - 1) = c/(2 + 12)

a/14 = b/14 = c/14 

a/1 = b/1 = c/1 = k

a = k, b = k, c = k 

Putting a = k, b = k and c = k in (i), we get the required equation of the plane as k(x - 1) + k(y - 7) + k(z - 7) = 0 

x + (y - 7) + (z + 7) = 0 

x + y + z = 0

In the decomposition of `H_2O_2` at 300 K, the energy of activation was found to be `18 kcal//"mol"` white it decreases to `6 kcal//"mol"` when the decomposition was carried out in the presence of a catalyst at 300 K.How many (Give you answer by multiplying `10^7`)

Answer» Correct Answer - 48 times
Decomposition of `H_2O_2` order (Rxn)`H_2O_2toH_2OtoH_2O+1/2O_2`
Then we know `K=Ae(-Ea)/(RT)`
For uncatalysed Rxn
`K_1=Ae(-Ea)/(RT) " " [T=300 K , R=2]`
`K=Ae(-18xx10^3)/(2xx300)`..(i)
and for catalysed Rxn `K_2=Ae(-6xx10^3)/(2xx300)`...(ii)
Equation (2)/(1)
`K_2/K_1=e((18-6)xx10^3)/(2xx300)`
`K_2/K_1=e^20`
`K_2/K_1=4.85xx10^8`
Then catalysed reaction is `4.85xx10^8` times faster than uncatalysed Rxn.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`xto` product (zero order)
Till the concentration of X changes from `X_0` to `X_0/2` , it is zero order with rate constant k.
Time taken for concentration to becomes `X_0/2=(t_(1//2)` for zero order )=`X_0/(2k)`
After reaching `X_0/2` , the reaction becomes first order
`Xto`product (I order)
`X_0/2underset((ln2)/k)toX_0/4underset((ln2)/k)toX_0/8underset((ln2)/k)toX_0/16implies ` total time of reach `X_0/16` from `X_0` is `=X_0/(2k)+(3ln2)/k`

There are many types of heat treating processes available to steel. The most common are ____________ quenching, and tempering.(a) dealing(b) healing(c) annealing(d) milling

Answer» The correct option is (c) annealing

Explanation: Annealing is the process of heating the steel to a sufficiently high temperature to relieve local internal stresses. It does not create a general softening of the product but only locally relieves strains and stresses locked up within the material. Annealing goes through three phases: recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth. The temperature required to anneal a particular steel depends on the type of annealing to be achieved and the alloying constituents.
