Question 8.15: Answer the following questions: (a) Long distance radio broadcasts use short-wave bands. Why? (b) It is necessary to use satellites for long distance TV transmission. Why? (c) Optical and radio telescopes are built on the ground but X-ray astronomy is possible only from satellites orbiting the earth. Why? (d) The small ozone layer on top of the stratosphere is crucial for human survival. Why? (e) If the earth did not have an atmosphere, would its average surface temperature be higher or lower than what it is now? (f) Some scientists have predicted that a global nuclear war on the earth would be followed by a severe ‘nuclear winter’ with a devastating effect on life on earth. What might be the basis of this prediction?Class 12 - Physics - Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic Waves Page-287 |

Answer» so , short waves are suitable for long distance radio broadcast. (b) yes , it is necessary to use satellite for long distance TV transmission. actually very high frequency (VHF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) electromagnetic waves used in TV transmission . after frequency modulation do not reflect from ionosphere and can only be transmitted straight from antenna.so, the range is highly limited . in order to SEND the transmission for long distances , satellite is used. (c) atmosphere absorb X-rays , while visible and radiowaves can penetrate through it. hence, optical telescope can work on the ground but X-ray astronomical telescope only work above Atmosphere, hence installed on satellite orbiting AROUND the earth. (d) The thin ozone layer absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiations , gamma rays, cosmic rays etc. all these high energy radiations can cause damage to the living cells. thus, the thin ozone layer on the top of the stratosphere is crucial for human SURVIVAL. (e) in the absence of atmosphere, the day temperature can rise to many fold and temperature at night will be much below 0°C . although the average temperature will be reduced in the absence of green house effect. (f) the thick clouds produced by global nuclear war will prevent solar radiation to reach down across the globe . this would cause severe 'nuclear Winter' |

Two persons each of mass m are standing at the two extremes of a railroad car of mass M resting on a smooth track (figure 9-E10). The person on left jumps to the left with a horizontal speed u with respect to the state of the car before the jump. Thereafter, the other person jumps to the right, again with the same horizontal speed u with respect to the state of the car before his jump. Find the velocity of the car after both the persons have jumped off. |
|
Answer» Solution: There will be TWO cases. CASE - 1 Let the velocity of the railroad car with RESPECT to earth is V after jump of left man. 0 = - mu + (M + m) VV = mu / (M + m) towards right. CASE - 2 When man on right jumps , the velocity of it with respect to car is u. 0 = mu - Mv'v' = mu/Mv' is the change in velocity of platform when platform is taken as reference and we ASSUMED car to be at rest. Therefore , net velocity towards left i.e. velocity of car with respect to earth = mv/M - mv/(M + m)= (MMU + m²v - Mmu) / M(M + m)= m²v / M(M + m) Hope it helps!

a balloon is moving upwards with a speed of 5m/s when it is height 98m.a packet dropped from it.what is velocity of packet when it strikes the ground? |
|
Answer» When the packet FALLS from the BALLOON it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s. The ACCELERATION is the acceleration due to GRAVITY which is 10m/s² S = 98m We will use the following equation of motion : V² = U² + 2gs V² = 25 + 2 × 10 × 98 V² = 1985 V = 44.55 m/s |

the near point of a person suffering from hypermetropia is 75cm calculate thefocal length and power of lens required to enable him to read news paper which is kept at 25cm from the eye? |
|
Answer» Answer: Explanation: Given :- u = - 25 cm v = - 75 cm To Find :- f = ?? P = ?? Solution :- Using, 1/v - 1/u = 1/f we get ⇒ 1/- 75 - 1/- 25 = 1/f ⇒ 1/- 75 + 1/25 = 1/f ⇒ 2/75 = 1/f ⇒ f = 75/2 ⇒ f = 37.5 cm Hence, the focal length is 37.5 cm. Now, P = 100/37.5 cm ⇒ P = 2.6 D Hence, the power of lens REQUIRED to enable him to read NEWS PAPER is 2.6 D. |

Sign convention of real and virtual images I .e of Hi , v , m for mirror or lens |
|
Answer» Note :
Lens formula :1 / f = 1 / v - 1 / u Concave lens :f = negative u = negative v = negative Convex lensf = positive u = negative v = positive for real image , v = negative for virtual image . The OPTICAL centre is CHOSEN as the origin of the COORDINATE system. With respect to optical centre : The PART which are above are positive, below negative. The part which are right are positive while left is negative. This is just like the normal x-axis and y-axis in the co-ordinate system . |

A man is standing against a wall such that his right shoulder and right leg are in contact with the surface of the wall along his height. Can he raise his left leg at this position without moving his body away from the wall? Why? Explain. |
|
Answer» FINAL Answer : => For stable position /Proper Balancing : Our Line of Centre of Gravity must TRY to intersect the Base Support (here area on which our foot is PLACED) => When we try to with our Right shoulder and right LEG in contact with the WALL, and trying to lift our left leg up then our line of Centre of gravity moves away from the base support. This makes us in unstable position, unless we move our body away from the wall. |
