NCERT VIII - Sciences Give reasons. (c) Paper by itself catches fire easily whereas a piece of paper wrapped around an aluminium pipe does not.

Answer»

n temperature of paper is very low. When we try to ignite a paper, all the heat is absorbed by the paper and when it reaches its ignition temperature, it catches fire.But when the paper is wrapped around a ALUMINIUM PIPE, aluminium being a GOOD conductor of heat, absorbs most of the heat and it takes more time for paper to reach the ignition temperature. So it doesn't catch fire easily.

while considering the motion of a sphere (rotational motion), do we measure all motion taking the instantaneous axis of rotation as reference( in general, when axis not mentioned which to be taken). in such cases, the moment of inertia is taken 2/5MR^2 or (2/5MR^2 + MR^2)?

Answer» SPHERE is ROTATING about its center in any direction and it is not rolling or moving in x, y or z directions, then the moment of inertia = 2/5 * M R²It does not matter if its rotating about a fixed axis or changing axis.Similarly, if the sphere is rolling on a planar surface without slipping and without friction, then the moment of inertia is =  2/5 * M R² + M R².It does not matter if the sphere is rolling in varying directions.  If the sphere is rolling on a planar surface, then V = R ω = velocity of center of mass.Even if axis is MENTIONED or not mentioned, when the sphere is not fixed and is symmetrical about any diameter or axis, then the above two formulas are good and valid.

A soap film(n=1.33) in air is 320nm thick.if it is illuminated with white light at normal incidence,what colour will it appear to be in reflected light???

Answer»

ht ray's wavelength :  380 nm  to  760 nm  for visible light (white rays). μ_film = 1.33 thickness of film = d = 320 nm θ1 = 0°  = angle of incidence at the top layer of film μ_air = 1 θ2 = angle of REFRACTION into the soap film = angle of reflection at the film-air interface.    μ_air Sin θ1  = μ_film  Sin θ2          --- (1)   There is a phase shift of 180 DEG. when light rays are reflected at the top surface of the film, as μ_air < μ_film.  There is no phase shift when rays are reflected at the  film-to-air interface.  The OPD (optical path difference) is:         2 μ_film  d  Cos θ2  = (m - 1/2) λ   for constructive interference.    --(2)   2 μ_film  d  Cos θ2  = m λ    for destructive interference.    -- (3)                   here m = an integer.  As θ1 = 0°,  θ2 = 0°.      2 * 1.33 * 320 nm  = Optical path difference OPD                   = 661.12  nm   In equations  (2) and (3),  the RHS is λ/2, λ, 3λ/2 ...  We have the range of white light wavelengths mentioned above.  661.12 = λ for red color  satisfies equation  (3).  So red color is destroyed.  661.12 = 1.5 λ for  λ = 440.7 nm satisfies equation (4),   ie., violet color is constructively added.

Collect the information about working of geyser and prepare a report

Answer»

Geysers  (geography / Physics)       A geyser is a water spring which discharges (erupts) water (along with dirt) turbulently (violently) now and then steam comes out steadily.  The geothermal energy and expansion of vapour at low pressures and high TEMPERATURES  causes the geysers.       The formation of geysers is a hydro-geological phenomenon under certain conditions.  They are nearby volcanoes and due to the presence of magma.    The small holes in Earth are called “surface vents”.     There are fractures, fissures, porous spaces, cavities in side Earth’s crust.  There is water available inside Earth up to the depth of about 10 km.   The rocks are very very hot there.   This system of water reservoir holding water, getting heated and coming out through the vents is called a plumbing system.  Along these vents SiO2 or geyserite is deposited and makes the vents smooth and hard.  They enable high pressure to be maintained along the vents.   After certain duration, the pressure of water inside Earth comes down, so geysers stop.  The water on the surface seeps through pores in Earth and this slowly collects back into the reservoirs of the geysers.  Thus the geyser cycle again starts.      They exist in about 1000-1500 places on Earth.   There are a lot of them in the USA, especially at Yellowstone National Park at Wyoming.  The Grand geyser in USA erupts for about 10 minutes every 12 hours.  There is a valley of Geysers in Russia in Kamchatka peninsula.  This is the major one in Euro-Asia.  In India there are some including one famous one in HARIYANA. There are around 80 in El Tatio , Chile.   There are some in Taup Volcanic zone in (North island of) New Zealand.   It is supposed to have reached 160 meters high.   In Iceland too there are famous geysers including the Great Geysir. =======================================                 Domestic Electric Heater/GeyserWorking principle (Physics)      The Joules heating effect of an electric resistance is used to heat water. Description of the heater:    We use electric geysers at homes or in clinics or shops to heat water.  It is cylindrical shaped and is mounted on walls. It has a capacity of 50 to 250 liters.  See diagram.    It consists of a water container vessel with an inlet for cold water and an outlet for hot water. The heater contains a thick (tubular) electric conductor (metallic resistance) coil element. It gets heated due to the dissipation of energy when current passes through it. The heat energy is transmitted to water through conduction and convection mechanisms. Usually the heating element is made of Nickel or chromium.     There is a mechanism to measure the temperature of water using a THERMOSTAT. It shuts off, automatically, the current supply to the heating element, when the temperature is above a preset value. This is set in the factory.  There may be LEDs or small bulbs to indicate whether the heater is switched on or off.    The water container is usually made of a MATERIAL which does not get corroded or rusted easily.  The water container is protected with insulating material and air gap so that the heat energy is retained inside the container.  The materials for the outer casings are usually stainless steel, plastic and china glass. Plastic is safer to prevent from leakages and shocks. =========================================Power and rating related INFORMATION:      The heater is usually based on AC voltage. It is given a rating : power it consumes, current it passes when the rated voltage is applied. Voltage rating V could be 220 V in countries like India and 110 V in USA. Power rating P could be 1 KW to 5 kW depending on size.       Heating Power P = V² / Resistance of heating coil.     If the water tank capacity is L liters, then rate of heating is:                = P / (L * density * specific heat )  = P / ( L * 1 * 4181) =                = P / (4181 L)  °K / sec     If we want to heat water from 20° to 50°, then it takes time T =                   T = 30 * 4181 L / P = 2000 L / P  minutes.     If people could wait for 15 minutes for L litres , then                    Power needed P = 2000 L /  L = 2 kW ==================================================Instant Heaters     We get instant heaters also. They have a small capacity (2 litres). The water is heated at a constant rate as the water flows through the geyser.  There is no storage and not much insulation provided in this type of heaters.  A heating (electric resistor) coil is used in them. The wattage could be around 2 kW.  Care must be taken as if there is not enough water, it may burn the coil.  Flow of water can be decreased or increased to have hotter or colder water.

equal volumes of monoatomic and diatomic gas are given equal quantities of heat at the same temperature . which gas will have higher temperature ?

Answer»

of both gases = V  (initial and final), as we ASSUME they are in fixed containers.number of moles of each gas = n  (assume)Initial temperature of both gases = TQuantity of heat given to each gas = QMono-atomic gas      Ratio of specific heats = γ₁ = 5/3     Molar Heat capacity at constant volume = = 3/2 R     Pressure  initial = P₁    ,    final = P₁',         Final temperature = T₁'          P₁ V = n R T ,       P₁'  V = n R T₁'      =>    P₁' / P₁ = T₁' / TDiatomic gas       ratio of specific heats = γ₂ = 7/5     Molar Heat capacity at constant volume = = 5/2 R      pressure  initial  = P₂  ,    final pressure = P₂'  ,       final temperature = T₂'         P₂ V = n R T   ,       P₂'  V = n R T₂'        =>      P₂' / P₂ = T₂' / T              ==>    P₂  =  P₁          and           P₂' / P₁'  =   T₂' / T₁'=================There is no change in volumes.  Hence the WORK done W by each gas is zero.                   Q = ΔU + W     Q = ΔU = change in internal energy = As molar heat capacity for the diatomic gas is more than that of monoatomic gas, the temperature INCREASE for the diatomic gas will be less.   Thus, the mono-atomic gas will have higher temperature.

Why visible light cannot demonstrate the compton effect?

Answer»

that retain energy after interacting with an electron via the photoelectric EFFECT are said to undergo Compton SCATTERING.  if a photon has any amount of energy greater than the applicable photoelectric work function, it can theoretically undergo Compton scattering.  visible light can Compton scatter. However, the probability of Compton scattering at these ENERGIES is very low, not to mention these scattered photons would most LIKELY loose all of their energy from all of the other various available atomic interactions before they could even escape the SAMPLE, which is a necessary component to measurement (something has to exist in order to be measured). Therefore, the effects of Compton scattering are negligible at visible light energies.light. These kinds of energies are associated with x-rays.

If the absolute temperature of a gas is raised to four times its original temperature, how will its root-mean-square velocity be affected keeping all other variables unchanged?

Answer»

l Energy of a given MASS M of a GAS (mass of each molecule = m) is given by the formula :     E = 1/2 M v² = 3/2 * R T         M = mass of  gas         v = rms velocity = root mean square velocity         R = universal gas constant         T = ABSOLUTE temperature of the gas   Energy of a molecule is given by : 1/2 m v² = 3/2 k_B T         k_B = Boltzmann's constant           m = mass of a molecule.   THUS  v = √(3 R T / M)  = √(3 k_B T/m)     For a given gas,  the rms velocity depends only on the square root of the absolute temperature of the gas.             v2/v1 = √(T2/T1) = √4 = 2        So rms velocity becomes doubled.
