[Very Important] What is simple harmonic motion? What are the necessary
conditions for a body to execute simple harmonic motion?
The special kind of vibratory motion of a body, whose acceleration is directly
proportional to its displacement from mean or equilibrium position, is called si ple
harmonic motion.
Conditions:
i) Acceleration is directly proportional to its displacement.
ii) Acceleration is directed towards the mean position.
[Important] How can y u define the term wave? Elaborate the difference
between mechanical and e ectr magnetic waves? Give examples of each.
Wave:
Wave is the mean to tra sport energy from one place to another without transport of
matter.
Mechanical Waves:
The waves which require medium for their propagation. For example sound waves,
water waves and r pe waves.
Electromagnetic Waves:
The waves which on't require any medium for their propagation. For example light
waves are electromagnetic waves.
Distinguish between longitudinal and transverse waves with suitable
examples.
The aves due to which the direction of oscillations are along the direction of
propagation of waves are called "Longitudinal" waves. And the direction of oscillations
are perpendicular to the direction propagation of waves are called transverse waves.
Examples of longitudinal waves:
i) Sound Waves ii) Waves on slinky spring.
Examples of Transverse Waves:
i) Water waves ii) String waves

If the speed of waves is (v) and the time period of the plate producing waves is T
seconds, then the distance covered by the wave will be vT. As it is equal to the
=
wavelength, therefore,
v = λ/Tor λ x 1/T
λ vT
We know that 1/T=f then
V = fλ
Waves are the means of energy transfer without transfer of matter. Justify
this statement with the help of a simple experiment.
If we hold an end of a long string and give it vibrations. Then a wave is set up on the
string and the other end also st rts vibrating automatically (after some time). It
confirms the transfer of energy by the help of wave on string. It confirms the transfer
of energy and not the transfer f m ss.
[Important] Explain the f wing properties of waves with reference to ripple
tank experime t.
1-Reflection:
When a waves strike an obstacle placed in its path, it will be reflected back in a
particular directi n. This phenomenon is called reflection of waves. Laws of reflecti n
are:
i) Angle of inci ent ray (Angle i) and reflected ray (Angle r) will be equal.
ii) (Angle i), (Angle r) and the normal, all lies at the same plane.
2-Refraction:
When aves enter from one medium to another, a part of it is reflected in the same
medium while the other part is transmitted into the other medium. This
phenomenon is called refraction of waves.
The ave speed and wavelength of a wave change in the second medium but
frequency does not change.
(*** draw figure from book)
3-Differaction:
The bending of waves around obstacles is called diffraction.
For example, radio and TV waves reach in those areas where they could not reach
directly due to diffraction

[Important] A ball is dropped from a certain height onto the floor and keeps
bouncing. Is the motion of the ball simple harmonic? Explain.
As the ball is dropped from certain height “h” onto the floor having initial P.E = mgh
and keeps bouncing. It is observed after each bounce its height and its P.E are
decreasing. And time period is also decreasing. As time period is not constant and
total energy is not conserved so the motion of the ball is not simple harmonic motion.
Plane waves in the ripple tank un ergo refraction when they move from deep
to shallow water. What change occurs in the speed of the waves?
When water waves coming fr m deeper portion of ripple tank enter into another
region of shallow water regi n, then these show refraction. Their speed in both the
regions is not same due to cha ge f value of wavelengths.
[Important] Define vibratio al motion.
The to and fro motion of a body about is its mean position is called vibrational
motion. For example simple pendulum, flapping of wings of birds etc. The motion of
vibrating body from one extreme position to other and then back to the same is called
one vibration.
How spi er etects its prey.
A spider etects its prey due to vibration produced in the web.

What do you know about the speeds of Longitudinal and Transverse waves
through various matters?
Longitudinal waves move faster through solids than through gases r liquids.
Transverse waves move through solids at a speed of less than half f the speed
of longitudinal waves. It is because the restoring force exerted during this up
and down motion of particles of the medium is less than the re toring force
exerted by a back and forth motion of particles of he m dium in case of
longitudinal waves.
Which type of wave carry more energy. High frequency waves or low
frequency?
To generate a high frequency wave required more e ergy per second, therefore high
frequency waves carry more energy than low frequency waves.
LONG QUESTIONS
[Very Important] Explain the motion of mass attached with a spring on a
horizontal and frictionless plane is simple harmonic motion.
Consider the following figure.
(Draw figure from book)
In the figure, a spring is p ced n smooth surface. Its one end is attached to firm
support. A mass ‘m’ is attached on its other end.
In this state, there is o extension in spring, i.e it is in equilibrium state.
If a force ‘Fext’ is exerted on mass toward right, the length of spring will be
increased by an amou t ‘x’. Mass will move from its position ‘O’ to ‘A’.
As per Ho ke’s law
Fext α x
Fext = kx
Here k is a constant, and is called spring constant. Value of k is obtained by the
equation (k = Fext/x)
The ratio of External Force (Fext) and increase in length (x) is called spring
-1
constant. Its unit is Nm .
After removing the External Force (Fext), spring moves towards its original
position „O‟. but now F = -kx
Acceleration „a‟ of the mass „m‟ can be found as (a = F/m = -kx/m).
Acceleration is always directed towards its original position.
Due to inertia, mass ‘m’ does not stop at „O‟, but it reaches upto A’.
After reaching to A’, spring again tries to reach to its original position ‘O’, but
again pass it.
In this way mass start moving to and fro about its original position ‘O’.

In equilibrium position, it is held stationary in vertical position and its bob is at
‘O’.
If the bob is disturbed from O to A, it start moving about its mean position.
This to and fro motion is between points A and B.
Its acceleration remains towards „O‟.
Hence, we can say that motion of simple pendulum is also simple har onic motion.
Time period (T) of simple pendulum can be found by the following equati n.
T =2 ∏ l/g
Where „l‟ is the length of pendulum and „g‟ is gravitational acceleration
[Very Important] Write down the characteristics of SHM and give some
examples from daily life?
Characteristics:
i) SHM is a vibratory motion.
ii) A body doing S.H.M, always vibrate about its mean (equilibrium) position.
iii) Its acceleration is always directed toward its mean position.
iv) Its acceleration is directly proportion l to its di placement from the mean
position.
v) Its velocity is maximum at mean position, and minimum at extreme
positions.
vi) The P.E is maximum at extreme position and zero at mean position.
vii) Amplitude of oscillation for SHM remains constant.
[Very Important] Explain the term wave. What are types of waves?
The perio ic isturbance spreading all around inside a medium is said to form a wave.
It has two types:
1-Mechanical Waves:
Waves that need a medium for their production and propagation are called
mechanical aves. For example waves produced in water and string. Mehcanical
aves have further two types:
Longitudinal Waves: Those waves in which the particles of the medium
vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave are called
compressional or longitudinal waves. For example sound waves.
Transverse Waves: Those waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate
perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave are called transverse
waves. For example waves produced by dipping a pencil in water. Those parts
of transverse waves where the particles of the medium are above the normal

position are called crest and parts where the particles of the medium are below
their normal position are called trough.
2-Electromagnetic Waves:
The waves which do not require any medium for their propagation are called
electromagnetic waves. For example X-ray, light waves, radio and TV waves.
Explain waves as carrier of energy and write the two methods of transfer of
energy.
There are two methods of transferring energy.
i) Through matter.
ii) Through waves.
i) When gun is fired, bullet get energy and moves towards arg t. When it hits
the target, it transfers the energy to it. As a result breaking/damage takes
place.
ii) Running water in dams is also an example. Water tra sfers its K.E to turbine
blades, due to which turbine start rotating a d electricity is produced.
[Very Important] What is ripple tank? Explain the construction and working
of a ripple tank.
Simple apparatus, called ripple tank is used to observe the prop rties of waves
(e.g. reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction etc).
Ripple Tank: -
This apparatus consists of a rectangular tray with glass b tt m.
It is placed nearly half meter above the surface of a table.
Waves are produced on the surface of water with the help of a vibrator.
This vibrator is an oscillating electric motor which is fixed on a wooden plate.
This plate is suspended by means of rubber b nds and its lower end touches
the water surface.
On setting vibrator on, this plate st rts vibr ting and straight waves are
generated on the water surface.
(***Draw Figure here from book.)
A bulb is hung over the tray. With the help of its light, the images of water
waves is obtained on the white p per or screen.
The crests of the waves ppe r s bright lines on the paper because they function
like convex lens and c nverge the rays of light falling on them.
The troughs of the waves appear as dark lines on the paper because they
function like concave e s and diverge the rays.
To generate circular aves, the vibrating bar is raised up and a knob attached
to it is lowered in such a way that it touches the water surface.
For the detailed analysis of these moving waves they should be frozen by one
way or the ther. This is done by means of a device called stroboscope.
Stroboscope c nsists of a round disc with slits on its edge.
This disk can be rotated about its centre by putting it into motion by a finger.
When e see through this disc, we see waves only, when a slit passes against
our eye.
If e adjust the speed of stroboscope, so that a slit in front of our eye is
replaced by another during the time in which the waves move forward by one
avelength, the waves appear to be stationary and we say that their motion is
“frozen”.

SHORT QUESTIONS
What is the necessary condition for the production of sound? In which
medium sound travels fast? Air, solid or liquid Justify your answer.
Sound wave can be produced by vibrating a body. It travels in a medium whose
particles can vibrate. The frequency of vibrations must be greater than 20Hz and less
than 20,000Hz. In solids the sound waves have faster speed than in air r liquid (due
to larger elasticity).
What is the effect of the medium, on the speed of sound? In whi h medium
sound travels more faster: air, solid or liquid? Justify your an wer
Sound waves are mechanical waves so medium has effect on the peed of sound
waves. In solids the sound waves have faster speed than in air or liquid (due to larger
elasticity).
How can you prove the mechanical nature of sou d by a simple experiment?
The sound waves are "mechanical waves". It require material medium.
It can be proved by placing an electric bell in ide a glass jar where vacuum is
produced.
The electric bell is made ON, but its sound c nnot be heard, due to vacuum and no
material medium.
While before producing vacuum sound wi be he rd.
What do you understand, by the longitudinal wave? Describe the longitudinal
nature of sound wave.
The waves are said to be longitu in l if the particles of the medium vibrate in the
same direction as the direction of propagation of waves.
Sound waves are mechanical nd longitudinal in nature.
It means the particles f the medium (air, liquid or solid) vibrate in the same
direction as the direction of the sound waves travel.
Sound is a form of ave. List at least three reasons to support the idea that
sound is a wave.
Sound is a form f ave.
It gives the sensation of hearing. If we listening sound the membrane of our ear
starts vibrating.
Ultra -soun s (high energy waves) are used in medical sciences.
What is the difference between the loudness and intensity, of sound? Drive
the relation between them OR Define Weber-Fechner law.
Loudness:
It is a characteristic of sound by which loud and faint sounds can be distinguished.
Intensity:
Sound energy flowing per second through a unit area held perpendicular to the
direction of sound waves is called the intensity of sound.
Relation:
L α log I
L = (Constant) log I
L = k log I
This equation is mathematical representation of Weber-Fechn r law. Here K is
constant of proportionality.
What do you mean by the term intensity level of the sound? Name and define
the unit of intensity level of sound.
Difference between l udness of sound and loudness of faintest sound is called
intensity level f r any sound. The unit of intensity level is bel. The smaller unit of
intensity level is ecibel and 1 bel = 10 dB. Intensity Level = 10 log I/Io dB
What are the units of loudness? Why do we use logarithmic scale to describe
the range of the sound intensities we hear?
The unit of loudness is bel. The smaller unit is decibel.
What is difference between frequency and pitch? Describe their relationship
graphically.
The number of wave lengths passing through a point in one second is called
frequency. Its units are hertz (HZ) and, the pitch is quality of sound due to which a
shrill and grave voice can be distinguished. The greater is frequency of sound, the
larger is pitch of sound and vice -versa.

What is the audible frequency range for human ear? D es this range vary
with the age of people? explain.
As name indicates, it is a range of sound’s frequency, which a person can hear. A
human ear can hear a sound only if its frequency lies between 20 and 20,000 hertz
(Hz). If the frequency of sound is less or gre ter than this range then that sound is
in-audible and could not be heard. This r nge c n be slightly differs in different
persons.

The sound waves have larger wave length than light. The e are diffracted by corner of
well and light waves cannot do so, due to their very mall wave length (as compared
with size of wall corner). So, without seeing the friend his/ her voice can be heard.
Why must the volume of it stereo in room with wall -to -wail carpet be
turned higher than in a room with a wooden floor?
The wooden floor is more rigid than carpet. The sound waves produce reverberations
after reflecting from rigid wooden floor. Therefore, volume of the stereo must be kept
smaller. Whereas, in case of c rpet this is not the case and waves are mostly
absorbed.
A student says that the two terms speed and frequency of the wave refer to
the same thing. What is y ur response?
We know the relation between speed, frequency and wavelength V =f λ. It shows
that speed depends upon frequency and vice versa. But it is not necessarily because
in case of refraction of sound waves speed changes by changing only the wavelength.
Two people are listening to the same music at the same distance. They
disagree on its l udness. Explain how this could happen.
The two pers ns listening some same sound, sitting at same distance away from the
source, can say that loudness is not same, because the different human ears have
different sensitivities.
Is there any difference between echo and reflection of sound?
Explain Reflection:
The process, when sound waves incident on the surface of a medium it bounces back
into the first medium, is called reflection of sound waves.
Echo:
Echo is the same of reflection of sound waves but due to sensation of sound persists
in our brain for 0.1 sec. To hear echo the time interval between our sound and
reflected sound must be at least 0.1 sec. As we know the speed of sound is 334 ms-I
at STP. Then to hear echo the minimum distance between obstacle and from the
source of sound must be 17m.

How whales can commu icate over hundreds & thousands miles?
This is possible in part because sound waves travel five times faster in water than in
air. In additi n, the temperature characteristics of ocean water – decrease in
temperature with epth – create a unique sound phenomenon.
What are the audible frequency ranges of bats, mice, dogs & cats and
humans?
Bats can hear frequencies up to 120,000 Hz. Other animals cannot hear such high
pitched sounds. Mice can hear frequencies up to 100,000Hz, dogs upto 35,000Hz and
cats upto 25,000Hz and human upto 20,000Hz.

the refractive index of a substance.
Critical Angle:
The angle of incidence in the denser medium for which corresponding angle of
0
refraction is 90 in the rarer medium is called the critical angle. This angle of
incidence is denoted by C.
Relationship between Critical Angle and Refractive Index:
Let‟s say that the less dense medium is air (n=1). Then the refractive index f the
second medium is:
n = sin i /sin r
= sin 90° / sin
c n = 1 / sin c
What are optical fibers? Describe how tot l internal reflection is used in light
propagating through optical fibers.
Optical Fiber is a strand of glass or plastic not much thicker than human hair uses
light signals to transfer information from one end to other.
Explanation:
The central part of the optical fiber is ma e up of glass or plastic having relatively high
refractive index called cone through which light travels. The core is surrounded by a
coaxial layer of glass (with sm ll index of refraction) or plastic called cladding having
low refractive index.
As shown in figure the light entering the optical fiber strikes the cladding with an
angle greater than the critical angle of the glass it is totally reflected into the core. In
this way light travels many kilometers with small loss of energy.
In convex mirror, rays parallel to the principal axis after reflection appear to come
from a point F situated behind the mirror. This point is called Principal Focus.

Prism is a transparent and refracted me ium made up of optical glass with at least
two polished plane faces inclined tow r s each other from which light is refracted. A
triangular prism is shown in figure below:
The incident ray PE makes an angle of incidence <i at point B and is refracted to ards
the normal N as BF. The refracted ray makes an angle of refraction <r inside the
prism and travels to the other end of the prism.
This ray emerges out from the prism at point P making an angle e. Hence the
emerging ray FS is not parallel to the incident ray EF but it is deviated by an angle D
which is called angle of deviation.

What is corpuscular nature of light?
In the early 1700s, there were two ideas about the n ture of light. Particle nature and
Wave nature. Newton put forward the idea of orpuscular nature of light. According to
him light consists of tiny fast moving parti les. Maxwell formulated the wave theory of
light. In I802, Thomas Young proved the wave nature of light experimentally. In 1900
Planck suggested that light consists of small packets of energy called photon. Later on
idea of photon was confirmed by experiments. Now we know that light dual nature.

Light pipe:
Light pipe is bundle of thousands of optical fibers bounded together. They are used to
illuminate the inaccessible places by the doctors and engineers. For example d ctors
view inside the human body. It can be used to transmit images from ne place to
another.
Endoscope:
An endoscope is a medical instrument used for diagnos ic surgical purposes. An
endoscope uses two optical fibers tubes through a pipe.
Process of Endoscope:
Due to small size it is inserted through the mouth and thus eliminates the invasive
surgery. The light shines on the organ of patient to be diagn sed while entering
through one of the fiber tubes of the endoscope. Then light is transmitted back to
physician's viewing lens through the other fiber tube by total internal reflection.
Flexible endoscope has a tiny camera attached to the end. Doctor can see the view
recorded by the camera is displayed on a computer creen.
A medical procedure using any type of endos ope is called endoscopy. For example
Gastroscopy, Cystosopy and Bronchos opy means endoscope is used to diagnose
stomach, bladder and throat respectively.

Far-sightedness / Hypermetropia:
If a person cannot see nearby objects clearly without aid of spectacles. This
defect is known as farsightedness.
When a person with farsightedness defect tries to focus on a book held closer
than the near point, it shortens the focal length as much as it can. However at
its shortest the focal length is longer than it should be. Therefore the light rays
from book would form image behind the retina.
This defect is removed with glass or contact lenses that use converging lenses.
The lens refracts the light rays and they converge to form an image on the
retina. To the observer these rays appear to come from the near point to form
sharp and virtual image on the retina.

Construction / Structure: -
i) It consists of a brass rod which has a brass disc connected to its upper end.
ii) Two very thin gold leaves are attached to its lower end.

iv) A thin foil of aluminium is pasted in the inner surface of jar.
Use/Working of Electroscope: -
i) First of all electroscope will have to be charged with +ev or –eve charge.
ii) In order to charge the electroscope positively, touch the disc with positively
charged body and vice versa.
iii) In order to detect the presence of charge on a body bring it near the disc.
iv) If the divergence of leaves increases then the body has the same kind f charge
as the electroscope carrying.
v) If the divergence of leaves decreases then the body has the opposite harge as
the electroscope carrying.
Suppose you have a glass rod which becomes positively charged when you
rub it with wool. Describe, how would you charge he l ctroscope i) negatively
ii) positively?
In order to produce positive charge on the electrosc pe, bring a negative charged
rod near the disk of the electroscope.
Positive charge will appear on the disk and negative chares will shift to the leaves.
Now connect the disk of electroscope to the earthed aluminum foil by connecting
wires.
Charges of the leaves will flow to the earth through the wire.
Now if we first break the earth connections nd then remove the nod the
electroscope will be left with positive harges.
Similarly we can charge it negatively by using positively charged rod.
With the help of electroscope how you can find presence of charge on a
body?
If a neutral rod is brought near the disk of electroscope, there is no deflection on
the leaves of the electrosc pe.
When a positively or egatively charged rod is brought near the disk of electroscope
then in either case the gold leaves diverge or distance between the two increases.

A fire or explosion may occur due to ex essive build-up of electric charge produced
by friction.
In case of fuel carrier (gasoline/petrol) truck gets charge through tires due to
friction.
This excess of charge can cause fire or explosion.
To avoid such accide t a c nducting chain is suspended from the truck touching
road.
So the excess of charge flow to earth from the body of the truck.
In case of aero plane, it gets charge on it due to air friction.
There are quenching machines in the aero plane which neutralize the body of aero
plane constantly.
When the plane lands it is earthed to cause the flow of excess of charges to earth.
An electrified rod attracts pieces of paper. After a while these pieces fly
away. Why?
When an electrified rod brings close to a piece of paper, opposite electric charges
appear on piece of paper due to electrostatic induction. After attraction the positive
charge body attracts the electrons from other so become neutral. Force finishes and
paper flies away.

The voltage chosen for the transmission of electrical power over large
distances is many times greater than the voltage of the domestic supply.
State two reasons why electrical power is tr n mitted at high voltage.
i) Sending power at high voltage wou d reduce the power loss in the form of
2
heat dissipation i.e. I Rt. For same power, high voltage means lower current
and hence less power loss.
ii) Sending power at high voltage means low current. It means we need thinner
wires and also less number of repeater step-up transformers to send power
over long destinati ns.
Why is the voltage used f r the d mestic supply much lower than the voltage
at which the power is tra smitted?
Domestic appliances operate on low voltage because high voltage can damage these
instruments. High voltage can also be dangerous for users as it can cause electric
shock. It may also damage property and other valuables as a result of some serious
electric shock.
A bird can sit harmlessly on high tension wire. But it must not reach and

A bird can sit harmlessly on high tension wire as no current passes through its body,
since the potential of the wire is constant. However, if the bird grabs the neighbouring
ire, then due to potential difference of two wires, current will flow through the body
of the bird and can be fatal

magnetic lines of force passing through any surface is known as magnetic flux
through that surface.
If magnetic flux through a coil or a solenoid is changing, an emf is induced in it. This
can be explained by an experiment.
Experiment: -
i) Take a solenoid and connect a galvanometer with its two ends.
ii) If North Pole quickly moved towards the end A of solenoid, the needle of
galvanometer gets deflected, which shows that an emf has been generated in
the solenoid.
iii) Now stop the motion of magnet, we shall see that defle tion in the
galvanometer gets zero.
iv) This means that induced current flows only when magnet is moving.
v) The amount of deflection in galvanometer depends upon he sp d of magnet.
vi) If North Pole moved away from end A, again galvan me er shows deflection but
this time opposite in direction.
vii) Similar results will be obtained if magnet is kept stati nary and solenoid is
moved towards or away from magnet.
From this experiment we conclude that an emf is induced in the coil when there is
relative motion between coil and m gnet. This phenomenon is called
electromagnetic induction.
According to Faraday: -
“The value of the induced emf is ire tly proportional to the rate of change of
flux. This is knows as Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic induction.”

they are deflected towards the positively charged plate. What important
characteristics of the electron can be inferred from this?
If electrons ill deflect towards the positive charged plate it means electrons are

When a moving electron enters the magnetic field, it is deflected from its
straight path. Name two factors which can enhance electron deflection.
Fast moving electrons pass through magnetic field, they are deflected from their
straight path shows that these are charged particles.

============================================================
What is difference between data and information?
Data is raw information in the form of figures, alphabet, or graphics. But information
is a processed data on some logical operations that can be used for useful purposes.
What are the components of information tech ol gy? Clearly indicate the
function of each component.
There are five parts (components) work together to produce Computer Based
Information System (CBIS).
1) Hardware:
The term hardware refers to machinery. This includes the computer itself, which is
referred as central processing unit (CPU), nd of its supporting devices like input,
output, storage and communication devi es.
2) Software:
The term software refers to computer programs. Computer programs are machine-
readable instructions that direct the circuitry within the hardware parts of the CBIS to
function in ways that produce useful information from data. Programs are usually
stored on disks.
3) Data:
Data are facts that are used by programs to produce useful information. It may in the
form of graphic or figure that can be recorded. Data is usually stored on disk or tape.
4) Procedure:
These ate set f instructions and rules to design and use information system. These ate
written in manuals and documents for use.
5) People:
Every CBIS nee s people if it is to be useful. The component “people” that most
influence the success or failure of information systems.

Name different information storage devices and describe their uses.
Audio And Video Cassettes:
Audio (related to sound) cassettes consist of magnetic tapes on which sound is saved
in a particular form by the help of magnetic field. Microphone changes sound waves
into electric pulses which are made by amplifier.
Magnetic Disks:
There are different types of magnetic disks, which are coated, with a layer f s e
magnetic material. The read/write head of disks is similar to the record replay head
on a tape recorder.
Floppy Disk:
A floppy disc is made of flexible plastic wafer packed in plastic ca e It is coated with
magnetic oxide. Floppy disc is cheap, convenient, and reliable but lack the storage
capacity and speed for many large jobs. It has storage capaci y from 1 to 3 MB.
Hard Disk:
Hard disc is made of aluminum and is not flexible like fl ppy drive or CD's. It is
enameled with a layer of a metal like Fe, Co, Kr, Ni which can be magnetized easily.
Hard disk has higher speed and larger capacity of data storage. It is also called
storage disk. A large amount of information can be read or write on the hard disk.
Hard disk is made by joining many plates and e ch is acce sed via read/write head on
a moveable armature. This disc revolves inside box with great speed about its axis. It
is enclosed in by a jacket to avoid exterior po ution.
Compact Disc (CD):
It is molded plastic disc containing igital ata that is scanned by a laser beam for the
reproduction of recorded sound or other information. A pit pattern is formed on it.
This has billions of pits of varying lengths and spaces on a shiny disc. Shiny area
between every two consecutive pits is called a "flat". The pit pattern is read by fine
laser beam. It is focused on a particular take.
Flash Drive:
It is an electronic device that consists of data storage ICs. A flash drive is a small
storage device that can be used to transport files from one computer to another. A
flash drive is easy to use. Once we have created a paper or other work. We can
simply plug ur flash drive into a USB port and the work can be saved in the flash
drive.
Why Optical Fiber is more useful tool for the communication in process.
Optical fiber is a strand of glass or plastic (not thick than human hair) uses light
signal to carry the information, Light signa s have very high frequency so more
information can be send per second over large distances without interruption and loss
of information.
THEORY
What is flow of information?
Flow of information means the transfer of the information from one place to another
through different electronic and optical equipments.

of the oscillator.
Advantages of Optical Fibers:
Waves of visible light has much high frequency than the frequency of radio waves
so more information can be sent per second with light beam.
Fiber optic provides secure and reliable data transmission.
It is not affected by electromagnetic interference.
There is no noise and distortion in fiber optics.
Its error rate is very low.
It provides high quality transmission and high data transmission rate.
Disadvantages:
Fiber optics is difficult to install.
It is quite expensive.
To avoid the above risks we sh u d take care in using the computers. We should use

What do you mean by the term radioactivity? Why some lements are
radioactive but some are not?
The emission of radiation by unstable nuclei having at mic number greater than
82 (Z>82) is called natural radioactivity. The eleme ts are called radioactive
elements.
The elements with atomic number (Z<82) are table a d do not emit radiation.
How can you make radioactive elements rtificially? Describe with a suitable
example.
Artificially produced radioactive e ements, by the bombardment of different
particles, are called radioactive isotopes.
Elements having atomic number Z (1 to 82) are stable and non radioactive
elements can also be ch nged into unstable and radioactive elements by
bombarding them with protons, neutrons or alpha particles.
For example, when s dium-11 is bombarded with neutrons, it becomes unstable
and excited. Then it de-excites with the emission of gamma rays photon.
What are the three basic radioactive decay processes and how do they differ
from each other?
If an unstable parent nuclide X changes into a daughter nuclide Y with the emission of
alpha particle, beta particle or gamma particle.
Alpha decay:
After Alpha ecay the atomic number of parent decreases by 2 units and mass number
A ecreases by 4 units.
Beta decay:
After Beta decay the atomic number of parent increases by 1 unit and mass number A
remains same.
Gamma decay:
The nature of element does not change. It comes back to normal state after excited
state. The sign (*) shows that nucleus is in exited state.

the cells of malignant tumor in the human body.
3-Carbon Dating (Archeological and Geological uses):
It is the method of age determination of old carbon containing objects (fossils) by
measuring the radioactivity of C-14 in them is called radio-carbon dating or simply
carbon dating.
What are two common radiation hazards? Briefly describe the precautions
that are taken against them.
Radiation Hazards:
Radiation burns, mainly because if beta and gamma radiations cause redness and
sores on skin.
Radiation can cause Sterility which means in bility to produce children.
Radiation causes genetic mutations in hum n being and plants. Serious
deformations are resulted in newly born hi dren.
Radiation cause beloved cancer (Leukemia)
Radiation cause blindness or contracts are formed on eye.
Precautions:
Sources should be handled with t ngs and forceps.
Rubber gloves should be used and hands should be wasted carefully after
experiment.
Thick lead containers shou d be used to save radioactive sources.
A person should never poi t a radioactive source.

What information about the m of the nitrogen atom can be obtained from its
14 14
nuclide N7? In what way atom N7 is different from the atom in N.
14
From the symbol N7 it is clear
Z = Atomic number, so number of protons = 7
Mass number A = sum of protons and neutrons =
14 So number of neutrons N = A-Z = 14-7 = 7
Hence it is one of the isotopes of Nitrogen. In Nitrogen atom there are 7 electons.
