Senior Secondary School Term II Examination, 2022

Marking Scheme – PHYSICS (SUBJECT CODE – 042)
(PAPER CODE – 55/5/1)
General Instructions: -
1. You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems
which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To
avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand
the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2. “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the

examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to
public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the
life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone,
publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may invite action
under IPC.”
3. Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are
based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed
for their correctness otherwise and marks be awarded to them. In class-X, while
evaluating two competency based questions, please try to understand given answer and
even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the
candidate, marks should be awarded.
4. The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on
the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the
Marking Scheme. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after
ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
5. Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer ‘X’ be marked.
Evaluators will not put right kind of mark while evaluating which gives an impression that answer
is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are
committing.
6. If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-hand
margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.
7. If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.
8. If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks
should be retained and the other answer scored out.
9. No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.
10. A full scale of marks 35 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer
deserves it.

11. Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e. 8 hours every
day and evaluate 30 answer books per day in main subjects and 35 answer books per day in
other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the reduced syllabus and
number of questions in question paper.
12. Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner
in the past:-
 Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
 Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
 Wrong totaling of marks awarded on a reply.
 Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
 Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
 Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
 Wrong grand total.
 Marks in words and figures not tallying.
 Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
 Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect
answer.)
 Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
13. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.
14. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error detected
by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work
as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again
reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
15. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the Guidelines for spot
Evaluation before starting the actual evaluation.
16. Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the
title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.
17. The Board permits candidates to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request in an RTI
application and also separately as a part of the re-evaluation process on payment of the
processing charges.

SECTION—A
1.
Circuit Diagram of p-n junction diode as half wave rectifier 1
Explanation of its Working 1
 When voltage at A is positive, diode is forward biased and it conducts

and when voltage at A is negative, diode is reverse biased and it does
not conduct, so output is zero.
Alternatively: 1
2. a)
Writing of the result 1

Explanation 1
There would be no large angle scattering / Size of nucleus can’t be determined. 1
As hydrogen atom which is a target nucleus has only one proton whereas
approaching α particle is more massive than the target nucleus. 1
Alternatively: Repulsive force between target nucleus (Hydrogen) and α–
particles will be very less.
(Note: Give full credit for other correct explanations.)

OR
b)
Explanation 2
According to the photon picture of light the emission of photoelectrons depend

on the energy of photon incident on the metal surface which is determined by 2
the frequency not by the intensity. 2
3.
Explanation 1
Two uses ½+½
It is easier to observe the change in current with change in light intensity if a 1
reverse bias is applied.
Alternatively:
The fractional change due to photo effect on the minority carrier dominated
reverse bias current, is more readily measureable than the fractional change in
the forward bias current.
Uses: (Any two uses)
 Smoke detector
 Remote control
 Medical devices
2
 Optical signal detection
(Any other uses) ½+½
SECTION—B
4.
Graph 1
Reason 1
Two Limitations ½+½
(Note : Full credit if values on the axis are not mentioned)

Due to the large empty space available in an atom, α particles heading towards
the nucleus are less, therefore, small fraction of particles are scattered at θ > 900 1
Alternatively:
For angle θ > 900, the impact parameter is very small.
Limitations
 Could not explain the stability of the atom
½
 Could not explain the existence of line spectra
½ 3
5.
V-I characteristics 1
Difference between threshold voltage and breakdown voltage 1
Property of junction diode 1
i)

ii)
Threshold Voltage: Forward bias voltage at which the current increases
significantly (exponentially) even for a very small increase in voltage.
Alternatively: ½
Forward bias voltage at which the width depletion layer and barrier potential
decreases significantly.
Alternatively:
The voltage at which resistance of junction decreases significantly.
Break down voltage: Reverse bias voltage at which current increases suddenly ½
Alternatively:
Large number of covalent bonds present in the depletion layer break suddenly
iii) Junction Diode conducts when it is forward biased and does not conduct
when reverse biased. 1 3

Difference in the pattern of fringes due to single slit and double slits 1
Derivation of angular position of (i) Bright fringe and
(ii) Dark fringe 1+1
In the pattern of fringes produced by a single slit, the central fringe (band) is
brighter as compared to other fringes i.e intensity goes on decreasing as the
order (n) of the maxima increases, while in the fringe pattern produced by 1
double slits all bright fringes including central fringe are of same intensity.
Alternatively:
In the fringe pattern produced by single slit, the fringe at the centre is wider as
compared to the width of other bright fringes, while in the fringe pattern
produced by double slits all bright fringes are of equal width.
(Note : Give full credit, for the differentiation by drawing intensity distribution
curves of the patterns produced by single slit and double slits)

Explanation 1
Two uses of photo-diode ½+½
It is easier to observe the change in current with change in light intensity
if a reverse bias is applied. 1
Alternatively:
The fractional change due to photo effect on the minority carrier
dominated reverse bias current, is more readily measureable than the
fractional change in the forward bias current.

3. a)

Explanation 1
There would be no large angle scattering / Size of nucleus can’t be
1
determined.
As hydrogen atom which is a target nucleus, has only one proton whereas
approaching α particle is more massive than the target nucleus. 1
Alternatively: Repulsive force between target nucleus (Hydrogen) and

α–particles will be very less.
OR
b)
Explanation 2
According to the photon picture of light the emission of photoelectrons

depend on the energy of photon incident on the metal surface which is 2
determined by the frequency not by the intensity. 2
