Senior Inter New Syllabus - Ray Optics Important SA Questions

Q: Explain the formation of mirage.
A: Mirage is an optical-illusion. It is formed due to total internal reflection of light. On a hot summer day, the ground is heated due to radiation of sun. Then the air in lower levels gets heated and its density decreases. As a result its refractive index and optical density decreases. Now rarer medium is formed at lower layers and denser medium exists at upper levels when light ray coming from sun (or) from a tall tree will pass through denser to rarer medium and satisfy i > ic and total internal reflection takes place. As a result an observer gets an impression that reflection of distant object is occurring due to presence of water, but water will not be there. Such
inverted images cause an optical illusion to the observer.

Q: Explain the formation of rainbow.
A: Rainbow is due to dispersion of white light through water drops. Rainbow is the combined effect of dispersion, refraction and total internal reflection of Sunlight by spherical water droplets of rain. Conditions for observing a rainbow are that the Sun should be shining in one part of the sky, while it is raining in the opposite part of the sky. Formation is atleast a three step process. Sunlight is first refracted as it enters a rain drop which causes different colours (different wavelengths).

Red will bend less, blue and violet will bend more. These components will suffer
total internal reflection inside water drop at water-air boundary, and again get refracted at the opposite surface and come out. In this way rainbow is formed on a rainday.

Few important points:

Sunset and Sunrise appear red because least scattering of red colour reaches the
earth and other colours are scattered more and are removed from it.

Sky appears blue due to scttering of sunlight in atomsphere.

Red is used as danger signal because red light is scattered the least and violet is scattered the most.

Senior Inter Physics - Ray Optics Imp Questions VSA Questions - New Syllabus

Senior Inter: Ray Optics: Reflection, Refraction and Total internal reflection

Q: Define focal length and radius of curvature of a concave lens?
A: The distance of focal point from optic centre is known as focal length (f).
The distance between centre of lens and centre of curvature is called radius of curvature (R).

Q: What is optical density and how it differ from mass density?
A: Optical density is the property of a medium to slow down the speed of light. A medium of high refractive index has more optical density.
Mass per unit volume of a substance is m
called mass density (d = m/v ). An optically v denser medium may have less mass density.

Q: Define 'power' of a convex lens. What is its unit?
A: The tangent of angle by which a convex lens converges a beam of light, of unit breadth at its optic centre to its focus is called power of a convex lens. P = 1/f

Q: What is dispersion? which colour gets relatively more dispersed?
A: The phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours is known as dispersion. Dispersion of white light gives VIBGYOR colours. The colour
with less wavelength disperses more. Thus violet colour undergoes more deviation.

Q: What is myopia? How can it be corrected?
A: It is one of optical defect of human eye. In which light ∝ rays are coming from distant object are converged at a point infront of retina. This defect is called shortsightedness. This can be corrected by using a concave lens.

Q: What is hypermetropia? How it can be corrected?
A: This is one of eye defect. In this incoming light from object is converged at a point behind the retina. This is called farsightedness. This defect can be corrected by using a convex lens.

10th Biology English Medium - Imp Questions

Q: What is epiglottis? (one mark)
A: The cartilaginous flap present over glottis preventing food from entering into larynx is called epiglottis.

Q: Why mitochondria are called as power houses of the cell? (one mark)
A: Mitochondria help in producing the energy or ATP. So, they are called the power houses of the cell.

Two Marks Questions

Q: What is reaction centre?
A: Chlorophyll and other accessory pigment molecules are situated in the thylakoid
membranes and organized to form reaction centres called photosystem I and photosystem

Junior Inter Botany 4 Marks Questions and Answers - AP Board

4 Marks Questions
Q: What is meant by identification and nomenclature? How is a key helpful in the identification and classification of an organism?
A: Identification means to determine whether a collected organism is entirely new or
already known.
- Nomenclature means providing a scientific name to an identified organism.
- A taxonomic key is based on contrasting characters in pairs (couplet).
- It refers to a choice between two opposite options out of which one is accepted and the other rejected. Thus plants or animals may be classified using keys based on similarities and differences. Each taxonomic category requires separate taxonomic keys.
Ex: Couplet in a key:
Reticulate venation - Parallel venation
Flower pentamerous - Trimerous
Tap root - Fibrous root
Two cotyledons in seed - One cotyledon in seed
By comparing the characters of a plant with the above options one can classify a plant into dicotyledonae / monocotyledonae.

Q: Give the salient features and importance of Chrysophytes.
A: Salient features of Chrysophytes:
- Chrysophytes are single-celled eukaryotes which belong to the kingdom Protista.
- They include microscopic photosynthetic plankton like diatoms and desmids (golden
algae).
- They are aquatic which may be marine or fresh water.
- They are surrounded by a soap box like cell wall which is composed of two overlapping
halves the epitheca and the hypotheca.
- The cell wall is made up of hard and indestructible silica.
- Based on the symmetry the diatoms may be classified into Centrales (radial symmetry)
and Pennales (bilateral symmetry).
- They reproduce by binary fission and formation of auxospores.

Importance of diatoms:

- Diatoms are photosynthetic and chief producers (phytoplankton) of seas and oceans.
- The diatom cell walls accumulated in the sea form diatomaceous earth or kieselguhr.
- It is used in polishing, filtration of oils and syrups.

Q: What is growth? What is the difference between the growth in living organisms and
growth in non-living objects?
A: Increase in mass and volume of an individual is called growth.
- Growth in living organisms is internal which occurs by cell division.
- Growth in non-living objects is external that is by accumulation of materials outside.

Q: What is the nature of cell-walls in diatoms?
