CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS

.1. Read the following and answer the questions :

There are many substances which are used to detect the solutions as acidic
or basic. They are called Acid-Base indicators. Depending upon the property
of the indicator, we have different groups of Acid-Base indicators. Some
indicators show different colors in acidic or basic medium and some
indicators give different odors in acidic and basic medium. These indicators
are either extracted from the plants or synthesized in the laboratory or
industry

III.Light is a form of energy which induces sensation of vision to our eyes. It
becomes visible when it bounces off on surfaces and hits our eyes. The
phenomenon of bouncing back of light rays in the same medium on striking
a smooth surface is called reflection of light. If parallel beam of incident
rays remains parallel even after reflection and goes only in one direction is
known as regular reflection. It takes place mostly in plane mirrors or highly
polished metal surfaces. The mirror outside the driver side of a vehicle is
usually a spherical mirror and printed on such a mirror is usually the
warning "vehicles in this mirror are closer than they appear."

1) Which type of mirror is used outside the driver's side of a vehicle?

a) Plane mirror (b) Concave mirror (c) Convex mirror (d) Magic mirror

(2) No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect.
The mirror can be

(a) Plane (b) Concave (c) convex d) Either plane or convex

curvature 60 cm, then find the position of image.

(a) 4 cm b) 7.5 cm (c) 10 cm (d) 12.5 cm

4.) The focal length of mirror is 12 cm. The radius of curvature is

(a) 12 cm (b) 24 cm (c) 20 cm (d) 36 cm

IV.We know that lenses form different types of images when objects are

kept at varying positions. When a ray is incident parallel to the principal

axis,then after refraction, it passes through the focus or appears to come
from the focus.When a ray goes through the optical centre of the lens, it
passes without any deviation. If the object is placed between the focus and
optical center of the convex lens, erect and magnified image is formed. As
the object is brought closer to the convex lens from infinity to focus, the
image moves away from the convex lens from focus to infinity. Also the size
of the image goes on increasing and the image is always real and inverted.A
concave lens always gives a virtual, erect and diminished image irrespective
of the position of the object.

1. The location of image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed
at infinity is

(a) at focus (b) at 2F (c) at optical center (d) betweenFand 2F

2. When the object is placed at the focus of concave lens, the image formed
is

(a) real and smaller (b) virtual and smaller

(c) virtual and inverted (d) real and erect

3. The size of image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at
the focus of convex lens is

(a) highly magnified (b) point in size

(c) small (d) same as that of object

4. When the object is placed at 2F1 in front of convex lens, the location of
image is

(a) at F1 (b) between F1 and optical center.(c)2F2 (d)at infinity

V. Preeti is very fond of gardening. She has different flowering plants in her
garden. One Day few naughty children entered her garden and plucked
many leaves of Bryophyllum plant And threw them here and there in the
garden. After few days, Preeti observed that new Bryophyllum plants were
coming out from the leaves which fell on the ground.

propagation? If yes, then which part?

Menstrual cycle is the cycle of events taking place in
female reproductive organs, under the control of sex
hormones, in every 28 days. At an interval of 28 days, a

proportional to the velocity of light.
