iii. Tuning fork B starts vibrating and a loud sound is heard. Resonance. The air column of B starts [2]
vibrating with the frequency of fork A. Since the frequency of these vibrations is the same as the
natural frequency of the fork B. Then fork B starts vibrating under resonance.

Question 3

ii. Let the real depth of the water tank = x cm [2]

Apparent depth = (x – 80 ) cm
µ = Real depth /Apparent depth

4x – 320 = 3x x = 320 cm

iii. Let R1 and R2 be the value of two resistances [2]

10
Rs = 15 ohm , Rp = ohm

= 10/3
1 2
On solving R1 R2 = 50 Ohm

R2 =
1
Substituting in equ.(1)
50
R1 + = 15
1
R12 – 15 R1 + 50 = 0
(R1 – 10) (R1 – 5) = 0
R1 = 10 ohm
R1 + R2 = 15
10 + R2 = 15
Therefore R2 = 5 ohm

iv. Secondary coil [2]

Turn ratio n < 1
n= =
So current in the secondary coil is more. As more current is passing in the secondary coil ,in
order to reduce its resistance and therefore reduce the loss of heat energy in the coil ,secondary
coil is thick.

v. (a) Moment of couple = Force × distance between forces. [2]

40 × 5 = 200 Nm
(b) No, there is no change in the moment of couple because the moment of couple is
independent of the reference point.

ii. (a) Scattering of light [3]
(b) Scattering is the process of absorption and then remission of light energy by the dust
particles and air molecules present in air
(c) Size of the air molecules should be smaller than the wavelength of incident light.

iii. (a) Lateral displacement [4]

(b) The perpendicular distance between the path of the emergent ray and the direction of
incident ray.
(c) More is the refractive index of the medium, more is the lateral displacement.
(d) Lateral displacement increases.

Question 6
i. (a) one kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 106 J (b) Zero [3]
Centripetal force on the body at any instant is directed towards the centre of the circular path
and displacement is tangent to the circular path
Displacement is normal to the direction of force. So, work done is zero.

ii. Let m be the mass of the ball and height of the ball after rebound be H [3]
Initial Potential energy of the ball = mgh = m × 10 × 10 =100m
Since 100m is the total energy, then the reduced energy is
= 100m – (40% of 100m)
40
= 100m – × 100m
100
= 100m – 40m = 60 m
This is the energy of the ball when it bounces back.
Therefore 60m = m g H
60 60
H= = =6m
10
Hence, the ball can bounce back 6 m high

iii. The force acts in vertically downward direction - the force is called weight or gravitational force [4]
The force acts in vertically upward direction at A. The force is called effort.
When the wheel barrow is in equilibrium.
Effort x effort arm = Load x load arm
E × (30 + 60) cm = (10 + 90) kgf × 30 cm
100 × 30
E= = 33.33 kgf
