Refraction and dispersion of light through a prism
Refraction and dispersion of light through a prismMukesh Tekwani This document contains 20 important theory questions about refraction and dispersion of light through a prism. Some key topics covered are:
1) The angle of deviation of light passing through a prism depends on factors like the refracting angle of the prism and the angle of incidence of light.
2) When white light passes through a prism, it disperses into its constituent colors due to the refractive index of the material being different for different wavelengths of light.
3) In the position of minimum deviation, the angles of incidence and refraction of a monochromatic light ray passing through a prism are related to the refracting angle of the prism.

Spherical mirrorsMukesh Tekwani This document contains 10 important theory questions about spherical mirrors. It defines key terms used to describe spherical mirrors such as pole, center of curvature, radius of curvature, principal axis, aperture, principal focus, focal length and focal plane. It also derives several important relationships for spherical mirrors, including that the focal length of a concave or convex mirror of small aperture is half the radius of curvature, and the mirror formula relating the focal length to the object and image distances. Finally, it derives the magnification formula for concave mirrors and asks which type of spherical mirror is preferable for observing traffic from a car.

ISCE (XII) - PHYSICS BOARD EXAM FEB 2020 - WEIGHTAGE
ISCE (XII) - PHYSICS BOARD EXAM FEB 2020 - WEIGHTAGEMukesh Tekwani This document outlines the unit-wise weightage for the February 2020 ISCE Class 12 Physics board exam. Unit 3 on Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism has the highest weightage at 16. Other highly weighted units include Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents at 14, and Optics at 12. The lowest weighted units are Communication Systems at 2 and Electronic Devices at 8.
Cyber Laws
Cyber LawsMukesh Tekwani What is Cyber Law? Why is cyber security law needed? International cyber law. What is copyright? What are security, controls, privacy, piracy and ethics? Code of ethics for computer professionals. What is cyber insurance?
XML
XMLMukesh Tekwani The document discusses the disadvantages of HTML and the advantages of using XML instead. It notes that HTML lacks structure, syntax checking, and is not suitable for data interchange or describing semantics. XML was designed to store, describe, and transport data, unlike HTML which was designed for display. XML simplifies data sharing and transport between applications since it separates data from presentation and uses plain text. It also allows for international character support and makes data more available and reusable.
Social media
Social mediaMukesh Tekwani This presentation discusses various social media platforms and provides information on social media, social media analytics, and social media marketing. It defines social media as online communication channels used for sharing content and collaboration. It explains that social media analytics involves gathering and analyzing data from social media sites to make business decisions. Social media marketing aims to create shareable content to expose brands and increase reach. The presentation then outlines popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Wikipedia and Pinterest, describing their basic uses and features. It concludes with discussing precautions to take when using these social media sites.

CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - Worksheet
CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - WorksheetSritoma Majumder Introduction
All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups:
Metals
Non-Metals
Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one.
Physical Properties
1. Appearance
Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper.
Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny).
2. Hardness
Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron.
Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard).
3. State
Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid).
Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid).
4. Malleability
Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable).
Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle).
5. Ductility
Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile).
Non-metals: Not ductile.
6. Conductivity
Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor).
7. Sonorous Nature
Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck.
Non-metals: Do not produce sound.
Chemical Properties
1. Reaction with Oxygen
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
These metal oxides are usually basic.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides.
These oxides are usually acidic.
2. Reaction with Water
Metals:
Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium).
Some react slowly (e.g., iron).
Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver).
Non-metals: Generally do not react with water.
3. Reaction with Acids
Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals: Do not react with acids.
4. Reaction with Bases
Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare.
Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc).
Displacement Reaction
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
Uses of Metals
Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings.
Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils.
Copper: Electrical wires.
Gold and Silver: Jewelry.
Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization).
Uses of Non-Metals
Oxygen: Breathing.
Nitrogen: Fertilizers.
Chlorine: Water purification.
Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke).
Iodine: Medicines.
Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal.
Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.
