P R E FA C E
Uptil now , the Students had to appear in various entrance examinations for
engineering and medical courses after std-12. The burden of examinations on the side of the
students was increasing day-by-day. For alleviating this difficulty faced by the students,
from the current year, the Ministry of Human Resource Development , Government of India,
has Introduced a system of examination covering whole country. For entrance to engineering
colleges, JEE(Main) and JEE(Advanced) examinations will be held by the CBSE. The
Government of Gujarat has except the new system and has decided to follow the examinations
to be held by the CBSE.
Necessary information pertaining to the proposed JEE (Main) and
JEE(Advanced) examination is available on CBSE website www.cbse.nic.in and it is requested
that the parents and students may visit this website and obtain latest information guidance
and prepare for the proposed examination accordingly. The detailed information about the
syllabus of the proposed examination, method of entrances in the examination /centers/
places/cities of the examinations etc. is available on the said website. You are requested to
go through the same carefully. The information booklet in Gujarati for JEE( Main) examination
booklet has been brought out by the Board for Students and the beneficieries and a copy of
this has been already sent to all the schools of the state. You are requested to take full
advantage of the same also However, it is very essential to visit the above CBSE website
from time to time for the latest information guidance . An humble effort has been made by
the Gujarat secondary and Higher Secondary Education Boards, Gandhinagar for JEE and
NEET examinations considering the demands of the students and parents , a question bank
has been prepared by the expert teachers of the science stream in the state. The MCQ type
Objective questions in this Question Bank will provide best guidance to the students and we
hope that it will be helpful for the JEE and NEET examinations.
It may please be noted that this Question Bank is only for the guidance of the
Students and it is not a necessary to believe that questions given in it will be asked in the
examinations. This Question Bank is only for the guidance and practice of the Students. We
hope that this Question Bank will be useful and guiding for the Students appearing in JEE and
NEET entrance examinations. We have taken all the care to make this Question Bank error
free, however, if any error or omission is found, you are requested to refer to the text
books.

Rule for determining number of significant figures

All the non - zero digits are significant

All the zeros between two non zero digits are significant no matter where the decimal
point is it at all.

If the number is less then 1 then zeros on the right of decimal point but to the left of
the first non - zero digit are not significant.

In a number without decimal point the zeros on the right side of the last non zero digit
are not significant.

Dimensions and Dimensional formulas.

The expression of a physical quantity with appropriate powers of M, L, T, K, A etc

is called the dimensional formula of that physical quantity.

The power of exponents of M, L, T, K, A are called dimensions of that quantity.

Laws of Motion

SUMMARY

Important Points
The law of inertia given by Galileo was represented by Newton as the first law of motion :" If no external
force acts on a body, the body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion continues to move with the
same velocity."
This law gives us definition of force.

The momentum of a body p m v is a vector quantity.It gives more information than the velocity.It's

unit is kgms1 or Ns and dimensional formula M1L1T-1.

Newton's second law of motion : The time-rate of change in momentum of a body is equal to the
resultant external force applied on the body and is in the direction of the exterrnal force.

dP
ma is the vector relationship
F=
dt

The SI unit of force is newton (=N) . 1 N = 1 kg ms2 . This law gives the value of force.It is consistent

with the first law.( F =0 indicates that a =0). In this equation the acceleration of the body a is that

which it has when the force is acting on it.(Not of the Past!) . F is only the resultant external force.
The impulse of force is the product of force and the time for which it acts. when a large force acts for

a very small time, it is difficult to measure F and t but the change in momentum can be measured,

which is equal to the impulse of force ( F t )

Newton's third law of motion: " To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction."

Forces always act in pairs, and, FAB= FBA. The action and the reaction act simultaneously.They act on
different bodies,hence they cannot be cancelled by adding. But the resultant of the forces between
different parts of the same body becomes zero.
The law of conservation of momentum is obtained from Newton's second law and the third law.It is
written as-"The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant."
The concurrent forces are those forces of which the lines of action pass through the same point. For

equilibrium of the body, under the effect of such forces, F must be = 0 Moreover, the sum of the
corresponding components also should be zero. ( Fx = 0, Fy=o, Fz = 0)
Friction is produced due to the contact force between the surfaces in contact.It opposes the impending or
the real relative motion.
Static frictional force fs fs (max)

s N and the kinetic friction is fk = k N

52

S coefficient of static friction

k coefficient of kinetic friction and k s

The reference frame , in which Newton's first law of motion is obeyed is called the inertial frame of
reference and the one in which it is not obeyed is called non-inertial frame of reference. The frame of
reference with constant velocity is an inertial frame of reference and one which has acceleration is noninertial frame of reference.
On a body performing uniform circular motion a force equal to mv2 / r acts towards the centre of the
circular path. This is called the centripetal force.
The maximum safe speed on level curved road is vmax = s rg
The maximum safe speed on a banked curved road is vmax =

Motion of a body on a friction less inclined plane:

As shown in figure body of mass m is placed on a smooth inclined plane making an angle with the
horizontal.
Here, 1 mg cos N 2 mg sin ma
acceleration of body = gsin .

Motion of a body on a Rough inclined plane:

(1) Body moving down : If body moving down
with acceleration a then,
mg sin s N ma and N = mg cos
mg sin s mg cos ma

a g sin s cos

(2)

Body moves up : If body is moving upwards with acceleration a then a g sin s cos .
Pseudo Force : In non-inertial frame of reference due to acceleration one more additional force acting on
a body in the opposite direction of acceleration of frame of reference is called pseudo force (FP) .
when a man of weight m climbs on the rope with acceleration a then tension in the rope is T = m(g + a).
When man sliding down with acceleration a then tension in the rope is T = m(g a).

SUMMARY

The product of the magnitude of the displacement during the action of a force and
the magnitude of the component of the force in the direction of displacement is
known as work. Its unit in joule and its dimensional formula is M 1L2T-2.
If angle between force and displacement is
(i) for = 0 W = Fd

(ii) for =

w = 0 (iii) for w = -Fd

If is an acute, work is positive and work is done by the force on the body. If
is an obtuse angle, work is negative and work is done by the body aganist the force.
Work on a body lying on rough horizontal
surface acted by force. As there is no
displacement along Y-axis
N + Fsin = Mg
N = Mg - F sin
Responsible resultant force for displacement
along X-direction
= F cos - N = F cos - (Mg - Fsin)
Work W = [F cos - (Mg - Fsin]d = [F(cos - sin ) - Mg] d

The work done by a variable force is given by W =

If a variable force and displacement due to it are in the same direction the area
below the F - x graph gives value of work.
The ability of a body to do work by virtue of its motion is known as its Kinetic
energy. If the velocity of a body of mass `m' is `v' its kinetic energy is
K=

1
mv 2 p 2 / 2m . It is scalar quantity..

When a body has the ability to do work due to its position in a force field or its
configuration. It is known as potential energy. It is scalar quantity.
If the gravitational potential energy, due to the gravitational field of Earth, is
randomly taken to be zero on its surface the potential energy of a body of mass
m, at height h is mgh, where g is the gravitational acceleration. The value of `h' is
negligible compared to the radius of the earth.
The sum of the potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy (K) of a substance is
called the mechanical energy. E = K + U.
79

Considering potential energy of a spring as zero in its normal state, if its langth is changed
by x, the potential energy of the spring is U =

1 2
kx . Here k is the spring constant. Unit
2

of k is N/m and dimensional formula is M1L0T-2

The forces for which work done is independent of the path of motion of the body but
depends only on initial and final positions, are called conservative force. The force of
gravitation or the restoring force developed in a spring due to its compression or extension
are conservative forces.

The relation between the conservative force and the potential energy is F =

The time-rate of doing work is called power. Its unit is watt (J/s). Its dimensional formula
is M1L2T-3.

The power P = W / t or P = F . v

Unit of electric energy for domestic use is 1 unit = 1 kWh = 3.6 106 J
If during collision of two bodies the kinetic energy is conserved the collision said to be
elestic.
A body of mass m1 moving with velocity v1 undergoes elastic collision with a body of mass m2

This relation shows that the graph between I and R will be paracola symatric to I axis

Graph should be paracola symmetric to I - axis, but it should not pass from origin because
there is a constant value Icm plesent for d = 0
L = Iw
L w If I constant so graph between L and w will be straight line with constant
stop and passing from origin.

log e L = log e P + log e r

L=r P
If graph is drawn between loge L and loge P then it will be straight line which will not pass
through origin at loge P = 0 loge L = loge r

Er =

So the graph log E r log L will be straightline with constant stop and when Log L = 0.

Keplers laws
- First law :
Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus of ellipse
- Second law :
The radius vectors drawn form the sun to a planet, sweeps out equal area in equal time interval
i.e. areal Velocity is constant.
this law is derived from the law of conservation of angular momentum

The gravitational force acting between two bodies is always attractive. It is independent of medium
between bodies. It holds good over a wide range of distance. It is an action and reaction pair.
It is conservative force. It is a central force and obey inverse square law as F 1/ r 2
The value of G is never zero any where but the value of g is zero at the center of earth.
the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass, shape, size etc of falling body.
the rate of decrease of the acceteration due to gravity with height is twice as compared to that
with depth.
It the rate of rotation of earth increases the value of acceleration due to gravity decreases at
all points on the surface of earth except at poles.
151

If the radius of planet decreasees by n% keeping its mas unchanged, the accelreotion due to
gravity on its surface increases by 2n%.
If the mass of a planet increases by n% keeping its radius unchanged the acceleration due to
gravity on its surface increases by n%.
The value of g at a location gives the value of intensity of gravitational field at the location.
The orbital velocity of a satellite is independent of mass of the satellite but depends upon the
mass and radius of planet around which the rotation is taking place
The value of orbital velocity for a satellite near the surface of earth is 7.92 kms1.
The direction of orbital velocity of satellite at an instant is along the tangent to the orbital path
at that instant.
The work done by a satellite in a complete orbit is zero.
For a satellite orbiting close to the surface of earth (h << R), the time period of revolution

A geostationary satellite revolves around the earth from west to east. Its period of revoluton
is one day i.e. 24 hours. The orbital velocity of geostationary satellite is 3.08 kms1. Its height
above the surface of earth is about 36000 km. The relative angular velocity of geostationary
satellite w.r.t earth is zero.
When a satelilte is orbiting in its orbit, no energy is required to keep it in its orbit.
When the total energy of a satellite is negative, it will be moving in either a circular or an elliptical
orbit.
When the total energy of a satellite is zero, it will escape away from its orbit and its path becomes
parabolic.
When the height of satellites is increased its potential energy will increase and K.E. will decrease.
When the velocity of satellite is increased, its total energy will increase and it will start orbiting
in a circular path of larger radius.
For a satellite orbiting in a circular orbit, the value of potenial energy is always greater than
its K.E.
If the velocity of a satellite orbiting the earth is increased by 41.4% or its K.E. is doubled,
then it will escape away from the gravitational field of earth

When a body is projected horizontally with velocity v, from any height from the surface of earth,
then the following possibilities are there.
(i) If v < v0, the body fails to revolve around the earth and finally falls to the surface of earth.
(ii) If v = v0, the body will revolve around the earth in circular orbit.
(iii) If v < ve the body will revolve around the earth in elliptical orbit.
(iv) If v = ve, the body will escape from the gravitational field of earth.
(v) If v > ve the body will escape, following a hyperbolic path.

SUMMARY
Surface tension of a liquid is measured by the force
acting per unit length on either side of an imaginary line
drawn on the free surface of liquid, the direction of this
force being perpendicular to the line and tangential to
the free surface of liquid. So if F is the force acting on
one side of imaginary line of length l. then T = Fl.

It depends only on the nature of liquid and is independent of the area of surface or length of line
considered.
It is a scalar as it has a unique direction which is not to be specified.

Force Due to Surface Tension

If a body of weight W is placed on the liquid surface, whose surface tension is T, and if F is the
minimum force required to pull it away from the water then value of F for different bodies can be
calculated by the following table.

Examples of Surface Tension :

When mercury is split on a clean glass plate, it forms
globules. Tiny globules are spherical on the account of
surface tension because force of gravity is negligible. The
bigger globules because force of gravity is negiligible. The
bigger globules get plattened from the middle but have
round shape near the edges.

196

2.

When a molten metal is poured into water from a

suitable height, the falling stream of metal breaks up
and the detached portion of the liquid in small quantity
acquire the spherical shape.

3.

Rain drops are spherical in shape because each drop tends to acquire minimum surface area due to
surface tension, and for a given volume, the surface area of sphere is minimum.
Oil drop spreads on cold water. Whereas it may remain as a drop on hot water. This is due to the
fact that the surface tension of oil is less than that of cold water and is more than that of hot water.
If a small irregular piece of camphor is floated on the surface of pure water, it does not remain steady
but dances about on the surface. This is because, irregular shaped camphor dissolves unequally and
decreases the surface tension of the water locally. The unbalanced forces make it to move haphazardly
in different directions.
Take a frame of wire and dip it in soap solution
and take it out, a soap film will be formed in the
frame. Place a loop of wet thread gently on the
film. It will remain in the form, we place it on the
film according to figure.
Now, piercing the film with a pin at any point
inside the loop, It immediately takes the circular
from as shown in figure.
When a greased iron needle is placed genetly on the surface of
water at rest, so that it does not prick the water surface, the needle
floats on the surface of water despite it being heavier because the
weight of needle is balanced by the vertical components of the forces
of surface tension. If the water surface is pricked by one end of the
needle, the needle sinks down.
Hair of shaving brush / painting brush when dipped in
water spread out, but as soon as it is taken out, its hair
stick together.

Factors affecting surface tension

Temperature :
The surface tension of liquid decreases with rise of temperature. The surface tension of liquid is zero
at its boiling point and it vanishes at critical temperature. At critical temperature, intermolecular
forces for liquid and gases becomes equal and liquid can expand without any restriction. For small
temperature differences, the variation in surface tenstion with temperature is linear and is given by
the relation.
197

Tt T0 1 t
Where Tt and TO are the surface tensions at tOc and 0OC respectively and is the temperature
coefficient of surface tension.
Examples :
(i)
Hot soup tastes better than the cold soup.
(ii)

Machinery parts get jammed in winter.

2.

Impurities :
The presence of impurities either on the liquid surface or dissolved in it, considerably affect the
surface tension, depending upon the degree of contamination. A highly soluble substance like sodium
chloride when dissolved in water, increases the surface tension of water. But the sparingly soluble
substances like phenol when dissolved in water, decreases the surface tension of water.
Applications of Surface Tension

1.

2.

The oil and grease spots on cloths cannot be removed be pure water. On the other hand, when
detergents (like soap) are added in water, the surface tension of water decreases. As a result of this,
wetting power of soap solution increases. Also the force of adhesion between soap solution and oil
or grease on the clothes increases. Thus, Oil, grease and dirt particles get mixed with soap solution
easily. Hence, clothes are washed easily.
Surface tension of all lubricating oils and paints is kept low so that they spread over a large area.

3.

A rough sea can be calmed by pouring oil on its surface.

4.

In soldering, addition of 'flux' reduces the surface tension of molten tin, hence, it spreads.
Molecular Theory of Surface Tension
The maximum distance upto which the force of attraction between
two molecules is appriciable is called molecular range 109 m .
A sphere with a molecule as centre and radius equal to molecular
range is called the sphere of influence. The liquid enclosed between
free surface (PQ) of the liquid and an imaginary plane (RS) at a
distance r (equal to molecular range) from the free surface of the
liquid form a liquid film.
To understand the concept of tension acting on the free surface of a liquid, let us consider four liquid
molecules like A, B, C and D. Their sphere of influence are shown in the figure.
Molecule A is well within the liquid, so it is attracted equally in all directions. Hence the net force on
this molecule is zero and it moves freely inside the liquid.
Molecule B is little below the free surface of the liquid and it is also attracted equally in all directions.
Hence the resultant force acting on it is also zero.
Molecule C is just below the upper surface of the liquid film and the part of its sphere of influence is
outside the free liquid surface. So the number of molecules in the upper half (attracting the molecules
upward) is less than the number of molecule in the lower half (attracting the molecule downward).
Thus the molecule C experiences a net downward force.
Molecule D is just on the free surface of the liquid. The upper half of the sphere of influence has no
liquid molecule. Hence the molecule D experiences a maximum downward force.

198

Thus all molecules lying on surface film experiences a net downward force. Therefore, free surface
of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane.
Surface Energy :
The potential energy of surface molecules per unit area of the surface is called surface energy.
Unit :

Dimension : ML2

Suppose that the sliding wire LM is moved through a

small distance x, so as to take me position . L M . In
this process, area of the film increases by 2 x (on

i.e. Surface tension may be defined as the amount of work done in increasing the area of the liquid
surface by unity against the force of surface tension at constant temperature.

Splitting of Bigger Drop :
When a drop of radius R splits into n smaller drops, (each of radius r) then surface area of liquid
increases. Hence the work is to be done against surface tension.

Excess Pressure :
Due to the property of surface tension a drop or bubble tends to contract and so compresses the
matter enclosed. This in turn increases the internal pressure which prevents further contraction and
199

equilibrium is achieved. So in equilibrium the pressure inside a bubble or drop is greater than outside
and the difference of pressure between two sides of the liquid surface is called excess pressure.
Excess pressure in different cases is given in the following table :

Shape of liquid meniscus :

When a capillary tube is dipped in a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the point of
contact. This curved surface is due to the resultant of two force i.e. the force of cohesion and the
force of adhesion. The curved surface of the liquid is called meniscus of the liquid.
If liquid molecule A is in the contact with solid. (i.e. wall of capillary tube) then forces acting on
molecule A are

(ii) Force of cohesion FC

Angle of contact :
Angle of contact between a liquid and a solid is defined as the angle enclosed between the tangents
to the liquid surface and the solid surface inside the liquid, both the tangents being drawn at the point
of contact of the liquid with the solid.
Capillarity :
If a tube of very narrow bore is dipped in a liquid, it is found that the liquid in the capillary either
ascends or descends relative to the surrounding liquid. This phenomenon is called capillarity.
The root cause of capillarity is the difference in pressure on two sides of (concave and convex)
curved surface of liquid.

(i)
Ink rises in the fine pores of bloting paper leaving the paper dry.
(ii) A towel soaks water.

Hooke's Law and Modulus of Elasticity :

According to this Law, within the elastic limit, stress is proportional to the strain.
i.e. stress strain

Stress
= E = constant
Strain

The constant E is called the modulus of elasticity.

There are three modulii of elasticity namely (i) Young's
modulus (y), (ii) Bulk modulus (B), and modulus of rigidity
(), responding to three types of the strain.

Bulk Modulus :
When a solid or fluid (liquid or gas) is subjected to a uniform pressure all over the surface, such that
the shape remains the same, then there is a change in volume.
Then the ratio of normal stress to the volumetric strain within the elastic limits is called as Bulk
modulus. This is denoted by K.

Thermal Expansion :
When matter is heated without any change in its state it usually expands. According to atomic theory
of matter, a symmetry in potential energy curve is responsible for thermal expansion. As energy of
atoms increases, hence the average distance between the atoms increases. So the matter as a whole
expands.
Thermal expansion is minimum in case of solids but maximum in case of gases because intermolecular
force is maximum in solids but minimum in gases.
Solids can expand in one dimension (linear expansion) two dimensions (superficial expansion) and
three dimensions (volume expansion) While liquids and gases usually suffer change in volume only.
Heat :
The form of energy which is exchanged among various bodies or system on account of temperature
difference is defined as heat.
We can change the temperature of a body by giving heat (temperature rises) or by removing heat
(temperature falls) from body.
Heat is a scalar quantity. It's units are joule, erg, cal, kcal etc.
1 kcal = 1000 cal = 4186 J and 1 cal = 4.18 J

Elastic behaviour :
The propertory of matter by virture of which a body
tends to regain its original shape and size after the removal of
deforming force is called elasticity.
In solids, atoms and molecules are arranged in such a
way that each molecule is acted upon by the forces due to
heighbouring molecules. These forces are known as
intermolecular forces.
For simplicity, the two molecules in their equilibrium positions (at inter-molecular distance
r = r0) are shown by connecting them with a spring.
In fact, the spring connecting the two molecules represents the inter-molecular force between
them on applying the deforming forces, the molecules either come closer or go far apart from each
other and restoring forces are developed. When the deforming force is removed, these restoring
forces bring the molecules of the solid to their respective equilibrium position (r = r0) and hence the
body regains its original form.
Thermal Capacity :
It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the remperature of the whole body (mass m)
through 10C or 1K.
Q

The value of thermal capacity of a body depends upon the nature of the body and its mass.

Principle of Calorimetry :
Calorimetry means 'measuring heat'.
When two bodies (one being solid and other liquid or both being liquid) at different temperatures are
mixed, heat will be transfered from body at higher temperature to a body at lowe temperature till
both acquire same temeprature. The body at higher temperature releases heat while body at lower
temeprature absorbs it, so that
Heat lost = Heat gained
i.e., Principle of calorimetry represents the law of conservation of heat energy.
Thermometry :
A branch of science which deals with the measurement of temperature of a substance is known as
thermometry.
Phase change :
We use the term phase to describe a specific state of matter, such as solid, liquid or gas. A
transtion from one phase to another is called a phase change.
For any given pressure a phase change takes place at a definite temperature, usually
accompanied by absorption or emission of heat and a change of volume and density.
In phase change 10ce at 00C melts into water at 00C. Water at 1000C boils to form steam at
1000C.
Streamline flow :
Stream line flow of a liquid is that flow in which each element of the liquid passing through a
point travels along the same path and with the same velocity as the preceding element passes through
that point.
A streamline may be defined as the path, straight or
curved, the tangent to which at any point gives the direction
of the flow of liquid at that point.
The two streamlines cannot cross each other and
the greater is the crowding of streamlines at a place, the
greater is the velocity of liquid particles at that place.
Laminar Flow :
If a liquid is flowing over a horizontal surface with a steady flow and moves in the form of
layers of different velocities which do not mix with each other, then the flow of liquid is called laminar
flow.
In this flow, the velocity of liquid flow is always less than the critical velocity of the liquid. The
laminar flow is generally used synonymously with streamlined flow.
Turbulent flow :
When a liquid, moves with a velocity greater than
its critical velocity, the motion of the particles of liquid
become disordered or irregular. Such a flow is called a
turbulent flow.
In a turbulent flow, the path and the velocity of the particles of the liquid change continuously
and haphazardly with time from point to point. In a turbulent flow, most of the external energy
205

maintaining the flow is spent in producint eddies in the liquid and only a small fraction of energy is
available for forward flow.
Critical velocity :
The critical velocity is that velocity of liquid flow upto which its flow is streamlined and above
which its flow becomes turbulent.
Reynold's number :
Reynold's number is a pure number whichdetermines the nature of flow of liquid through a
pipe.

as the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed a drop forms at the opening od the dropper we wish
to estimate the size of the drop. We dirst assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical
because the requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size we calculate the
net vertical force due to surface tension T when the radius od the drop is R. When this force
becomes smaller than the weight of the drop the drop gets detched from the dropper.

Hence when the tube is of insufficient length radius of curvature of the liquid meniscus increasses so
as to maintain the product hR a finite constant.
i.e. as h decreases R increases and the liquid meniscus becomes more and more flat but the liquid
does not overflow.
The presence of impurities either on the liquid surface or dissolved in it considerably affect the force
of surface tension depending upon the degree of surface tension depending upon the degree of
contamination. A highly soluable substance like sodium chioride when dissolved in water increase
the surface tension. But the sparing soluable or substance like phenol when dissolved in water
reduces the surface tension of water.
We know that the intermolecular distance between the gas moleculas is Large as compaired to that
of liquid Due to it the forces of cohesion in the gas moleculas are very small and these are quite
Large for liquids. Therefor the concept of surface tension is applicable to Liquid but not to gasses.
The height of capillary rise is inversly propostional to radius (or diametre) of capillary tube

When a drop of Liquid is poured on a glass, plate, the shape of the drop also is governed the force
of gravity for every small drops the potential energy due to gravity is insignification. Compared to
that due to surface tention. Hence, in this case the shape of the drop is determined by sufrace tension
alone and drope becomes spherical.

239. Initially on heating temprature rises from -100 C to 00 C Then ice melt and temprature does not rise
After the whole ice has melted temprature begins to rise until reaches 1000 C Then it becomes
constant as at the boiling point will not rise.
240. Density of water is maximum at 40 C and is less on either side of this temprature.

Assertion & Reason

241. With rise in pressure melting point of ice decreases also ice contracts on melting.
242. Celsius scale was the first temprature scale and fahrenheit is the smallest unit measuring temprature.
243. Melting is associated with increasing of internal energy without change in temprature in view of the
reason being correct the amount of heat absorbed or given out during change of state is expressed
where m is the mass of the substances and L is the latent heat of the substance.
244. If bath assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
245. The potential energy of water molecules is more. The heat given to melt the ice at 00C used up in
increasing the potentical energy of water molecules formed at 00 C
246. Water has maximum density at 40 C on heating above 40 C or cooling below 40C density of water
decreases and its volume increases. Therefore water overflows in both the cases.

Assumption of Ideal gases (or kinetic theory of gases)

Kinetic theory of gases relates the macroscopic properties of gases (such as pressure, temperature
etc.) to the microscopic properties of the gas molecules (such as momentum, speed, kinetic
enengy of molecule etc.)
Assumptions:
1.
Gas is made up of tiny particles, These particles are called molecules of the gas.
2.
The molecules of a gas are identical, spherical, rigid and perfectly elastic point masses.
3.
The molecules of a gas perform incessant random motion.
4.
The molecules of a gas follow Newton's laws of motion.
5.
The number of molecules in a gas is very large.
6.
The volume of molecules is negligible in comparision with the volume of gas.
291

7.
8.

Inter molecular forces act only when two molecules come close to each other or collide.
The time spent in a collision between two moleules is negligible in comparision to time
between two successive collisions. The collisions between the molecules and between a
molecule and the wall of a container are elastic.

Degrees of Freedom :
The term degrees of freedom of a molecule or gas are the number of independent motions that
a molecule or gas can have.
The independent motion of a system can be translational, rotational or vibrational or any combination
of these.

Ocsillations And
Waves

SUMMARY
1.

Waves : The motion of the disturbance in the medium (or in free space) is called wave pulse or
generally a wave.

2.

Amplitude of a wave : Amplitude of oscillation of particles of the medium is called the amplitude of
a wave.

3.

Wavelength and frequency : The linear distance between any two points or particles having phase
difference of 2 rad is called the wavelength () of the wave.
Frequency of wave is just the frequency of oscillation of particles of the medium. Relation between
wavelength and frequency :

v = f, =

where, v is the speed of wave in the medium.

k

4.

Mechanical waves : The waves which require elastic medium for their transmission are called
mechanical waves, e.g. sound waves.

5.

Transverse and longitudinal waves : Waves in which the oscillations are in a direction perpendicular
to the direction of wave propagation are called the transverse wave.
Waves in which the oscillations of the particles of medium are a!cng the direction of wave propagation
are called longitudinal waves.

6. Wave Equation : The equation which describe the displacement for any particle of medium at a required
time is called wave equation. Various forms of wave equations are as follows :

t x

T

(ii) y A sin

(i) y A sin (t - kx)

(iii) y A sin 2 t

(iv) y A sin

vt x

The above equations are for the wave travelling in the direction of increasing value of x. If the wave
is travelling in the direction of decreasing value of x then put '+' instead of '' in above equations.
7.

The elasticity and inertia of the medium are necessary for the propagation of the mechanical waves.

8.

The speed of the transverse waves in a medium like string kept under tension, v
where, T = Tension in the string and (I = mass per unit length of the string -- y

9.

Speed of sound waves in elastic medium, v

where, E = Elastic constant of a medium, = Density of the medium.

Speed of longitudinal waves in a fluid, v

322

Cp

where, B Bulk modulus of a medium y

CV

= 1.41 (for air)

Speed of longitudinal waves in a linear medium like a rod, v

where, = Young modulus, = Density of a medium

At constant pressure and constant humidity, speed of sound waves in gas is directly proportional to
the square root of its absolute temperature.

RT
v
M

The speed of sound in a gas does not depend on the pressure variation.
10.

Principle of Superposition : When a particle of medium comes under the influence of two or more
waves simultaneously, its net displacement is the vector sum of displacement that could occur under
the influence of the individual waves.

11.

Stationary Waves : When two waves having same amplitude and frequency and travelling in mutually
opposite directions are superposed the resultant wave formed loses the property of propagation. Such
a wave is .called a stationary wave.
Equation of stationary wave : y = 2 A sinkx cos t
Amplitude of stationary wave : 2 A sin kx
Position of nodes in stationary wave xn =

n

where, n = 1,2, 3.....At all these points the amplitude is zero.

Position of antinodes in stationary wave's,
xn = (2n 1)

where , n 1, 2, 3,....

The amplitude of all these points is 2A.

Doppler Effect : Whenever there is a relative motion between a source of sound and a listener with
respect to the medium in which the waves are propagating the frequency of sound experienced by the
listener is different from that which is emitted by the source. This phenomenon is called Doppler
effect.

17. If a body repeats its motion along a certain path, about a fixed point, at a definite interval of time, it is
said to have periodic motion.
18.

If a body moves to and fro, back and forth, or up and down about a fixed point in a fixed interval of
time, such a motion is called an oscillatory motion.

19.

When a body moves to and fro repeatedly about an equilibrium position under a restoring force, which
is always directed towards equilibrium position and whose magnitude at any instant is directly
proportional to the displacement of the body from the equilibrium position of that instant then such a
motion is known as simple harmonic motion.

20.

The maximum displacement of the oscillator on cither side of mean position is called amplitude of the
oscillator.

21.

The time taken by the oscillator to complete one oscillation is known as periodic time or time period or
period (T) of the oscillator.

22.

The number of oscillation completed by the simple harmonic oscillator in one second is known as its
frcquency(f).

The was decreases the frequency of unknown fork. The possible unknown frequencies are, (288+4)

question. This frequency is ruled out. Wax reduces 292 Hz and so beats should decrease. It is
given that the beats decrease from 2 to 4. Hence the unknown fork has frequency 292 Hz.
consider option (a)

Stationary wave : Y = a sin (wt-kx) + a sin(wt+kx)

When x = 0, Y 0. The option is not acceptable
consider option (b)
stationary wave : Y = a sin (wt-kx) - a sin(wt+kx)
At x = 0, Y = 0. This option holds good.
Option (c) gives Y = 2a sin(wt - kx)
At x = 0, Y 0
Option (d) gives Y = 0.
Hence option (b) holds good.

As the source is moving perpendicular to straight line joining the observer and source, (as if
moving along a circle), apparent frequency is not affected n1 = 0

As is clear from figure, at t = 0, x = 0, displacement-y = 0 Therefore option (A) OR (D) may be

correct. In case of (D) y = A sin (kx - wt)

i.e. particle velocity = - (wave speed) xslope and slope at x = 0 and t = 0 is positive, in figure
Therefore, particle velocity is in negative y - direction

At a displacement antinode, a pressure node is present. Since pressure does not change at its
node, nor does density.

y=A cos 1 t+A cos 2 t
y 0.10 cos (96t) cos (4t)
Between t = 0 and t = 1 s, Cos 96 t becomes zero 96times and cos 4 t becomes zero 4

Hence the resultant displacement Y at x = 0 becomes zero 100 times
between t = 0 and t = 15.
