FARMERS FILL THEIR FIELDS WITH WATER.

Farmers fill their crop fields with water to protect from frost: why?

Water has high specific heat capacity so it delays the surrounding temperature to fall to zero degree Celsius ,thus protecting the crops from frost

FOMENTATION

Why is water used in fomentation ?

Water has high specific capacity due to which it cools slowly and imparts large amount of heat to our body.

Why are there only two types of electric charges?

There are two types of charges because we can establish charges only by loss or gain of electrons present in the orbits of an atom. 

By losing electrons  a body gets positively charged and by gaining electrons it gets negatively charged. 

Electron is the fundamental charge. It's taken as negatively charged. 

Why do you need moisturising cream in winter season?

 Q. Why do you need moisturising cream in winter season?

Answer: As the humidity is low in winter season where there is no winter rainfall, skin loses water due to evaporation and has tendency to dry quickly. To prevent this we need moisturising cream.

TRIBO-ELECTRIC SERIES

 TRIBO-ELECTRIC SERIES 

The series in which the substances are arranged according to their tendency to lose or gain electrons on rubbing each other. The higher the position of the substance, it has the tendency to lose electrons and to gain positive charge on rubbing.

The series of common substances  follows,

Air

Human hair

Rabbit's fur

Glass

Hair

Silk

Paper

Cotton

Steel

Wood

Amber

Rubber balloon

Plastic wrap

Ebonite

Example:

When glass rod is rubbed with silk, the rod loses electrons and get positively charged whereas silk gains electrons from the rod and gets negatively charged. Please check the position of glass in relation with silk. Glass is placed above silk.

Longitudinal and Transverse Waves

 LONGITUDINAL WAVES

The waves in which the particles of a medium vibrate in the  direction of propagation of wave are called a longitudinal wave.

These waves propagate in the form of compressions and rarefactions.

Example: Sound waves in air.

TRANSVERSE WAVES

The waves in which the particles particles of a medium vibrate in the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves are called transverse waves.

These waves propagate in the form of Crests and troughs 

Example: water ripples

PRESSURE COOKING

 QUESTION 

Why is food cooked quickly in a pressure cooker ?

Boiling:

 The process in which a liquid changes into gaseous state at a constant temperature and pressure is called boiling. 

Example: water boils at 100°C to change into steam.

Boiling  point:

The temperature at which boiling takes place at a given pressure is called boiling point. 

Example: The boiling point of water is 100°C. 

Boiling of  a liquid starts when the vapour pressure of the liquid heated is equal to the air pressure above the liquid surface. If we can increase the pressure above the liquid surface then boiling is  delayed and hence the boiling point is increased. 

So, when steam is retained inside the cooker, boiling point of the liquid increases to 120-125°C.

As the food is cooked at higher temperature in the pressure vessel, it is cooked easily and quickly.

PRISM and ANGLE OF PRISM

 PRISM

Prism is a transparent retracting medium bounded by at least two plane surfaces inclined at a certain angle.

ANGLE OF PRISM

The angle between two retracting surfaces of a prism is called angle of prism.

ANGLE OF DEVIATION

The angle between the direction of incident ray and the emergent ray is called angle of deviation. 

The angle of deviation depends on

1. Angle of incidence. 

With the increase in the angle of incidence , the angle of deviation first decreases ,then reach a minimum value then it also increases.

2.Refractive index of the material of the prism.

With the increase in the refractive index angle of deviation increases.

3. Colour o wavelength  of light 

With the increase in wavelength of light used, the angle of deviation decreases . Red is deviated the least and violet the most. 

4. Angle of prism or thickness of the prism 

The angle of deviation increases with increase in the  the angle of  de prism.

PASCAL'S LAW

 PASCAL'S LAW:

The pressure exerted at any point in a confined liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all direction throughout the liquid.

Pressure at a point in a liquid =F/A, Pressure at any other point in the liquid=F'/A'

As pressure is transmitted equally,   F/A=F'/A'

Applications

1.Hydraulic press.

2. Hydraulic lift.

3.  Hydraulic brakes.

CRITICAL ANGLE FOR DIFFERENT COLOURS OF LIGHT

 CRITICAL ANGLE:

The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium for which the angle of refraction in the rarer medium is 90°.

FACTORS:

The critical angle of a medium depends on

1. The relative refractive index of the denser medium with respect to the rarer medium. Greater the refractive index, smaller the critical angle. 

For example: refractive index of glass is 1.5, critical angle is 42° and for diamond, refractive index is 2.4, the critical angle is 24°

2. The colour(wavelength) of the light. Longer the wavelength, greater  is the the value of the critical angle.

For example:  Red has longest wavelength among seven colours, so it has maximum value of the critical angle for a medium.
