The other devices are used to measure current and potential difference in a circuit. 1 (i) Bar magnet : In the other devices, one form of energy is converted to another form of energy. 1 (8) (1) (© Displacement reaction : Whena more reactive element removes another element having less reactivity from its compound, the reaction is termed a displacement reaction. In the reaction of iron nails with copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from the copper sulphate solution. CuSO,(aq) + Fe(s) —> FeSOy(aq) + Cu(s) 1 Q) (a) Red litmus paper : Sodium hydroxide when dissolved in water undergoes the following reaction: NaOH(3) + aqs -» Na*(aq) + OH™(ag) The dissociated OH— ions turn moist red litmus paper blue. 1 @) (b) Current : When a potential difference is applied across a combination of resistors in series, the same current flows through each resistor. 1 (4) (d)10. cm: The image formed by a plane mirror is always of the same size as that of the object. 1 (©) (c) passes unbent : In this case, the angle of incidence (i) is zero and so also the angle of refraction. 1 2. (1) Gi) The potential difference between two points is said to be 1 volt if 1 joule of work is done in moving 1 coulomb of electric charge from one point to another. joule J) 1 volt V) = TSoulomb () 1 (ii) Electric power is the electric work done per unit time. Its SI unit is watt (W), lectric power (p) = Eletele work (W) eee ~ Time t) 1 Q) Air pollution has major effects on human health. They can be short-term effects or long-term effects. Short-term effects > Irritation of eyes, nose, mouth and throat > Infections of the respiratory tract such as bronchitis and pneumonia > Headache, nausea and allergy > Asthmatic attacks > Reduced lung functioning, Long-term effects : > Chronic pulmonary disease > Cardiovascular disease > Lung cancer > Premature death 141 @) Given : Focal length f= +2D 1 Power, Per f 11 fp : f=05m ‘The power of the corrective lens is 0.5.m. 2 (4) Applications of sodium bicarbonate : (i) Itis used to prepare light and spongy bread, cakes and dhoklas. (ii) Being alkaline, it helps reduce acidity in the stomach. (iil) Itis very useful in preparing CO, gas, and itis one of the contents of fire extinguishers. (Note : Write any two from the above points). ati (6) When an object is placed within the focal length of a simple microscope, its magnified and erect image is obtained on the same side of the lens as that of the object. So, a watch repairer sees the minute parts of a watch very clearly with a simple microscope by adjusting the distance between the object and the lens. This helps in repairing the watch. Hence, a simple microscope is used by watch repairers. 2© pH scale: The range of pH values: [Red Orange) Yolow,- Green Bie.

(1) Main features of Mendeleev’s periodic table : @ The horizontal rows in the periodic table are called periods. There are seven periods. These are numbered from 1 to 7. Gi) Properties of elements in a particular period show regular gradation from left to right, ii) Vertical columns in the periodic table are called groups. There are eight groups numbered from I to VII. Groups I to VII are further divided into A and B subgroups. 14191 (2) Redox reaction : When oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously in a given chemical reaction, it is known as a redox reaction. Example of a redox reaction : eduction BaSO, + 4C —> BaS + 4CO pee) Oxidation 142 (3) (@ The defect shown in the figure is hypermetropia or long-sightedness. Gi) Two possible reasons are (a) Ciliary muscles have become weak, so the converging power of the eye lens decreases, (©) Because of shortening of the eye ball or flattening of the eye lens. (ii) To correct the eye defect, a suitable convex lens is used. 1+141 (8) The phenomenon of a change in the direction of the propagation of ight when it pastes obliquely from one transparent medium to another is called refraction of light. Fora given angle of incidence, the extent of refraction of light is different in different media. > When the refractive index of the second medium is greater than the refractive index of the first medium, the refracted ray bends more towards the normal. > When the refractive index of the first medium is greater than the refractive index of the second medium, the refracted ray bends away from the normal. 1+1+1 (6) When white light passes through a glass prism, it spreads out into a band of different colours called the spectrum of light. R White ligt ‘Spectrum White light beam ‘Glass prism > When white light is dispersed into seven colours by a glass prism, different colours bend through different angles with respect to the incident ray. > The sequence of colours given by the prisms Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. > Of the seven colours, red light bends the least, while violet light bends the most. So, the rays of each colour emerge along different paths and appear distinct. Hence, we get a spectrum of seven different colours. wXx6 (©) Suggestive measures in the following situations : (To avoid noise pollution in the classroom : » When the teacher is not present in the classroom, all students should maintain silence and not shout loudly. > Activities such as book reading, solo singing or storytelling should be carried out so that the other students can maintain silence, > The monitors in the class who control the classroom should ask the teacher to punish the students who make a lot of noise. > Add curtains to the classroom.> Use cork bulletin boards for the walls. > Place sound-absorbent panels on the upper walls of the classroom. (@ The following practices should be adopted to minimise electricity consumption at home : > Switch off the fans, lights and bulbs when not in use. > Use of CFL should be encouraged. > Avoid using air conditioners whenever possible > Allow sunlight and fresh air to enter the house to reduce the use of electricity during the day time. > Use solar water heaters instead of electrical heaters. (ii) The following steps should be adopted to minimise the bursting of fire crackers in festivals and processions : > Bursting fire crackers should be strictly avoided because they cause noise and air pollution. > If necessary, noiseless crackers or eco-friendly variety of crackers can be used. > Fire crackers should not be burst near hospitals and other silence zones, > Bursting of fire crackers should be banned after 10 p.m. atti 4.

The child produced is a female or a daughter. > The combination of a Y chromosome from the male with one X chromosome from the female results in an offspring with genetic constitution XY. The child produced is a male or a son. >. The offspring produced are always in equal proportion, and hence, the chance of having a daughter or a son is 50%.8) @) 6) 6) 40 @ Isany git Baby oy Baby gt Bady boy i (aenoo teeny eaten) aan) _ "pring 2 ‘There are three different types of neurons—sensory neuron, motor neuron and association neuron. > Sensory neurons : They conduct nerve impulses from the sense organs to the brain and the spinal cord. > Motor neurons : They carry impulses from the brain and the spinal cord to the effector organs of the body such as muscles and glands. > Association neurons : They integrate the functions of the sensory and motor neurons. 14141 Reduce, reuse and recycle is the ‘three R mantra’. Itis an effective approach to eliminate waste and conserve resources. > Reduce : Using fewer resources helps in reducing their consumption, e.g. use of less paper and less plastic carry bags. > Reuse : Using things again rather than throwing them after using them only once is called reuse, e.g plastic jars can be reused for storing salt and food grains. > Recycle : The process in which substances which are used before are put back into process to make new items is called recycling, e.g. used and discarded plastics, glass, paper and metal are sent to the respective industries where they can be converted to other useful products such as lampshades and handbags. “three R mantra’ : All three processes cut down the amount of energy used for producing new items. They also reduce the pollution during the process. Thus, natural resources are conserved. 2+1 Metal A with electronic configuration (2, 8, 1) is more reactive than metal B with electronic configuration (2, 8, 8, 2). This is because the metal A can lose its one electron more easily as compared to metal B with two electrons. ‘Metal A = Sodium ‘Metal B = Calcium 1+1+1 Large family size generally affects individual life and community life.
