C. 1. Objects which do not change their position with respect to time are said to be at rest. When we are sitting in a moving bus, all are at rest inside the bus with respect to the driver of the bus. But the trees outside are in motion with respect to the same driver inside the bus. Thus rest and motion are relative terms.

2. Vector quantities are important to us because they tell us direction as well as magnitude of a particular quantity. It can give us the exact location of a moving car.

3. Weight: It is the force with which the Earth attracts a body towards it.

The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on the Earth. So, on the moon, a body weighs 1/6th of its weight on the Earth.

4. Yes, an object that moves in a complete circle comes back to its position, then displacement is 0.

For example, motion of a pendulum.The example of Non periodic is children playing in the park. This motion does not repeat itself after a fi xed interval of time.

2. Scalar quantities: Scalar quantities represent only magnitude. They do not need direction. For example, mass, length, time, speed and temperature.

3. Spring balance: A spring balance measures the weight of an object which is directly suspended from the hook of the spring balance.The principle on which it works is that the extension produced in the spring is directly proportional to the gravitational force acting on it.

4. Curvilinear motion: If an object moves along a curved or circular path, its Motion is called curvilinear motion.For example, a car moving along a curved path.

5. Periodic motion: Periodic motion is a type of repetitive motion that takes place after regular intervals of time. For example, motion of a pendulum, motion of the Earth around the Sun.

6. Acceleration due to gravity: Acceleration due to gravity is the pull of gravity on objects on the surface of the Earth. The gravitational pull on the surface of the moon is one-sixth of that on the Earth.

E. 1. Weight: It is the force with which the Earth attracts a body towards it. The SI unit of weight is Newton. Weight varies from place to place.

Mass: Amount of matter contained in a body. SI unit of mass is kg. Mass is measured using a beam balance.

2. Scalar quantities: Scalar quantities represent only magnitude. They do not need direction. For example, mass, length, time, speed and temperature.

Vector quantities tell us direction as well as magnitude of a particular quantity. For example, it can give us the exact location of a moving car.

3. Uniform motion: When an object moves equal distances in equal intervals of time, the motion is uniform. For example, motion of planets around the Sun.

Non-uniform motion: When an object moves unequal distances in equal intervals of time, the motion is non- uniform. A car moving in crowded market place.

4. Distance: Total length of the actual path covered by a moving object, irrespective of its direction. It is a scalar quantity.

Displacement: Shortest distance travelled by an object from its initial position to its fi nal position in a particular direction. It is a vector quantity.

Speed of Light, Primary Colours, Formation of Secondary colours, Complementary Colours, Appearance of the Colour of an Object, Colour Subtraction– Students are shown a red rose, a green

leaf, the blackboard and the white wall of the classroom. They can be asked of why do these objects appear of that particular colour to them? Which property of light gives them that particular colour? Responses of the students are listed.

– They are told that Sir Isaac Newton was the fi rst scientist who discovered through experiments that white light is composed of seven colours. He used a prism to split white light into seven colours in the order of VIBGYOR, which stands for violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. It is one or a combination of these

colours which gives an object its specifi c colour.

– Show a glass prism to the students and hold it at a certain angle to obtain a spectrum.

– The concept of primary and secondary colours is explained to the students by making a colour disc.

– In this activity the students are separated into groups and asked to cut out a circle of cardboard or thermocole, divide it into seven sections and paint each section with the seven colours of the rainbow. A hole is pierced in the centre of the colour discs and they are made to rotate with great speed. What the students will observe is a white circle instead of the seven colours they had painted. This proves that white light is composed of seven colours.

– The three blades of the fan can be painted red, blue and green which on rotation would give white colour. Thus red, blue and green are called primary colours.

b. The incident ray, the refl ected ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

4. Any smooth, polished surface which can refl ect back the rays of light incident on it is a refl ecting surface.

5. When the right side of the image in a plane mirror appears to be the left side, it is called lateral inversion.

6. Real image: Inverted and can be formed on a screen.

Virtual image: Erect and cannot be formed on a screen.

7. A pigment is an optically active substance which absorbs most of the colours of white light and selectively refl ects one or more colours.

C. 1. Terms related to refl ection of light,

a. Incident ray: A light ray falling on a refl ecting surface is called an incident ray.

b. Normal: A line drawn perpendicular to the refl ecting surface at the point of incidence.

c. Refl ected ray: A ray of light which returns back to the same medium after striking the refl ecting surface.

d. Angle of incidence: The angle between the incident ray and the normal.

e. Angle of refl ection: The angle between the refl ected ray and the normal.

2. The colour of an object in different light can be determined by the method of colour subtraction. For example,a ball that is made of a material which absorbs red colour will appear cyan to the players. When we subtract red colour from white light, we get cyan according to the equation,

White light – Red

(Red + blue + green) – Red

Red gets cancelled. What remains is (blue + green)

Blue + green = Cyan.

So the ball appears cyan colour. Another name for cyan is peacock blue.

2. Conversion of one form of energy into another is called energy transformation.

For Eg. Green plants use solar energy for photosynthesis. They store the food prepared in the form of chemical energy.

Electrical energy is used to operate countless appliances at home. It is also used to light up our homes. Coal, petroleum and natural gas are called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels store energy in the form of chemical energy which is used to move vehicles, used as domestic fuel and provide heat energy.

3. A spring balance measures the weight of an object which is directly suspended from the hook of the spring balance. The pointer shows the weight of the object directly. The principle on which it works is that the extension produced in the spring is directly proportional to the gravitational force acting on it.

4. On a sheet of white paper draw a line MM’ representing the mirror surface. Mark a point O at a distance of 3cm in front of the line MM’.

Draw two incident rays on the mirror surface. At the point of incidence draw two perpendiculars as shown in the diagram. Draw the refl ected rays and produce them backwards till they meet at point I. I is the image of the point object O. Measure distance OM and IM. OM = IM. (Diagram)

5. The colour of an object in different light can be determined by the method of colour subtraction. For eg. A ball that is made of a material which absorbs red colour will appear cyan to the players. When we subtract red colour from white light, we get cyan according to the equation, White light – Red

(Red + blue + green) – Red

Red gets cancelled. What remains is (blue + green)

Blue + green = Cyan.

So the ball appears cyan colour. Another name for cyan is peacock blue.

I. 1. The characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, erect, laterally inverted and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.

2. The object and the image are at equal distance from the mirror.

3. A virtual image cannot be obtained on the screen.

4. The rays of light are refl ected back. They are produced back to meet at a point to form the image behind the mirror.

PART 2

A 1. The degree of hotness or coldness of a body is called its temperature.

2. A Scottish engineer, mathematician and physicist, Lord Kelvin invented the Kelvin Scale.

3. Mercury

4. The molecular arrangement is different in solids, liquids and gases, hence expansion

is different.

5. Conduction occurs in metals. For example, metals and their alloys are used in making utensils.

6. We feel hot near a fi re.

7. Land and sea breeze. Water is always heated from below.

8. Plastic, wood

9. Copper and silver.

B 1. The warm air from the heater rises up, and the cool air of the room descends down to

take its place. Thus convection currents are set up and the whole room gradually gets heated.

2. Dark coloured clothes are worn in winter because they absorb heat and keep us warm.

3. Solar energy is easily available and cheap source of energy. Solar cells, solar cookers

and water heaters are specially designed to absorb maximum solar radiation without polluting the atmosphere.

4. The particles of a solid gain kinetic energy and the space between the particles increases slightly, hence solids expand on heating but to a very small extent. In other words expansion is negligible in solids.

5. This is because of unequal expansion of the inner and outer surface of the bottle. The outer surface contracts more than the inner surface on coming in contact with cold water.

6. Bimetallic strip is used to turn a pointer or close a switch. The thermostat switch is used in refrigerators, ovens and toasters to control the heat.

7. A glass fl ask fi tted with a capillary tube is initially fi lled with water. The level of water is noted and then the fl ask is heated over a burner. Water level gradually rises in the capillary tube showing liquids expand on heating.

C 1. In good conductors such as copper, silver and aluminium molecules are closely packed, vibrating about their mean position.When one end of the metal rod is heated the vibrating molecules collide with the neighbouring molecules and transfer a part of heat energy to them. In this way the neighbouring molecules start vibrating and heat is transferred from the

Page 42: 7 The Physics Science Orbit - SARASWATI HOUSE Material... · 2018. 7. 3. · 7. Density is mass per unit volume of a substance. B 1. Speed is the distance covered by a body in unit

4242

hot end of the metal rod to cold end. This happens without the transfer of molecules. Only energy is transferred. In insulators or bad conductors such as wood, paper, glass, etc., particles are farther apart. There is less chance of particles colliding and passing on the heat energy.

2. Conduction: A medium is required for transfer of heat by conduction. The process is slow.

Convection: A medium is needed for transfer of heat. The process is faster than conduction.

Radiation: Radiation occurs in vacuum.

It is the fastest process. Speed equal to the speed of light.

3. Metals and their alloys are used in making utensils. Copper wire is used to make electrical cables.

4. Refer Fig. 5.5 from the textbook.

5. Refer Fig. 5.9 from the textbook.

The cork stopper prevents heat loss by conduction. Silver coating reduces heat loss by radiation. Glass walls reduce heat loss by conduction. Vacuum reduces heat loss by conduction and convection.

6. Heat fl ows from a body at a higher temperature to a lower temperature till both bodies attain equal temperature. This is a state of thermal equilibrium.

7. Two effects of heat:

Fire: It is a rapid chemical change in which heat and light are produced. Certain infl ammable substances have low ignition temperature. Wood, coal, kerosene, Petrol, etc., burn easily and are called infl ammable substances.

Change in temperature: When a body is heated its temperature rises and when it is cooled its temperature decreases. The change in temperature depends on, (a) quantity of heat supplied, and (b) material of the body.

8. The Celsius scale has 100 equal divisions with 0°C being the freezing point of ice

and 100°C, the boiling point of water. The Fahrenheit scale has 180 equal divisions with 32°F as the lowest temperature corresponding to 0 °C on the Celsius scale and 212 °F as the highest temperature corresponding to 100 °C. The Fahrenheit scale is more accurate than the Celsius scale.

9. The Celsius and the Kelvin scale both have 100 equal divisions.

10. Infl ammable substances have low ignition temperature. Wood, coal, kerosene, Petrol, etc, burn easily and are called infl ammable substances.

11. Evaporation: It is a slow process. It takes place at all temperatures. Evaporation causes cooling.

Boiling: It is a quick process. It takes place at a fi xed temperature. It does not cause cooling.

D 1. Temperature: It is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

2. Conduction: Transfer of heat from one end of a metal rod such as copper or silver to the other end by the vibration of molecules of the medium which only transfer the heat energy but do not move themselves.

3. Insulators: Insulators such as wood, rubber, plastic, etc., are poor conductors. The particles do not gain enough kinetic energy to transfer the heat from one end to the farthest end.

4. Radiation: Transfer of heat energy that takes place without the movement of the medium particles, such as that in vacuum is called radiation. It is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves. For example, we feel hot under the Sun.

5. Heat energy: Heat is a form of energy that fl ows from one body to another due to the temperature difference between them. Heat energy is the sum total of the kinetic energy of all the molecules moving inside a body.

6. Conductors: Materials that allow heat to pass through them easily are known as

Page 43: 7 The Physics Science Orbit - SARASWATI HOUSE Material... · 2018. 7. 3. · 7. Density is mass per unit volume of a substance. B 1. Speed is the distance covered by a body in unit

4343

good conductors of heat. For example, iron, copper and silver are good conductors because the particles in them are close together.

7. Convection: In convection, heat is transferred by the actual movement of the particles of the medium. Convection occurs in liquids and gases only where the molecules are loosely packed and are free to move. Convection currents occur from bottom upwards.

E. 1. Black is a good absorber of heat, hence cooking utensils are blackened at the bottom.

2. The molecules in solids are tightly packed with hardly any intermolecular space between them. For convection to occur there should be large space between molecules.

3. Steam pipes are fi tted with loops called expansion joints. When steam or hot water is passed through these pipes, the loops allow the pipes to expand easily.

4. Oil tankers carry infl ammable substances such as petrol and diesel, during summer.The non-conducting material of the tanker minimises the loss of heat due to evaporation and prevents a fi re due to excessive heating of substances.

5. Woolen clothes do not allow our body heat to escape to the surroundings during winter due to trapped air between their pores. Air is a poor conductor of heat, hence it does not allow the body heat to escape.

F. 1. K = 100 + 273, = 373 K

2. K = 45 + 273, = 318 K

3. °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

= (100 × 9/5) + 32

= 180 + 32 = 212 °F

4. °C = (°F – 32) × 5/9 = (65 – 32) × 5/9

= 33 × 5/9 = 18.3 °C

5. °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

= (–40°C × 9/5) + 32= –40°F

6. K = 37 + 273 = 310 K

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to: learn the concept of source of a sound

understand the sound as a longitudinal wave

understand why sound requires a medium to propagate

understand the characteristics of a sound wave

learn the concept of refl ection and absorption of sound

know and learn the concept of relative speed of sound in different medium

6 Sound

Warm-upStudents are asked not to make noise because it is causing the teacher a headache. Too much sound can make one sick causing physical and mental disturbance. The soft music of a harmonium coming from the concert hall, is soothing and pleasant. Thus the difference between music and noise is explained. The teacher then stretches a rubber band between the two fi ngers and asks a student to give it a slight tug. Everyone notices that the rubber band begins to vibrate. The vibrations are so quick that it is impossible to perceive them as separate vibrations or even count them.

Students are told they are going to study ‘Sound’. They will understand the difference between music and noise.

Read the Warm-up section from the book. Use it to explain the concept of music and noise.

Concept Explanation

Sources of Sound, How Sound is Produced– A tuning fork struck against a rubber pad

is brought near the ear of some students. They can perceive the vibrations and hear a buzzing sound.

– Picture cards of water waves, traffi c sounds, children playing the guitar and a drum, playing the fl ute, etc. are shown to the class and the students are asked, what is one thing that is common to all the pictures shown.

– They arrive at the conclusion that it is ‘Vibrations’ that are responsible for all the sounds shown in the pictures.

– Read the related sections from the textbook.

Sound as a Longitudinal Wave, Sound Needs a Medium to Propagate, Characteristics of a Sound Wave– One student is asked to bring a slinky,

which is a long coil of very thin metal just like a spring.

– The slinky is pulled apart and pushed together like you would do to a spring. The teacher can explain longitudinal waves using the slinky. Where the air particles are close together it is compression and where they are far apart it is rarefaction. Such longitudinal waves occur in air.

– Read the related sections from the textbook.

Echoes, Sonar, Relative Speed of Sound in Different Mediums – The concept of echo can be explained

by taking the students to the school auditorium and to an open space where there is a large building in the background. They are asked to scream loudly and then silently asked to hear if there is any refl ected sound. In the auditorium there is no echo, because of sound absorbing material like, carpets, curtains and soft boards.

But out in the open they can clearly hear an echo. Conditions for an echo is then explained.

2. Conductors have a large number of free electrons moving across, transmitting electric charge. They allow electric current to pass through them. For example, copper, aluminium, iron, etc.

3. Electric bell: When the switch is on, an electric current fl ows through the electromagnet.

It attracts the soft iron strip. The hammer attached to the strip hits the gong, the bell rings. The connection with the screw is broken and the current stops fl owing. The electromagnet loses its magnetism, and the iron strip returns back to the screw. Once again the current starts fl owing, the electromagnet attracts the strip and the hammer strikes the gong. This continues till the switch is on and the bell continues to ring. (Refer Fig. 7.2 from the textbook).

4. Working of an dry cell: The chemical in a dry cell in the form of a solution or a semi

solid paste, is called an electrolyte. The positive and negative ions in the solution are responsible for the passage of electric current.

Closed circuit: The circuit that allows current to fl ow through it so that the electrical appliance connected to it works is called a closed or complete circuit.

4. Series circuit: When two or more bulbs are connected in series one after another, there is only one path for electrons to fl ow. Hence same current passes through each bulb. If one bulb fuses , the others do not glow. Two or three bulbs connected in series glow dim.

Parallel circuit: In a parallel circuit, there is more than one path for the electrons to fl ow. Each light bulb receives current from the battery. All of them light up as if each of the bulbs was connected separately to the battery. Thus, if any one bulb fuses,the others continue to glow with the same brightness. However the battery will be used up there as quickly.

5. Conductors: Conductors have a large number of free electrons moving across, transmitting electric charge. They allow electric current to pass through them easily. For example, copper, aluminium, iron, etc.

Insulators: Insulators have very few free electrons to transmit charge, hence they are also called bad conductors. For example, ebonite, fur, wood, distilled water, etc.

1. Switch Batt erySpring

Gong HammerElectromagnet

Soft iron armature

Working of an electric bell:

a. When you push the switch of the bell, an electric current fl ows through the electromagnet.

b. The electromagnet attracts the soft iron strip. The hammer attached to the strip then hits the gong, making it ring.

c. As the soft iron strip gets attached to the electromagnet, it does not touch the screw, and hence, the circuit is broken. This turns off the electromagnet and it can no longer attract the soft iron strip. The soft iron strip returns to its initial position and touches the screw. This results in the circuit being

completed and current starts fl owing again.

metal sheets and glass will refl ect sound waves.

Absorbers of sound: Materials that are rough and heavy such as carpets, curtains, sofa sets, bed linen etc are good absorbers of sound waves.

5. An echo is the sound heard after its refl ection from a rigid surface, such as a cliff or hillside, a wall or any obstructing surface. The minimum distance of the refl ecting surface from the source of sound should be 16.5 m for an echo to be heard.

6. Electric current is rate of fl ow of charge. SI unit of current is Ampere.

7. A resistor is a device that limits the fl ow of current or controls the current fl owing in a circuit.

H. 1. Working of an Electric bell: When the switch is on, an electric current fl ows through the electromagnet. It attracts the soft iron strip. The hammer attached to the strip hits the gong, the bell rings. The connection with the screw is broken and the current stops fl owing. The electromagnet loses its magnetism, and the iron strip returns back to the screw. Once again the current starts fl owing, the electromagnet attracts the strip and the hammer strikes the gong. This continues till the switch is on and the bell continues to ring.

2. Sound is produced when an object vibrates. Humans produce sound due to the vibrations of air in the vocal cords. Musical instruments like the guitar produce sound because of vibrations of its strings.

Sound waves in air produce alternate areas

of compression and rarefaction c a l l e d longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves travel along the direction of propagation of the wave particles and reach the ear of the listener to produce sound.

3. SONAR uses sound waves and has a transmitter and a detector to send and receive sound waves. A short sound signal is sent from the ship to the bottom of the sea with the help of a transmitter. After refl ection from the sea fl oor, the signal returns to the ship and is received by the detector. Knowing the speed of sound in sea water and the time taken to reach the bottom and return back, we can easily determine the depth of the sea and similarly shoals of fi sh.
