A divergent lens has a focal length of 20cm.at what distance should an object of height 4cm from the optical centre of the lens be placed so that its image is formed 10cm away from the lens.find the size of the image also

Posted by BAIJU JOSEPH (Jan 18, 2017) (Question ID: 1449)

• Ans. Distance between the object and the lens (u )= -10cm
Focal length (f) = 20 cm
Distance between the image and the lens v = ?

Using Lens Formula

=>

=>

=>

=>

=> v = -20 cm

The image is formed on the same side as the object and since v is negative the image is erect and virtual and is formed at a distance 20 cm in front of the lens.

We know that

height of the object ho = 4 cm

=>

=>

=>

height of image = 8 cm

How do we come to know that which compound of carbon will make how much isomets and which rule do we follow while the making structure of an isomers?

Posted by Israr Khan (Jan 16, 2017) (Question ID: 1408)

• Isomerism is possible only with hydrocarbons having 4 or more carbon atoms, because only then we can have two or more different arrangements of carbon atoms.

No isomerism is possible in methane,ethane and propane because they contain only one,two or three carbon atoms respectively. Two isomers of the compound butane (C4H10) are possible and three isomers of compound pentane (C5H12) are possible. As the number of carbon atoms in an alkane molecule increases, the number of possible isomers increases rapidly.

Evolution in organism is beneficial but how

Posted by Israr Khan (Jan 16, 2017) (Question ID: 1407)

• Evolution is good for life. Being able to adapt to the environment, as it is or if it changed, is how we ended here after all this millions or billions of years.

Evolution is also not something that happens in the life of an individual, but through generations, and usually in a gradual way, specially to reach something that an arbitrary line said that it is a different species.

And being the criteria for being sucessful, with evolution or without it (change always happen with enough time, be visible or not, but your species don't dissapear if is already very well adapted to the environment, just spawn different ones) is to live. What wasn't successful are species that weren't able to adapt or to evolve and end here in a way or another. Life is the evolution goal, not smarter, faster, stronger or nimbler, just survivor.

Why sun appears to be red in evening and morning?

Posted by Israr Khan (Jan 16, 2017) (Question ID: 1404)

• At the time of sunrise and sunset when the sun is near the horizon,the sunlight has to travel the greatest distance through the atmosphere to reach us. During this long journey of sunlight, most of the shorter wavelength blue-color present in it is scattered out and away from our line of sight. So,the light reaching us directly from the rising sun consists mainly of longer wavelength red color due to which the sun appears red. Thus,at sunrise and sunset,the sun itself as well as the surrounding sky appear red.

Answered by Shweta Gulati (Jan 16, 2017)
Thanks (0)
• During sunrise and sunset, the sun is at the farthest position. Here blue light gets scattered off and the red light, due to its larger wavelength, can travel a longer distance and hence reach our eyes. This we see the sun red.

Why does sperm produce in lower temp.than our body?

Posted by Israr Khan (Jan 16, 2017) (Question ID: 1395)

• There is a thing called 'maturing'. Sperms are not produced at the time of ejaculation. Actually it will be produced for days. After that they will mature gradually. This maturing process needs a very careful handling. This needs many essential things like vitamins,hormones,proper temperature range,etc. Within the body, temperature controlling is not advisable, because some organs need heat for their proper functioning. Especially for a male many of his organs work good in elevated temperatures. So, the body is having a convenient place to grow the sperms thereby the outside, where it can keep the required temperature without affecting the major organs.

Heat is a factor that can cause great damage to DNA. In the testes where spermatogenesis (sperm meiosis) occurs you definitely do not want DNA damage occurring during or after this process as it could have devestating effects for the offspring. Hence, in a warm blooded human the testes are dropped from the body.

• Biodegradable wastes decompose over time period but non -biodegradable not decompose over long time period

Posted by raman SINGH (Jan 15, 2017)
•

Biodegradable wastes are such waste materials which are and can be degraded by natural factors like microbes (e.g. bacteria, fungi and few more), abiotic elements like temperature, UV, oxygen, etc. Some examples of such wastes are food materials, kitchen wastes and other natural wastes

Non-biodegradable cannot be easily handled. Non-biodegradable wastes are those who cannot be decomposed or dissolved by natural agents. They remain on earth for thousands of years without any degradation. Hence the threat caused by them is also more critical. A notable example is the plastics which are a commonly used material in almost every field.

Cause of lateral inversion

Posted by Jagruti Patel (Jan 14, 2017) (Question ID: 1353)

• The phenomenon of lateral inversion is neither limited to plane mirrors nor mirrors too. It is a manifestation of a basic property of matter called symmetry and an in depth discussion of which is beyond the scope of X level physics.

However, let us understand qualitatively. Take a coin’s head facing you and start rotating it; after you give a complete rotation to the coin you can see the head again. Now, rotate the coin 180 , what you see will be the tail. Now if the coin were transparent you would have seen a laterally inverted image of the head. Similarly, take a tracing paper and draw a B on it then see it through the other side of the paper. You’ll see a laterally inverted B. Thus, we conclude that after rotating a body it appears same if we rotate it by 360 and appears laterally inverted if we rotate it by 180 .

So viewing an object in a mirror is actually viewing at its 180 rotated state. This is the source of lateral inversion.

Reaction when ethane reacts with chlorine

Posted by Arvind Thakur (Jan 13, 2017) (Question ID: 1349)

• Ethane reacts with chlorine by free radical halogenation in the presence of sunlight.

In the presence of sunlight, Cl2 breaks down (homolytically) to form two chlorine radicals. This is the initiation step. I will use the * symbol to indicate a radical, in fact this should be expressed using a superscript dot.

Cl2 => 2Cl*

The generated chlorine radical can then react with ethane to give an ethane radical (C2H5*) and HCl.
C2H6 + Cl* => C2H5* + HCl

The ethane radical then reacts with another molecule of chlorine to generate the initial halogenated product and another chlorine radical which can react again. This is the propagation step.
C2H5* + Cl2 => C2H5Cl + Cl*

The newly generated chlorine radical can now either react with another molecule of ethane (as above) or react with the halogenated product to give further halogenated products:
C2H5Cl + Cl* => C2H4Cl2

If a concave mirror has a focal length of 10cm, find the two positions where an object can be placed to give, in each case, an image twice the height of the object.

Posted by Shrey Raj (Jan 12, 2017) (Question ID: 1308)

• Given f = -10 cm

magnification is twice so taking

m = +2 and -2m = -v/u

2 = -v/u

v = -2u

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

-1/10 = -1+2/2u

u = -5

Now taking magnification as -2

m = -v/u

-2 = -v/u

v = 2u

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

-1/10 = (1+2)/2u

-2u = 30 or

u = -15

Answered by Naveen Sharma (Jan 12, 2017)

• Ans.

The image twice the height of the object can

A) Virtual,erect and enlarged

Or

B) Real,inverted and enlarged

1) Virtual,erect and enlarge,

in this we will take m = 2

now, m = - v / u
=>2 = - v / u
=> 2u = -v

therefore, v = -2u

1/f=(1/v)+(1/u )
=> 1/(-10)=1/(-2u) + 1/u
=> 1/-10=(-1+ 2)/2u
=> 1/-10=1/2u
-10= 2u, u=-5 cm

B) Real,inverted and enlarge ,

in this we will take,  m = -2

now,m = - v / u
-2 = - v / u
- 2u = -v

therefore , v = 2u
1 / f  = (1 / v )+ (1 / u)
1 / (-10)  = 1 / (2u) + 1 / u
1 / - 10    = (1 + 2) / 2u
1 / - 10  =  3 / 2u
- 30 = 2u therefore , u  = - 15 cm

Therefore, an image twice the height of the object can be obtained when the object is placed at

A) 5cm from the concave mirror

B) 15cm from the concave mirror

Difference between ethanol and ethanoic acid

Posted by Raman arora (Jan 10, 2017) (Question ID: 1268)

• Ethanol is the second member of alcohols. Its formula is C2H5OH. It is a colorless liquid having a pleasant smell and a burning taste. It does not contain hydrogen ions therefore, it is a neutral compound.

Ethanoic acid is the second member of carboxylic acids. Its formula is CH3COOH. It is a colorless liquid having a sour taste and a smell of vinegar. It is acidic n nature therefore, it turns red litmus blue.

To differentiate between ethanol and ethanoic acid chemically, perform the reaction of both the compounds with sodium hydrogencarbonate.

Ethanol gives no reaction with it while ethanoic acid gives brisk efferevesence on reation with it. When this gas is passed over lime water, it turns milky indicating the evolution of carbon dioxide gas.

Explain the acidic character of oxides of elements down the group and across the period

Posted by Rohit Piproliya (Jan 10, 2017) (Question ID: 1247)

• In a group: The acidic characters decreases on moving down a group since the tendency to gain electrons decreases. Due to the increase in atomic size the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron to be added becomes less.

In a period: The acidic character increases across a period from left to right since the tendency to gain across a period from left to right. As the atomic size reduces the effective nuclear charge acting on the valence electrons increases across a period from left to right

State the function of retina in the human eye. what type of cell are present in the retina?

Posted by Rohit Piproliya (Jan 10, 2017) (Question ID: 1242)

• The retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye on the inside. It is located near the optic nerve. The purpose of the retina is to receive light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals, and send these signals on to the brain for visual recognition.

The retina processes light through a layer of photoreceptor cells. These are essentially light-sensitive cells, responsible for detecting qualities such as color and light-intensity. The retina processes the information gathered by the photoreceptor cells and sends this information to the brain via the optic nerve. Basically, the retina processes a picture from the focused light, and the brain is left to decide what the picture is.
