CBSE notes-Light

Name the type of mirror used in the following situations.

(a) Headlights of a car

(b) Side/rear-view mirror of a vehicle

(c) Solar furnace

(a) Concave mirror is used in the headlights of a car. This is because concave mirrors can produce powerful parallel beam of light when the light source is placed at their principal focus.
(b) Convex mirror is used in side/rear view mirror of a vehicle. Convex mirrors give a virtual, erect, and diminished image of the objects placed in front of it. Because of this, they have a wide field of view. It enables the driver to see most of the traffic behind him/her.
(c) Concave mirrors are convergent mirrors. That is why they are used to construct solar furnaces. Concave mirrors converge the light incident on them at a single point known as principal focus. Hence, they can be used to produce a large amount of heat at that point.

Trigonometric Angles

Image
Trigonometric Angles Trigonometric angles are very easy to learn if u follow some of these steps- From the table ,just learn the values of sin θ  upto 90 and now see that as now move from left to write in sin θ ,the same values will come when you move from right to left in cos θ .Now the next column is of tan θ ,we know that tan θ =sin θ /cos θ ,so we can easy calculate by dividing sin θ  and cos θ .Then next we move on to cot θ ,which can be find out by doing inverse of tan θ  or by dividing cos θ  and sin θ ,as cot θ =1/tan θ  or cot θ =cos θ /sin θ .now go to sec θ ,it is reciprocal of cos θ ,cos θ =1/cos θ ,and at the end it is cosec θ ,which can be find out by finding reciprocal of sin's value,as cosec θ =1/sin θ . Angles can be c omplementary angles and complex angles

SCIENCE-10TH CBSE ANSWER KEY

PERIODIC CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS(14-19) Question 14: Element X forms a chloride with the formula XCl2, which is a solid with a high melting point. X would most likely be in the same group of the Periodic Table as Answer:  (b) X would most likely be in the same group of the Periodic Table as magnesium (Mg). Question 15: Which element has (a) two shells, both of which are completely filled with electrons? (b) the electronic configuration 2, 8, 2? (c) a total of three shells, with four electrons in its valence shell? (d) a total of two shells, with three electrons in its valence shell? (e) twice as many electrons in its second shell as in its first shell? Answer:  (a) Neon has two shells, both of which are completely filled with electrons (2 electrons in K shell and 8 electrons in L shell). (b) Magnesium has the electronic configuration 2, 8, 2. (c) Silicon has a total of three shells, with four electrons in its valence shell (2 electr...
