1. Explain Wave motion provides a mechanism for energy to be transferred from one point to another without any physical transfer of medium itself 2. State two differences between two main types of waves? 3. [Bonus] what do you mean by wavefront? Draw diagram 4. Do EM waves carry charge? 5. Stated some properties of EM waves 6. [Bonus] what you mean by coherent and non coherent light sources? 7. Why do you see leaf as green in colour not blue? Similarly why do we use red colour for mentioning that danger ahead red signal? 8. State two laws of reflection? 9. What do you mean by critical angle in reflection phenomena? 10. What is total internal reflection? 11. Snells law? 12. Draw ray diagrams for converging lens for object placed between F and C at F b/w F and 2F at 2F > than 2F 13. What do you mean by mechanical and electromagnetic waves 14. How does temperature, pressure and humidity affect speed of sound? 15. What are infrasounds and ultrasounds? 16. If we pluck a thread/string below from point A what type of wanes would be produced?

17. Given a data Amp of wave = 0.3m, frequency= 0.5Hz, speed of wave = 2.5m/s Plot on a graph paper this wave - 2 complete wavelengths and then calculate the wavelength and find distance it would travel in 20 secs 18. A vibrator is fixed at 0.5kHz produces sound waves in air which have wavelength 0.68m, calculate the speed at which sound waves travel in air? The same vibrator is now submerged in water and set vibrating, the sound waves produced travel at 1500 m/s. calculate the wavelength of these waves?

19. Calculate the refraction index below

20. The figure below shows a glass block with a refraction index 1.50. A light ray is incident on the left side of the glass block at angle

Calculate the critical angle of light ray form glass into the air Find the angle Complete the path of the light ray until it emerges into the air again. Label all angles clearly

GOOD LUCK
