pH is quite useful to us in a number of ways in daily life. Some of its applications are:
Control of pH of the soil: Plants need a specific pH range for proper growth. The soil may be acidic,
basic or neutral depending upon the relative concentration of H+ and OH-. The pH of any soil can be
determined by using pH paper. If the soil is too acidic, it can be corrected by adding lime to it. If the
soil is too basic, it can be corrected by adding organic manure which contains acidic materials
Regaining shine of a tarnished copper vessel by use of acids: A copper vessel gets tarnished due to
formation of an oxide layer on its surface. On rubbing lemon on the vessel, the surface is cleaned and
the vessel begins to shine again. This is due to the fact that copper oxide is basic in nature, which
reacts with the acid (citric acid) present in lemon to form a salt (copper citrate) which is washed away
with water. As a result, the layer of copper oxide is removed from the surface of the vessel and the
shining surface is exposed.

CASE STUDY QUESTIONS
Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v)
Sumati wanted to see the stars of the night sky. She knows that she needs a telescope to
see those distant stars. She finds out that the telescopes, which are made of lenses, are
called refracting telescopes and the ones which are made of mirrors are called reflecting
telescopes.
So she decided to make a refracting telescope. She bought two lenses, L1 and L2, out of
which L1 was bigger and L2 was smaller. The larger lens gathers and bends the light,
while the smaller lens magnifies the image. Big, thick lenses are more powerful. So to see
far away, she needed a big powerful lens. Unfortunately, she realized that a big lens is
very heavy. Heavy lenses are hard to make and difficult to hold in the right place. Also
since the light is passing through the lens, the surface of the lens has to be extremely
smooth. Any flaws in the lens will change the image. It would be like looking through a
dirty window.
(i) Based on the diagram shown, what kind of lenses would Sumati need to make the
telescope?
(a) Concave lenses (b) Convex lenses (c) Bifocal lenses
Ans: (b) Convex lenses
(ii) If the powers of the lenses L1 and L2 are in the ratio of 4:1, what would be the ratio of
the focal length of L1 and L2?
(a) 4:1 (b) 1:4 (c) 2:1 (d) 1:1
(iii) What is the formula for magnification obtained with a lens?
(a) Ratio of height of image to height of object
(b) Double the focal length.
(c) Inverse of the radius of curvature.
(d) Inverse of the object distance.
(a) Ratio of height of image to height of object

(iv) Sumati did some preliminary experiment with the lenses and found out that the
magnification of the eyepiece (L2) is 3. If in her experiment with L2 she found an image at 24
cm from the lens, at what distance did she put the object?
(a) 72 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 8 cm
(d) 6 cm
(v) Sumati bought not-so-thick lenses for the telescope and polished them. What advantages,
if any, would she have with her choice of lenses?
(a) She will not have any advantage as even thicker lenses would give clearer images.
(b) Thicker lenses would have made the telescope easier to handle.
(c) Not-so-thick lenses would not make the telescope very heavy and also allow considerable
amount of light to pass.
(d) Not-so-thick lenses will give her more magnification.
Answer:-c. Not-so-thick lenses would not make the telescope very heavy and also allow considerable
amount of light to pass.
Rear view mirror is a device that allows the driver to see rear ward. It usually finds its place at
the top of windscreen in side the cabin. This device is one of the most basic but essential safety
devices in the vehicle. It provides assistance to the driver during overtaking, parking in reverse
gear etc. Generally, vehicles also have a pair of mirrors attached to the body from outside.
They are popular as 'side mirrors' or Outer Rear View Mirrors (ORVM) which serve the same
purpose. Almost all modern cars mount their side mirrors on the doors-normally at A-pillar
rather than the wings (the portion of the body above the wheel well).
A real image of an object is to be obtained. The mirror required for this purpose is :
(a) convex mirror (b) concave mirror
(c) plane mirror (d) either convex or concave mirror
Ans: (b) Concave mirror
(i) A boy is standing in front of and close to a special mirror. He finds the image of his head
bigger than normal, the middle part of his body of the same size, and his legs smaller than normal.
The special mirror is made up of three types of mirrors in the following order from top downwards:
(a) Convex, Plane, Concave
(b) Plane, Convex, Concave
(c) Concave, Plane, Convex
(d) Convex, Concave, Plane
A plane mirror will produce an image of the same size.A concave mirror will
produce a magnified image.
A convex mirror will produce a diminished image.Ans:
(c) Concave, Plane, Convex
(ii) A convex mirror is used:

(a) by a dentist
(b) for shaving
(c) as a rear view mirror in vehicles
(d) as a light reflector for obtaining a parallel beam of light
Ans: (c) as a rear view mirror in vehicles
(iii) Linear magnification (m) produced by a rear view mirror fitted in vehicles :
(a) is equal to one
(b) is less than one
(c) is more than one
(d) can be more or less than one depending on the position of object
Ans: (b) is less than one

(iv) A concave mirror cannot be used as :
(a) a magnifying mirror
(b) a torch reflector
(c) a dentist‘s mirror
(d) a rear view mirror
We cannot use a concave mirror as a rearview mirror in motor vehicles.

This is because a concave mirror produces inverted images (upside down images)of
distant objects.
A ray of light passes from a medium of water to that of air. Light ray will be refracted at the junction
separating the two media. Since it passes from a medium of a higher refractive index to that having a lower
refractive index, the refracted light ray bends away from the normal.
At a specific angle of incidence, the incident ray of light is refracted in such a way that it passes along the
surface of the water. This particular angle of incidence is called the critical angle. Here the angle of refraction
is 90 degrees.
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, the incident ray is reflected back to
the medium. We call this phenomenon total internal reflectionLight is a form of energy that
produces in us the sensation of sight. Reflection of light is the phenomenon of bouncing back of
light in the same medium on striking the surface of any object. The two laws of reflection are the
incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal (at the point of incidence), all lie in the same plane
and the angle of reflection r is always equal to the angle of incidence (i). Refraction
of light is the phenomenon of change in the path of light in going from one
medium to another.

CASE STUDY QUESTION
A mirror is a surface that reflects a clear image. Images can be of two types: Real
image and virtual image. An image that can be formed on the screen is known as a
real image and the one which cannot be formed on the screen is known as a
virtual image. These images are formed when light falls on a mirror from the
object and isreflected back by the mirror on the screen.
One useful tool that is frequently used to depict this idea is known as a ray
diagram. A ray diagram is a diagram that traces the path that light takes in order
for a person to view a point on the image of an object. On the diagram, rays (lines
with arrows) are drawn for the incident ray and the reflected ray.
A ray diagram used arrow type lines to represent the incident ray and the reflected
ray. It also helps to trace the direction in which light travels.
(i) Convex mirror always forms, an image :

(a) Virtual, erect and enlarged (b) Virtual, inverted and
enlarged
(c) Virtual, erect and diminished (d) Real, erect and diminished
Ans: (c) Virtual, erect and diminished
(ii) A convex lens forms the image of sun at :

(a) C (b) focus(c) pole(d) between focus and pole
When an object is at infinity from a convex lens, then the image formed is :
(i) at the focus,
(ii) real and inverted, and
(iii) much smaller than the object (or highly diminished).
Ans: (b) focus

(iii) A concave lens can form a real and inverted image, when :
(a) Object is placed at 2f (b) Object is placed beyond 2f
(c) Object is placed between f and 2f (d) It can never form a real and
inverted image.
Ans: (d) It can never form a real and inverted image.
(iv) An object is placed beyond 2F, in front of a convex lens, image will be formed :
(a) between F and 2F
(b) at focus
(c) at the centre of curvature
(d) between focus and Optical centre
Ans: (a)
(v) An object is placed at focus of a concave mirror, image will be formed at :

(a) focus
(b) between F and C
(c) beyond C
(d) at infinity
Ans: (d) at infinity

CASE STUDY QUESTION
Mirror formula is a relation between object distance (u), image distance (v) and focal
length (f) of a spherical mirror.
It can be written as 1/u + 1/v = 1/f = 2/R where R is the radius of curvature of the mirror.
This formula is valid in all situations for all spherical mirrors for all positions of the
object. Consider the case, in which a mirror forms a real image of height 4 cm of an
object of height 1 cm placed 20 cm away from the mirror.
Consider the case, in which a mirror forms a real image of height 4 cm of an

(i) The distance from the object to its image is
(a) 20 cm (b) 80 cm (c) 60 cm (d) 70 cm

Consider the case, in which a mirror forms a real image of height 4 cm of an

(iii) The radius of curvature of the mirror is (a) -16 cm (b) -14 cm (c) -30 cm
(d) -32 cm
(iv) The magnification of the image is(a) 3 (b) -6 (c) -4 (d) 8
(v) At what distance must an object be placed from mirror in order that a real image
double its size may be obtained?
(a) -24 cm (b) 32 cm (c) -40 cm (d) 45 cm

10.Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:
Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism.
Conservatives believed that established traditional institutions of state and society -like the monarchy, the
Church, social hierarchies, property and family- should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not
propose a return to the society of pre-revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by
Napoleon, that modernization could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could
make State power more effective and stronger. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic
economy, the abolition of feudalism and sarfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe. In
1815, representative of the European powers- who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to
draw up a settlement for Europe. The Congress was hosted by the Austrian Chancellor Duke Metternich.
The delegates drew up the treaty of Vienna of 1815 with the object of undoing most of the changes that had
come about in Europe during the Napoleonic wars. The bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during
the French revolution, was restored to power and French, lost the territories it has annexed under Napoleon.
A series of states were set up on the boundaries of France to prevent French expression in future
