During this activity, two healthy potted plants were kept in the dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, KOH is kept in the watch glass in setup X and not in setup Y. Both these setups are air tight and have been kept in light for 6 hours. Then, todine ‘Testis performed with one leaf from each of the two plants X and ¥.

The substances that participate in a chemical reaction are called the reactants and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products. Chemical reactions are of different types like combination reaction, displacement Feaction, decomposition reaction, double displacement reaction and redox reaction. Classify the following reactions into different types: ~AVABNO; (aq) + NaCl (aq) ——> Agcl (s) + NaNO; (aq) Sorat + 02(8) > 2Naz0 (s) fi) 2Cu(NOs)2 (5) -—-> 2CuO (s) + 0;(g) + 4NO;(g) ~_ 94/080 (aa) + Zn(s) —-—-> Cu(s) + ZnSO, (aq) move from one transparent 1X4 medium into another, or travel through a medium whose composition is continuously changing. The law of reflection states that, on reflection from a smooth surface, the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of the incident ray. (By convention, all angles in geometrical optics are méasured with respect to the normal to the surface— that is, toa line perpendicular to the surface.) The reflected ray is always in the plane defined by the incident ray and the normal to the surface. The law of reflection can be used to understand the images produced by plane and curved mirfors. Unlike mirrors, ‘most natural surfaces are rough on the scale of the wavelength of light, and, as a consequence, parallel incident light rays are reflected in many different directions, or diffusely. “ 'e magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1. What does this mean? Define the principal focus of a concave mirror. ) Between which two points related to a concave mirror should an object be placed, ~ to-obtain on a screen an image twice the size of the abject? Give all possible options. 2 AF we a Case Refractive index, aso called index of refraction, is the measure of the bending of aray 1x4 _ flight when passing from one medium into another. If /is the angle of incidence of aPayitl ao pada the angle of refraction, the refractive index n is defined as the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction; i.e, n sin i/ sin r. Refractive index is also equal to the velocity of light ¢ of a given wavelength in empty space divided by its velocity vin a substance, orn = cv 1) The refractive index of medium ‘M’ is 1.75.
