Directions: In each of the following questions, Read Assertion and Reason and choose if

( A ) Assertion is true , Reason is true. Reason is a correct explanation of Assertion.

( B ) Assertion is true, Reason is true but Reason is not a correct explanation of Assertion.

( C ) Assertion is true , Reason is false.

( D ) Assertion is false, Reason is true..

Q1: A – A Rain drop after falling through some height attains a constant velocity.

R - At constant velocity , the viscous drag is just equal to its weight.

Q2: A - If work done in increasing the size of a soap film from 10 cm x 6 cm to 10 cm x 11 cm is 2 x 10 -4

joule, then the surface tension is 2 x 10 -4 Newton per metre.

R - Work done = surface tension x increase in area

Q3: A - two systems, which are in thermal equilibrium with the third system, are in thermal equilibrium
with each other.

R - The heat flows spontaneously from a system at a higher temperature to a system at a lower
temperature.

Q4: A – Internal energy of an ideal gas does not change during an isothermal process.

R - The decrease in volume of a gas is compensated by a corresponding increase in pressure, when

its temperature is held constant.

Q5: A – specific heat of a gas at constant pressure is greater than its specific heat at constant volume.

R - This is because at constant pressure, some heat is spent in expansion of the gas.

Q6: A - Internal energy of an ideal gas does not depend upon volume of the gas.

R - This is because internal energy of ideal gas depends only on temperature of gas.

Q7: A – The ratio Cp / Cv is more for helium gas than for hydrogen gas.

R - Atomic mass of helium is more than that of hydrogen.

Q8: A –A vibrating tuning fork sounds louder when its stem is pressed against a desktop.

R - When a wave reaches another denser medium , part of the wave is reflected.

Q9: A – In the nth normal mode of vibration of a string there are (n+1) nodes and n antinodes.

R - This is because both the ends of the string are fixed and form nodes.

Q10: A – Resonance is a special case of forced vibration in which natural frequency of vibration of the
body is the same as the impressed frequency of external periodic force and the amplitude of forced
vibration is maximum.
R - The amplitude of forced vibration of a body increases with an increase in the frequency of the
externally impressed periodic force.
