11. 1)Niels Bohr proposed that electrons in an atom occupy

stationary orbits of fixed energy at different distances from the
nucleus.

2) When an electron jumps from a lower to higher energy state it

absorbs energy or emits its energy when such a jump from a
higher energy state.

3) The energy of an electron in an atom can have also certain

values E1, E2, E3... that is the energy is quantized. soda:-

12. Application of total internal reflection

1)Mirage:-
It is an optical illusion where it appears that water is collected on
the road at a distance, but when we go there the road is dry.
2)Brilliance of diamond
3)Optical fibres:- optical fibre is very thin fibre made of glass or
plastic. They communicate signals.
4) A metal ball covered with black carbon dust is appears shiny
underwater.

15)
1) Aufbau principal:- Orbitals are filled in the order of increasing
energy.
or Less energy orbitals fill first.
2) Two general rules helps to predict electron configuration.
3)Electrons are assigned to orbitals in order of increasing the value
of( n + l) value.
4) For subshell with the same value of n + l electrons are assigned
first to the subshell with lower n.
5) Ascending order of energies where is atomic orbitals is given
below.
1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<5s....
eg:- 4s is filled first and 3d next.
because 4s<3d
Hund's rule :- 1)a)According to the rule electron pairing in orbitals
starts only when all available empty orbitals of the same energy are
singly occupide.
example:- The electron configuration of carbon atom is 1S2 2S2 2P2
2) The first four electrons go into 1S and 2s orbitals.
3) The next two electrons go into 2px and 2Py orbitals,but they do not
pair into 2PX orbital.
OR

15) Each electron in an atom is described by a set of four Quantum

numbers.

RAMMOHAN MODEL PAPER ….2

Spectrum model papers 10 TH CLASS PHYSICS JULY 2020

1) Principal quantum number (n):-

The principal quantum number is used to describe the size and energy
of the main shell.
It is denoted by n and n has positive integers values of 1,2,3,....
It is used to know the number of orbitals and electrons in an Orbit. if n
increases that orbit is farther from the nucleus and the energy
increases.
2) Angular momentum quantum number (l).
l has integer values from 0 to n -1 for each value of n.
Each l value represents one subshell.
It is used to describe the shape of an Orbital.
if l =0 means s orbital.if l =1 means p orbital.if l =2 means d orbital.
3)Magnetic quantum number (ml): The magnetic quantum number ml
has integer values between -l and +l including 0.
If l =0 the possible ml value is 1.
if l =1 the possible ml values are - 1, 0 ,+1
4) spin quantum number (ms)
It refers two possible orientations of the spin of electrons.
One clockwise and other one anticlockwise spin
These are represented by + 1/ 2 and -1 / 2.

Aim:- identifying relation between angle of incidence and angle of

refraction. or sini/sin r = constant.
Procedure:-
1) Prepare a pro circle as shown in the figure. Draw the lines MM
horizontally and NN vertically on the pro circle.

2)Place a semicircular glass

disk so that its diameter coincides with the interface line MM and its
Centre coincides with the point O.
3) Take a laser light and send it along NN in such a way that the laser
propagates from air to glass through the interface at point O and
observe the way of laser light coming from other side of the disc.
4)There is no deviation.
5)Send the laser light along a line which makes 15 ° with NN and the
see that it must pass through point O.
6) Measure the corresponding angle of refraction and repeat the
experiment with angle of incidence of 20° 30° 40° 40° and 60° and not
the corresponding angles of refraction.
8) Find sin i and sin r for every i and r.

9) Note on the values in the table.

10) If i increases r also increases.
conclusion:- sin i/ sin r = const.

16)
1) Measure the thickness of a glass slab and in your notebook.
2) Take white chart and fix it on the table.
3) Take the slab and place it in the middle of
the chart.
4) Draw a line around it. Remove the slab.
Name the vertices of the rectangle so
formed as A B Cand D.
5)Draw a perpendicular to the longest line
AB of the rectangle at any point on it.
6) Place the slab again in the rectangle
ABCD.
7) take a needle and place it at a point P in such a way that its length
is parallel to AB on the perpendicular line at the distance of 20 cm
from the Slab.
8)Now take another needle and by seeing the first needle from the
other side of the slab try to keep the middle so that it forms straight
line with the first needle.

9) Remove the slab and observe the positions of the needles. They
are in the same line.
10)Draw a perpendicular line from the second Needle to the line on
which first needle is placed. Name the intersection point as Q.
11) Measure the distance between P and Q.
The distance is called vertical shift of the glass slab.
12) Do the same activity for various instances of the nail paint from
the slab. We will get the same vertical shift.
13) refractive index = thickness of the glass slab/ (thickness of
the class - vertical shift)
