Go through the circuit given below:
Kerala SSLC Physics Previous Question Papers with Answers 2017 20.1
a. Which lamp will be brighter when the circuit is switched on? Justify your answer.
b. What will be the amperage of the fuse in the circuit?

Answers

Answer 1.
Radio waves

Answer 2.
50 Hz

Answer 3.
Infrared

Answer 4.
Multiple reflection

Answer 5.
Photo diode

Answer 6.
The earth pin is thick and long. As it is long it first comes in contact with the earth. Similarly to loses the contact with the earth only at the end. As if thick it offers less resistance. It carries more current than the amount of current coming from the phase.

Answer 7.
Armature
We can avoid rings and graphite brushes when the armature is used as stator. So there is no possibility of producing sparks.

Answer 8.
In a fluorescent lamp, the ballast regulates the current to the lamps and provides sufficient voltage to start the lamps. Without a ballast to limit its current, a fluorescent lamp connected directly to a high voltage power source would rapidly and uncontrollably increase its current draw

Answer 9.

  • Make the floor and walls rough
  • Hang curtains in the hall
  • Use cushions in chairs
  • Use sound absorbing materials

Answer 10.
Brown energy is produced from non- renewable sources such as petroleum, coal and nuclear energy.

Answer 11.
a. The body parts of plants and animals are known as biomass.
b. De composition of biomass produce Hydrogen sulphide and methane. Burning of biomass gives personous gas like carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide etc
c. When biomass is deposited into a biogas plant, biogas is formed by the action of bacteria in the absence of oxygen. Its main constituent is Methane.

Answer 12.
a. Scattering of light in farest due to mist and fog
b. When rays of light pass through a colloidal fluid or suspension, the tiny particles get illuminated due to scattering. Due to this, the path of light is made visible. This phenomenon is called Tyndal effect.

Answer 13.
a. Input voltage vs time
Kerala SSLC Physics Previous Question Papers with Answers 2017 a13.1
b. Half wave rectification

Answer 14.
a. CFC, Carbon dioxide, Methane, Water vapor etc
b. Use solar energy
Use hydrogen as fuel
Reduce the use of CFC.

b. Zero

Answer 16.
a. Three fourth of a rectangular vessel is filled with water. Allow light to fall from one side of the vessel.The light emerging from the vessel is focused on a white screen. Sodium thiosulphate is dissolved in water in the beaker. 2g of sodium thiosulphate is required for 1 litre of water. When one or two drops of hydrochloric acid is added to the water in the vessel the light from the torch undergoes scattering. The solution turned sky blue and green, yellow,orange, red colored rays were formed on the screen.
Kerala SSLC Physics Previous Question Papers with Answers 2017 a16.1
When sodium thiosulphate and Hydro-chloric acid reacts colloidal sulphur is precipitated. Thesize of sulphur particles gradually increases. The particles which have higher wavelength undergoes less scattering . The rate of scattering depends upon the size of particles and wave length.
b. The moon has no appreciable atmosphere to do scattering, so the sky appears dark.

Answer 17.
a. Mutual induction
b. • No. of turns in the secondary
• Input voltage
c. No. Mutual induction doesn’t take place in DC.

Answer 18.
a. 100
b. Change of state
c. Vaporization
d. Latent heat of vaporization (Lv) at a substance is the quantity of heat absorbed by 1 kg of the liquid to change into gaseous state at its boiling point without change in temperature.

Answer 19.
a. Change in pressure
b. v = fλ, = 300×1 = 300m/s
c. Sound propages through air as in the form of longitudinal wave. Particles vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation parallel to the direction of propagation of wave. Sound requires a medium to propagate. Compression and rare factions are formed.

Answer 20.
a. 40 W power lamp will be brighter. Because
circuit is in series, so which bulb have low power which glow brighter.
b.
