Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v). Monatomic Gases: The molecule of a monatomic gas has only three translational degrees of freedom. Thus, the average energy of a molecule at temperature T is $\frac{3}{2}\text{K}_\text{b}\text{T}$. The total internal energy of a mole of such a gas is $\text{U}=(\frac{3}{2})\text{RT}$. The molar specific heat at constant volume cv is given by$\text{C}_{\text{v}}=\frac{\text{Du}}{\text{Dt}}=(\frac{3}{2})\text{R}$
For an ideal gas, $C_p - C_v = R$ Where Cp is the molar specific heat at constant pressure. Thus, $\text{C}_\text{P} =(\frac{5}{2})\text{R}$ The ratio of specific heats IS $\gamma=\frac{\text{cp}}{\text{cv}}=\frac{5}{3}$ Diatomic Gases: a diatomic molecule treated as a rigid rotator, like a dumbbell, has 5 degrees of freedom: 3 translational and 2 rotational. Using the law of equipartition of energy, the total internal energy of a mole of such a gas is $\text{U}=\frac{5}{2}\text{RT}$ The molar specific heat at constant volume cv is given by$\text{Cv}=\frac{\text{DU}}{\text{DT}}=(\frac{5}{2})\text{R}$
For an ideal gas, $C_p – C_v= R$ Where Cp is the molar specific heat at constant pressure. Thus, $\text{C}_\text{P} =(\frac{7}{2})\text{R}$ The ratio of specific heats IS $γ( \text{for rigid diatomic)}=\frac{\text{C}_\text{P}}{\text{C}_\text{v}} =(\frac{7}{5})\text{R}$ For non rigid diatomic molecules they have additional mode of vibrations therefore$\gamma=\frac{\text{C}_\text{p}}{\text{C}_\text{v}}=\frac{9}{7}$
Polyatomic Gases: In general a polyatomic molecule has 3 translational, 3 rotational degrees of freedom and a certain number (f) of vibrational modes. According to the law of equipartition of energy, it is easily seen that one mole of such a gas has$ C_v= (3 + f)$ R and $C_p= (4 + f) R$ and $\gamma=\frac{(4 + \text{f})}{(3+\text{f})}$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. According to Hooke’s law, within the elastic limit, the stress applied to a body is directly proportional to the corresponding strain. $\text{Stress}\propto\text{Strain}$ or Stress = E × Strain or $\frac{\text{Stress }}{\text{Strain}}=\text{E}$ Where E is the constant of proportionality and is known as coefficient of elasticity or modulus of elasticity. Hooke’s law is an empirical law and is found to be valid for most materials. However, there are some materials which do not exhibit this linear relationship.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
When we speak, the sound moves outward from us, without any flow of air from one part of the medium to another. The disturbances produced in air are much less obvious and only our ears or a microphone can detect them. These patterns, which move without the actual physical transfer or flow of matter as a whole, are called waves. The most familiar type of waves such as waves on a string, water waves, sound waves, seismic waves, etc. is the so-called mechanical waves. These waves require a medium for propagation, they cannot propagate through vacuum. They involve oscillations of constituent particles and depend on the elastic properties of the medium. The electromagnetic waves that you will learn in Class XII are a different type of wave. Electromagnetic waves do not necessarily require a medium – they can travel through vacuum. Light, radio waves, X-rays, are all electromagnetic waves. We have seen that motion of mechanical waves involves oscillations of constituents of the medium. If the constituents of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, we call the wave a transverse wave. If they oscillate along the direction of wave propagation, we call the wave a longitudinal wave. In transverse waves, the particle motion is normal to the direction of propagation of the wave. Therefore, as the wave propagates, each element of the medium undergoes a shearing strain. Transverse waves can, therefore, be propagated only in those media, which can sustain shearing stress, such as solids and not in fluids. Fluids, as well as, solids can sustain compressive strain; therefore, longitudinal waves can be propagated in all elastic media.
For example, in medium like steel, both transverse and longitudinal waves can propagate, while air can sustain only longitudinal waves. Answer the following.
  1. Air can sustain:
  1. Transverse waves
  2. Longitudinal waves
  3. Both a and b

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. In general, the errors in measurement can be broadly classified as (a) systematic errors and (b) random errors. Systematic errors: The systematic errors are those errors that tend to be in one direction, either positive or negative. Some of the sources of systematic errors are: (a) Instrumental errors that arise from the errors due to imperfect design or calibration of the measuring instrument, zero error in the instrument, etc. For example, the temperature graduations of a thermometer may be inadequately calibrated (it may read 104 °C at the boiling point of water at STP whereas it should read 100 °C); in a vernier calipers the zero mark of vernier scale may not coincide with the zero mark of the main scale, or simply an ordinary metre scale may be worn off at one end. (b) Imperfection in experimental technique or procedure to determine the temperature of a human body, a thermometer placed under the armpit will always give a temperature lowers than the actual value of the body temperature. (c) Personal errors that arise due to an individual’s bias, lack of proper setting of the apparatus or individual’s carelessness in taking observations without observing proper precautions, etc. For example, if you, by habit, always hold your head a bit too far to the right while reading the position of a needle on the scale, you will introduce an error due to parallax.Systematic errors can be minimized by improving experimental techniques, selecting better instruments and removing personal bias as far as possible. For a given set-up, these errors may be estimated to a certain extent and the necessary corrections may be applied to the readings. Random errors:The random errors are those errors, which occur irregularly and hence are random with respect to sign and size. These can arise due to random and unpredictable fluctuations in experimental conditions (e.g. unpredictable fluctuations in temperature, voltage), personal (unbiased) errors by the observer taking readings, etc. For example, when the same person repeats the same observation, it is very likely that he may get different readings every time. Least count error: The smallest value that can be measured by the measuring instrument is called its least count. All the readings or measured values are good only up to this value. The least count error is the error associated with the resolution of the instrument.
  1. The errors due to imperfect design or calibration of the measuring instrument:
  1. Instrumental error
  2. Random error
  3. Least count error
  4. None of the above
  1. The errors which occur irregularly

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. The average velocity tells us how fast an object has been moving over a given time interval but does not tell us how fast it moves at different instants of time during that interval. For this, we define instantaneous velocity or simply velocity v at an instant t. The velocity at an instant is defined as the limit of the average velocity as the time interval Dt becomes infinitesimally small. In other words. $\text{V}=\lim_{\text{dt}-0}\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}$ $\text{v}=\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}$ The variation in velocity with time for an object moving in a straight line can be represented by a velocity-time graph. In this graph, time is represented along the x-axis and the velocity is represented along the y-axis. We know that the product of velocity and time give displacement of an object moving with uniform velocity. The area enclosed by velocity-time graph and the time axis will be equal to the magnitude of the displacement and slope of velocity time graph represents acceleration of object. The variation in distance with time for an object moving in a straight line can be represented by a position-time graph. In this graph, time is represented along the x-axis and the displacement is represented along the y-axis. Answer the following questions based on paragraph given.

  1. Displacement over given time interval
