The dissolving of an acid or a base in water is a highly exothermic reaction. Care must be taken while mixing concentrated nitric acid or sulphuric acid with water. The acid must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring. If water is added to a concentrated acid, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause burns. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating. Look out for the warning sign on the can of concentrated sulphuric acid and on the bottle of sodium hydroxide pellets.

"Change in path of a light ray as it passes from one medium to another medium is called refraction of light."

When light travels from a rarer medium to a denser one, it bends towards the normal $(i>r)$ and when travels from a denser medium to a rarer one. it bends away from the normal $(i<r)$.
Where, $\quad i=$ Angle of incidence
and $\quad r=$ Angle of refraction
We can see refraction in our daily life, some of the examples are given below :
The bottom of a tank or pond containing water appears to be raised due to refraction of light which takes place when light rays pass from the pool of water into the air. The letters appear to be raised when viewed through a glass slab placed over the document because of refraction of light.
When a light ray enters in a glass slab, then the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but it is shifted sideward slightly.
In this case, refraction takes place twice, first when ray enters glass slab from air and second when exits from glass slab to air.
(i) What do you mean by optically rarer and denser medium ?
(ii) What is the cause of refraction?
(iii) Draw a ray diagram shotving refraction through a glass slab.
or
(iv) Give one example of refraction from our daily life experience other than the two examples given above.

Nastic movements in plants are not directional movements. They are not dependent on the stimulus and are growth independent. For example, the leaves of a touch me not plant (Mimosa pudica), fold up immediately when touched. These kinds of changes occur due to the changes in the amount of water in the leaves. Depending on the quantity, they either swell up or shrink. Plant hormones or phytohormones are responsible for the control and coordination of plants. There are different types of hormones, which affect the growth of a plant. Phytohormones are chemical compounds which are released by stimulated cells. These hormones are diffused around the plant cells. They have a role in the cell division, cell enlargement, cell differentiation, fruit growth, falling of leaves, ripening of fruits, ageing of plants etc.
(i) Name the phenomenon called for the movement in growth of plants.
(ii) What do you mean by nastic movement?
(iii) What are the different types of harmonies of plants?

(iv) The plant harmone help in the cell growth at the shoot tips by elongating the cells and help in the growth process is :

Read the following and answer any three questions from (i) to (iv).The obstruction offered by a conductor in the path of flow of current is called resistance. The SJ unit of resistance is ohm (Q). It has been found that the resistance of a conductor depends on the temperature of the conductor. As the temperature increases, the resistance also increases. But the resistance of alloys like mangnin, Constantin and nichrome is almost unaffected by temperature. The resistance of a conductor also depends on the length of conductor and the area of cross-section of the conductor. More be the length, more will be the resistance, more be the area of cross-section, lesser will be the resistance.
