1. Write short notes on any two of the following :
a). Microwave oven : It is one of the great inventions of the 20th century. Microwave ovens are popular because they cook
food quickly. They are also extremely efficient in their use of electricity because a microwave oven heats only the food -
nothing else. A microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Microwaves are radio waves. In the case of microwave
ovens, the commonly used radio wave frequency is roughly 2,500 megahertz (2.5 gigahertz). Radio waves in this
frequency range are absorbed by water, fats and sugars. When they are absorbed they are converted directly into atomic
motion - heat. Microwaves in this frequency range have another interesting property: they are not absorbed by most
plastics, glass or ceramics. Metal reflects microwaves, that’s why metal pans do not work well in a microwave oven.
b). Optic fibre : Optical fiber refers to the medium and the technology associated with the transmission of information as
light pulses along a glass or plastic wire or fiber. Optical fiber carries much more information than copper wire. Most
telephone company long-distance lines are now of optical fiber.
Transmission on optical fiber wire requires repeaters at distance intervals. The glass fiber requires more protection within
an outer cable than copper. For these reasons and because the installation of any new wiring is labor-intensive, few
communities yet have optical fiber wires or cables from the phone company's branch office to local customers. A type of
fiber known as single mode fiber is used for longer distances; multimode fiber is used for shorter distances.
c). Biotechnology: The simplest definition of biotechnology is "applied biology" and the application of biological knowledge
and techniques to develop products. It may be further defined as the use of living organisms to make a product or run a
process. By this definition, the classic techniques used for plant and animal breeding, fermentation and enzyme purification
would be considered biotechnology. Some people use the term only to refer to newer tools of genetic science. In this
context, biotechnology may be defined as the use of biotechnical methods to modify the genetic materials of living cells so
they will produce new substances or perform new functions. Examples include recombinant DNA technology, in which a
copy of a piece of DNA containing one or a few genes is transferred between organisms or "recombined" within an
organism.
2. Give names of the members of the solar system. Briefly write down main characteristics of : a). Mars b). venus

Mars : It is the fourth planet in solar system. (Greek: Ares) is the god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its
red color; Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet. The name of the month March derives from Mars. The first
spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Though Mars is much smaller than Earth, its surface area is about the same
as the land surface area of Earth.

Venus : Venus is the second planet from the sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of
any planet. (Greek: Aphrodite; Babylonian: Ishtar) is the goddess of love and beauty. The planet is so named probably
because it is the brigthest of the planets known to the ancients.

Q 5 : what are pesticides ? discuss their classification commonly in use with agronomists.

Toxic chemicals that are used to destroy pests are known as pesticides. Fungicides (which kill fungi), herbicides (which kill
plants), and insecticides (which kill insects) are types of pesticides.

Classification of Pesticides :

Acarcides, Algicides, Bactericides, Bird repellents, Fungicides, Herbicides, Insect attractants, Insect repellents, Insecticides,
Nematacides , Mamal repellents, Rodenticides , Virucides and plant growth regulators

Each major group of pesticides (e.g. herbicides or plant growth regulators) is subdivided into chemical or other classes
(e.g. chloroacetanilide herbicides or auxins).

Q 6 : Define any five of the following :

Acoustics : The science of sound dealing with the production, effects, and transmission of sound waves through various
mediums. Includes the effects of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and interference

Quartz : It is a hard glossy mineral consisting of silicon dioxide in crystal form; present in most rocks (especially sandstone
and granite); yellow sand is quartz with iron oxide impurities. It is a mineral composed of the elements silicon and oxygen
(silicon dioxide) that occurs in multiple forms.

Cross Pollination : Mixing the pollen of one flowering plant with another to create a hybrid. It is done by transfer of pollen
from one flower to another of a different variety but of same species. Necessary for the fruit development of many plants.

Allele : Any of the alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a given gene locus. One of the variant forms of a gene at
a particular locus, or location, on a chromosome. Different alleles produce variation in inherited characteristics such as hair
color or blood type.

Optical Illusion : drawing or object that appears to have an effect that it does not really have, such as when a flat painting
seems to have three-dimensional depth. When something appears different than it actually is. Example: Trompe de oil
murals which "trick the eye" into thinking they are 3 dimensional, or when a ceiling appears higher than it is because of
colors, etc. used.

Ovulation : The release of an egg (or eggs) from the ovary.

Aqua Regia : Aqua regia is a 3:1 mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Aqua regia is used to test gold and platinum;
it is just about one of the few substances that can dissolve gold and platinum.

Q. 8: Explain the structure of Earth and its Atmosphere

Atmosphere of Earth :

Gaseous envelope of the Earth, or any other celestial object. The Earth’s atmosphere is made up of nitrogen (78 per cent),
oxygen (21 per cent), argon (0.9 per cent), carbon dioxide (0.03 per cent), varying amounts of water vapour, and trace
amounts of hydrogen, ozone, methane, carbon monoxide, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon.

The atmosphere is divided into several layers. The lowest one, the troposphere, extends up to about 16 km (10 mi) in
tropical regions and to about 9.7 km (6 mi) in temperate latitudes. Most clouds occur in this layer. Above the troposphere
is the stratosphere, which has an upper boundary of almost 50 km (30 mi). The layer from 50 to 80 km (30 to 50 mi),
called the mesosphere, is characterized by a marked decrease in temperature as the altitude increases. At an altitude of 80
km (50 mi), ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and showers of electrons from the sun ionize several layers of the atmosphere,
causing them to conduct electricity. Because of the relatively high concentration of ions, this layer, extending to an altitude
of 640 km (400 mi), is called the ionosphere. The region beyond the ionosphere is called the exosphere; it extends to
about 9,600 km (6,000 mi), the outer limit of the atmosphere.

Air pressure is measured by a barometer and is expressed in torrs, which are related to the height of a column of mercury
that the air pressure will support. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 torrs. At about 5.6 km (3.5 mi), it is
380 torrs; half of all the air in the atmosphere lies below this level.

Q 10. What are Endocrine Glands ? Name any two . From which of the body are the following secreted :

Group of organs and tissues of the body that release hormones. The endocrine glands and their hormones regulate the
growth, development, and function of various tissues and coordinate many of the processes of metabolism.

Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland has three lobes: anterior, intermediate, and posterior. It is situated at the base of the brain and has
been called the “master gland”. The pituitary secretes various hormones that stimulate the function of other endocrine
glands; growth hormone; and endorphins, peptides that reduce sensitivity to pain. The pituitary also stores vasopressin,
an antidiuretic hormone secreted by the hypothalamus.

Adrenal Glands
The adrenal glands, located on top of each kidney, consist of a medulla (inner part) and a cortex (outer part). The adrenal
medulla produces adrenaline and noradrenaline, which affect a number of functions that help the body deal with acute
emergencies. The adrenal cortex secretes a group of steroid hormones, including cortisone and hydrocortisone, that are
essential to the maintenance of life and adaptation to stress.

Insulin : Pancreas
Thyroxin : Thyroid
Adrenaline ; Adrenal medulla
Estrogen : Ovaries
Testosterone : Testes

-------
1. Write short notes on any two of the following :

a. superconductivity

The pairing of electrons in certain materials when cooled below a critical temperature, causing the material to lose all
resistance to electricity flow. Superconductors can carry electric current without any energy losses.
About one third of all metals loose all electrical resistance at temperatures below a specific critical temperature. Many
elemental metals are superconductors. Some critical temperatures are: lead Tc = 7.2 K, tin Tc = 3.7 K, niobium Tc = 9.2
K, aluminum Tc = 1.2 K, mercury Tc = 4.2 K, and vanadium Tc = 5.3 K. Compounds can have even higher critical
temperatures. YBa2Cu3O7 has a critical temperature of Tc = 92 K and HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8 has a critical temperature of Tc =
133 K. Superconducting wires can carry currents with zero losses up to very high current densities. Above a critical current
density Jc, superconductivity is supressed. A typical critical current density is 106 A/cm2. Superconductivity is also
supressed by strong magnetic fields.

b. Night Vision Technology

c. Seismograph
a measuring instrument for detecting and measuring the intensity and direction and duration of movements of the ground
(as an earthquake). It senses and records the vibrations that radiate out from the earthquake focus. It is a machine for
measuring the intensity of earthquakes by recording the seismic waves that they generate.

2. Briefly write down characteristics of :

a. Mercury
Mercurius = [Latin] messenger god, it is the eighth largest planet in the solar system in terms of size and is nearest to the
sun.. The Hubble Space Telescope cannot be turned on Mercury because its orbit causes Mercury to always have too much
of the Sun in the frame. That kind of exposure to the Sun would destroy the Hubble.
b. Pluto
The furthest and smallest planet from the Sun , the little planet is only 65% the diameter of Earth’s moon and shows little
surface detail. Pluto’s orbit is quite elliptical, it is the most distant planet, but it can come closer to the sun than Neptune.
Because of the erratic nature of Pluto's orbit, some scientists insist that it is an asteroid. Also, Pluto rotates in the opposite
direction of most of the other planets. However, Pluto has its own moon, Charon. Pluto's name in Roman mythology was
the name of the god of the Underworld.

3. Name :

5. Write briefly about any five of the following

a. Nuclear radiation

Three are atomic nuclei of some elements that continuously emit some ultraviolet waves called radiation. When the
process of radiation is stimulated through various nuclear processes it is called nuclear radiation. The important nuclear
radiation, from a weapon standpoint, are alpha and beta particles, gamma rays and neutrons. All nuclear radiation is
ionizing radiation, but the reverse is not true; X-rays for example, are included among ionizing radiation, but they are not
nuclear radiation since they do not originate from atomic nuclei.

5.
b. Theodolite
An instrument used in surveying to measure horizontal and vertical angles with a small telescope that can move in the
horizontal and vertical planes.
c. Dialysis

d. Enrichment of Uranium
Uranium is a radioactive element that occurs naturally in the earth's surface. Uranium is used as a fuel for nuclear
reactors. Uranium-bearing ores are mined, and the uranium is processed to make reactor fuel.
In nature, uranium atoms exist in several forms called isotopes - primarily uranium-238, or U-238, and uranium-235, or U-
235. In a typical sample of natural uranium, most of the mass (99.3%) would consist of atoms of U-238, and a very small
portion of the total mass (0.7%) would consist of atoms of U-235.
To enrich the uranium, a process called gaseous diffusion was developed by the United States in the 1940s. The gaseous
diffusion process creates two products: enriched uranium hexafluoride, and depleted uranium hexafluoride (depleted UF6).
Enriched uranium is used for the defense needs and in making fuel for commercial light water nuclear power reactors.
Depleted UF6 has had only limited uses, and since gaseous diffusion was initiated in the 1940s, large quantities of depleted
UF6 has accumulated at the gaseous diffusion plants where it was created.
e. Richter Scale

A scale for measuring the magnitude of an earthquake devised by the American seismologist Charles Richter. The device
measures the tremors originates during the earth quake and shows its intensity on scale which is from 1 to 10, ten being
the highest while one is the lowest of scales in terms of intensity of earth quake.

f. Aqua regia

Aqua regia is a 3:1 mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Aqua regia is used to test gold and platinum; it is just
about one of the few substances that can dissolve gold and platinum.

g. Iodized salt
Iodine is a natural element required by the human body for proper physical and mental development. It is essential to the
production of hormones that affect many parts of the body, particularly muscles, the heart, liver, kidneys and the brain.
While most people receive sufficient amounts of iodine from their daily diets, but number of people cannot get it as their
soil lacks iodine and because they lack access to foods which contain iodine.
Physical manifestations of iodine deficiency (IDD) include mental retardation, coordination abnormalities, deaf-mutism,
spastic diplegia (spastic paralysis of the lower limbs) and dwarfism. During childhood, mild IDD can result in permanent
intellectual impairment, with the intelligence quotient lowered by 10-15 points
To overcome the deficiency, Salt has become the most accepted food for iodine fortification because it is one of the few
commodities that is almost universally consumed by all sections of a community, and at approximately the same level
throughout the year, irrespective of economic level.
