List five things you have done over the last one week to - conserve our natural resources.

To find out the names of organisations involved in spreading awareness about the conservation of natural resources. NGO (Non Government Organisations) such us SEACOLOGY and Mera Desh Foundation spread awareness about the environment and promote activities that lead to conservation of natural resources. Some other organisations that work for the conservation of the environment. CSE - The Centre for Science and Environment, TER- The Energy and Resources Institute, WTI - Wildlife Trust of India. How you can contribute towards the conservation of our environment and natural resources.

List any two cases of our failure of sustainable management of natural resources.

Entropy ( S ) is a thermodynamic variable like pressure P , volume V and temperature T . Entropy of a thermodynamic system is a measure of disorder of molecular motion. Greater is disorder , greater is entropy. Change in entropy of a thermodynamic system is the ratio of heat supplied to absolute temperature.In an adiabatic reversible process, entropy remains constant while in any irreversible process entropy increases. In nature the processes are irreversible , therefore entropy of universe is continuoulsy increasing. After a long-long time, the energy available for work done will be :

Classically, an electron can be in any orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Then what determines the typical atomic size? Why is an atom not, say, thousand times bigger than its typical size ? The question had greatly puzzled Bohr before he arrived at his famous model of the atom that you have learnt in the text. To simulate what he might well have done before his discovery, let us play as follows with the basic constants of nature and see if we can get a quantity with the dimensions of length that is roughly equal to the known size of an atom (-10^(-10)m) Construct a quantity with the dimensions of length from the fundamental constants e, m_(e) and c. Determine its numerical value.

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of the mechanical work done by the engine in one cycle to the heat absorbed from the high temperature source . eta = (W)/(Q_(1)) = (Q_(1) - Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) Cornot devised an ideal engine which is based on a reversible cycle of four operations in succession: isothermal expansion , adiabatic expansion. isothermal compression and adiabatic compression. For carnot cycle (Q_(1))/(T_(1)) = (Q_(2))/(T_(2)) . Thus eta = (Q_(1) - Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) = (T_(1) - T_(2))/(T_(1)) According to carnot theorem "No irreversible engine can have efficiency greater than carnot reversible engine working between same hot and cold reservoirs". A carnot engine whose low temperature reservoir is at 7^(@)C has an efficiency of 50% . It is desired to increase the efficiency to 70% . By how many degrees should the temperature of the high temperature reservoir be increased?
