Question based on paragraph A class of students was taken on an excursion by the school to the banks of a river. They were explained that energy can be transferred from phytoplanktons to humans. This pattem of energy in the ecosystem could be explained as a ‘pyramid of energy’. The pyramid of energy consists of phytoplanktons at the bottom, followed by three successive trophic levels consisting of zooplanktons, fishes and humans respectively. There is a gradual decrease of energy and number of organisms from the base to the apex of the pyramid. The passage of energy is referred to as ‘one way’ transport. Based on the above passage, answer the question Why is the flow of energy through the ecosystem considered as one way transport?

The photoelectric current in a photoelectric cell can be reduced to zero by a stopping potential of 1.8 volt. Monochromatic light of wavelength 2200 overset(@)(A) is incident on the cathode. Find the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons in joules. [Charge on electron = 1.6 xx 10^-19 C ]

Paragraph-based questions Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: Disasters can be properly classified into three categories. viz. natural disasters, technological disasters and man-made disasters. The forces that cause natural disasters cannot be controlled. Moreover, they are becoming more frequent in the current years due to phenomena of climate change. On and off incidences of cyclones, cloud bursting, floods, etc. are creating havoc in the lives of people. Technological disasters are due to improper and callous behavior at the different processes carried out in technical establishments. Man-made disasters are conflicts arising due to different religions, regions and terrorism. Give any one example of technological disaster that shook the entire India.

Read the following paragraph and answer the following questions given below it : Construction of a compound microscope : (i) Acompound microscope consists of a metal tube fitted with two convex lenses at the two ends. These lenses are called the objective lens ( the lens directed towards the object ) and the eyepiece ( the lens directed towards the eye ). Both the lenses are small in size , but the cross section of the objective lens has a short focal length . the focal length of the eyepiece is more than that of the objective lens . (ii) The metal tube is mounted on a stand . thr principal axes of the objective lens and the eyepiece are along the same line . The distance between the object and objective lens can be changed with a screw . It is possible to change the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece. Working : (i) The object to be observed is illuminated and placed in front of the objective lens. slightly beyond the focal length of the objective lens. it's real , inverted and enlarged image is formed by the objective lens on the other side. (ii) This intermediate image lies with in the focal length of the eyepiece. It serves as an object for the eyepiece. The eyepiece works as a simple microscope . the final image is virtual, highly enlarged and inverted with respect to the original object . It can be formed at the minimum distance of distinct vision from the eyepiece . The final image is observed by keeping the eye close to the eyepiece. Use: This microscope is used to observe blood cells , microorganisms , etc. Where do you place the object to be observed with a compound microscope ?

A ladder on the platform of a firebrigade van can be elevated at an angel of 70^(@) to the maximum. The length of the ladder can be extended upto 20m .If the platform is 2m above the ground, find the maximum height from the ground upto which the ladder can reach (sin 70^(@)=0.94)
