A candidate in order to study the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis took a potted plant and kept it in the dark for over 24 hours. Then in the early hours of the morning she covered one of the leaves with black paper in the centre only. She placed the potted plant in the sunlight for a few hours, and then tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch. Is there any control in this experiment ? If so state the same.

A well-watered healthy potted plant with variegated leaves was kept in darkness for about 24 hours. It was then set-up as shown in the diagram below and exposed to light for about 12 hours. At the end of this time, leaf X and leal y were tested for starch. Study the diagram and answer the questions that follow The experiment with leaf Y shows that photosynthesis requires the presence of certain factors. Mention any one factor.

A plate of thickness t made of a material of refractive index mu is placed in front of one of the slits in a double slit experiment. (a) Find the changes in he optical path due to introduction of the plate. (b) Wht should be the minimum thickness t which will make the intensity at the centre of the fringe pattern zero ? Wavelength of the light used is lamda . Neglect any absorption of light in the plate.

An unruly demonstrator lifts a stone of mass 200 g from the ground and throuws it at his opponent. At the time of projection, the stone is 150 cm above the grond and has a speed of 3.00 m/s. Calculate the work doe by the demonstrator during the process. If it takes one second for the demonstrator tolift teh stone and throw, what horsepower does he use?

In a measurement of quantum efficiency of photosynthesis in green plants, it was found that 10 quanta of red light of wavelength 6850 Å were needed to release one molecule of O_(2) . The average energy storage in this process for 1 mol O_(2) evolved is 112 Kcal. What is the energy conversion efficieny in this experiment? Given: 1 cal =4.18 J, N_(A)=6xx10^(23),h=6.63xx10^(-34) J.s
