Cotton is a natural fibre obtained from cotton plant. It easily catches fire and burns with a bright yellow flame. Upon burning it smells like burning paper because cotton is a plant product like paper.

Paheli went to the market to buy sarees for her mother. She took out a thread from the edge of the two sarees shown by the shopkeeper and burnt them. One thread burnt with a smell of burning hair and the other burnt with the smell of burning paper. Which thread is from a pure cotton saree and which one from a pure silk saree? Give reason for your answer.

Noor, a young student, was trying to demonstrate some properties of light in her Science project work. She kept ‘X’ inside the box (as shown in the figure) and with the help of a laser pointer made light rays pass through the holes on one side of the box. She had a small butter-paper screen to see the spots of light being cast as they emerged. What could be the ‘X’ that she placed inside the box to make the rays behave as shown?

Sumati wanted to see the stars of the night sky. She knows that she needs a telescope to see those distant stars. She finds out that the telescopes, which are made of lenses, are called refracting telescopes and the ones which are made of mirrors are called reflecting telescopes. So she decided to make a refracting telescope. She bought two lenses, L_(1) and L_(2) . out of which L_(1) was bigger and L_(2) was smaller. The larger lens gathers and bends the light, while the smaller lens magnifies the image. Big, thick lenses are more powerful. So to see far away, she needed a big powerful lens. Unfortunately, she realized that a big lens is very heavy. Heavy lenses are hard to make and difficult to hold in the right place. Also since the light is passing through the lens, the surface of the lens has to be extremely smooth. Any flaws in the lens will change the image. It would be like looking through a dirty window. Sumati did some preliminary experiment with the lenses and found out that the magnification of the eyepiece (L_(2)) is 3. If in her experiment with L_(2) she found an image at 24 cm from the lens, at what distance did she put the object?
