From experimentally obtained gas laws, we have the ideal gas equation (obeyed by some gases at low pressure and high temperature) pV = RT for one mole. Combining these two results (assuming they can be combined), RT=(1/3)M c 2 =(2/3). M c 2 =(2/3)K; Hence, kinetic energy of 1 mole of an ideal gas K=(3/2)RT. Average K for 1 molecule = K/N = (3/2) RT/N = (3/2) kT where k is Boltzmann s constant. So, temperature T can be interpreted as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas. 9.

PAPER II PRACTICAL WORK- 15 Marks The experiments for laboratory work and practical examinations are mostly from two groups: (i) experiments based on ray optics and (ii) experiments based on current electricity. The main skill required in group (i) is to remove parallax between a needle and the real image of another needle. In group (ii), understanding circuit diagram and making connections strictly following the given diagram is very important. Polarity of cells and meters, their range, zero error, least count, etc. should be taken care of. A graph is a convenient and effective way of representing results of measurement. It is an important part of the experiment. (d) Elementary idea of discreet and integrated circuits, analogue and digital signals. Logic gates as given; symbols, input and output, Boolean equations (Y=A+B etc.), truth table, qualitative explanation. NOT, OR, AND, NOR, NAND. Combination of gates [Realization of gates not included]. Advantages of Integrated Circuits. There will be one graph in the Practical question paper. Candidates are advised to read the question paper carefully and do the work according to the instructions given in the question paper. Generally they are not expected to write the procedure of the experiment, formulae, precautions, or draw the figures, circuit diagrams, etc. 163 Observations should be recorded in a tabular form. Deductions Record of observations (i) The slope S of the best fit line must be found taking two distant points (using more than 50% of the line drawn), which are not the y y y1 . plotted points, using S = 2 = x x2 x1 Slope S must be calculated upto proper decimal place or significant figures as specified in the question paper. All observations recorded should be consistent with the least count of the instrument used (e.g. focal length of the lens is 10.0 cm or 15.1cm but 10 cm is a wrong record.) All observations should be recorded with correct units. Graph work (ii) All calculations should be rounded off upto proper decimal place or significant figures, as specified in the question papers. Students should learn to draw graphs correctly noting all important steps such as: (i) Title NOTE: (ii) Selection of origin (should be marked by two coordinates, example 0,0 or 5,0, or 0,10 or 30,5; Kink is not accepted). (i) The axes should be labelled according to the question (ii) Uniform and convenient scale should be taken and the units given along each axis (one small division = 0.33, 0.67, 0.66, etc. should not to be taken) (iii) Short answer type questions may be set from each experiment to test understanding of theory and logic of steps involved. Given below is a list of required experiments. Teachers may add to this list, keeping in mind the general pattern of questions asked in the annual examinations. Students are required to have completed all experiments from the given list (excluding demonstration experiments): Maximum area of graph paper (at least 60% of the graph paper along both the axes) should be used. (iv) Points should be plotted with great care, marking the points plotted with (should be a circle with a dot) or . A blob ( ) is a misplot. (v) The best fit straight line should be drawn. The best fit line does not necessarily have to pass through all the plotted points and the origin. While drawing the best fit line, all experimental points must be kept on the line or symmetrically placed on the left and right side of the line. The line should be continuous, thin, uniform and extended beyond the extreme plots. 1. To find focal length of a convex lens by using u-v method (no parallax method) Using a convex lens, optical bench/metre scales and two pins, obtain the positions of the images for various positions of the object; f<u<2f, u~2f, and u>2f. Draw the following set of graphs using data from the experiments (i) against u. It will be a curve. v (ii) Magnification m = against which is u a straight line and to find focal length by intercept. (iii) y = (100/v) against x = (100/u) which is a straight line and find f by intercepts. (vi) The intercepts must be read carefully. Y intercept i.e. y0 is that value of y when x = 0. Similarly, X intercept i.e. x0 is that value of x when y=0. When x0 and y0 are to be read, origin should be at (0, 0). 2. To find f of a convex lens by displacement method. 164 3.
