Electric power \(P=\frac { { V }^{ 2 } }{ R } \)
For the same value of V, R is inversely proportional to P.
Therefore, lesser the power, greater the resistance
Hence, the bulb with 40 W, 220 V rating has a greater resistance.
19.
Rayleigh's scattering law states that "The amount of scattering of light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength.
Amount of scattering \(\text { 's' } \propto \frac{1}{\lambda^{4}}\)
20.
The reproductive period is marked by characteristic events repeated almost every month in physiologically normal woman (28 days with minor variation) in the form of a menstrual flow
The menstrual cycle consists of 4 phases:
(i) Menstrual or Destructive phase
(ii) Follicular or Proliferative Phase
(iii) Ovulatory Phase
(iv) Luteal or Secretory Phase
|
Phase |
Days |
Changes in Ovary |
Changes in Uterus |
Hormonal Changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Menstrual phase | 4-5 days | Development of primary follicles | Breakdown of uterine endometrial lining leads to bleeding | Decrease in progesterone and oestrogen |
| Follicular phase | 6th -13thday | Primary follicles grow to become a fully mature Graafian follicle | Endometrium regenerates through proliferation | FSH and oestrogen increase |
| Ovulatory phase | 14th day | The Graafian follicle ruptures, and releases the ovum( egg) | Increase in endometrial thickness | LH peak |
| Luteal phase | 15th-28th day | Emptied Graafian follicle develops into corpus luteum | Endometrium is prepared for implantation if fertilization of egg takes place. If fertilization does not occur corpus luteum degenerates, uterine wall ruptures, bleeding starts and unfertilized egg is expelled | LH and FSH decrease Corpus luteum produces progesterone and its level increases followed by a decline if menstrual bleeding occurs. |
21.

23.
Based on the position of centromere, the chromosomes are classified as Telocentric, Acrocentric, Submetacentric andMetacentric.
(i) Telocentric - The centromere is found on the proximal end. They are rod shaped chromosomes.
(ii) Acrocentric - The centromere is found at the one end with a short arm and long arm. They are also rod - shaped chromosomes.
(iii) Submetacentric - The centromere is found near the centre of the chromosome. Thus forming two unequal arms. They are J

(iv) Metacentric - The centromere occurs in the centre of the chromosome and form two equal arms. They are V shaped chromosomes.
24.
i) The digestive system includes the alimentary canal and the associated digestive glands.
ii) The alimentary canal consists of mouth, buccal cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, caecum, large intestine and anus.
iii) Mouth leads to the buccal cavity.
iv) Through the pharynx it reaches oesopbagus.
v) Oesophagus opens into the stomach followed by smallintestine.
vi) Caecum ispresent in between the snnall intestine and large intestine.
vii) Caecunm contains bacteria that helps in the digestion of cellulose.
viii) Large intestine has colon and rectum.
ix) It finally opens in to the anus.
x) The digestive glands are salivary glands, gastric glands, liver, pancreas and intestinal glands. The secretion of digestive glands help in digestion of food in the alimentary canal.

25.
(i) Corpus leuteum produces progestrone and its level increases followed by a decline if menstrual bleeding occurs.
(ii) Uterine wall ruptures bleeding starts and infertilized egg is expelled.
26.
(i) The first fluid which is released from the mammary gland after child birth is called as colostrum.
(ii) Milk production from alveoli of mammary glands is stimulated by prolactin secreted from the anterior pituitary.
(iii) The ejection of milk is stimulated by posterior pituitary hormone oxytocin.
27.
Leech is a parasite and sucks the blood of vertebrates and show adaptations.
(i) Suckers are present in the anterior and posterior ends of the body, by which the animal attaches itself to the body of the host.
(ii) The three jaws inside the mouth causes a triradiate or Y shaped wound in the skin of the host.
(iii) Saliva contains a protein called hirudin which prevents the blood clotting. Thus continuous supply of blood is maintained.
(iv) Blood is stored in the crop. It gives nourishment to the leech for several months. Hence, there is no digestive juices and enzyme.
28.
Impulse = Change in momentum
P = 60 N ; t = 10 s
Change in momentum = Force x time
= 60 x 10
Change in momentum = 600 Ns
