When the thyroid gland fails to secrete the normal level of hormones, the condition is called thyroid dysfunction. It leads to the following conditions.
Hypothyroidism: It is caused due to the decreased secretion of the thyroid hormones. The abnormal conditions are simple goitre, cretinism and myxoedema.
Goitre:
(i) It is caused due to the inadequate supply of iodine in our diet.
(ii) This is commonly prevalent in Himalayan regions due to low level of iodine content in the soil.
(iii) It leads to the enlargement of thyroid gland which protrudes as a marked swelling in the neck and is called as goitre.
Cretinism:
(i) It is caused due to decreased secretion of the thyroid hormones in children.
(ii) The conditions are stunted growth, mental defect, lack of skeletal development and deformed bones. They are called as cretins
Myxoedema:
(i) It is caused by deficiency of thyroid hormones in adults.
(ii) They are mentally sluggish, increase in body weight, puffiness of the face and hand, oedematous appearance.
Hyperthyroidism:

Reversible Reactions: A reversible reaction is a reaction that can be reversed, i.e., the products can be converted back to the reactants. A reversible reaction is represented by a double arrow with their heads in the direction opposite to each other. Thus, a reversible reaction can be kept
Explanation: The compound 'AB' undergoes decomposition to form the products 'A' and 'B'. It is the forward reaction. As soon as the products are formed, they combine together to form 'AB': It is the backward reaction
PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + CI2(g)
Irreversible Reactions: The reaction that cannot be reversed is called irreversible reaction. Consider the combustion of coal into carbon dioxide and water.
C(s) + O2(g) ⟶ CO2(g)+ Heat
Coal oxygen Carbon dioxide
In this reaction, solid coal burns with oxygen and gets converted into carbon dioxide gas and water. As the product is a gas, as soon as it is formed it escapes out of the reaction container. It is hard to decompose a gas into a solid. Thus, the backward reaction is not possible in this case. So, it is an irreversible reaction

Nuclear fission |
Nuclear fusion |
|---|---|---|
| i | The process of breaking (splitting) up of a heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called "nuclear fission". | Nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. |

53.
Linear expansion:
(i) When a body is heated or cooled, the length of the body changes due to change in its temperature. This expansion is said to be a linear or longitudinal expansion.
(ii) The ration of increase in length of a body per degree celsius rise in temperature to its unit length is called the coefficient of linear expansion. Its SI unit is per Kelvin. The value of coefficient of linear expansion is different for different materials.

(iii) The equation relating the change in length to the change in temperature of a body is given below:
\(\frac { \triangle L }{ { L }_{ 0 } } \) =αL ΔT
ΔL - Change in length
L0 - Original length
ΔT - Change in temperature
αL - Coefficient of linear expansion.

Cross pollination takes place through the agency of animals, insects, wind and water.
Pollination by wind (Anemophily):
(i) The pollination with the help of wind is called anemophily.
(ii) The anemophilous flowers produce enormous amount of pollen grains.
(iii) The pollen grains are small, smooth, dry and light in weight.
(iv) The stigmas are comparatively large, protruding and sometimes hairy, to trap the pollen grains. E.g: Grasses and some cacti.
Pollination by insects (Entomophily):
(i) Pollination with the help of insects like honey bees, flies are called entomophily.
(ii) To attract insects these flowers are brightly coloured, have smell and nectar
(iii) The pollen grains are larger in size, the exine is pitted, spiny etc., so they can be adhered firmly on the sticky stigma. Approximately, 80% of the pollination done by the insects is carried by honey bees.
Pollination by Water: The pollination with the help of water is called hydrophily. This takes place in aquatic plants.
(i) Pollen grains are produced in large numbers.
(ii) Pollen grains float on surface of water till they land on the stigma of female flowers. E.g:Hydrilla, Vallisneria. Pollination by Animals :
(i) When pollination takes place with the help of animals, it is called Zoophily.
(ii) Flowers of such plants attract animals by their bright color, size, scent etc. E.g: Sun bird pollinates flowers of Canna, Gladioli etc., Squirrels pollinate flowers of silk cotton tree.

(i) Let M be the mass of the Earth and m be the mass of the object.
(ii) The entire mass of the earth is assumed to be concentrated at its centre. The radius of the earth is R (= 6378 km = 6400 km approximately).
(iii) By Newton's law of gravitation, the force acting on the object is given by
F = G M m / R2 ............. (A)
(iv) According to Newton's second law, the force acting on the object is given by the product of its mass and acceleration. Here acceleration of the is under action of gravity hence a =g.
F=ma =mg
F = weight = mg
Comparing equations (A) and (B), we get
g= GM/ R2
Acceleration due to gravity
g=\(\frac { GM }{ { R }^{ 2 } } \).

The atomicity of an element can be derived using Avogadro's hypothesis. Let us consider the following equation
| H2(g) | + | CI2(g) | ➝ | 2HCI(g) |
| 1 volume | + | 1 volume | ➝ | 2 volumes (By Gay-Lussac's Law) |
According to Avogadro's law, 1 volume of any gas occupy 'n' number of molecules.
| n molecules |
+ n molecules |
➝ 2n molecules |
if n = 1 then
| 1 molecule | + | 1 molecule | ⟶ | 2 molecules. |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule | + | \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule | ➝ | 1 molecule |
(i) 1 molecule of hydrogen chloride gas is made up of \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule of hydrogen and \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule of chlorine
(ii) But 1 molecule of hydrogen chloride contains one atom of hydrogen and I atom of chlorine
(iii) Hence \(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule of hydrogen = 1 atom of hydrogen
(iv) Or 1 molecule of hydrogen = 2 atoms of hydrogen
(v) So the atomicity of hydrogen is 2, and molecular formula is H2
Similarly,
\(\frac{1}{2}\) molecule of chlorine = 1 atom of chlorine 1molecule of chlorine = 2 atoms of chlorine So the atomicity of chlorine is 2, and its molecular formula is Cl2

To find: True (or) Actual length l2 = ?
\(\frac { \triangle l }{ l\triangle T } =\frac { ({ l }_{ 2 }-{ l }_{ 1 }) }{ { l }_{ 1 }(t_{ 2 }-{ t }_{ 1 }) } \)
l2 = I1 (1 + α (t2 - t1)
∴ l2 = 50 x (1 + 18 x 10 -6 x (25 - 0)
= 50 x (1 + 450 x 10-6)
= 50 x (1 + 0.00045)
∴ l2 = 50.225 cm
The true length of the object at 00C =50.225 cm.

Focal length, f = - 20 cm (concave lens)
h0 = 5 cm
Height of the object, h0 = 5 cm
Image distance v = -15 cm
\(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\frac { 1 }{ v } -\frac { 1 }{ u } \quad \frac { 1 }{ v } -\frac { 1 }{ f } \)
=\(\frac { 1 }{ u } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ u } =\frac { 1 }{ -15 } +\frac { 1 }{ (20) } \)
=\(\frac { -20+15 }{ 300 } =\frac { -5 }{ 300 } \)
u = -60 cm
Magnification, m = \(\frac { { h }_{ i } }{ { h }_{ 0 } } =\frac { v }{ u } \)
hi = \(\frac { v }{ u } \).h0
Size of the image, hi =\(\frac { -15 }{ -60 } \) x 5
= \(\frac { 5 }{ 4 } \) = 12.5 cm
Image is diminished & Virtual

Given
Frequency g car's distance, n = 800 Hz
Velocity of source, Vs = 120ms-1
Velocity of sound, v = 340 ms-1
To find: Frequency emitted by the car, n' = ?
Solution
Apparent frequency, n' =\(\left( \frac { v }{ v-{ v }_{ s } } \right) \times n\)
\(=\frac { 340 }{ 340-120 } \times 800\)
\(=\frac { 340 }{ 220 } \times 80\)
Apparent frequency, n' = 1236 Hz

Given :
Charge passing through bulb, q = 30C
Current drawn by 100 W bulb, I = 680 x 10-3 A
To find: Time taken to pass
through the bulb t =? t=\(\frac{q}{I}\)
Solution :
\(I=\frac { q }{ t } =\frac { 30 }{ 680\times { 10 }^{ -3 } } \)
=441.173
Time required, t =7.35 min

Given:
Mass of the bullet, m = 20 x 10-3 kg
Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s
Final velocity, v = 0
Distance, s = 2 cm = 2 x 10-2m
To find: Force exerted by the bullet, f = ?
Using equations of motion,
v2 = u2 + 2 as
0 = (300)2 + 2(a) x 2 x 10-2
a=\(\frac { (300)^{ 2 } }{ 4\times 10^{ -2 } } =\frac { 9\times 10^{ 4 } }{ 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 } } \)
a = -2.25 x 106 m/s2
a = 2.25 x 106 m/s2
Average force,
F = ma
= 20 x 10-3 x 2.25 X 106
F = 45 x 10-3 = 4.5 x 104 N

Gram molecular of CO2 = 44g
Number of molecules present in 44g of CO2
= 6.023 X 1023
∴ Number of molecules present in 11g of CO2
= \(\frac{6.023\times{10}^{23}}{44}\)x 11
= 1.53 x 1023 molecules.

Rani did not wear a helmet. Some people wear a helmet but don't fasten the strap. When they fall down from the bike, the helmet falls off and they are injured. Thus a helmet worn properly can save lives.

The speed of the sound, \(v\alpha \sqrt { \frac { I }{ d } } \)
The value of \(\frac { I }{ d } \) is much higher for solids. So sound travels faster in solids then gases.
