Chapter-12: Geometrical Optics

Chapter-12:  Geometrical Optics

Light is the main focus of this unit which describe different phenomena of light such as reflection, refraction and total internal reflection. This unit explains how images are formed by mirrors and lenses and will discuss working principle of compound microscope and telescope as: 

• describe the terms used in reflection including normal, angle of incidence, angle of reflection and state laws of reflection. 
• solve problems of image location by spherical mirrors by using mirror formula. 
• describe the passage of light through parallel-sided transparent material. 
• define power of a lens and its unit. 
• describe the correction of short-sight and long-sight. 

Chapter-18: Atomic Number and Nuclear Physics

Atomic and Nuclear Physics

The word atom is derived from the Greek word "otomos", meaning "indivisible". At one time, atoms were thought to be teh smallest particles of matter. Today we know that atoms are composite systems and contain even smaller particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. This unit: 

• describe the structure of an atom in terms of a nucleus and electrons. 
• describe the composition of the nucleus in terms of protons and neutrons. 
• explain the number of protons in a nucleus distinguishes one element from the other. 
• describe teh process of carbon dating to estimate the age of ancient objects. 
• describe hazards of radioactive materials. 

Chapter-17: Information and Communication Technology

We are living in the age of information and communication technology. Now-a-days telephone, mobile phone, fax machine, computer and internet are the main sources of contact. These sources have shortened the distances and have brought in contact the whole world. We should know what this Information and Telecommunication Technology is: 

• components of information technology
• the transmission of: 
• electric signals through wires 
• radio waves through air
• light signals through optical fibres
• describe function and use of fax machines, cell phones, photo phone and computer. 
• make a list of the use of E-mail and internet. 

Chapter-16: Basic Electronics

Electronics is that branch of applied physics which deals with the control of motion of electrons using different devices. Electronic devices being more effective and reliable have revolutionized the fields of telecommunication and information technology. This chapter providing: 

• explain the process of thermionic emission emitted from a filament. 
• describe the simple construction and use of an electron gun as a source of electronic beam. 
• describe the effect of electric field on an electron beam. 
• describe the effect of magnetic field on an electron beam. 
• describe the basic principle of CRO and make a list of its uses. 

Chapter-15: Electromagnetism

 

Here this post contains Short Question and Answers of Chapter 15 - Physics for 10th Class "Electromagnetism". Learn these question answers and other related stuff for exam preparation.

In Chapter-15 Electromagnetism is the study of magnetic effects of current. The uses of electromagnetism in different fields of science and technology is very wide. 

• Motors and electric meters are based on the effect of magnetism produced by the electric current in wires. 
• Generators produce electric current due to the movement of wires near very large magnets. 

Chapter-14: Current Electricity

 

Here this post contains Short Question and Answers of Chapter 14 - Physics for 10th Class "Current Electricity". Learn these question answers and other related stuff for exam preparation.

In Chapter-14 Current Electricity can be defined as the flow of electrons from one section of the circuit to another. Current Electricity is one of the main discovery through which we are highly dependent on to make our life easier. Benjamin Franklin is credited with the discovery of electricity.

Ch-13: Electrostatics

 

Here this post contains Short Question and Answers of Chapter 13 - Physics "Electrostatics". Learn these question answers and other related stuff for exam preparation.

In Chapter-13 Electrostatics can be defined as a branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charges. Charges reach their equilibrium positions rapidly, because the electric force is extremely strong.

SI Units in Physics

What is the SI Unit?

SI (Système International) unit is an international system of measurements that are used universally in technical and scientific research to avoid the confusion with the units. Having a standard unit system is important because it helps the entire world to understand the measurements in one set of unit systems. Following is the table with base SI units:

Name of the Quantity	SI Unit	SI Unit Symbol
Length (l)	Meter	m
Mass (M)	Kilogram	kg
Time (T)	Second	s
Electric current (I)	Ampere	A
Thermodynamic temperature (Θ)	Kelvin	K
Amount of substance (N)	Mole	mol
Luminous intensity (J)	Candela	cd

Physics Definitions

This post contains all the important definitions of Physics that you need for your O-Level, A-Level, Matriculation, Intermediate level notes. All the definitions provide in very simple way which will help to understand and learn easily.

Measurement:

Scalar quantities are quantities in which the magnitude is stated, but the direction is either not applicable or not specified. Vector quantities are quantities in which both the magnitude and the direction must be stated. Random errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities differ from the mean value with different magnitudes and directions. Systematic errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities are displaced from the true value by fixed magnitude and in the same direction. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with each other.
