SECTION –C
Read the following and answer the following questions.

CASE Light spectrum is the many different wavelengths of energy produced by light source. Light is measured 1x4=4
in nanometers(nm).Each nanometer represents a wavelength of light or band of light energy.Visible light
is the part of spectrum from 380nm to 780nm.Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain
the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using
another similar prism. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to
the first prism. This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through second prism.He found a
beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the
idea that the sunlight is made up of seven colours.A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky
after rain.

49. Dispersion of light by glass prism takes place because


(a) The lights of different colours have different intensities.

CASE Salt of a strong acid and strong base is neutral with a pH value of 7. NaCl common salt is formed by a 1x4=4
combination of hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide solution. This is the salt that is used in food. Some
salt is called rock salts. Beds of rock salt were formed when seas of bygone ages dried up. The common

hydroxide, baking soda, washing soda, bleaching powder.

56. Which of the following salt is used for removing the permanent hardness of water
a) Washing soda b) Baking soda c) Bleaching powder d) NaOH
CASE Blood transports food,oxygen and waste materials in our bodies.It has plasma as the fluid medium. 1x4=4
A pumping organ(heart) is required to push the blood around the body.The blood flows through the
chambers of heart in a specific manner and direction. While flowing throughout the body, blood exerts
a pressure against the wall of the blood vessels through which it travels.

57. Oxygenated blood from lungs enters left atrium through:-


(a) Aorta (b) Pulmonary artery (c) Pulmonary vein (d)Vena cava

58. The rate of blood flow in the capillaries is very low because capillaries are:-
(a) Very narrow and have high resistance (b) Much wide and have low resistance
( c) Very narrow and have low resistance (d) Much wide and high resistance

59. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true about human heart?
I. It is a hollow muscular organ
II. It is four - chambered having three auricles and one ventricle.
III. It has different chambers to prevent the oxygen – rich blood from mixing with the blood containing
carbon dioxide.
IV. Arteries always carry blood away from the heart.
(a) I & II (b) II & III (c) I,II & III (d) I,III & IV

60. Study the table below and select the row that has the correct information:-
Body Fluid Contents
(a) Lymph Plasma + RBCs
(b) Plasma Blood – RBCs
( c) Blood Plasma + RBCs + WBCs + Platelets
