Question no. 37 to 39 are case-based/data -based questions with 2 to 3 short sub-parts. Internal choice is provided in
one of these sub-parts.
37. Refining is the process of purification of metals. One of the important method of refining is electrolysis. In
electrolysis, electrical energy is used to bring about a non-spontaneous redox reaction. This is done by passing
an electric current through a liquid containing ions, known as an electrolyte. In contrast to metals, the current
in electrolytes is carried by the movement of ions rather than the movement of electrons. The solid conductors
inserted into the liquid are called electrodes, the one with a positive charge is called the anode (because it attracts
anions) and the one with the negative charge is called the cathode.
A diagrammatic representation of electrolysis of copper is shown below :
38. The growing size of the human population is a cause of concern for all people. The rate of birth and death in a

going on. Some degree of sexual maturation does not necessarily mean that the mind or body is ready for sexual
acts or for having and bringing up children. Various contraceptive devices are being used by human beings to
control the size of population.
(i) List two common signs of sexual maturation in boys and girls.
(ii) What is the result of reckless female foeticide ?

38. To carry out a simple function such as eating food there has to be coordination of the eyes, hands and the mouth.
The eyes have to focus on the food, the hands have to pick it up and take it to the mouth where it will be chewed.
All these actions have to be coordinated in such a manner that they follow a particular sequence and the action
is completed. A similar mechanism is also needed for internal functions of the body. This function is carried out
by the nervous system.
It is composed of :
(a) specialised cells which can detect, receive and transmit different kinds of stimuli. These are called neurons.
(b) nerve fibres which are certain bundles of extended processes of nerve cells.
The individuals also have to adjust to the changing conditions of the body should vary their responses. At the
same time, the internal conditions of the body should be maintained constant. This is called homeostasis. The
internal conditions of the body are maintained at a constant by controlling the physiology of the organisms.
(i) What will the correct sequence in which conduction of information through nerves take place?
(ii) How homeostasis is said to maintain the equilibrium of the body?
(iii) What function does the central nervous system perform?
o
(iv) What happens when the dendrite tip of a nerve cell receives a signal?
39. “Change in path of a light ray as it passes from one medium to another medium is called refraction of light.”
When light travels from a rarer medium to a denser one, it bends towards the normal ^i > r h and when travels
from a denser medium to a rarer one. it bends away from the normal ^i < r h .
Where, i = Angle of incidence
and r = Angle of refraction
We can see refraction in our daily life, some of the examples are given below :
The bottom of a tank or pond containing water appears to be raised due to refraction of light which takes place
when light rays pass from the pool of water into the air. The letters appear to be raised when viewed through a
glass slab placed over the document because of refraction of light.
When a light ray enters in a glass slab, then the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but it is shifted
sideward slightly.
In this case, refraction takes place twice, first when ray enters glass slab from air and second when exits from glass
slab to air.
(i) What do you mean by optically rarer and denser medium ?
(ii) What is the cause of refraction ?
(iii) Draw a ray diagram showing refraction through a glass slab.
o
(iv) Give one example of refraction from our daily life experience other than the two examples given above.
