The Sun is a hot plasma (ionized matter) with its inner core at a temperature exceeding `10^7` K, and its outer surface at a temperature of about 6000 K. At these high temperatures, no substance remains in a solid or liquid phase. In what range do you expect the mass density of the Sun to be, in the range of densities of solids and liquids or gases ? Check if your guess is correct from the following data : mass of the Sun = `2.0 ×10^(30)` kg, radius of the Sun = `7.0 × 10^8`
Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms : [Hint : Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few

Explain why (or how): (a) in a sound wave, a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice versa, (b) bats can ascertain distances, directions, nature, and sizes of the obstacles without any “eyes”, (c) a violin note and sitar note may have the same frequency, yet we can distinguish between the two notes, (d) solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves, but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases, and (e) the shape of a pulse gets distorted during propagation in a dispersive
Commercial Electrical EnergyAn electrical appliance uses a lot of electric energy when it is operated e.g., geysers heaters etc. The electrical energy consumed is dependent on the time for which a specific appliance of fixed power rating is used. However, the energy used in hour is denoted as `1 kWh=3.6 xx 10^6` joule. This is represented as 1 unit. Different electrical appliance have difference power consumption which is mentioned on the device clearly.A bulb is rated `60 W, 220 V`. It
