Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident on a slit of width 0.1 mm. The width of the central bright line on the screen is 2m. What is the distance of the screen?​
a)1 m
b)200 m
c)0.75 m
d)0.5 m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Swara Sharma answered
Beta(central Maxima)=2lambda D(distance of the screen)/d(distance between slits).

beta=2m.

wavelength= 500nm=5×10^-7m.

d=0.1mm=1×10^-4m.

2=2×5×10^-7 D/10^-4.

1=5×10^-3 D .

1/5×10^-3=D .

1000/5=D.

200m=D

    Unearthing the DNA sequences
  • c)
    Discovery of cell lines
  • d)
    Using the existing technology to produce new products
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
A biological patent is a patent on an invention in the field of biology that by law allows the patent holder to exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing the protected invention for a limited period of time. Hence, the correct option is c.

Diffraction of light gives the information of
  • a)
    Transverse nature
  • b)
    Longitudinal nature
  • c)
    Both transverse and longitudinal
  • d)
    Neither transverse nor longitudina
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Vijay Bansal answered
Transverse and longitudinal waves. Light and other types of electromagnetic radiation are transverse waves. Water waves and S waves (a type of seismic wave) are also transverse waves. In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of travel.

Diffraction pattern cannot be observed with:
a)one wide slit
b)two narrow slits
c)one narrow slit
d)large number of narrow slits
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Mehta answered
If one illuminates two parallel slits, the light from the two slits again interferes. Here the interference is a more pronounced pattern with a series of alternating light and dark bands. ... He also proposed (as a thought experiment) that if detectors were placed before each slit, the interference pattern would disappear.

The phenomena diffraction can take place in sound waves.
  • a)
    Yes
  • b)
    No
  • c)
    Only Interference
  • d)
    Under certain conditions only
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Singh answered
YES, Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal, meaning that they oscillate parallel to the direction of their motion. Since there is no component of a sound wave's oscillation that is perpendicular to its motion, sound waves cannot be polarized

Which of the following undergoes largest diffraction?
  • a)
    Ultraviolet light
  • b)
    Infra red light
  • c)
    Radio waves
  • d)
    Y – rays
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Sharma answered
Maximum diffraction occurs when size of obstacle is almost equal to wavelength of light wave. Hence maximum diffraction occurs for larger wavelength . As wavelength of radio wave is higher than others, maximum diffraction will occur for it.   

A transgenic food crop which may help in solving the problem of night blindness in developing countries is
  • a)
    Bt soybean
  • b)
    Flavrsavr tomatoes
  • c)
    Golden rice
  • d)
    Starlink maize
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Chirag Ghosh answered
Golden Rice as a solution to night blindness

Golden Rice is a genetically modified rice variety that has been developed to help combat vitamin A deficiency, which can lead to night blindness and other health problems in developing countries. The rice is genetically modified to produce beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which is not naturally found in traditional rice varieties.

How does Golden Rice work?

Golden Rice is genetically engineered to produce beta-carotene in the endosperm of the rice grain, which is the part of the plant that is eaten. Beta-carotene is a pigment that gives fruits and vegetables their orange or yellow color, and it is also a precursor to vitamin A. When humans consume beta-carotene, it is converted to vitamin A in the body.

Why is Golden Rice important?

Vitamin A deficiency is a serious health problem in many developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia and Africa. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 250 million preschool children are vitamin A deficient, and it is estimated that between 250,000 and 500,000 malnourished children become blind every year due to vitamin A deficiency. Golden Rice is one potential solution to this problem, as it provides a source of beta-carotene that can be converted to vitamin A in the body.

Conclusion

Golden Rice is a promising solution to the problem of vitamin A deficiency in developing countries, which can lead to night blindness and other health problems. While there is still some controversy surrounding genetically modified crops, Golden Rice has the potential to make a significant impact on the health and well-being of millions of people around the world.

The change in diffraction pattern of a single slit, when the monochromatic source of light is replaced by a source of white light will be
  • a)
    Diffracted image is not clear
  • b)
    Diffracted image gets dispersed into constituent colours of white light
  • c)
    The image of the slit becomes infinitely wide
  • d)
    Clear colourful fringe pattern
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
  • When a source of white light is used instead of a monochromatic source, the diffracted image of the slit gets dispersed into constituent colours of white light.
  • The central maximum will be white and on either side of the central maximum, there will be coloured fringes.

Which can be deduced correctly regarding keto-enol tautomerism in general?
  • a)
    Increasing temperature increases the enol content at equilibrium
  • b)
    Mono-enols are usually more stable than dienols
  • c)
    Enols of ketones are generally more stable than enols of aliphatic aldehydes
  • d)
    Keto-enol taytomerism is catalysed by both acidic and basic catalys
Correct answer is option 'A,B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Increasing temperature increases equilibrium content of less stable enol tautomers.
Enolisation decreases stability, hence introducing two or more enol groups are further more difficult.
Enols of ketones are more substituted at double bond, hence more stable.
Both acid and base catalyses keto-enol tautomerism.

  • a)
    2
  • b)
    3
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    7
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Devanshi Mehta answered
Possible Mono-enols in Hexane-2,4-dione

Hexane-2,4-dione, also known as Acetylacetone, has the following structure:

CH3COCH2COCH3

Mono-enol is the product obtained when one enolizable hydrogen atom of a compound is replaced by a hydroxyl group (-OH).

To determine the number of different mono-enols possible in hexane-2,4-dione, we need to identify the enolizable hydrogen atoms. These are the hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms that are adjacent to the carbonyl groups (-CO-).

In hexane-2,4-dione, there are two such hydrogen atoms, one on each side of the molecule. Therefore, there are two possible enols that can be formed:

- The first enol is formed by replacing the hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the ketone (-CO-) group on the left side of the molecule. This enol is called the alpha-enol or 1-enol.

CH3COCH=C(OH)CH3

- The second enol is formed by replacing the hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the ester (-COO-) group on the right side of the molecule. This enol is called the beta-enol or 3-enol.

CH3C(OH)=CHCOCH3

However, each of these enols can exist in two different tautomeric forms: keto and enol. Tautomerism is the phenomenon where a compound exists in two or more isomeric forms that differ only in the position of a hydrogen atom and a double bond.

- The keto form is the one in which the compound has a carbonyl group (-CO-) and no hydroxyl (-OH) group.
- The enol form is the one in which the compound has a double bond (-C=C-) and a hydroxyl (-OH) group.

Therefore, there are four possible mono-enols in hexane-2,4-dione:

- The alpha-keto-enol form, also known as 1,3-diketone form.
- The alpha-hydroxy-ketone form or 1-enol form.
- The beta-keto-enol form, also known as the 3,5-diketone form.
- The beta-hydroxy-ketone form or 3-enol form.

However, each of these forms can also exist as a mixture of both tautomeric forms, keto and enol. Therefore, a total of seven different mono-enols are possible in hexane-2,4-dione:

- Alpha-keto-enol form (1,3-diketone)
- Alpha-enol-keto form (1-enol)
- Alpha-enol-enol form (1-enol)
- Beta-keto-enol form (3,5-diketone)
- Beta-enol-keto form (3-enol)
- Beta-enol-enol form (3-enol)
- Beta-enol-enol-keto form (3-enol)

Therefore, the correct answer is option D, seven.

What is the correct order of equilibrium enol content of the following compounds?
I. CH3COCH3
II. CH3COCH2COOC2H5
III. CH3COCH2COCH3
IV. CH3COCH2COH
  • a)
    I > II > III > IV
  • b)
    I > IV > III > II
  • c)
    IV > II > III > I
  • d)
    III > IV > II > I
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Asha Nair answered
A 1,3-diketo compound forms more stable enol than a monocarbonyls. Also ester group forms less stable enol than carbonyls. Hence, III, a 1 , 3-diketo ne form s highest enol content while I (monocarbonyl) forms least enol content at equilibrium.

Arrange the following in the increasing order of stability of their most stable enol.
  • a)
     I < II < III < IV
  • b)
    IV < III < II < I 
  • c)
    II < I < IV < III
  • d)
    III < IV < II < I
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Diketo (I) forms highest enol content due to stabilisation of enol by intermolecular H-bonding. Electron donating resonance effect by ester group slightly decreases enol content.
