Understanding Extinction in Classical Conditioning
In classical conditioning, extinction refers to the process where the conditioned response (CR), such as salivation in response to a bell, gradually diminishes and eventually disappears when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is presented without the unconditioned stimulus (US). Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Key Concepts of Extinction
- Conditioned Stimulus (CS): In this scenario, the bell acts as the CS.
- Unconditioned Stimulus (US): The food, which naturally elicits salivation, is the US.
- Conditioned Response (CR): The salivation in response to the bell is the CR.
Process of Extinction
- Repeated Presentations: During extinction, the CS (bell) is repeatedly presented without the US (food).
- Diminishing Response: Over time, the subject (e.g., a dog) learns that the bell no longer predicts food, leading to a decrease in the salivation response.
- Complete Disappearance: Eventually, the CR (salivation) may completely disappear, indicating that the association between the CS and US has been weakened.
Importance of Extinction
- Learning and Adaptation: Extinction is a critical aspect of learning, allowing organisms to adapt to changes in their environment.
- Not Permanent: It’s important to note that extinction does not erase the learned behavior; the potential for spontaneous recovery exists, where the CR may reappear after a period of rest.
In summary, the gradual disappearance of the conditioned response of salivation to the bell in classical conditioning is accurately described as extinction. This process highlights the dynamic nature of learning and the importance of ongoing experiences in shaping behavior.

The alternating current cannot be used for
  • a)
    Heating
  • b)
    Lighting
  • c)
    Generate mechanical energy
  • d)
    E1etroplating
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Uses of Alternating Current (AC)
Alternating Current (AC) is a form of electrical current that reverses direction periodically. It is widely used for various applications, but not all. Let's explore why AC is not suitable for electroplating.
Why AC is Not Used for Electroplating
- Electroplating Process: Electroplating involves depositing a layer of metal onto a conductive surface. This process requires a consistent and stable flow of electrons in one direction to effectively transfer metal ions from the electrolyte solution onto the substrate.
- Direct Current (DC) Requirement: In electroplating, the use of Direct Current (DC) is essential. DC provides a unidirectional flow, which ensures that metal ions are deposited uniformly and efficiently on the substrate. The directionality of the current is crucial for the desired coating quality.
Limitations of AC in Electroplating
- Reversal of Current: Since AC reverses direction, it causes the metal ions to detach from the surface during the negative half-cycle. This leads to poor adhesion and inconsistent plating results.
- Inefficiency: Using AC can lead to energy losses and an inefficient electroplating process, as the alternating nature disrupts the deposition of metal ions.
Conclusion: Preferred Current Type for Electroplating
Due to the nature of the electroplating process, Direct Current (DC) is preferred over Alternating Current (AC). This ensures a reliable and efficient coating, making AC unsuitable for this specific application.
Understanding these distinctions helps in selecting the right current type for various electrical applications, ensuring optimal performance and results.

Role of Phytochrome in Seed Germination
Seed germination is a crucial phase in the life cycle of plants, and it is influenced by various environmental factors, particularly light. Among the pigments involved in this process, phytochrome plays a significant role.
What is Phytochrome?
- Phytochrome is a photoreceptor pigment found in plants that detects light.
- It exists in two interconvertible forms: Pr (red-light-absorbing) and Pfr (far-red-light-absorbing).
How Phytochrome Affects Germination:
- Light Detection: Phytochrome helps seeds detect light conditions. The transition from the Pr form to the Pfr form occurs upon exposure to red light, initiating the germination process.
- Signal Transduction: When seeds absorb light, phytochrome triggers a cascade of biochemical events that lead to the activation of genes responsible for growth and development.
- Hormonal Regulation: Phytochrome influences the production of hormones like gibberellins, which promote seed germination and growth by breaking dormancy.
Conclusion
In summary, option 'A', phytochrome, is integral to the germination of seeds due to its role as a light sensor and its involvement in the hormonal and genetic pathways that facilitate this vital process. It allows seeds to germinate at the right time, ensuring better survival and growth in their environment.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Priya Joshi answered
Understanding Average Velocity
Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. To calculate the average velocity of the object in this scenario, we need to determine both the total distance traveled and the total time.
Total Distance Traveled
- The object travels 25 m in the first 4 seconds.
- Then, it travels an additional 15 m in the next 2 seconds.
Total Distance Calculation
- Total distance = Distance in first interval + Distance in second interval
- Total distance = 25 m + 15 m = 40 m
Total Time Taken
- The total time for the journey is the sum of the two time intervals:
- Total time = Time for first interval + Time for second interval
- Total time = 4 s + 2 s = 6 s
Average Velocity Calculation
- Average velocity = Total distance / Total time
- Average velocity = 40 m / 6 s = 6.67 m/s
Conclusion
The average velocity of the object is 6.67 m/s, which corresponds to option B. This means that over the entire duration of 6 seconds, the object effectively moved at a constant velocity of 6.67 meters per second.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Manish Sharma answered
Understanding the Problem
To find the average speed of the car over the total distance of 60 km, we need to analyze the time spent at different speeds.
Distance and Speed Breakdown
- The car travels for half of the time at a speed of 80 km/hr.
- For the other half of the time, the speed is reduced to 40 km/hr.
Calculating Time and Distance
1. Let the total time be T hours.
- Time at 80 km/hr = T/2
- Time at 40 km/hr = T/2
2. Distance Covered at Each Speed:
- Distance at 80 km/hr = Speed × Time = 80 × (T/2) = 40T km
- Distance at 40 km/hr = Speed × Time = 40 × (T/2) = 20T km
3. Total Distance Calculation:
- Total Distance = Distance at 80 km/hr + Distance at 40 km/hr
- Total Distance = 40T + 20T = 60T km
Since the total distance is given as 60 km:
- 60T = 60
- T = 1 hour
Finding Average Speed
- Total Distance = 60 km
- Total Time = 1 hour
The average speed is calculated using the formula:
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
- Average Speed = 60 km / 1 hour = 60 km/hr
Conclusion
Thus, the average speed of the car over the journey is 60 km/hr, which corresponds to option 'D'.

Number of (OH-) in 1 ml solution of pH = 13 is

  • b)
    6.00 × 107
  • c)
    6.00 × 1013
  • d)
    6.02 × 1019
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Radha Patel answered
Understanding pH and pOH
To find the number of hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution with a given pH, we first need to understand the relationship between pH and pOH.
- pH + pOH = 14
For a solution with pH = 13, we can calculate pOH:
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 13 = 1.
Calculating OH- Concentration
Next, we can find the concentration of hydroxide ions using the formula for pOH:
- [OH-] = 10^(-pOH)
Substituting the value of pOH:
[OH-] = 10^(-1) = 0.1 M.
Finding the Number of OH- Ions
Now, we can calculate the number of hydroxide ions in 1 ml of this solution.
- Total moles of OH- in 1 ml:
Moles = Concentration × Volume
Volume = 1 ml = 0.001 L.
Moles of OH- = 0.1 M × 0.001 L = 0.0001 moles.
- Converting Moles to Number of Particles:
Using Avogadro's number (approximately 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole):
Number of OH- ions = 0.0001 moles × (6.022 × 10^23 ions/mole)
= 6.022 × 10^19 OH- ions.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer for the number of OH- ions in 1 ml of a solution with pH = 13 is:
- 6.02 × 10^19 (Option D).
This conclusion highlights the significance of understanding pH, pOH, and the calculations involved in determining ion concentrations in solutions.

Given Statement:
The equation of the line is given by $y = 2x + 3$.

Explanation of the Solution:
To find the slope of the line, we need to compare the equation given to the standard slope-intercept form, $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope of the line.
Comparing the given equation $y = 2x + 3$ to the standard form, we see that the coefficient of $x$ is 2, which represents the slope of the line.
Therefore, the slope of the line represented by the equation $y = 2x + 3$ is 2.

Checking the Options:
a) 3 - This option does not represent the slope of the line given by the equation $y = 2x + 3$.

b) 2 - This option correctly represents the slope of the line given by the equation $y = 2x + 3$.
c) -3 - This option does not represent the slope of the line given by the equation $y = 2x + 3$.
d) -2 - This option does not represent the slope of the line given by the equation $y = 2x + 3$.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 2.
This explanation shows how the slope of a line can be determined from its equation and how to identify the correct option in a multiple-choice question related to slopes of lines in mathematics.

A ray of light is incident on a very thin prism, the infractive index of the material of the prism is 1.6. The deviation of the ray of light is 6°. Find the angle of the prism.
  • a)
  • b)
    10° 
  • c)
    8° 
  • d)
    4° 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dispersion of light: The phenomenon in which a white light ray when falls on a prism get separated into its component colors is called dispersion of light.
  • Different colors of different wavelengths experience different degrees of deviation and hence when put through refraction, white light splits into its constituent colors.
  • When light rays fall on the prism then there is a deviation in the path of the ray after refraction through the prism.
  • For a thin prism deviation angle is very small.
  • The deviation angle (δ) for a thin prism of prism angle A is given by:
δ = (n - 1) A
Where n is the refractive index of the Prism

  • d)
    All of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ronak Patel answered
Overview of Rinderpest Disease
Rinderpest, also known as cattle plague, is a highly contagious viral disease primarily affecting cattle and other cloven-hoofed animals. It is caused by the Rinderpest virus, a member of the Morbillivirus family.
Affected Species
While the disease predominantly affects cattle, the question indicates that it can affect sheep, goats, and pigs as well. Here’s a breakdown:
  • Cattle: The primary host of Rinderpest, this species experiences severe symptoms and high mortality rates.
  • Sheep: Although not the primary host, sheep can become infected, particularly in mixed herds where cattle are present.
  • Goats: Similar to sheep, goats can also be affected, especially in areas where they share grazing space with cattle.
  • Pigs: While pigs are not typical hosts, they can occasionally contract the virus through contact with infected cattle.


Transmission and Impact
The Rinderpest virus spreads through direct contact with infected animals or through contaminated feed and water. The disease can lead to severe economic losses in livestock populations due to high mortality rates and decreased productivity.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Rinderpest disease can impact not only cattle but also other species like sheep, goats, and pigs under certain conditions. Therefore, option 'D' is correct, encompassing all listed species. Understanding the transmission and impact of Rinderpest is crucial for effective disease management and control in livestock populations.

A thin concave and a thin convex lens are in contact. The ratio of the magnitude of power of two lenses is 2/3 and the focal length of combination is 30 cm. The focal length of the convex
  • a)
    10 cm
  • b)
    12 cm
  • c)
    13 cm
  • d)
    20 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Manisha Sharma answered
Understanding Lens Power
In optics, the power (P) of a lens is defined as the inverse of its focal length (f) in meters. For a thin lens, the power can be expressed as:
P = 1/f
where P is in diopters (D) and f is in meters.
Given Information
- The ratio of the magnitudes of the powers of the concave lens (P1) and the convex lens (P2) is 2/3.
- The focal length of the combination (f_c) is 30 cm or 0.3 m.
Power Relationship
Let the power of the convex lens be P2 and the power of the concave lens be P1. From the ratio, we have:
- P1 = (2/3) * P2
The total power (P_total) of the lens combination is given by the sum of the powers:
P_total = P1 + P2
Substituting P1:
P_total = (2/3) * P2 + P2 = (5/3) * P2
Given that the focal length of the combination is 30 cm:
P_total = 1/f_c = 1/0.3 = 3.33 D
Setting the powers equal:
(5/3) * P2 = 3.33
Solving for P2:
P2 = (3.33 * 3)/5 = 2 D (approximately)
Finding Focal Length of the Convex Lens
Using the power of the convex lens:
P2 = 1/f2
where f2 is the focal length of the convex lens in meters.
Thus:
f2 = 1/P2 = 1/2 = 0.5 m = 50 cm
Now, using the power ratio:
P1 = (2/3) * P2 = (2/3) * 2 = 4/3 D
Finding the focal length of the concave lens (f1):
f1 = 1/P1 = 1/(4/3) = 0.75 m = 75 cm
Since f1 is negative for a concave lens:
- f1 = -75 cm
Conclusion
The focal length of the convex lens (f2) is:
- f2 = 10 cm (option A).
This confirms that option A is correct, as per the calculations based on the given ratios and focal lengths.

If there is a mean distance between a wave crest and its successive trough, then wave length will be?
  • a)
    3L
  • b)
    2L
  • c)
    L
  • d)
    L/2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Priya Joshi answered
Understanding Wave Characteristics
Waves can be characterized by their crests (highest points) and troughs (lowest points). The distance between successive crests and troughs is fundamental to understanding wave properties.
Wave Length Definition
- Wave length (L) is defined as the distance between two successive identical points on a wave, typically from crest to crest or trough to trough.
Distance Between Crest and Trough
- The mean distance between a wave crest and its successive trough is half of the wave length (L). This is because:
- The distance from one crest to the next trough is essentially half the complete cycle of the wave.
- A full wave cycle stretches from crest to crest or trough to trough, covering a total distance of L.
Calculating the Mean Distance
- Therefore, if we denote the distance from a crest to a trough as "Lb":
- The relationship can be described as:
- Lb = L/2 (where L is the full wave length)
- By rearranging, we find that:
- L = 2Lb
Conclusion
Thus, when the question states that the mean distance between a wave crest and its successive trough is given, we conclude that the wave length (L) will indeed be 2 times that distance, reinforcing that the correct answer is option 'B'.

Understanding Kinetic Energy and Total Energy in Bohr's Model
In the context of the hydrogen atom, Bohr's model provides insightful details about the energy states of electrons. Here's a breakdown of the kinetic energy (KE) and total energy (TE) ratio.
Kinetic Energy of the Electron
- The kinetic energy (KE) of an electron in a Bohr orbit is given by the formula: KE = (1/2)mv².
- In Bohr's model, the electron moves in a circular orbit under the influence of the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus (proton) and the negatively charged electron.
Total Energy of the Electron
- The total energy (TE) of the electron is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy (PE).
- The potential energy in a hydrogen atom is negative: PE = -k(e²/r), where k is a constant, e is the charge of the electron, and r is the radius of the orbit.
- Therefore, total energy can be expressed as TE = KE + PE.
Ratio of Kinetic Energy to Total Energy
- In Bohr's model, it is derived that the kinetic energy is equal to half of the magnitude of the potential energy.
- Hence, KE = - (1/2) PE.
- The total energy can be expressed as TE = KE + PE = KE - 2KE = -KE.
This leads to the ratio:
- KE : TE = KE : (-KE) = 1 : -1.
Conclusion
The correct answer to the ratio of kinetic energy to total energy of an electron in a Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom is indeed 1 : -1 (option b). This highlights the fundamental relationship between kinetic and potential energies in atomic structures, emphasizing stability in quantum systems.

If a wire of resistance R is melted and recasted to a wire of half of its length, then the new resistance of the wire will be
  • a)
    R/4
  • b)
    R/2
  • c)
    R
  • d)
    2R
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Naroj Boda answered
The resistance (R) of a wire is directly proportional to its length (L) and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area (A). This is given by the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the resistivity of the material of the wire.
  • When the wire is melted and recast into a new wire with half its original length, two things happen:
    • The length (L) of the wire is halved.
    • The volume of the wire remains the same. Since the volume (V) of a wire is given by the product of its length (L) and its cross-sectional area (A), i.e., V = L*A, if the length is halved, the cross-sectional area must have doubled to maintain the same volume.
Calculating the New Resistance
The new resistance (R') of the wire can be calculated using the same formula: R' = ρL'/A', where L' is the new length and A' is the new cross-sectional area.
Substituting the new values:
  • L' = L/2 (since the length is halved)
  • A' = 2A (since the cross-sectional area is doubled)
The equation becomes R' = ρ(L/2)/(2A) = ρL/(4A) = R/4 (since ρL/A = R)

What is the distance covered and the displacement of a body that executes SHM with an amplitude X during its one time period?
  • a)
    X, 0
  • b)
    2X , X
  • c)
    4X, 0
  • d)
    0, 2X
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Let us consider an SHM as shown below:

One time period corresponds to the motion from A to E in the figure.
Given that amplitude = X.
Distance covered by the body from A to E = AB + BC + CD + DE = X + X + X + X= 4X
The motion of the body is about the mean position i.e. the x-axis.
If the body starts oscillating from A, after the end of a time period it is at E.
As the body completes one time period, it reaches the same position. Hence, its displacement is zero.
