Q.52: Study the given diagram and answer any of the following questions.
Class 10 Science: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term I (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
The reactivity order of metals towards water is: 
(a) Zn > Fe > Al > Na > Ca
(b) Na > Ca > Zn > Fe > Al
(c) Al > Na > Ca > Zn > Fe
(d) Fe > Al > Na > Ca > Zn 

Correct Answer is Option (d)
The order of reactivity with water in descending order  is Na > K > Ca > Zn > Fe > Al  Sodium and potassium react violently with the release of huge amount of heat. So the reaction is highly exothermic. Hydrogen gas which is produced during the reaction catches fire.  Calcium reacts less violently with water. The heat evolved is not sufficient for the hydrogen to catch fire. Instead, calcium floats over water because bubbles of hydrogen gas stick to the metal surface Aluminium, iron and zinc react with steam to form respective oxide and hydrogen gas. Thus, metals react with water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas, which we can check by placing a match-stick near it.

Q.57: When lights of all colours are mixed in a certain proportion, the result is a colour less light, called white light. Sunlight is an example of white light. It is a mixture of lights of seven main colours. On refraction, lights of different colours bend by different amounts. So, when light made up of different colours gets refracted, its components tend to separate, or split. Normally, after refraction, the separation between the component colours of light is so little that they are not visible. But if the components get bent very sharply, the separated colours become visible. For example, when white light falls at certain angles on a glass prism, it splits into its seven component colours marked 1 to 7 as shown in figure. The various colours seen are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. The sequence of colour can be remembered as VIBGYOR.

Based on the above diagram, which of the following statements is correct? 
(a) The colour at position marked 5 is similar to the colour of gold metal. 
(b) The colour at position marked 2 has longer wavelength than 1. 
(c) The colour at position marked 7 is violet. 
(d) The colour at position marked 5 has higher speed than 1.

Correct Answer is Option (c)
The colour at position marked 7 is violet. Red is the least deviated colour as it has largest/ longest wavelength and violet is the most deviated colour as it has smallest wavelength in visible spectrum.

Q.58: When lights of all colours are mixed in a certain proportion, the result is a colour less light, called white light. Sunlight is an example of white light. It is a mixture of lights of seven main colours. On refraction, lights of different colours bend by different amounts. So, when light made up of different colours gets refracted, its components tend to separate, or split. Normally, after refraction, the separation between the component colours of light is so little that they are not visible. But if the components get bent very sharply, the separated colours become visible. For example, when white light falls at certain angles on a glass prism, it splits into its seven component colours marked 1 to 7 as shown in figure. The various colours seen are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. The sequence of colour can be remembered as VIBGYOR.

Choose the correct statement.
(a) The colours in the order of increasing wavelength are 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7.
(b) The colours in the order of increasing frequency are 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7.
(c) The colours in the order of decreasing speed are 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1.
(d) The colours in the order of decreasing deviation are 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7.

Correct Answer is Option (b)
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet are the seven colours of the white light spectrum in order of their increasing frequencies.

When a white light falls on a prism, the ray at its first surface suffers:
(a) No Refraction
(b) Dispersion Only
(c) Deviation Only
(d) Both (B) and (C)

Correct Answer is Option (d)
When a white light ray falls on the first surface of a prism, light rays of different colours due to their different speeds in glass get refracted (or deviated) through different angles. Thus, the dispersion of white light into its constituent colours takes place at the first surface of prism.
