Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 6

A new unit of length is chosen such that the speed of light in vacuum is unity. What is the distance between the sun and the earth in terms of the new unit if light takes 8 min and 20 cover this distance?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 6

Here, Speed of light in vacuum, c = 1 new unit of length s-1
Time taken by light of sun to reach the earth
t = 8 min and 20 seconds = (8 x 60 + 20) s = 500 s
∴ Distance between the sun and the earth
S = ct = 1 new unit of length s-1 x 500 s
= 500 new unit of length

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 7

Light year is the distance travelled by light in free space in one year.

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 8

Light year is the unit of

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 8

1 light year = 9.46 x 1015 m
(Distance travelled by light in 1 year)

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 9

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 10

Which one of the following methods is used to measure distance of a planet or a star from the earth?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 10

Astronomers estimate the distance of nearby objects in space by using a method called stellar parallax, or trigonometric parallax. Simply put, they measure a star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as Earth revolves around the sun.

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 11

Which of the following properties of laser beam can be used to measure long distances?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 11

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 12

The distance of the moon from the earth is about 60 times the radius of the earth. What will be diameter of the earth (approximately in degrees) as seen from the moon?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 12


From figure,

∴ Diameter of the earth as seen from the moon is about 2.

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 13

The Sun's angular diameter is measured to be 1920". The distance of the sun from the earth is 1.496 × 1011m. What is the diameter of the sun?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 13

Here,
Distance of the sun from the earth, d = 1.496 × 1011m
Suns angular diameter, α = 192′′
∵ 1′′ = 4.85 × 10−6 rad
∴ α = 1920 × 4.85 × 10−6 rad
= 9.31 × 10−3 rad
Suns diameter, D = αd
D = (9.31 × 10−3)(1.496 × 1011)m
= 1.39 × 109m

Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 17

The ratio of molar volume to atomic volume for 1 mole of hydrogen is (Take size of hydrogen molecule to be 1 Å)

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of Length (NCERT) - Question 17

Volume occupied by 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP is known as molar volume.
∴ Molar volume = 22.4 litre = 22.4 x 10-3 m3  
Radius of hydrogen atom is r = 0.5 Å = 0.5 x 10-10 m


= 3.15 x 10-7 m3 
Their corresponding ratio is
