The radius of atom is of the order of 1 Å and the radius of nucleus is of the order of fermi. How many magnitudes higher is the volume of atom as compared to the volume of nucleus?

उत्तर
Radius of atom = 1 Å = 10–10 m
Radius of nucleus = 1 fermi = 10–15 m
Volume of atom = VA = `4/3 πR_A^3`
Volume of atom = `4/3 πR_A^3`
Volume of nucleus VN = `4/3 πR_N^3`
`V_A/V_N = (4/3 πR_A^3)/(4/3 πR_N^3)`
= `(R_A/R_N)^3`
= `(10^-10/10^-15)^3`
= 1015

There are two beautiful lakes near a village. People come for boating and picnics in both the lakes. The village Panchayat is worried that with the noise of the boats the birds will stop coming. The Panchayat wants motorboats in only one lake. The other lake will be saved for the birds to make their nests.

- How many cm is the length of the boundary of lake A in the drawing?(use thread to find out)
So Anar also tried many different ways to make a boundary for 800 square meters of land.
He made rectangles A, B, and C of different sizes. Find out the length of the boundary of each. How much gold wire will he get for these rectangles?
- A
Gold wire for A = _________ metres - B

Gold wire for B = _________ metres - C
Gold wire for C = __________ metres
But then Anar made an even longer rectangle... See how long!
- D

So he will get __________ metres of gold wire!!

- The earth-moon distance is about 60 earth radius. What will be the diameter of the earth (approximately in degrees) as seen from the moon?
- Moon is seen to be of (½)°diameter from the earth. What must be the relative size compared to the earth?
- From parallax measurement, the sun is found to be at a distance of about 400 times the earth-moon distance. Estimate the ratio of sun-earth diameters.
In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule.
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
- Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol?
- What is the role of lycopodium powder?
- What would be the volume of oleic acid in each mL of solution prepared?
- How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid?
- What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution?
