Distinguish between cohesive and adhesive forces.

What are the factors affecting the surface tension of a liquid?

What do you mean by capillarity or capillary action?

A drop of oil placed on the surface of water spreads out. But a drop of water place on oil contracts to a spherical shape. Why?

Obtain an expression for the excess of pressure inside a

1. liquid drop
2. liquid bubble
3. air bubble

What is capillarity?

Obtain an expression for the surface tension of a liquid by the capillary rise method.

A capillary of diameter d mm is dipped in water such that the water rises to a height of 30 mm. If the radius of the capillary is made `(2/3)` of its previous value, then compute the height up to which water will rise in the new capillary?

A spherical soap bubble A of radius 2 cm is formed inside another bubble B of radius 4 cm. Show that the radius of a single soap bubble which maintains the same pressure difference as inside the smaller and outside the larger soap bubble is lesser than the radius of both soap bubbles A and B.

Why coffee runs up into a sugar lump (a small cube of sugar) when one corner of the sugar lump is held in the liquid?

Deduce Charles’ law based on kinetic theory.

Deduce Boyle’s law based on kinetic theory.

Deduce Avogadro’s law based on kinetic theory.

A sound wave whose frequency is 5000 Hz travels in air and then hits the water surface. The ratio of its wavelengths in water and air is ______.

What is meant by an echo? Explain.

Write short notes on reflection of sound waves from plane and curved surfaces.

Discuss in detail the energy in simple harmonic motion.

Show that for a particle executing simple harmonic motion.

1. the average value of kinetic energy is equal to the average value of potential energy.
2. average potential energy = average kinetic energy = `1/2` (total energy)

Hint: average kinetic energy = <kinetic energy> = `1/"T" int_0^"T" ("Kinetic energy") "dt"` and

average potential energy = <potential energy> = `1/"T" int_0^"T" ("Potential energy") "dt"`

Write a note on the triangulation method and radar method to measure larger distances.
