SUMMARY

4. Quiz: Knowledge Assessment

Example 1.1

1.3 A calorie is a unit of heat (energy in transit) and it equals about 4.2 J where 1J = 1 kg m² s⁻². Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals α kg, the unit of length equals β m, the unit of time is γ s. Show that a calorie has a magnitude 4.2 α⁻¹ β⁻² γ² in terms of the new units.

1.5 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 s to cover this distance?

1.7 A student measures the thickness of a human hair by looking at it through a microscope of magnification 100. He makes 20 observations and finds that the average width of the hair in the field of view of the microscope is 3.5 mm. What is the estimate on the thickness of hair?

1.9 The photograph of a house occupies an area of 1.75 cm² on a 35 mm slide. The slide is projected on to a screen, and the area of the house on the screen is 1.55 m². What is the linear magnification of the projector-screen arrangement.

1.11 The length, breadth and thickness of a rectangular sheet of metal are 4.234 m, 1.005 m, and 2.01 cm respectively. Give the area and volume of the sheet to correct significant figures.

1.12 The mass of a box measured by a grocer's balance is 2.30 kg. Two gold pieces of masses 20.15 g and 20.17 g are added to the box. What is (a) the total mass of the box, (b) the difference in the masses of the pieces to correct significant figures?

1.13 A famous relation in physics relates 'moving mass' m to the 'rest mass' m₀ of a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light, c. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes:

1.14 The unit of length convenient on the atomic scale is known as an angstrom and is denoted by Å: 1 Å = 10⁻¹⁰ m. The size of a hydrogen atom is about 0.5 Å. What is the total atomic volume in m³ of a mole of hydrogen atoms?

1.15 One mole of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 L (molar volume). What is the ratio of molar volume to the atomic volume of a mole of hydrogen? (Take the size of hydrogen molecule to be about 1 Å). Why is this ratio so large?

1.17 The Sun is a hot plasma (ionized matter) with its inner core at a temperature exceeding 10⁷ K, and its outer surface at a temperature of about 6000 K. At these high temperatures, no substance remains in a solid or liquid phase. In what range do you expect the mass density of the Sun to be, in the range of densities of solids and liquids or gases? Check if your guess is correct from the following data: mass of the Sun = 2.0 ×10³⁰ kg, radius of the Sun = 7.0 × 10⁸ m.

            <p>Physics is fundamentally an experimental science, making the precision of measurement the cornerstone of all physical laws and theories. For a NEET aspirant, mastering the distinction between base and derived quantities is not merely a preliminary exercise but a prerequisite for navigating the complexities of the NCERT syllabus. This course begins with an analytical breakdown of the International System of Units (SI), examining the historical transition from systems like CGS and MKS to the current global standard. By rigorously defining the seven SI base units and understanding the necessity of retained non-SI units, students establish a robust framework for numerical problem-solving, ensuring that unit conversions—a frequent pitfall in competitive exams—become a source of accuracy rather than error.</p>

<p>Beyond basic measurement, the reliability of data hinges on the systematic application of significant figures and the quantification of uncertainty. This curriculum dissects the rules governing significant digits, scientific notation, and the propagation of errors during arithmetic operations, providing the analytical tools required to assess the precision of any given result. Furthermore, the course transitions into the powerful methodology of dimensional analysis. By applying the principle of homogeneity, aspirants will learn to verify the consistency of complex equations and deduce relationships between physical quantities. This dual focus on error precision and dimensional logic equips students with the ability to eliminate incorrect options rapidly and derive formulas from first principles, a critical skill for achieving a high percentile in the NEET Physics section.</p>
