Study Notes
Introduction
- Pulling water with a pump is powered by electricity.
- Food provides muscular energy for humans and oxen to plow fields.
Types of Energy
- Different forms of energy exist like heat, light, chemical, potential, and muscular energy.
- Sources of energy include the sun, firewood, food, electric cells, electric generators, fossil fuels, etc.
Non-renewable Sources of Energy
- These sources are naturally formed over a long period and cannot be replenished easily.
- Examples include fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and mineral oil, as well as nuclear energy.
Renewable Sources of Energy
- These sources can be replenished readily after use.
- Examples include hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, biomass energy, and geothermal energy.
- It is important to prioritize the use of renewable sources of energy.
Fossil Fuels
- Fossil fuels are formed over millions of years from the remains of dead organisms.
- Examples include wood, coal, LPG, etc.
- Solar energy is a product of chemical reactions.
Formation of Fossil Fuels
- Dead organisms are buried under layers of sediments in oceans.
- High pressure and temperature over extended periods transform them into fossil fuels like coal and petroleum.
Advantages of Fossil Fuels
- Relatively cheap sources of energy
- Large deposits are available worldwide
- Easy to transport
- Versatile - used for various purposes
- Led to advancements in machinery for efficient energy utilization
Disadvantages of Fossil Fuels
- Non-renewable
- Cause air pollution
- Carbon dioxide released during combustion contributes to global warming
Ways of Saving Energy
- Use alternative energy sources like renewables
- Reduce unnecessary energy consumption
- Promote solar and wind energy
- Increase awareness about energy conservation
- Implement gobar gas plants, solar plants, and wind energy plants
Heat
- Essential form of energy for survival
- Used for cooking, maintaining body temperature, running engines, and industrial processes
- Sources of heat include the Sun, burning fuels (wood, kerosene, petrol, coal), and friction
Temperature
- Represents the degree of hotness or coldness of a body
- Measured using a thermometer
- SI unit is Joule
Types of Thermometers
- Clinical thermometer: Measures body temperature
- Laboratory thermometer: Measures temperature of liquids and substances
- Digital thermometer: Advanced technology for accurate temperature measurement
Working Principle of a Laboratory Thermometer
- Based on thermal expansion of mercury
- When heated, mercury expands inside a capillary tube, indicating the temperature
Units of Temperature
- Celsius (°C)
- Fahrenheit (°F)
- Kelvin (K) is the SI unit of temperature
Relationship between Temperature Scales
- Formulas for converting between scales:
- F = (9/5)C + 32
- K = C + 273
Sound
- Produced by vibrating objects
- Sound waves are a form of energy transmitted through a medium like air, water, or solid
- Sound cannot travel through a vacuum
Propagation of Sound
- Sound waves travel as longitudinal waves, characterized by compressions and rarefactions
- Sound travels faster through solids than liquids or gases
Types of Waves
- Longitudinal waves: Particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the wave's direction
- Transverse waves: Particles in the medium vibrate perpendicular to the wave's direction
- Examples of longitudinal waves: Sound waves, compression waves in a spring
- Examples of transverse waves: Ripples on water, waves in a stretched string, light waves
Measuring Sound
- Amplitude: Maximum displacement of a particle from its mean position
- Time period: Time taken for one complete wave cycle
- Wavelength: Distance between two successive crests or troughs
- Frequency: Number of complete waves passing a point in one second
- Velocity: Speed at which a wave travels
Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency
- Velocity of a wave is the product of its frequency and wavelength:
- v = f x λ
Loudness of Sound
- Loudness of a sound depends on its amplitude.
- The higher the amplitude, the louder the sound.
Measuring Loudness
- SI unit for measuring loudness is decibels (dB).
