Study Notes

Physics

The absorptance of a body is the ratio of the amount of radiation absorbed to the amount of radiation incident on it.
If the reflectance and transmittance of a body are 0.4 and 0.3 respectively, the absorptance is 0.3 because the sum of reflectance, transmittance, and absorptance must equal 1.
The temperature on the W scale corresponding to 39°C on the Celsius scale is 139°W. This is determined by the linear relationship between the two scales, where the freezing point of water is 39°W and the boiling point is 239°W.
The correct value of 0°C on the Kelvin scale is 273.15 K.
The power of radiation emitted by a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature and the square of its surface area. So, a black body with double the radius and half the temperature has a power of 1/8 P.
Water equivalent is the mass of water that would absorb the same amount of heat as the body. The water equivalent of a body is calculated by dividing its heat capacity by the specific heat of water (1 cal/g°C).
When mixing liquids with different specific heats, the final temperature of the mixture is determined by the specific heats and the initial temperatures of each liquid.
Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This explains why the cooling time decreases as the temperature difference decreases.
Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct heat energy. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than steel, making it more efficient for heat transfer in cooking pans.
The heat capacity of a sphere is proportional to its volume, which is proportional to the cube of its radius. So, the ratio of heat capacities of two spheres with radii in the ratio 1:3 is 1:27.
A bimetallic strip bends when cooled due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the two metals. The metal with the higher coefficient of linear expansion will contract more, causing the strip to bend towards the side of the metal with the lower expansion coefficient.
The temperature at which the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales give the same reading is -40°C or 233.15 K.
Thermometric properties are properties of a substance that change with temperature. While pressure, volume, and resistance can be used as thermometric properties, pressure at constant temperature does not change with temperature and cannot be used.
Cubical expansion is the expansion of a material in three dimensions. The coefficient of cubical expansion is approximately three times the coefficient of linear expansion.
The coefficient of linear expansion is a measure of how much a material expands per degree Celsius. It can be calculated using the formula: ΔL/L = αΔT, where ΔL is the change in length, L is the original length, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Chemistry

Inductive effect is the transmission of electron density through σ bonds. In the incorrect direction, the electron density is withdrawn from the carbon atom adjacent to the substituent, making them slightly more positive.
The Carius method is used to detect halogens (Cl, Br, I) in an organic compound. This method involves heating the organic compound with fuming nitric acid in the presence of silver nitrate. The halogen is converted to a silver halide, which is precipitated.
The stability of a free radical is determined by factors such as hyperconjugation, resonance, and inductive effects:
- Tertiary free radicals (like (CH₃)₃C.* ) are more stable due to greater hyperconjugation.
Metamers are structural isomers that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of alkyl groups on either side of a functional group.

Botany

Lateral meristems, like the vascular cambium and cork cambium, are responsible for increasing the girth of the plant.
The typical growth curve in plants is sigmoid, characterized by an initial lag phase, followed by a rapid growth phase, and finally a plateau phase.
Arithmetic growth occurs when a constant amount of growth is added per unit time. This is seen in root elongation.
In the formula for geometric growth, 'e' represents the base of the natural logarithm, which is approximately 2.718.
Gibberellins are plant hormones that promote stem elongation, seed germination, and fruit development.
GA₃ is the most intensively studied form of gibberellins.
Auxins play a crucial role in apical dominance, which is the suppression of lateral bud growth by the apical bud. Auxins also promote xylem differentiation.
Cytokinins stimulate cell division, while gibberellins promote cell elongation. Together, they can improve the shape of apples and increase the length of grape stalks.
During cell elongation, increased vacuolation is observed, allowing for greater cell expansion.
Growth is an irreversible increase in size and volume, accompanied by metabolic processes. In living organisms, growth typically occurs from inside. Growth continues in plants throughout their lifespan; however, in animals, growth is mostly limited to a specific age period.
Synthetic auxins like 2, 4-D, IBA, and NAA are used in agriculture for various purposes. 2,4,5-T is a synthetic auxin, but it has been banned due to its environmental effects.
Arithmetic growth is characterized by constant growth rate, linear growth curve, and its absence in a stationary phase. It is commonly seen in root meristems.
When the apical bud is removed, the suppression of lateral buds by auxin is removed, leading to the growth of more lateral branches.
Tracheary elements are specialized cells in xylem that transport water. Their secondary cell wall is lignified for strength and elasticity, making them robust and resilient.
Some plants display different leaf shapes at the juvenile stage compared to the mature stage. This phenomenon is not observed in cotton.
The growth of a pollen tube is measured by its length, as this indicates the rate of its elongation towards the ovule.

Zoology

Arthropoda is the second largest phylum in the animal kingdom, after Mollusca.
Annelida, the phylum that includes earthworms, is characterized by metamerism (segmentation), nephridia (excretory organs), and parapodia (fleshy lobes for locomotion). Unlike arthropods, annelids do not have jointed appendages.
Sea cucumbers belong to the phylum Echinodermata. They are triploblastic and coelomate, meaning they have a three-layered body plan and a true body cavity. They possess a water vascular system for movement and feeding. While they are classified as marine animals, they undergo external fertilization
Molluscs have a mantle cavity that houses gills for respiration. The shape and structure of gills vary among different mollusc groups, including feather-like, filament-like, chambered, and bag-like gills.
In most molluscs, the digestive system is complete with the mouth on the ventral side and the anus on the dorsal side.
Open circulatory systems are characteristic of organisms like cockroaches, where blood flows through open spaces and not through a closed circulatory system.
Statocysts are sensory organs in crustaceans like prawns. They are responsible for balance by detecting changes in orientation.
Antedon is a member of the crinoid group within Echinodermata, commonly known as sea lilies.
Balanoglossus is a hemichordate with a cylindrical body divided into three regions: proboscis, collar, and trunk.
In Balanoglossus, the proboscis gland plays a key role in excretion.
Molluscs are triploblastic, meaning they have three germ layers in embryonic development. They are also unsegmented and bilaterally symmetrical.
Hirudinaria, a type of leech, is characterized by having a triploblastic and coelomate body, bilateral symmetry, and nephridia for excretion. It is not acoelomate.
Chitinous exoskeletons are crucial to survival on land for arthropods, providing structural support and protection.
Earthworms (Pheretima) and cockroaches (Periplaneta) share the common feature of having a segmented body.
