In a small town, wastewater from homes and industries is released into a local river without proper treatment. The town notices that the water quality of the river is deteriorating, leading to health problems among the people and affecting aquatic life. The town then constructs a sewage treatment plant to treat wastewater before releasing it back into the river. Answer the following questions: (a) What does the town notice? (b) What are the common steps involved in the treatment of wastewater? (c) How does untreated wastewater affect the environment and human health? OR (c) Why is it important to treat wastewater before releasing it into water bodies? Q29. A student is using a concave mirror to focus sunlight on a piece of paper. The student moves the mirror closer to the paper. At a certain point, the image of the sun is focused and forms a bright spot on the paper. However, as the mirror is moved further from the paper, the spot becomes larger and dimmer. Answer the following questions: (a) What type of image is formed when the concave mirror is positioned to focus sunlight? (b) Why does the spot become larger and dimmer when the mirror is moved away from the paper? (c) What is the relationship between the distance of the mirror from the paper and the size of the image formed? ORIf the distance between the object and image in a plane mirror is 2 meter then how far is the mage kept from the plane mirror? 30. A group of students were conducting an experiment in their school laboratory where they tested the pH of various solutions using litmus paper. They dipped red litmus paper into a solution of lemon juice and blue litmus paper into a solution of soap. The red litmus paper turned blue in the soap solution, and the blue litmus paper turned red in the lemon juice solution. Answer the following questions: (a) What does the colour change of litmus paper indicate about the nature of the solutions? (b) How would you classify lemon juice and soap in terms of acids and bases? (c) What would be the colour change of turmeric stain in soap solution? OR (c) Name any natural acidic and basic substances. ( 2 examples of each)
