Ludhiana
26 January 20- –
Dear Madhu

As I know, you’re very interested in Raghav and his snakes. I thought I’d tell you about a conversation I’ve just heard between him and sheela.
He told her that he thought one of his snakes had escaped and, as usual, she told him to stop collecting them because they were dangerous. (Typical of sheela ! Don’t you think so ?)

she is so scared of snakes that she can’t bear even seeing one. The other day, she saw Raghav playing with a snake. Suddenly, the snake bit Raghav on his face. When sheela saw this, she gave a loud cry and fell down unconscious. She took an hour to come to herself. But then what a wonder for her to see ! The snake had died and no harm had come to Raghav. Can you tell why ? Waiting for your letter.

Your loving brother
Arun.

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Triangles Ex 7.3

Question 1.
∆ ABC and ∆ DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and D are on the same side of BC (see the given figure). If AD is extended to intersect BC at D show that,

(i) ∆ ABD ≅ ∆ ACD
(ii) ∆ ABP ≅ ∆ ACP
(iii) AP bisects ∠ A as well as ∠ D.
(iv) AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC.
Answer:
∆ ABC and ∆ DBC are isosceles triangles on the same base BC.
∴ In ∆ ABC, AB = AC and in ∆ DBC, DB = DC.
In ∆ ABD and ∆ ACD,
AB = AC
DB = DC
and AD = AD (Common)
∴ ∆ ABD s ∆ ACD (SSS rule) [Result (i)]
∴ ∠ BAD = ∠ CAD (CPCT)
In ∆ ABP and ∆ ACP
AB = AC
∠ BAP = ∠ CAP (∵ ∠ BAD = ∠ CAD)
and AP = AP (Common)
∴ ∆ ABP ≅ ∆ ACP (SAS rule) [Result (ii)]
∴ BP = CP (CPCT)
In ∆ DBP and ∆ DCR
DB = DC
BP = CP
and DP = DP (Common)
∴ ∆ DBP ≅ ∆ DCP (SSS rule)
From ∆ ABP ≅ ∆ ACR ∠ BAP = ∠ CAP (CPCT)
∴ AP bisects ∠A.
From ∆ DBP ≅ ∆ DCR ∠BDP = ∠ CDP (CPCT)
∴ DP bisects ∠D.
Thus, AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D. [Result (iii)]
∆ A ABP ≅ ∆ ACP
∴ BP = CP and ∠ APB = ∠ APC (CPCT)
But, ∠ APB + ∠ APC = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠ APB = ∠ APC = \(\) = 90°
Thus, BP = CP and AP ⊥ BC.
∴ AP is the perpendicular bisector of BC. [Result (iv)]

Question 2.
AD is an altitude of an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC. Show that:
(i) AD bisects BC
(ii) AD bisects ∠ A

Answer:
AD is an altitude of A ABC.
∴ ∠ ADB = ∠ ADC = 90°
In ∆ ADB and ∆ ADC,
hypotenuse AB = hypotenuse AC (Given)
∠ ADB = ∠ ADC (Right angles)
AD = AD (Common)
∴ ∆ ADB ≅ ∆ ADC (RHS rule)
∴ BD = CD and ∠ BAD = ∠ CAD (CPCT)
Now, BD = CD means D is the midpoint of BC.
Hence, AD bisects BC. [Result (i)]
Moreover, ∠ BAD = ∠ CAD and
∠ BAD + ∠ CAD = ∠ BAC.
Hence, AD bisects ∠A. [Result (ii)]

Question 3.
Two sides AB and BC and median AM of one triangle ABC are respectively equal to sides PQ and QR and median PN of ∆ PQR (see the given figure). Show that:
(i) ∆ ABM ≅ ∆ PQN
(ii) ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ PQR

Answer:
In ∆ ABC, AM is a median.
∴ BM = CM = \(\frac{1}{2}\) BC
In ∆ PQR, PN is a median.
∴ QN = RN = \(\frac{1}{2}\) QR
Now, BC = QR (Given)
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\) BC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) QR
∴ BM = QN
In ∆ ABM and ∆ PQN,
AB = PQ (Given)
AM = PN (Given)
BM = QN (Proved)
∴ ∆ ABM ≅ ∆ PQN (SSS rule) [Result (i)]
∴ ∠ ABM = ∠ PQN (CPCT)
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ PQR
Now, in ∆ ABC and ∆ PQR,
AB = PQ
∠ ABC = ∠ PQR
BC = QR .
∴ ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ PQR (SAS rule) [Result (ii)]

Question 4.
BE and CF are two equal altitudes of a triangle ABC. Using RHS congruence rule, prove that the triangle ABC is isosceles.

Answer:
In ∆ FBC and ∆ ECB,
CF = BE (Given)
∠ CFB = ∠ BEC = 90° (Given)
BC = CB (Common)
∴ A FBC ≅ A ECB (RHS rule)
∴ ∠ FBC = ∠ ECB (CPCT)
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB
Now, in ∆ ABC, ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB
∴ AC = AB (Theorem 7.3)
Hence, ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Question 5.
ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC. Draw AP ⊥ BC to show that ∠ B = ∠ C.
Answer:

In ∆ ABC, AP is an altitude.
∴ ∠ APB = ∠ APC = 90°
In ∆ APB and ∆ APC,
∠ APB = ∠ APC = 90°
AB = AC (Given)
AP = AP (Common)
∴ ∆ APB ≅ ∆ APC (RHS rule)
∴ ∠ ABP = ∠ AGP (CPCT)
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB
Thus, in ∆ ABC, ∠ B = ∠ C.

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Triangles Ex 7.2

Question 1.
In an isosceles triangle ABC, with AB = AC, the bisectors of ∠ B and ∠ C intersect each other at O. Join A to O. Show that:
(i) OB = OC
(ii) AO bisects ∠ A
Answer:

In ∆ ABC, AB = AC
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB (Theorem 7.2)
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠ ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠ ACB
∴ ∠ OBC = ∠ OCB (BO bisects ∠ ABC and CO bisects ∠ ACB)
Now, in ∆ OBC, ∠ OBC = ∠ OCB
∴ OB = OC (Theorem 7.3)
Similarly, ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB gives
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠ ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠ ACB
∴ ∠ ABO = ∠ ACO
Now, in ∆ ABO and ∆ ACO,
AB = AC (Given)
∠ ABO = ∠ ACO
and OB = OC
∴ ∆ ABO ≅ ∆ ACO (SAS rule)
∴ ∠ BAO = ∠ CAO (CPCT)
But, ∠ BAO + ∠ CAO = ∠ BAC (Adjacent angles)
∴ ∠ BAO = ∠ CAO = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠ BAC
Thus, AO bisects ∠ A.

Question 2.
In ∆ ABC, AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC (see the given figure). Show that ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC.

Answer:
In ∆ ABC, AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC.
∴ BD = CD and ∠ ADB = ∠ ADC = 90°
In ∆ ADB and ∆ ADC,
AD = AD (Common)
∠ ADB = ∠ ADC (Right angles)
and BD = CD
∴ ∆ ADB ≅ ∆ ADC (SAS rule)
∴ AB = AC (CPCT)
Now, in ∆ ABC, AB = AC.
Hence, ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC.

Question 3.
ABC is an isosceles triangle in which altitudes BE and CF are drawn to equal sides AC and AB respectively (see the given figure). Show that these altitudes are equal.

Answer:
In ∆ ABC, AC = AB
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB
∴ ∠ FBC = ∠ ECB
Now, in ∆ FBC and ∆ ECB,
∠ FBC = ∠ ECB
∠ BFC = ∠ CEB (Right angles)
BC = CB (Common)
∴ ∆ FBC ≅ ∆ ECB (AAS rule)
∴ CF = BE (CPCT)
Thus, the altitudes CF and BE on equal sides AB and AC respectively of ∆ ABC are equal.

Question 4.
ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BE and CF to sides AC and AB are equal (see the given figure). Show that
(i) ∆ ABE ≅ ∆ ACF
(ii) AB = AC, i.e., ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Answer:
In ∆ ABE and ∆ ACF,
∠ AEB = ∠ AFC (Right angles)
∠ A = ∠ A (Common)
BE = CF (Given)
∴ ∆ ABE ≅ ∆ ACF (AAS rule)
∴ AB = AC (CPCT)
Thus, ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Question 5.
ABC and DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC (see the given figure). Show that ∠ ABD = ∠ ACD.

Answer:
∠ ABC and ∠ DBC are adjacent angles.
∴ ∠ ABC + ∠ DBC = ∠ ABD ………… (1)
∠ ACB and ∠ DCB are adjacent angles.
∴ ∠ ACB + ∠ DCB = ∠ ACD ………….. (2)
In ∆ ABC, AB = AC.
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB (Theorem 7.2)
In ∆ DBC, DB = DC.
∴ ∠ DBC = ∠ DCB (Theorem 7.2)
∴ ∠ ABC + ∠ DBC = ∠ ACB + ∠ DCB
∴ ∠ ABD = ∠ ACD [From (1) and (2))

Question 6.
∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. side BA is produced to D such that AD = AB (see the given figure). Show that ∠ BCD is a right angle.

Answer:
AB = AC and AD = AB
∴ AC = AD
In ∆ ABC, AB = AC
∴ ∠ ACB = ∠ ABC (Theorem 7.2) ……………… (1)
In A ADC, AC = AD
∴ ∠ ACD = ∠ ADC (Theorem 7.2) ……………… (2)
Adding (1) and (2),
∠ ACB + ∠ ACD = ∠ ABC + ∠ ADC
∴ ∠ BCD = ∠ DBC + ∠ BDC
(Adjacent angles and A lies on BD)
In ∆ BCD,
∠ DBC + ∠ BDC + ∠ BCD = 180°
∴ ∠ BCD + ∠ BCD = 180° (from (3)]
∴ 2 ∠ BCD = 180°
∴ ∠ BCD = 90°
Thus, ∠ BCD is a right angle.

Question 7.
ABC is a right angled triangle in which ∠A = 90° and AB = AC. Find ∠ B and ∠ C.
Answer:

In ∆ ABC, AB = AC
∴ Z C = Z B (Theorem 7.2)
In ∆ ABC,
∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°
∴ 90° + ∠ B + ∠ B = 180° (Given and ∠ C = ∠ B)
∴ 2 ∠ B = 90°
∴ ∠ B = 45°
∴ ∠ C = 45°

Question 8.
Show that the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60° each.
Answer:

∆ ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ AB = BC = AC
In ∆ ABC, AB = BC
∴ ∠ C = ∠ A (Theorem 7.2)
In ∆ ABC, AB = AC
∴ ∠ C = ∠ B (Theorem 7.2)
Hence, ∠ A = ∠B = ∠ C.
Now, in ∆ ABC, ∠ A + ∠ B + Z C = 180°
∴ ∠ A = ∠ B = ∠ C = \(\frac{180^{\circ}}{3}\) = 60°
Thus, the angles of ah equilateral triangle are 60° each.

Punjab State Board PSEB 9th Class Maths Book Solutions Chapter 7 Triangles Ex 7.1 Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 7 Triangles Ex 7.1

Question 1.
In quadrilateral ACBD. AC = AD and AB bisects ∠ A (see the given figure). Show that ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ ABD. What can you say about BC and BD?

Answer:
In ∆ ABC and ∆ ABD,
AC = AD (Given)
∠ BAC = ∠ BAD (AB bisects ∠ A)
AB = AB (Common)
∴ ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ ABD (SAS rule)
∴ BC = BD (CPCT)
Thus, BC and BD are equal.

Question 2.
ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠ DAB = ∠ CBA (see the given figure). Prove that (i) ∆ ABD ≅ ∆ BAC, (ii) BD = AC and (iii) ∠ ABD = ∠ BAC

Answer:
In ∆ ABD and ∆ BAC,
AD = BC (Given)
∠ DAB = ∠ CBA (Given)
AB = BA (Common)
∴ ∆ ABD ≅ ∆ BAC (SAS rule)
∴ BD = AC (CPCT)
∴ ∠ ABD = ∠ BAC (CPCT)

Question 3.
AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line segment AB (see the given figure). Show that CD bisects AB.

Answer:
AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to line segment AB.
∴ AD = BC and ∠ OAD = ∠ OBC = 90°.
Now, in ∆ ADO and ∆ BCO,
AD = BC
∠ OAD = ∠ OBC
∠ AOD = ∠ BOC (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∆ ADO ≅ ∆ BCO (AAS rule)
∴ OA = OB (CPCT)
CD intersects AB at O and OA = OB.
Hence, CD bisects AB.

Question 4.
l and m are two parallel lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p and q (see the given figure). Show that:
∆ ABC ≅ ∆ CDA.

Answer:
l || m and AC is their transversal.
∴ ∠ BCA = ∠ DAC (Alternate angles)
p l| q and AC is their transversal.
∴ ∠ BAC = ∠ DCA (Alternate angles)
Now, in ∆ ABC and ∆ CDA,
∠ BCA = ∠ DAC
∠ BAC = ∠ DCA
AC = CA (Common)
∴ ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ CDA (ASA rule)

Question 5.
Ray l is the bisector of an angle ∠ A and B is any point on l. BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of ∠ A (see the given figure). Show that:
(i) ∆ APB ≅ ∆ AQB
(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of ∠ A.

Answer:
l is the bisector of ∠ PAQ and B is any point on l.
∴ ∠ PAB = ∠ QAB
BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to AP and AQ.
∴ ∠ BPA = ∠ BQA = 90°.
Now, in ∆ APB and ∆ AQB,
∠ PAB = ∠ QAB
∠ BPA = ∠ BQA
AB = AB (Common)
∴ ∆ APB ≅ ∆ AQB (AAS rule)
∴ BP = BQ (CPCT)
BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to arms AP and AQ of ∠ A.
∴ BP is the distance of B from AP and BQ is the distance of B from AQ.
Thus, B is equidistant from the arms of ∠ A.

Question 6.
In the given figure, AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠ BAD = ∠ EAC. Show that BC = DE

Answer:
∠ BAD = ∠ EAC
∴ ∠ BAD + ∠ DAC = ∠ EAC + ∠ DAC
∴ ∠ BAC = ∠ DAE (Adjacent angles)
Now, in ∆ BAC and ∆ DAE,
AC = AE (Given)
AB = AD (Given)
∠ BAC = ∠ DAE
∴ ∆ BAC ≅ ∆ DAE (SAS rule)
∴ BC = DE (CPCT)

Question 7.
AB is a line segment and P is its midpoint. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠ BAD = ∠ ABE and ∠ EPA = ∠ DPB (see the given figure). Show that:
(i) ∆ DAP ≅ ∆ EBP
(ii) AD = BE

Answer:
∠ BAD = ∠ ABE
∴ ∠ PAD = ∠PBE (∵ P lies on AB.)
∠ EPA = ∠ DPB
∴ ∠ EPA + ∠ EPD = ∠ DPB + ∠ EPD
∴ ∠ APD = ∠ BPE (Adjacent angles)
P is the midpoint of AB.
∴ AP = BP
Now, in ∆ DAP and ∆ EBP
∠ PAD = ∠ PBE
∠ APD = ∠ BPE
AP = BP
∴ ∆ DAP ≅ ∆ EBP (ASA rule)
∴ AD = BE (CPCT)

Question 8.
In right triangle ABC, right angled at C, M is the midpoint of hypotenuse AB. C is joined to M and produced to a point D such that DM = CM. Point D is joined to point B (see the given figure). Show that:
(i) ∆ AMC ≅ ∆ BMD
(ii) ∠ DBC is a right angle
(iii) ∆ DBC ≅ ∆ ACB
(iv) CM = \(\frac{1}{2}\) AB

Answer:
In ∆ AMC and ∆ BMD,
AM = BM (∵ M is the midpoint of AB.)
CM = DM (Given)
∠ AMC = ∠ BMD (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ By SAS rule, ∆ AMC ≅ ∆ BMD [Result (i)]
∴ ∠ MCA = ∠ MDB (CPCT)
∠ MCA and ∠ MDB are alternate angles formed by transversal CD of lines AC and BD and they are equal.
∴ AC || BD
Now, ∠ DBC and ∠ ACB are interior angles on the same side of transversal BC of AC || BD.
∴ ∠ DBC + ∠ ACB = 180°
∴ ∠ DBC + 90° = 180° (Given : ∠ C = 90°)
∴ ∠ DBC = 90°
Thus, ∠ DBC is a right angle. [Result (ii)]
Now, ∆ AMC ≅ ∆ BMD
∴ AC = BD
In ∆ DBC and ∆ ACB,
BD = CA
∠ DBC = ∠ ACB (Right angles)
BC = CB (Common)
∴ ∆ DBC ≅ ∆ ACB [Result (iii)]
∴ DC = AB (CPCT)
DM = CM and M lies on line’ segment CD.
∴ DC = 2 CM
∴ AB = 2CM
∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\)AB = CM
∴ CM = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AB

Punjab State Board PSEB 9th Class Science Book Solutions Chapter 12 Sound Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Science Chapter 12 Sound

PSEB 9th Class Science Guide Sound Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
What is sound and how is it produced?
Answer:
Sound: Sound is a form of energy which produces in our ears the sensation of hearing. It is produced due to vibration of a body about its mean position.

How to produce sound? We can produce sound in different bodies by plucking, by rubbing, by blowing or by giving jolt. In other words, by producing vibration in bodies sound can be produced. By vibration we mean moving a body rapidly to and fro about its mean position.

Question 2.
Describe with the help of diagram, how compressions and rarefactions are produced in air near a source of sound?
Answer:
Sound in air gets propagated in the form of longitudinal wave motion consisting of regions of compressions and rarefactions. Consider, for example, a tuning, fork in a state of vibrations. [Fig.(a)] As prong moves towards right, it compresses the layer of air in contact with it. As air has elasticity, the compressed air tends to relieve itself of its strain and moves forward to right to compress the next layer and so on.

Thus, a wave of compression moves towards the right. At the point of compression, there is an increase of pressure and is shown in form of crest C. At the point of rarefaction of concentration of particles is least and has been shown as trough R.

When the prong moves towards left, a region of reduced pressure or rarefaction is produced towards right [Fig. (b)].

Thus, a wave of rarefaction starts moving towards right. This way a series of compressions arid rarefactions move in forward direction.

Question 3.
Cite an experiment to show that sound needs a material medium for its propagation.
Or
Describe an experiment to show that sound needs a material medium for its propagation.
Or
Describe an activity to show that sound is a mechanical wave and needs a material medium for its propagation.
Answer:
Sound needs material medium for propagation: Sound is a mechanical wave which needs a material medium to travel, (propagate) It can travel through air, water, steel, etc but cannot travel through vacuum. This can be demonstrated by the following experiment.

Experiment: Take an electric bell and a glass bell-jar. Suspend the electric bell in a bell jar with the help of a cork fitted in the mouth of the jar. Connect the bell jar to a vacuum pump as shown in Fig. Press the switch of electric bell when sound is heard.

Now work the exhaust pump and remove air from the jar slowly. As air is removed the sound becomes fainter and fainter. After sometime when most of the air is removed, a feeble sound will be heard. If the whole of the air from the jar is removed no sound of electric bell will be heard. This proves that material medium is needed for the propagation of sound.

Question 4.
Why is sound wave called longitudinal wave?
Answer:
Sound waves when travel through a medium, the particles of the medium move to and fro in the same direction in which the disturbance (wave) travels. That is why, the sound waves are called longitudinal waves.

Question 5.
Which characteristic of the sound helps you to identify your friend by his voice while sitting with others in a dark room.
Answer:
On the basis of quality or timbre of sound, we can identify our friend’s voice.

Question 6.
Flash and thunder are produced simultaneously. But thunder is heard a few seconds after the flash is seen. Why?
Answer:
The speed of sound (344 m s^-1) is much smaller than the speed of light (3 × 10⁸ m s^-1). So thunder is heard a few seconds after the flash is seen although these are produced at the same time.

Question 7.
A person has a hearing range from 20 Hz to 20 KHz. What is the typical wavelength of sound waves in air corresponding to these frequencies? Take the speed of sound in air as 344 ms^-1.
Solution:
Given speed of sound (υ) = 344 m s^-1
Lower limit of frequency (ν₁) = 20 Hz
Upper limit of audible frequency (ν₂) = 20 KHz
= 20 × 1000 Hz.
= 20000 Hz

Question 8.
Two children are at opposite er Is of an aluminium rod. One strikes the end of the rod with a stone. Find the ratio of times taken by the sound wave in air and in aluminium to reach the second child.
Solution:

Question 9.
The frequency of source of sound is 100 Hz. How many times does it vibrate in a minute?
Solution:
Frequency of source sound = 100 Hz
i.e, Number of vibrations produced in 1 second = 100
Number of vibrations produced in 1 min = 60 s = 100 × 60 = 6000

Question 10.
Does sound follow the same laws of reflection as light does? Explain.
Answer:

Yes, sound follows the same laws of reflection as light does. Like light sound is reflected from solid or liquid surface.
These laws are:

• First Law: The directions of incident sound and reflected sound make equal angles with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.
  i.e. \(\angle i=\angle r\)
• Second Law: The incident sound wave, the reflected sound wave and normal to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

Question 11.
When a sound is reflected from a distant object, an echo is produced. Let the distance between the reflecting surface and the source of sound production remains the same. Do you hear echo sound on a hotter day?
Answer:
On a hotter day the speed of sound increases with the increase of temperature. So on that day reflected sound returns tq source earlier than 0.1 s. Hence a clear echo sound can not be heard.

Question 12.
Give two practical applications of reflection of sound waves.
Answer:

Stethoscope is doctor’s device which is used to hear the sound produced inside heart or lungs. The speed of sound of a patient’s heart beat is guided along the tube to the doctor’s ears by multiple reflection of sound.

2. The front part of musical instruments like megaphone or loudspeaker, horn, shehnai is made open and conical so that the sound waves produced may be reflected repeatedly and may be reflected repeatedly and may be sent forward towards the listeners.

Question 13.
A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 500 m high into a pond of water at the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top? Given, g = 10 m s^-2 and speed of sound = 340 m s^-2.
Solution:
Here, initial velocity of sound (u) = 0
Height of the lower (i.e. distance covered) (S) = 500 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 ms^-2

Question 14.
A sound wave travels at a speed of 339 m s^-1. If its wavelength is 1.5 cm, what is the frequency of the wave? Will it be audible?
Solution:
Speed of sound (υ) = 339 ms^-1
Wavelength of sound (λ) = 1.5 cm
= \(\frac {1.5}{100}\)
= 0.015 m
Frequency of wave (ν) =?
We know, frequency (ν) = \(\frac{υ}{\lambda}\)
= \(\frac {339}{0.015}\)
= 22600 Hz
Yes, sound waves are inaudible because these have frequency 22600 Hz which is not within the audible range 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

Question 15.
What is reverberation? How can it be reduced?
Answer:
Reverberation: The persistance of sound due to repeated reflection of sound is called reverberation. If sound after its production is allowed to suffer repeated reflection from walls and ceiling of big halls of concert so that it persists is called reverberation. It is unwanted sound because of which sound is not distinctly heard. To reduce reverberation effect of sound, walls and ceiling should be covered with sound absorbing materials like compressed fiber or heavy curtains having folds etc.

Question 16.
What is loudness of sound? What factors does it depend on?
Answer:
Loudness of sound is the measure of sensitivity of human ears. Like intensity it is not sound energy passing through unit area in 1 second. Two sounds can have same frequencies but still these may be heard having different loudness.

Question 17.
Explain how bats use ultrasounds to catch a prey?
Answer:

In darkness bats while flying in search of their prey emit ultrasound waves and then detect these waves after reflection. Very high-frequency ultrasonic squeaks of bat are reflected from prey and returned to bat’s ear. Amount and time delay of reflected wave helps bat in estimating the position and distance of prey.

Question 18.
How is ultrasound used for cleaning?
Answer:
Ultrasounds are used to clean parts located in hard-to-reach places e.g., complicated electronic components, watches, spiral or odd shaped parts. Appliances to be cleaned are placed in cleaning solutions and ultrasonic waves are sent through cleaning solution. Due to high frequency of ultrasounds, the dust, oil, grease and dirt get detached.

Question 19.
Explain the working and applications of SONAR.
Or
Write the full name of SONAR. How will you determine the depth of a sea using echo ranging?
Or
Write full form of SONAR. List any two purposes for which, it is used and explain its working for any one such purpose.
Answer:
SONAR: The acronym Sonar stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging. Sonar is a device that uses ultrasonic waves to measure the distance, direction and speed of underwater objects.
Principle: It uses the phenomenon of echoes in determining the sea-depth and locating the presence of underwater objects.

Working: Sonar consists of a transmitter T, and a detector D, installed below a ship as shown in Fig. The wave produced by transmitter travel through water and are reflected by sea-bed of obstacle. Reflected waves are sensed by the detector. Detector converts ultrasonic waves into electric signal. These signals are interpreted by detector.

If time interval between transmission and reception is t and speed of sound in sea-water is v, then 2d = υ × t or d = υt/2, where d is the depth of the sea. This method is also called echo sounding.
Practical Applications: It is used to locate underwater submarines, icebergs, sunken ships and underwater hills etc.

Question 20.
A sonar device on a submarine sends out a signal and receives an echo 5 s later. Calculate the speed of sound in water if the distance of the object from submarine is 3,625 m.
Solution:
Time between emission of sound and its collection (t) = 5 s
Depth of sea (2d) = 2 × 3625 m = 7250 m
We know, 2d = Speed of sound × Time
7250 = Speed of sound × 5
∴ Speed of sound (υ) = \(\frac {7250}{5}\)
= 1450 m s^-1

Question 21.
Explain how defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound?
Answer:
In industries metallic components are used in the construction of big structures like buildings, bridges, machines, scientific equipments, etc. ultrasounds (ultrasonic waves) are used to detect the internal defects or cracks in big metallic blocks which are not visible from outside.

Ultrasonic waves are allowed to pass through the metal block and detectors are used to detect the transmitted waves. If there is even a small defect, the ultrasound gets reflected back and does not reach the detector, as shown in figure. This indicates the presence of a defect.

Question 22.
Explain how the human ear works.
Answer:
Ear is very sensitive device used to hear sound. It converts compressions and rarefactions of frequency range 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz into electric signals that travel to brain via auditory nerve.

The ear consists of three sections:

1. the outer ear,
2. the middle ear and
3. the inner ear.

The outer ear consists of Pinna and Auditory Canal. Pinna is a cup-shaped fleshy part of the outer ear. Pinna collects and amplifies sound waves which then pass on the auditory canal. At the end of auditory canal, there is a thin membrane called tympanic membrane or eardrum. When compression reaches the eardrum, the pressure on membrane increases and the ear drum is forced inwards. When rarefaction reaches the eardrum, it moves outwards.

The vibrations are amplified by lever action of three bones called hammer, anvil and stirrup in the middle ear. In turn, the middle ear transmits the amplified pressure variations to the inner ear. The amplified pressure variations are converted into electric signals by cochlea in the inner ear. The electric signals generated are conveyed to the brain

via the auditory nerve. The brain interprets them as sound. In fact we do not hear with ear. We hear with brain through ears.

Science Guide for Class 9 PSEB Sound InText Questions and Answers

Question 1.
How does the sound produced by the vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
Answer:
When the vibrating object (such as tuning fork or school bell) moves forward then it compresses the air particles lying just ahead of it which results in production of high pressure region. This region is called compression. This pressure moves forward in the direction in which the object is vibrating, when this vibrat ing object moves backward then a region of low pressure is produced which is known as rarefaction.

When the vibrating object rapidly moves to and fro then a series of compression and rarefaction pulses are formed i.e. sound wave is produced.
In this way the transmission of sound is caused in the form of transmission of change in density which reaches our ear and forces the tympanic membrane to vibrate. This produces the sensation of hearing in us.

Question 2.
Explain how sound is produced by your school bell?
Answer:
When the school bell is hit with a hammer, it begins to vibrate which produces sound waves. If we gently touch the bell, we feel vibrations. Wave is a disturbance which produces motion in the neighbouring particles of the medium. These particles handover the disturbance in the next particles lying close to the vibrating particles so that sound waves reach us. The particles of the medium do not move from one place to another, it is only the disturbance that travels forward.

Question 3.
Why are sound waves called mechanical waves?
Answer:
Sound is a kind of energy which cannot be produced by itself. To produce it some mechanical enery is required which may be by clapping or by striking bell with a hammer. This sound energy is transmitted in the form of waves by producing disturbance of the particles of the medium. Therefore, sound waves are called mechanical waves.

Question 4.
Suppose you and your friend are on the moon. Will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?
Answer:
For propagation of sound, air or some other material medium is required. On the surface of moon there is no such medium present as a result of which sound can not be propagated from one place to another place. So you can neither talk to your friend nor the sound produced by your friend can be heard by you.

Question 5.
Which wave property determines
(a) loudness
(b) pitch?
Answer:
(a) Loudness: The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its amplitude. The amplitude of sound wave depends upon magnitude of force. The more the force, the loud is sound produced. Loud sound traverses more distance because it has more energy in it. The more the sound is away from the source, the less is its loudness. Hence, loudness depends upon square of the amplitude.

(b) Pitch: The frequency of sound produced is called pitch. Frequency determines the aitch of a sound. The more is the vibration of the source, the higher will be its pitch.

So more the frequency, higher the pitch of sound.
In sound of high pitch the number of compressions passing through a fixed point in a unit time will be more.

Question 6.
Guess, which sound has a higher pitch: guitar or a car horn?
Answer:
Though sound of car horn is louder than that of guitar but guitar has higher pitch than car horn.

Question 7.
What are wavelength, frequency, time period and amplitude of a sound wave?
Answer:
1. Wavelength of wave: The distance travelled by the wave during the time, the particle of the medium completes 1 vibration is called wavelength.
Or
The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions in a longitudinal wave or the distance between the consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is called wavelength. It is denoted by a greek letter ‘λ’ (lambda). SI unit of wavelength is meter (m).

2. Frequency: In any medium when wave propagates the number of vibrations made by a particle of the medium is called frequency. It is denoted by ‘ν’. S.I. unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz). It is determined by the number of compressions or rarefactions passing through a fixed point.

3. Time Period: It is the time taken by a particle to complete one vibration during the propagation of wave. It is denoted by “T”. S.I. unit of time period is second.
Or
Time taken by two nearest compressions or rarefactions of sound waves to cross a point is called time period.

4. Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a particle of the medium on either side of mean position is called amplitude, of wave. It is denoted by letter ‘A’. For sound wave its unit is same as that of pressure or density. The loudness of sound depends on its amplitude.

Question 8.
How are the wavelength and frequency of a sound wave related to its speed?
Answer:
Velocity of sound wave (υ) = Wavelength (λ) × Frequency (ν).

Question 9.
Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m s^-1 in a given medium.
Solution:
Velocity of sound wave (υ) = 440 ms^-1
Frequency of sound (ν) = 220 Hz
Wavelength of sound wave (λ) = ?
We know, υ = ν × λ
440 = 220 × λ
or λ = \(\frac {440}{220}\)
or wavelength (λ) = 2 m

Question 10.
A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the source?
Solution:
Given frequency of sound (ν) = 500 Hz
Time taken between two successive compressions (T) = ?
We know, time period (T) = \(\frac{1}{\text { Frequency }(ν)}\)
= \(\frac {1}{500}\)
= 0.002 s

Question 11.
Distinguish between loudness and intensity of sound.
Answer:
Difference between Loudness and Intensity:

Loudness	Intensity
1. The loudness of sound is the measure of senstivity of ears.	It is the sound energy passing through a unit area in 1 second.
2. The loudness of sound can not be measured.	The intensity of sound can be measured.
3. For different observers the loudness of sound is different.	The intensity of sound is same for different persons.
4. The loudness of ultrasonic and infrasonic waves is zero because they are inaudible.	There is a possibility of intensity in ultrasonic and infrasonic sound in ultrasonic and infrasonic sound waves.

Question 12.
In which of the three media, air, water or iron sound travels the fastest at a particular temperature?
Answer:
Sound travels fastest in iron as compared to air and water. The velocity of sound in iron is 5950 m s^-1, followed by water [1500 m s^-1], air [350 m s^-1],

Question 13.
An echo returned in 3 s. What is the distance of reflecting surface from the source? Given that the speed of sound is 342 m s^-1.
Solution:
Velocity of sound (v) = 342 ms^-1
Time taken for echo to be heard (t) = 3s
Distance travelled by sound (S) = υ × t
= 342 × 3
= 1026 m
i.e. sound takes 3 s to travel from source to reflecting surface and then back to source and during this time the distance travelled is 1026 m.
Distance between source and reflecting surface = \(\frac {1026}{2}\) m
= 513 m

Question 14.
Why are the ceilings of concert halls curved?
Answer:

Ceilings of concert halls are made curved as is shown in Fig so that sound after reflection from all surfaces of hall may spread evenly to all parts and heard equally clear.

Question 15.
What is audible range of average human ear?
Answer:
For average human ear the audible range of sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

Question 16.
What is the range of frequencies associated with
(a) infrasound
(b) ultrasound?
Answer:
(a) For infrasound the frequency range is less than 20 Hz.
(b) For ultrasound the frequency range is more than 20 KHz (i.e. 20,000 Hz)

Question 17.
A submarine emits a sonar pulse, which returns from an underwater cliff in 1.02 s. If the speed of sound in salt water is 1531 m s^-1, how far away is the cliff?
Solution:
Time is taken by the sound to travel from submarine to cliff and back to the submarine
= 1.02 s
Speed of sound in saltwater = 1531 ms^-1
Distance travelled by sound (2d) = Speed of sound × Time taken
= 1531 × 1.02 [∵ d is the distance between submarine and cliff]
= 1561.62 m
or d = \(\frac {1561.62}{2}\) m
i.e. Distance between submarine and cliff (d) = 780.81 m

Budgeting Your Time Summary in English

Budgeting Your Time Introduction:

In this chapter, the writer brings out the importance of budgeting our time. We have to budget a thing if its availability is limited in relation to its expenditure. The time at our disposal is also very limited. But the work we have to do in our life is very long. Therefore, we must budget our time. We have to take notice of every moment that is passing. Present is the most important time to do a thing. Time once lost can never be regained. Therefore, we must be punctual in our life. Every moment is precious. Those who forget it, have to repent later when no remedy is possible.

Budgeting Your Time Summary in English:

Money is said to be the most important thing in life. Money makes the mare go. The power of money is great, but the power of time is still greater. Money once lost can be regained. But time once lost is lost for ever. If you do not make the best use of time, you are sure to be doomed. There come some moments in life that can make or mar a person’s whole future. We must take notice of such moments.

They are very precious. One must act in time before it is too late. Those who take no notice of time, have to repent later when there is no remedy. Every second in life is important. Therefore, we must save every second and thus make the best use of time. Man’s life is very short. But he has a lot to do. Every moment is taking us nearer to the grave. Therefore, we must make the best use of our time.

We must be punctual in all our activities. Those who are behind time, are left behind in their life also. An opportunity missed once is missed for ever. It is no use crying over spilt milk. We should not blame the stars when we are ourselves responsible for our failure. Once Yaksha, a god, asked Yudhishthira, “What is the best time for doing a thing ?” Yudhishthira replied, “Now !” The work in hand is the most important work to do. And the present is the most important time to do it. “Now or Never must be the guiding principle in our life. We should never put off till tomorrow what we can do today.

Life in the present age has become very fast. A slip of even a second can result in doom for us.. Therefore, every single second has its importance. Every moment of life is precious. Any carelessness towards the importance of time can prove very harmful to any society. Therefore, we must learn to budget our time. We can hope for a good tomorrow only if we know the value of today. Therefore we should never forget the value of NOW in our life.

Budgeting Your Time Summary in Hindi

Budgeting Your Time Introduction:

पाठ का संक्षिप्त परिचय इस लेख में लेखक अपने समय का हिसाब रखने के महत्त्व को दिखाता है। हमें ऐसी चीज़ का हिसाब रखना पड़ता है जिसकी उपलब्धि इसके खर्च के मुकाबले में सीमित हो। हमारे पास समय की उपलब्धि भी बहुत सीमित है। किन्तु वह काम जो हमें अपने जीवन में करना है बहुत लम्बा है। इसलिए हमें अपने समय का हिसाब अवश्य रखना चाहिए। हमें प्रत्येक पल को ध्यान में रखना होता है जो गुज़र रहा है। किसी काम को करने के लिए वर्तमान सब से महत्त्वपूर्ण समय होता है। एक बार खोए हुए समय को दोबारा कभी प्राप्त नहीं किया जा सकता है। इसलिए हमें अपने जीवन में समय का पाबन्द होना चाहिए। प्रत्येक पल कीमती होता है। वे जो इसे भूल जाते हैं, उन्हें बाद में पछताना पड़ता है जब कोई इलाज सम्भव नहीं होता।

Budgeting Your Time Summary in Hindi:

पैसे को जीवन में सब से महत्त्वपूर्ण चीज़ कहा जाता है। दाम बनाए काम। पैसे की ताकत बहुत होती है, किन्तु समय की ताकत उससे भी बड़ी होती है। पैसा एक बार खो जाए तो उसे दोबारा प्राप्त किया जा सकता है। किन्तु एक बार खोया हुआ समय सदा के लिए खो जाता है। यदि आप समय का सर्वोत्तम इस्तेमाल नहीं करेंगे, तो आपका निश्चित ही विनाश हो जाएगा। जीवन में कुछ ऐसे अवसर आते हैं जो किसी व्यक्ति के सम्पूर्ण भविष्य को बना या बिगाड़ सकते हैं। हमें ऐसे अवसरों का ज़रूर ध्यान रखना चाहिए।

वे बहुत कीमती होते हैं। व्यक्ति को समय रहते क्रिया करनी चाहिए इससे पहले कि बहुत देर हो जाए। वे लोग जो समय की तरफ कोई ध्यान नहीं देते, उन्हें बाद में पछताना पड़ता है जब वहां कोई इलाज नहीं रहता है। जीवन का हर पल महत्त्वपूर्ण होता है। इसलिए हमें प्रत्येक पल बचाना चाहिए और इस तरह समय का सर्वोत्तम प्रयोग करना चाहिए। मनुष्य का जीवन बहुत छोटा है। किन्तु उसे बहुत काम करना होता है। हर पल हमें हमारी कब्र के नजदीक ले जा रहा होता है। इसलिए हमें अवश्य ही अपने समय का सर्वोत्तम इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए।

हमें अपनी सभी क्रियाओं में समय का पाबन्द होना चाहिए। वे लोग जो समय के पीछे रह जाते हैं, वे अपने जीवन में भी पीछे रह जाते हैं। ऐसा अवसर जो एक बार हाथ से निकल जाता है, वह सदा के लिए निकल जाता है। दूध गिर जाने पर रोने का कोई लाभ नहीं होता। हमें अपने ग्रहों को दोष नहीं देना चाहिए जब हम स्वयं ही अपनी असफलता के लिए जिम्मेदार हों। .. एक बार यक्ष जो एक देवता था, उसने युधिष्ठिर से पूछा, “कोई काम करने के लिए सर्वोत्तम समय क्या होता है..?”

युधिष्ठिर ने कहा, “अब का समय!” हाथ में लिया काम करने को सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण काम होता है, तथा इसे करने का सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण समय वर्तमान का होता है। ‘अभी या कभी नहीं’-यह हमारे जीवन का मुख्य सिद्धान्त होना चाहिए। हमें आज का काम कल पर कभी नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए।

वर्तमान युग में जीवन बहुत तेज़ गति वाला हो गया है। एक पल की भी चूक हमारे लिए प्रलयकारी हो सकती है। इसलिए प्रत्येक पल का अपना ही महत्त्व होता है। जीवन का प्रत्येक पल कीमती होता है। समय के महत्त्व के प्रति कोई भी लापरवाही किसी भी समाज के लिए बहुत हानिकारक हो सकती है। हम एक प्रसन्नतापूर्ण भविष्य की केवल तब आशा कर सकते हैं यदि हम आज के महत्त्व को जानते होंगे। इसलिए हमें अपने जीवन में ‘अब’ के महत्त्व को कभी नहीं भूलना चाहिए।

Text

Money, they say, is the most important thing in life. Money makes the mare go, is an age old saying. The power of money, people believe, is great. But greater still is the power of TIME. Money once lost can be regained time once lost is lost for ever. Time and tide wait for none. If you do not make the best use of time and do not take time by the forelock, you are destined to be doomed. Shakespeare, the doyen of English literature, wrote : There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries. (Shakespeare : Julius Caesar) During the tough course of the journey of life, rarely comes the time which can make or mar a person’s whole future. Such a precious moment must not be allowed to go unnoticed. One must act in time before it is too late. This can be possible only if we are alive and alert to the importance of every single second in our lives. Those who waste time and let it pass unnoticed, have to repent and pine, only बिना when there is no remedy.

अनुवाद

कहते हैं कि पैसा जीवन में सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण चीज़ होता है। दाम बनाए काम, यह एक बहुत पुरानी कहावत है। लोग ऐसा विश्वास करते हैं कि पैसे की शक्ति बहुत होती है। किन्तु उससे भी बड़ी शक्ति समय की होती है। पैसा एक बार खो जाए तो इसे फिर से प्राप्त किया जा सकता है; समय एक बार खो जाए, तो सदा के लिए खो जाता है। समय और भाग्य किसी की प्रतीक्षा नहीं करते। यदि आप समय का सर्वोत्तम इस्तेमाल नहीं करते और समय को पूरा काबू नहीं करते, तो आपका अन्तिम भाग्य में सत्यानाश ही होगा। अंग्रेजी साहित्य के पितामह शेक्सपियर ने लिखा था मनुष्यों के जीवन में एक ज्वार-भाटा आता है। जिसे यदि इसकी चरम सीमा पर पकड़ लिया जाए तो तकदीर बन जाती है। निकल जाने दिया जाए, तो उनके जीवन-रूपी पूरी यात्रा बन्ध जाती है दलदल और दुःखों में।

(शेक्सपियर के ‘जूलियस सीज़र’ से) जीवन की यात्रा के कठिन मार्ग के दौरान विरले ही कोई ऐसा अवसर होता है जो किसी व्यक्ति के पूरे भविष्य को बना सकता है या बिगाड़ सकता है। ऐसे कीमती पल को बिना ध्यान दिए निकलने नहीं देना चाहिए। व्यक्ति को अवश्य ही समय पर क्रिया करनी चाहिए, इससे पहले कि बहुत देरी हो जाए। ऐसा केवल तभी सम्भव है यदि

हम अपने जीवन में एक-एक पल के महत्त्व के प्रति सजग और सचेत हों। ऐसे लोग जो समय को नष्ट करते हैं और इसे बिना ध्यान दिए निकल जाने देते हैं, उन्हें पछताना और दुःखी होना पड़ता है, केवल जब वहां इस का कोई इलाज नहीं रहता है।

(Page 32) ‘Every second in life ….. lives today.

कठिन शब्दार्थ-1. add up to – जमा हो कर बन जाते हैं ; 2. trickle – बूंद ; 3. mickle – एक भारी मात्रा ; 4. squandered – गंवाया जाना ; 5. drain – नाली ; 6. for nothing – व्यर्थ ही ; 7. fleeting – जल्दी से भागती हुई ; 8. traverse — पार करना, तय करना ; 9. at our disposal – हमारे अधिकार में ; 10. imperative – अत्यावश्यक ; 11. available – उपलब्ध ; 12. punctual – समय का पाबन्द ; 13. crucial — निर्णायक ; 14. globalisation – वैश्वीकरण ; 15. space travel – अन्तरिक्ष यात्रा ; 16. fraction – छोटा अंश ; 17. spell – परिणाम निकलना ; 18. disaster – घोर विपत्ति ; 19. budgeting – के प्रयोग में सावधान, बचत करना ; 20. apathy – उदासीनता ; 21. detrimental – हानिकारक ; 22. bequeathe – वसीयत में देना।

Text
Every second in life is important. Seconds add up to minutes, hours, days and months.Many a trickle makes a mickle. Why not then save every second to make the best use of time ? If you do not do that, a lot of time is squandered down the drain for nothing. Life is short and uncertain.

‘Art is long and time is fleeting,’ said a poet. We’ve a lot to do, a long road to traverse but time at our disposal is very short. Who knows when God Almighty may send a call ? In fact, every beat of our heart is taking us a step nearer to the grave. Therefore, it is imperative that one should make the best use of the time available.

One must learn to be punctual in all one’s activities. Those who are behind time, lag behind in their life too. An opportunity missed is an opportunity lost for ever. By being late, you may miss an important train, a crucial flight, a career-making job or an admission to an excellent course. It is no use crying over spilt milk or blaming the stars when you are yourself responsible for your failure.Yaksha, a god, asked Yudhishthira :

“What is the best time for doing a thing?” The wise son of Kunti said, “Now !” The work in hand is the most important work and the PRESENT is the most important time to do it. ‘Now or Never’ must be our guiding principle in life. Never put off till tomorrow, they say, what you can do today.

In this age of globalisation, super-computers and space travel, life is moving so fast that a slip of even a fraction of a second can spell doom and disaster. Every single second has, therefore, its own importance. That is why the concept of budgeting one’s time is fast catching up. Every moment of life is precious and any careless attitude or apathy towards the importance of time can prove highly detrimental to any society. We can hope for a good tomorrow only if we know the value of today. We are duty-bound to bequea the a happy and prosperous future to the coming generations. This is possible only if we know the value of NOW in our lives today.

अनुवाद

हमारे जीवन में प्रत्येक पल महत्त्वपूर्ण होता है। सैकण्ड जुड़ कर मिनट, घण्टे, दिन और महीने बन जाते हैं। बूंद बूंद से घड़ा भर जाता है। तो फिर समय का सर्वोत्तम इस्तेमाल करने के लिए प्रत्येक पल को क्यों न बचाया जाए? यदि तुम ऐसा नहीं करोगे, तो बहुत-सा समय व्यर्थ ही नाली में बह जाएगा। जीवन छोटा है और अनिश्चित ‘काम बहुत है और समय तेज़ी से भाग रहा है,’ एक कवि ने कहा था। हमें करने को बहुत काम है, एक लम्बी सड़क पार करनी है, किन्तु हमारे पास समय बहुत कम है।

कौन जानता है कि कब सर्वशक्तिमान ईश्वर बुलावा भेज दे? वास्तव में हमारे दिल की प्रत्येक धड़कन हमें एक कदम हमारी कब्र के और नज़दीक ले जा रही है। इसलिए यह अत्यावश्यक है कि व्यक्ति उपलब्ध समय का सर्वोत्तम इस्तेमाल करे। व्यक्ति को अपनी सभी क्रियाओं में समय का पाबन्द होना सीखना चाहिए। वे लोग जो समय से पीछे रह जाते | हैं, वे अपने जीवन में भी पीछे रह जाते हैं। एक बार खोया हुआ अवसर सदा के लिए खोया जाता है। देरी हो जाने से आप किसी महत्त्वपूर्ण गाड़ी, किसी निर्णायक उड़ान, किसी जीवन बना देने वाली नौकरी अथवा किसी शानदार

कोर्स में दाखिले के अवसर से चूक सकते हैं। चिड़ियों द्वारा खेत चुग लिए जाने पर रोने का अथवा ग्रहों को दोष देने का कोई लाभ नहीं होता यदि आप अपनी असफलता के लिए स्वयं ही ज़िम्मेदार हैं। यक्ष जो एक देवता था, उसने युधिष्ठिर से पूछा, “कोई काम करने के लिए सर्वोत्तम समय कौन-सा होता है?” कुन्ती के बुद्धिमान पुत्र ने कहा, “अब का समय!” जो काम हाथ में हो, वह सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण काम होता है, तथा वर्तमान का समय इसे करने के लिए सब से महत्त्वपूर्ण समय होता है।

अभी या कभी नहीं’-हमारे जीवन का मुख्य सिद्धान्त होना चाहिए। कहते हैं कि आज का काम कल पर कभी नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए। वैश्वीकरण, सुपर-कम्प्यूटरों और अन्तरिक्ष-यात्रा के इस युग में जीवन इतनी तेज़ गति से चल रहा है कि एक सैकण्ड का कुछ अंश भी हाथ से निकल जाने पर सर्वनाश अथवा महा-विपत्ति आ सकती है। इसलिए एक-एक सैकण्ड का अपना ही महत्त्व होता है। इसी कारण अपने समय का बजट बनाने सम्बन्धी विचार ज़ोर पकड़ता जा रहा है।

जीवन का प्रत्येक पल कीमती है तथा समय के महत्त्व के प्रति कोई भी लापरवाही वाला व्यवहार अथवा उदासीनता किसी भी समाज के लिए बहुत हानिकारक ह सकता है। हम एक अच्छे कल की केवल तब आशा कर सकते हैं यदि हमें आज के मूल्य का ज्ञान हो। हम कर्तव्य बद्ध हैं कि आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए एक प्रसन्नतापूर्ण और प्रगतिशील भविष्य छोड़ कर जाएं। ऐसा केवल तब सम्भव है यदि हम आज के अपने जीवनों में वर्तमान के महत्त्व को पहचानें।

8. In apposition to the Pronoun it.

Adjective Clause

Adjective Clause (विशेषण उपवाक्य) – जो उपवाक्य प्रधान-वाक्य के किसी शब्द के सम्बन्ध में विशेषण का काम कर रहा हो, उसे Adjective Clause कहा जाता है।
Adjective Clause दो अवस्थाओं में हो सकती हैः

1. Qualifying a Noun.

• The company that supplied the goods has failed.
• The house where your brother lived has been sold.
• The complaint he made against me is false.

2. Qualifying a Pronoun.

• There was none but wept.
• He that climbs too high is liable to fall.
• All that glitters is not gold.

Adjective Clause

(1) Adjective clause को Principal clause के साथ जोड़ने के लिए प्रायः निम्नलिखित sentence linkers का प्रयोग किया जाता है :
(a) Relative Pronouns : Who, whom, whose (+noun), that, which, as, but.

• The boys who are playing there are my students.
• He is the man whom I gave my book.
• She is the girl whose book was stolen.
• You can take the pen which you like.
• He has cut down the tree that grew in your field.
• Nothing but hard work pays in the long run.

(b) Relative Adverbs : When, where, why.

• We saw the house where he was born.
• He met me on the day when I was leaving for Mumbai.
• I told her the reason why she had failed.

(2) Who, whom तथा whose का प्रयोग मनुष्य जाति के लिए किया जाता है; जैसे : –

• He who works hard will succeed.
• She is the girl whom I gave my books.
• There stands the boy whose purse has been stolen.

(3) Whose का प्रयोग कई बार निर्जीव वस्तुओं के लिए भी कर लिया जाता है; जैसे :

• Draw a triangle whose sides are equal.
• This is the house whose owner has died.

(4) Which का प्रयोग जानवरों और निर्जीव वस्तुओं के लिए किया जाता है; जैसे :

• The dog which bit him has been killed.
• This is the watch which I wanted to buy.

(5) That का प्रयोग मनुष्य-जाति के लिए, जानवरों के लिए और निर्जीव वस्तुओं के लिए भी किया जा सकता है; जैसे :

• Happy is the man that (=who) is honest.
• This is the house that (=which) I wanted to buy.
• The man that (whom) we were looking for has arrived.

नोट : किन्तु यह बात ध्यान रखने योग्य है कि that का प्रयोग whose, of which, in which, to whom आदि के स्थान पर नहीं किया जा सकता। यदि Relative Pronoun से पूर्व-स्थित संज्ञा बिना बताए ही स्पष्ट (understood) हो और वह नपुंसक लिंग की हो, तो Relative Pronoun के रूप में which की बजाए what का प्रयोग किया जाता है ; जैसे :

• I cannot tell you what has happened. [what = the thing which]
• I have brought what he wanted. [what = the thing(s) which]

(6) As का प्रयोग Relative Pronoun के रूप में किया जा सकता है लेकिन इससे पूर्व ‘such’, ‘as’ अथवा the same’ अवश्य लगा होना चाहिए।

• This is not such a good book as I expected.
• You may ask as many questions as you like.
• Yours is not the same book as mine.

नोट :
(i) the same’ के बाद as का प्रयोग उस हालत में किया जाता है जब as के बाद लगने वाली क्रिया बिना बताए ही स्पष्ट (understood) हो।
This is not the same book as mine (is).
(ii) the same’ के बाद that का प्रयोग उस हालत में किया जाता है जब that वाले उपवाक्य में अपनी अलग क्रिया का प्रयोग किया जाना जरूरी हो।
This is the same book that you saw yesterday.

(7) But का प्रयोग ‘who not’ अथवा ‘which not’ के अर्थ में किया जा सकता है यदि यह उपवाक्य में Subject का काम कर रहा हो।
1. There was none but wept.
(There was none who did not weep).

2. There was no one present but saw the deed.
(There was no one present who did not see the deed).

3. There is no ailment so simple but may become serious in time.
(There is no ailment so simple which may not become serious in time).

(8) Objective case के रूप में प्रयुक्त होने वाले किसी Relative Pronoun को वाक्य में छोड़ा जा सकता है ; जैसे –

• I know all (that) you want to say.
• This is the same house (that) we lived in.
• The boy (whom) you teach is very clever.
• Have you seen the girl (whom) I sent to you?
• I have given him the book (that/which) he wanted.

किन्तु यह बात ध्यान देने योग्य है कि Relative Pronoun के प्रयोग को केवल तभी छोड़ सकते हैं जब यह Objective case में हो।
यदि यह कर्ता की स्थिति (Nominative case) में हो, तो इसका प्रयोग करना ही पड़ता है।
उदाहरण के रूप में हम कह सकते हैं कि
I employed the man who came yesterday.
किन्तु हम यह नहीं कह सकते कि
I employed the man came yesterday.

(9) यदि किसी Adjective clause के आरम्भ में Relative Pronoun के साथ कोई Preposition लगा हो,
तो उस Preposition का प्रयोग clause के अन्त में किया जा सकता है; जैसे
1. I know the man to whom you were talking.
I know the man (who / that) you were talking to.

कोष्ठकों में दिए गए who / that को छोड़ा जा सकता है क्योंकि ये objective case में हैं।

2. The road by which we passed was very crowded.
The road (that / which) we passed by was very crowded.

Adverb Clause

Adverb Clause (क्रिया-विशेषण उपवाक्य)-जो उपवाक्य प्रधान-वाक्य के किसी शब्द के सम्बन्ध में क्रिया-विशेषण का काम कर रहा हो, उसे Adverb Clause कहा जाता है। यह विशेषता निम्नलिखित सम्बन्धों में हो सकती है

नीचे लिखे किन्हीं पाँच मुहावरों और लोकोक्तियों का वाक्यों में इस प्रकार प्रयोग करें कि अर्थ स्पष्ट हो जाएँ-
अकल चरने जाना, एक अनार सौ बीमार, अब पछताए होत क्या जब चिड़िया चुग गई खेत, कानों को हाथ लगाना, आँखों में खटकना, आँखें खुलना, कान खाना, अंत भले का भला, अधजल गगरी छलकत जाए, अंधों में काना राजा, एक और एक ग्यारह होते हैं, कान पर जूं न रेंगना, अंगूठा दिखाना, गड़े मुर्दे उखाड़ना, आँखें चुराना, अपना उल्लू सीधा करना, एक पंथ दो काज, उल्टे बांस बरेली को, अंधे की लाठी, आँच न आने देना, एक तो चोरी दूसरे सीना जोरी, अपनी खिचड़ी अलग पकाना, ईश्वर की माया कहीं धूप कहीं छाया, चादर से बाहर पैर पसारना, एक मछली सारे तालाब को गंदा करती है, आम के आम गुठलियों के दाम, आँख उठाना, चूड़ियाँ पहनना, अंग-अंग ढीला होना, अकेला चना भाड़ नहीं फोड़ सकता, अंधी पीसे कुत्ता खाय, ऊँट के मुँह में जीरा, आँख से अंधे नाम नैन सुख, आँखों का तारा, गुदड़ी का लाल, अंधे को दीपक दिखाना, एक पंथ दो काज, अकलमारी जाना, आँखें दिखाना, अपनी-अपनी ढफली अपना-अपना राग, अँधा क्या जाने बसंत बहार, आँखें फेरना, आँखें चुराना, कान में पड़ना, घाव पर नमक छिड़कना, घी के दिए जलाना, आँख के अंधे गांठ के पूरे, गागर में सागर भरना, श्री गणेश करना, बगलें झाकना, लातों के भूत बातों से नहीं मानते, काठ की हांडी बार-बार नहीं चढ़ती, टका सा जवाब देना, मिट्टी का माधो, पगड़ी उछालना, न रहेगा बाँस न बजेगी बाँसुरी, काला अक्षर भैंस बराबर, लोहा लेना, घर की मुर्गी दाल बराबर, घर का भेदी लंका ढाहे, दिन फिरना, खोदा पहाड़ निकली चूहिया।

मुहावरा ऐसे वाक्यांश को कहते हैं जो किसी सामान्य अर्थ का बोध न कराकर विशेष अर्थ का बोध कराता है। वाक्य में इसका प्रयोग क्रिया के समान होता है, जैसे-‘आकाश-पाताल एक करना’। इस वाक्यांश का सामान्य अर्थ है ‘पृथ्वी और आकाश को परस्पर मिलाना’ लेकिन ऐसा संभव नहीं हो सकता है। अत: मुहावरे के रूप में इसका विशेष अर्थ होगा-‘बहुत परिश्रम करना’ इसी प्रकार ‘अंगारे बरसना’ का अर्थ होगा-‘बहुत तेज धूप पड़ना’।

मुहावरों का सहज-स्वाभाविक प्रयोग करके अपनी मौखिक या लिखित भाषा को अधिक प्रभावपूर्ण, सशक्त और आकर्षक बनाया जा सकता है। साहित्यकार इनके प्रयोग से भाषा को साहित्यिकता का गुण प्रदान करते हैं, क्योंकि ये कम शब्दों में भावों को गहनता, सरसता और गंभीरता प्रदान करने की विशेषता रखते हैं। मुहावरे वाक्य को लाक्षणिकता का गुण प्रदान करते हैं।

मुहावरों का उचित प्रयोग करते समय निम्नलिखित बातों की ओर विशेष ध्यान देना चाहिए-
मुहावरे का अर्थ।
मुहावरे का वाक्य में सटीक प्रयोग।
वाक्य का अनिवार्य अंग।
मुहावरे का सामान्य नहीं अपितु विशेष अर्थ।
क्रिया, लिंग, वचन, कारक आदि के अनुसार मुहावरे में परिवर्तन।

लोकोक्तियाँ

‘लोकोक्ति’ शब्द दो शब्दों ‘लोक’ और ‘उक्ति’ के मेल से बना है जिसे कहावत भी कहा जाता है। भाषा को प्रभावशाली बनाने के लिए मुहावरों के समान लोकोक्तियों का प्रयोग किया जाता है। ‘लोक में प्रचलित उक्ति’ को लोकोक्ति कहते हैं। लोकोक्ति ऐसा वाक्य होता है जिसे कथन की पुष्टि के लिए प्रस्तुत किया जाता है। लोकोक्ति के पीछे मानव-समाज का अनुभव अथवा घटना विशेष रहती है। मुहावरे के समान इसका भी विशेष अर्थ ग्रहण किया जाता है, जैसे- “हाथ कंगन को आरसी क्या” इसका अर्थ होगा “प्रत्यक्ष को प्रमाण की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।” यहाँ लोक-जीवन का अनुभव प्रकट हो रहा है-यदि हाथ में कंगन पहना हो तो उसे देखने के लिए शीशे की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।

3. मुहावरे में लाक्षणिक अर्थ होता है।	3. लोकोक्ति में शाब्दिक और लाक्षणिक दोनों अर्थ विद्यमान होते हैं।

PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry Ex 5.2

Question 1.
How would you rewrite Euclid’s fifth postulate so that it would be easier to understand?
Answer:
‘When a straight line l falls on two other straight lines m and n, it makes four interior angles. If the sum of two interior angles on the same side of line l is 180°, then lines m and n will never intersect each other, i.e., lines m and n are parallel line.

Question 2.
Does Euclid’s fifth postulate imply the existence of parallel lines? Explain.
Answer:
Yes. Euclid’s fifth postulate implies the existence of parallel lines. If a straight line l falls on two straight lines m and n such that the sum of the interior angles on one side of l is two right angles (180°), then by Euclid’s fifth postulate the lines m and n will not meet on this side of l. At the same time, the sum of the Interior angles on the other side of l will also be two right angles (180°). Hence, lines m and n will not meet on that side of l also. Thus, m and n will never meet if the sum of the interior angles on one side is two right angles (180°). This states that lines m and n are parallel.
