(5) Mention the types of clocks based on their display.
Answer :
There are two types of clocks based on their display –
(1) Analog clocks
(2) Digital clocks.
(6) How many times will the ‘minute hand’ rotate in one hour?
Answer :
A minute hand of a clock makes a complete revolution in one hour.
(7) How many hours are there in a minute?
Answer :
0.0167 hours are there in a minute.
(VII) Answer briefly.
(1) What is measurement?
Answer :
Measurement is the measurement of the physical quantities. Measurement is the base of all scientific studies and experimentations. Measurements have different units.
(2) Name the three scales of temperature.
Answer :
The name of the three scales of temperature are
- Celsius,
- Fahrenheit
- Kelvin
(3) Define – Ampere.
Answer :
One coulomb of charge is flowing through a conductor in one second then the amount of current flowing is said to be one ampere. Ampere is the device used to measure electric current.
(4) What is electric current?
Answer :
Flow of electric charges in a particular direction is known as Electric current.
(5) What do you mean by luminous intensity?
Answer :
The measure of the power of the emitted light by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid is called as luminous intensity.

(2) Write a short note on different types of clocks.
Answer :
There are main two types of clocks display and working clocks. Clocks are used to measure time intervals. Display clocks are the two types –
(a) Analog clocks : This type of clocks are the classic clocks. They have three hands to show time. Hours hands, minutes hands and seconds hands.
(b) Digital clocks : They show time directly. This type of clocks shows time in numerals or other symbols. This type of clocks may have 12 hrs or 24 hours display. This clocks are also called electronic clocks.
The second types of clocks are working clocks. It also have two types –
(a) Quartz clock : There clocks are activated by electronic oscillations, which are controlled by a quartz crystal. Quartz clock is more accurate than mechanical clock.
(b) Atomic clock : There clocks make use of periodic vibrations occurring within the atom. This type of clocks are used in GPS system and international time distribution services.
