The velocity of light in diamond, glass and water decreases in the following order :
- A Water > glass > diamond
- B diamond > glass > water
- C diamond > water > glass
- D Water > diamond > glass
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Water > glass > diamond
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Velocity is inversely proportional to the refractive index ( \(v=c / n\) ). Since diamond has the highest refractive index and water the lowest, light travels fastest in water and slowest in diamond.Water > glass > diamond

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :CUET 2024 Medium - Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Aldehydes and ketones represent two essential classes of organic compounds which are extensively used in the synthesis of a wide variety of other organic molecules. Due to the inherent polarity of the central carbonyl group, these substances readily undergo nucleophilic addition reactions. Broadly speaking, these addition reactions can be categorized into two types: one in which simple addition of the nucleophilic reagent occurs across the \(> C = O\) bond, and the second type where the initial addition is subsequently followed by the elimination of a water molecule. A variety of ammonia derivatives, including hydroxylamine, hydraaine, phenylhydraxine, 2,4-dinitroplhemylhdrasine, and semicarbaside, all belong to this second category of reactions. These specific derivatives are fundamentally used for the identification and definitive characterization of aldehydes and ketones. Significantly, both types of nucleophilic addition reactions are strongly influenced by both steric and electronic factors. As a general rule, aliphatic aldehydes exhibit higher reactivity compared to aromatic aldehydes. The aliphatic aldehydes demonstrate the ability to reduce both Fehling's solution and Tollen's reagent, whereas aromatic aldehydes are limited to reducing only Tollen's reagent. In a similar manner to aldehydes, aromatic ketones are observed to be less reactive than aliphatic ketones towards all nucleophilic addition reactions. In a separate context, phenols and carboxylic acids both exhibit acidic properties in nature. Both classes of compounds readily dissolve in NaOH solution and cause blue litmus to turn red. However, carboxylic acids stand out as much stronger acids than phenols and thus can decompose sodium bicarbonate \(\left( NaHCO _3\right)\) with the distinct evolution of \(CO _2\) gas, a reaction which phenols do not undergo. It is important to note that both electron- donating and electron- withdrawing substituents significantly influence the acid strength of both aliphatic as well as aromatic carboxylic acids. Furthermore, unlike all other common aliphatic acids, formic acid uniquely possesses reducing properties and simultaneously does not display the typical reactions characteristic of the allyl group.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
A. Aldehydes give positive test with Tollen's reagent.
B. Ketones give positive test with Fehling's solution
C. Ketones do not react with Fehling's solution.
D. Aldehydes with Schiff's reagent restore pink colour
E. Ketones with Schiff's reagent restore pink colour.

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups, so the letter "e" was dropped and ther term vitamin is used these days.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues. Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. They must be supplied regularly in the diet as they are readily excreated in urine.
