WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER

You can work all day on a vital project without making any apparent progress into it — even though you have slogged hard, focused all your energies and even give up your lunch break to squeeze in more time. Your colleague, on the other hand, completes the same task in half-a-day and without any errors and leaves office with a smile. So why this huge difference in output? The answer lies in not being able to maximize productivity and minimize timelines. There is a vital difference between working hard and working smart and the letter is the way to accomplishing more in less time. Here are some ways in which you can become a smarter worker.

Plan and Assess: The biggest secret of success of smart workers is planning. Half the job is accomplished if you are able to plan in advance. Assess the work at hand, think about each aspect of
it in detail and then draw up a plan of action—either in your mind or on your paper. It allows you to tackle the job with focus and prevents oversights, wrong turns or misjudgements.

CBSE Class 12 - Physics - Chapter 11 - Dual Nature Of Radiation and Matter - Very Short Questions Answers (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Q1: Write the relationship of de-Broglie wavelength λ associated with a particle of mass m in terms of its kinetic energy K.

Answer: Kinetic Energy (K) = p²/2m
    where p = momentum and m = mass.
    ∴ p = √2mK

    ∴ de-Broglie wavelength λ = h/p = h/ √2mK

Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the composition, structure and properties of matter. Organic chemistry is predominantly concerned with the reactions that organic molecules undergo. Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Carboxylic acids contain both a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (–OH) on a terminal carbon. Carboxylic acids, like aldehydes, are terminal functional groups.
