 Question 1.Suppose you are in a dark room. Can you see objects in the room? Can you see objects outside the room? Explain.

 

Answer:We cannot see objects in the dark room. But we can see objects outside the room, in case there is light outside the room. To see an object, we need light which must reflect from the object to the eyes.

 

Question 2.Differentiate between regular and diffused reflection. Does diffused reflection mean the failure of the laws of reflection?

Answer:Following are the differences between a regular reflection and diffused reflection:

No, diffused reflection is not due to failure of laws of reflection.

 

Question 3.Mention against each of the following whether regular or diffused reflection will take place when a beam of light strikes. Justify your answer in each case.

(a) Polished wooden table

(d) Chalk powder

(b) Cardboard surface

(e) Marble floor with water spread over it

(c) Mirror

(f) Piece of paper.

Answer:

(a) A polished wooden table will have regular reflection because its surface is smooth.

(b) A chalk powder will get the diffused reflection because chalk particles are not smooth.

(c) Cardboard surface has minute irregularities on it, so it will have a diffused reflection.

(d) Marble stone with water spread over it will have regular reflection if water is stable but if waves are formed then diffused reflection will take place.

(e) A mirror will reflect light regularly due to its smooth surface.

(f) A piece of paper will have irregular reflection due to minute irregularities on it.

 

 Question 4.Fill in the blanks in the following:

(a) A person 1 m in front of a plane 2

(b) If you touch your ear with right hand in front of a plane mirror it will be seen in the mirror that your right ear is touched with left, left hand

(c) The size of the pupil becomes when you see in dim light. large

(d) Night birds have cones than rods in their eyes. lesser

 

Question-5 Choose the correct option in Questions  :

 

1 .Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

(a) Always (√)

(b) Sometimes

(c) Under special conditions

(d) Never.

2.Image formed by a plane mirror is:

(a) virtual, behind the mirror and enlarged.

(b) virtual, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object. (√)

(c) real at the surface of the mirror and enlarged.

(d) real, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object.

 Question 6.Draw a labeled sketch of the human eye.

Answer:


 A. Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.What do you understand by the refraction of light?

Answer:The deviation (bending) of a ray of light when it passes from one transparent Medium to another, is called refraction of light.

 Question 2.What happens when light passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium?

Answer:The velocity of light changes and also the direction of movement of light changes.

Question 3.What is refracted ray?

Answer:The ray of light emerging in the

 

B. Long Answer Type Questions

Question 4.Where should an object be placed for using a convex lens as magnifying glass?

Answer:Object should be placed between focus and lens.


 
Question 5.How does retina send sensations to brain?

Answer:Retina sends sensations to brain through nerve cells.

 
Question 6.What is a mirror? What kind of image is formed in a mirror?

Answer:Any smooth and shining surface can act as a mirror. A mirror is a smooth surface which is polished from its back and can form the image of the object which is placed in front of it. The image formed by a mirror is a virtual and erect and is of the same size as that of the object in front of it.

 

Question 7.What is dispersion of light?

Answer:A beam of white light consists of seven colours. When a beam of white light passes through a prism, it splits into its seven constituent colours. The splitting of white light into its seven constituent colours is called dispersion of light. Rainbow is a natural phenomenon showing dispersion.
