Question 91.


Which of the following is an example of bioluminescence ?


  1.     Bee      
  2.     Butterfly       
  3.     Firefly
  4.     Stars
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Firefly
:
C

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Among the given options, only stars and fireflies emit their own light but stars are not living objects and butterflies and bees do not emit light. So firefly is an example of bioluminescence.


Question 92.


The flame of a gas stove is________


  1.     luminous   
  2.     non-luminous
  3.     transparent
  4.     opaque 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> luminous   
:
A

Objects which emit light on their own are known as luminous objects. For example, candle, gas flame etc emit light of their own. So any kind of flame is luminous.


Question 93.


The best way to observe a solar eclipse is ___.


  1.     to see it using a blackened/dark plate of glass
  2.     to see it through a binoculars
  3.     to see it through a normal telescope
  4.     to see with naked eyes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> to see it using a blackened/dark plate of glass
:
A
Looking at the sun can cause permanent damage to one's eyes even on an eclipse. This is because the intensity of light coming from the sun is very high. In order to observe a solar eclipse, one should use a media which absorbs or reflects most of the sunlight allowing just a small fraction of light to fall on our eyes. One such media can be a glass plate blackened over sooty flame of a candle.
Question 94.


Mirror is an example of a/an ________ object.


  1.     transparent
  2.     translucent
  3.     opaque
  4.     non-reflective
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> opaque
:
C
Mirror consists of a silver coating which reflects the light falling on it. Hence, it does not allow light to pass through it. So, mirror is an opaque object.
Question 95.


Which of the following statement is true regarding the shape of  a shadow?


  1.     It is always similar to the object.
  2.     It depends on the orientation of light source and the size of the object.
  3.     It is always smaller than the object.
  4.     It is always larger than the object.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> It depends on the orientation of light source and the size of the object.
:
B

The shape of a shadow depends on the shape of the object and on the orientation of the source of light with respect to the object. For example, the shadow of a cube can be rhombus, square or rectangle depending on the orientation of source of light. In addition, the size will depend upon the distance between the object and the source of light.


Question 96.


Why can't we see an upside down image of the sun through the pinhole camera?


  1.     A pinhole camera can only make point size image.
  2.     An object like the sun which is infinite in size, forms point size image.
  3.     Sun is spherical in shape.
  4.     Because pinhole camera always gives an upstraight image.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sun is spherical in shape.
:
C

Pinhole camera always forms inverted image only. The reason we don't see the image of the sun inverted is that the image is very small and it is highly symmetrical (the sun itself is spherical and symmetric). So, being inverted or not it appears to be the same.


Question 97.


To see shadows with the help of our eyes, a screen is required.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Sun is spherical in shape.
  4.     Because pinhole camera always gives an upstraight image.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Shadows are formed when an object blocks the light. The screen is necessary for the shadow to be projected (which is just the absence of light) and only after that, a shadow is visible.
