Total Questions : 97 | Page 3 of 10 pages
Question 21. Opaque objects allow light to pass through them partially.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Pure water
  4.    Clear glass
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Opaque objects are those that donot allow light to pass through them. For example: wood, plastics etc.
On the other hand translucent materials are those thatallow only some light to pass through them. Examples of translucent materials are tracing paper, frosted glass andthin cloth.
Question 22. Which of the following objects is not transparent?
  1.    Smoke
  2.    Air
  3.    Pure water
  4.    Clear glass
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Smoke
:
A
Among the given options, smoke is not transparent because, we cannot clearly see things throughit. It does not allow all the light to completelypass through it as it is translucent in nature.
Question 23. Which of the following is not a necessary requirement to see an object?
  1.    Light
  2.    Object
  3.    Eyes
  4.    Mirror
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Mirror
:
D
Among the given options, light is necessary as it is responsible for the sensation of vision or in other words it enables us to see. Without eyes, we can not sense light. The object is obviously necessary as we can not see something which does not exist. A mirror is required only when we want to see the reflection of an object.
Question 24. The reason behind the formation of a shadow and an image is the same.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Shadow is formed when an opaque object comes in the path of light.
  4.    Shadow is formed when a transparent object comes in the path of sound.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Shadow formation is due to obstruction of light by an opaque or translucent object which causes darkness on the screen behind. Image formation is due to reflection of light rays from an object. These two are completely differentphenomena. Hence, it is false.
Question 25. Chintu was holding an object in his hand and he was able to see Mintu through the object very clearly. What could the object possibly be?
  1.    Cardboard sheet
  2.    Metal sheet
  3.    Glass sheet
  4.    Notebook
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Glass sheet
:
C
A material which allows light to completely pass through it is called as transparent material. One can easily see objects on the other side of a transparent object. Out of the given options, glass is the only transparent material. So, Chintu would be holding a glass sheet.
Question 26. Which of the following is necessary for the formation of a shadow?
  1.    Glass
  2.    Mirror
  3.    Light
  4.    Air
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Light
:
C
Shadow is formed on a surface only when the light is obstructed by an opaque or a translucent object. So, for the shadow formation, there should be a surface, an opaque or transluent object and incident light on the object.
Question 27. Which of the following statements is true?
  1.    Shadow is formed when a transparent object comes in the path of light.
  2.    Shadow is formed when an opaque object comes in the path of sound.
  3.    Shadow is formed when an opaque object comes in the path of light.
  4.    Shadow is formed when a transparent object comes in the path of sound.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Shadow is formed when an opaque object comes in the path of light.
:
C
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque or translucent object. Opaque objects, such as a tree, completely block light and form a dark shadow. Transparent objects, such as glass, do not create a shadow because the light completely passes through them.
Question 28. Which of the following surfaces produce clear images?
  1.    Translucent surface
  2.    Unpolished and non-reflecting surface
  3.    Polished and plane reflecting surface
  4.    Transparent surface
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Polished and plane reflecting surface
:
C
Polished and plane reflecting surfaces without irregularities and unevenness produce clear images as they cause regular reflection.
Transparent objects causes no reflection.
Only partial reflection occurs in translucent surfaces and hence, image, if formed is unclear.
Question 29. Do all opaque objects cast shadows? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Yes, all opaque objects cast shadows.
Question 30. What do you mean by a luminous object? Give example. Is moon a luminous object, as it appears bright at night? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Luminous object: 1 Mark
Example: 1 Mark
Moon: 1 Mark
The objects, which emit their own light, are known as luminous objects. Example: Sun.
No, the moon is not a luminous object because it does not emit its own light. The moon appears bright at night because it reflects the sunlight that falls on it.
