Total Questions : 97 | Page 4 of 10 pages
Question 31. What types of objects do not cast shadows? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Transparent: 1 Mark
Translucent: 1 Mark
Transparent object and a few translucent objects do notcast shadows because light passes through them.
Question 32. Write the differences between umbra and penumbra. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each Difference: 1 Mark
UmbraPenumbra(1) It is the darkest region of the shadowIt is the partially shaded region which isless darker than umbra(2) No light approaches this regionSome light rays reach this region(3) It can be found at the centreof the shadowIt can be found in the outermostregion of the shadow
Question 33. What are non-luminous objects? Give two examples. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Non-luminous: 1 Mark
Examples: 1 Mark
The objects, which do not emit their own light, are known as non-luminous objects. We cansee a non-luminous object only if they reflect light coming from aluminous object. Moon and earth are the examples of anon-luminous object.
Question 34. How many images will be formed if a face is kept between two parallel straight mirrors? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Infinite number of images will be formed in this case an image formed on one mirror will produce another image on the second mirror and so it will go on.

Question 35. Which shape will you use to create a circular shadow, if a torch is held in one way and rectangular shadow if the torch is held in another way? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Circular Shadow: 1.5 Marks
Rectangular Shadow: 1.5 Marks
A cylindrical object can cast shadows in two ways. When the top circular view faces the sun, a circular shape is formed. When it's horizontal side faces the sun, it casts a rectangular shadow.
It will look like the following figure.

Question 36. What is a shadow? Give an example. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Shadow: 2 Marks
When light falls on anopaque object, a dark patch is formed on the other side of the object, if a screen is present on the other side. This dark patch is known as the shadow.

Question 37. State the principle behind the working of a pinhole camera. [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Light travels in a straight line. This principle is behind the working of a pinhole camera.
Question 38. How are shadows formed? What are the two types of shadows based on the source of light? Do all objects cast shadows? [5 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Shadow Formation: 2 Marks
Types of shadows: 2 Marks
Types of Objects: 1 Mark
A shadow isjust a space or regionwhere there is no light since an opaque object is blocking light rays. The position and intensity of the source of light affects the properties of the type of shadow that is formed.
Light sources can be either point or non-point (extended) in nature. If it is a point source of light, then it forms a simple shadow called an umbra. If it is an extended light source, the shadow is divided into the umbra, penumbra, and antumbra. They can also be used to define levels of darkness, as is sometimes done when dealing with sunspots.
No, only opaque objects can cast a shadow.
Question 39. If you hold up a mirror in a dark room, would you be able to see your reflection in the mirror? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Answer: 1 Mark
Reason: 2 Marks
No, you won't be able to see your reflection in the mirror.
An image is formed when light is reflected by an object and reaches our eye. In the dark room, there is no light, which means there won't be anyreflection of light. Hence, no image will be formed by a mirror in a completely dark room.
Question 40. Why are the shadows formed in the morning and evening bigger than the shadows formed in the noon? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Reason: 3 Marks
Shadows are formed when an object is placed in the path of light and that object does not let the lightpass through it. Shadows are formed on the opposite side of the object.
During morning and evening, the incident angle of the light is very small. Due to this, long shadows are formed in the morning and evening than the noon.
