:
Each Point: 1 Mark
Opaque: a piece of rock, a sheet of aluminum, a mirror, a wooden board, a CD, an umbrella, a wall, a sheet of carbon paper, a sheet of cardboard.
Transparent: Air, water,a sheet of plane glass, a sheet of cellophane.
Translucent: smoke, fog,a wire mesh.
Luminous: a piece of red-hot iron, a lighted fluorescent tube, the flame of a gas burner, a lighted torch, kerosene stove, Sun, firefly.
Non-luminous: Air, water, a piece of rock, a sheet of aluminum, a mirror, a wooden board, a sheet of polythene, a CD, smoke, a sheet of plane glass, fog, an umbrella, a wall, a sheet of carbon paper, a sheet of cardboard, a sheet of cellophane, a wire mesh, moon.
Question 42. All stars are luminous in nature.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Objects which emit light on their own are known as luminous objects. Stars always emit their own light and therefore are luminous objects.
Question 43. 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 etcemit light of their own. So any kind of flame is luminous.
Question 44. 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'tsee 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 45. Which of the following is an example of bioluminescence ?
  1.    Bee      
  2.    Butterfly       
  3.    Firefly
  4.    Stars
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Firefly
:
C
Bioluminescenceis the production and emission of light by a living organism. Among the given options, only stars and firefliesemit their own light butstars are not living objects andbutterfliesand bees do not emitlight. So firefly is an example of bioluminescence.
Question 46. 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 47. During shadow formation, shadow region is darker than the region lit by the source of light.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    to see it through a normal telescope
  4.    to see with naked eyes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
A shadow is formed when an object blocks the path of light. Hence, the shadow is formed due to absence of light. Thus, the shadow region is darker than the source light region.
During Shadow Formation, Shadow Region Is Darker Than The Re...
Question 48.


Which of the following object is luminous?


  1.     Mirror
  2.     Moon
  3.     Earth
  4.     Sun
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Sun
:
D

Luminous objects emit their own light. This light may come to our eyes directly or through reflection by non-luminous objects enabling us to see. Examples of luminous objects are stars, flashlight etc.


Question 49.


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 50.


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.
