Total Questions : 97 | Page 6 of 10 pages
Question 51.


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 do not allow light to pass through them. For example: wood, plastics etc.
On the other hand translucent materials are those that allow only some light to pass through them. Examples of translucent materials are tracing paper, frosted glass and thin cloth. 


Question 52.


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 through it. It does not allow all the light to completely pass through it as it is translucent in nature. 


Question 53.


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 54.


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 different phenomena. Hence, it is false.


Question 55.


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 56.


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 57.


Which of the following is an opaque object?


  1.     Glass
  2.     Mirror
  3.     Air
  4.     Pure water
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mirror
:
B
Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through. 
A mirror is an opaque object since it reflects light and the light cannot pass through the mirror. 
Which Of The Following Is An Opaque Object?
Glass, air and water are transparent as they let light pass through them completely. 
 
Question 58.


Do all opaque objects cast shadows? [1 MARK]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mirror
:

Yes, all opaque objects cast shadows.


Question 59.


Write the differences between umbra and penumbra. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mirror
:
Each Difference: 1 Mark
UmbraPenumbra(1) It is the darkest region of the shadowIt is the partially shaded region which is less 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 outermost region of the shadow
Question 60.


What types of objects do not cast shadows? [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mirror
:

Transparent: 1 Mark
Translucent: 1 Mark
Transparent object and a few translucent objects do not cast shadows because light passes through them.
