Question 81.


What can you say about the edges of a shadow?


  1.     They are always blurry.
  2.     They are always sharp.
  3.     The sharpness is high if the light is from a point source.
  4.     The sharpness is low if the light is from a point source.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> The sharpness is high if the light is from a point source.
:
C

A shadow is a region where light from a light source is obstructed by an opaque object. When a single point source of light is present, the screen behind has a clear dark region. But, when multiple sources are present, a part of the screen is partially dark, and a part of the screen is completely dark. This causes the formation of blurred shadow.


Question 82.


The image formed in a pinhole camera is inverted because of the rectilinear propagation of light.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Opaque object
  4.     Metal object
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Light travels in a straight line. Thus light from the top of the object after passing through the pinhole will reach the bottom of the camera screen and light from the bottom of the object will pass through the pinhole and reach the top of the screen. This will cause an inversion of the image as shown below.

Question 83.


A body which emits light by itself is called_______.


  1.     luminous body
  2.     non-luminous body
  3.     reflecting body
  4.     refracting body
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> luminous body
:
A

Objects which emit light of their own are called luminous objects. Stars, flashlight, candles etc are examples of luminous objects. Non-luminous objects are visible because they reflect light emitted by luminous objects.


Question 84.


How can you convert a transparent glass sheet into a translucent glass sheet?


  1.     By using glass paint
  2.     By attaching a cardboard sheet
  3.     By attaching a thin metal sheet
  4.     By attaching another glass sheet
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> By using glass paint
:
A
Cardboard and metal sheets are opaque and attaching them will make the glass opaque.
After attaching another glass sheet, the glass remains transparent as both glass sheets allow all light to pass through them.
Painting the sheet with glass paint, will cause partial absorption of light, thereby making it translucent.

Question 85.


How can we protect our eyes while looking at a strong source of light?


  1.     By using a mirror.
  2.     By using reflective glasses.
  3.     By looking through a glass .
  4.     By using paper.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> By using reflective glasses.
:
B
Strong sources of light, like Sun, emit very intense light which can damage our eyes. In order to look at them, the intensity must be reduced to an appropriate level. This could be achieved by using partially reflective, partially transparent media.
Therefore, reflective glasses can be used to protect our eyes while looking at a strong source of light.
Question 86.


In a completely dark room, we can see our face in the mirror.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     During evening and morning, the intensity of sunlight is very high.
  4.     During evening and morning, the intensity of sunlight is very low.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
When we see our image in a mirror, following steps occur:

  1. Light from a source falls on the face.

  2. Our face reflects (diffused reflection) light in all directions.

  3. Reflected light from the face falls on the mirror and is reflected back.

  4. When light reflected from mirror reaches our eyes, we see our face.


When the room is dark, where no light source exists, step 1 does not happen and hence, we cannot see our reflection in the mirror.
Question 87.


Our shadows are longer in the morning and evening. Why? 


  1.     During evening and morning the angle of elevation from the Sun is low.
  2.     During morning and evening, the size of Sun increases.
  3.     During evening and morning, the intensity of sunlight is very high.
  4.     During evening and morning, the intensity of sunlight is very low.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> During evening and morning the angle of elevation from the Sun is low.
:
A

At noon the sun is at its highest point, so it hits you at an angle closest to 90 than any other part of the day. In the morning and late afternoon, however, it is much lower in the sky and hits you at a more lateral angle, extending your shadow. 


Question 88.


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 89.


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 90.


An image formed by a pinhole camera is______and_______.


  1.     inverted
  2.     erect
  3.     virtual
  4.     real
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> inverted
:
A and D

See the image below:
An Image Formed By A Pinhole Camera Is______and_______.

Light travels in a straight line, light from the top of the object after passing through the pinhole will reach the bottom of camera screen and light from the bottom of the object will pass through the pinhole and reach the top of the screen as you can see in the figure. Also, the image is formed on a screen, it is real.
