Question 1. We can see only luminous objects.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Reflection
  4.    Refraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The given statement is false. We can also see non-luminous objects when the light reflected by them reaches our eyes.
We Can See Only Luminous Objects.
Question 2. Rods enable perception of colour.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Reflection
  4.    Refraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Rods enable vision at low light levels. Cones on the other hand enable perception of colour.
Question 3. For an image formed by a plane mirror, the left part of the object appears on the right side in the image and vice versa. This is known as ___.
  1.    lateral inversion
  2.    diffused reflection
  3.    vertical inversion
  4.    magnification
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> lateral inversion
:
A
For an image formed by aplane mirror, the left part of the object appears on the right side in the image and vice versa. This phenomenon is known as lateral inversion.
An example of lateral inversion by a plane mirror is as shownbelow.
For An Image Formed By A Plane Mirror, The Left Part Of The ...
Question 4. The reflection taking place on a rough surface like a rock is an example of regular reflection.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    6
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Reflection of light from a rough surface is called irregular reflection of light for e.g. a rock, sand, rough wooden table,etc. From this kind ofsurface,a ray incident on the surface is scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle.
The Reflection Taking Place On A Rough Surface Like A Rock I...
Question 5. A blind person can never read and write.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    It is caused by the decrease in the size of an eyeball
  4.    A person suffering from it finds difficult to read books
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Blind persons can read and write byusingthe Braille script.Braille was developed to help visually challenged people read by moving their fingers on impressions made on paper. In Braille, there are definite impressions for all letters which a blind person can feel through his fingertips and recognize .
A Blind Person Can Never Read And Write.
Question 6. If you stand between two parallel plane mirrors, how many images would be formed?
  1.    1
  2.    Infinite
  3.    2
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Infinite
:
B
If the angle of inclination between two plane mirrors is 'x' degrees, the number of images formed, 'n' is given by,
n=360x1
In case of two parallel plane mirrors, the angle of inclination between them is 0o.
Hence, infinite images would be formed as each image acts as an object for the other mirror.
Question 7. On which of the following reflecting surfaces will diffused reflection take place?
  1.    Plane mirror
  2.    Polished marble floor
  3.    Chalk powder
  4.    Polished wooden table
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Chalk powder
:
C
Regular reflection occur at highly smooth surfaces. Any surface that is polished will have a highly smooth surface. Among the options, polished marble floor and polished wooden table have very smooth surfaces. Thus, regular reflection takes place on those surfaces. Also, plane mirror is very smooth. It's probably the smoothest of surfaces. Regular reflection occurs there also.
However, chalk powderforms a rough surface. Any reflection happening there is diffused reflection.
Question 8. Splitting of light into its component colours is known as:
  1.    Lateral Inversion
  2.    Dispersion
  3.    Reflection
  4.    Refraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Dispersion
:
B
Splitting of light into its constituent colours is known asdispersion of light. This happens through multiple refractions where the constituent colours of light deviate at different angles.
Question 9. In which of the following cases, irregular reflection is taking place?
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Dispersion
:
D
Irregular reflection takes place when light rays are incident on a rough surface like wall, wood, a piece of wool etc,which are not smooth or polished. So, different portions of the surface reflect the incident light rays in different directions.
Question 10. Angle made by the incident ray with the line representing the surface of the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Reflection
  4.    Refraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Angle made by the incident ray with the normal to the plane of the mirror is called the angle of incidence.
Angle Made By The Incident Ray With The Line Representing Th...
