Question 11. The phenomenon of multiple reflections is the working principle of which object?
  1.    Magnifying lens
  2.    Periscope
  3.    Microscope
  4.    Spectacles
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Periscope
:
B
The Phenomenon Of Multiple Reflections Is The Working Princi...
In a periscope, light rays are reflected twice so that we can indirectly see the objects from different position. As you can observe from the figure, the beams of light are reflected by the two mirror surfaces one after the other.Magnifying lens,microscopes and spectacles have lenses in them and reflection is not the primary principle for working of these equipments.
Question 12. Which of the following is true about the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal?
  1.    They lie in the planes that are perpendicular to each other.
  2.    They lie in the planes that are parallel to each other.
  3.    They all lie in the same plane.
  4.    They lie in the planes that are at an angle of 60∘ with each other.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> They all lie in the same plane.
:
C
From the laws of reflection, we know that the incidentray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.
Which Of The Following Is True About The Incident Ray, The R...
Question 13. In a human eye, image is formed at the ______.
  1.    cornea
  2.    retina
  3.    vitreous humour
  4.    lens
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> retina
:
B
In human eye, image is formed at the retina, a sensitive layer present inside the eye.
In A Human Eye, Image Is Formed At The ______.
Question 14. What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
  1.    Angle of incidence > Angle of reflection.
  2.    Angle of incidence < Angle of reflection.
  3.    Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection.
  4.    There is no relationship between angle of incidence and angle of reflection.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection.
:
C
According to the laws of reflection,
The angle of incidence is equal to theangle of reflection.
Or,
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
Question 15. If two plane mirrors are kept inclined to each other at an angle of 60 degrees, the number of images of the object formed is:
  1.    4
  2.    5
  3.    6
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5
:
B
Whenever two plane mirrors are kept inclined to each other, multiple reflections takes place and multiple images are formed.
If the angle of inclination between two plane mirrors is 'x' degrees, the number of images formed, 'n' is given by,
n=360x1
In this case, x = 60 degrees.
n=360601
n=61
n=5
Thus, the number images formed is 5.
Question 16. Laws of reflection are not valid in the case of irregular reflection.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    50∘
  4.     60∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Laws of reflection are valid for all kinds of reflection, be it regular or irregular.
In case of irregular reflection of parallel rays, the reflected rays are not parallel. If we consider the individual rays, we see that the laws of reflection apply to each of them.

Question 17. A Ray OA Is Incident upon A Smooth Surface POQ. It Is Refle...
A ray OA is incident upon a smooth surface POQ. It is reflected back along OB, a normal ON is drawn perpendicular to the surface at O (the point of incidence) and the value of AOP is 
60. Find the value of x.
  1.    30∘
  2.    40∘
  3.    50∘
  4.     60∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 30∘
:
A
AOP+AON=90 (as ON is perpendicular to POQ)
Given, AOP=60
AON=9060
AON=30
By Laws of reflection,
AON=BON=x
Thus, x=30
Question 18. Shape of the eye lens doesn't change under any circumstances.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Present in the retina
  4.    Present in the lens
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Shape of eye lens changes as we try to focus on objects at different distances. Ciliary muscles holding the lens contracts and relaxes to bring about such a change in the lens.
Question 19. Which Of The Following Options Correctly Describes The Reaso...
Which of the following options correctly describes the reason for the formation of rainbows?
  1.    Dispersion of light by water droplets present in the atmosphere
  2.    Reflection of light by water droplets present in the atmosphere
  3.    Absorption of light by water molecules present in the atmosphere
  4.    Dispersion of light by air molecules present in the atmosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Dispersion of light by water droplets present in the atmosphere
:
A
Rainbows are formed because of dispersion of light by the water droplets present in the atmosphere. When the white light passes through the water droplets suspended in the atmosphere, it is dispersed into its seven constituent colors which we call as a rainbow.
Question 20. Consider the following statements:
Statement 1: Cone cells are sensitive to dim light.
Statement 2: Rod cells are sensitive to bright light.
Choose the correct option:
  1.    Statement 1 is correct while the statement 2 is incorrect
  2.    Statement 1 is incorrect while the statement 2 is correct
  3.    Both the statements are correct
  4.    Both the statements are incorrect
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both the statements are incorrect
:
D
There are two kinds of sensitive cells present in the retina:
(i) Cones, which are sensitive to bright light and
(ii) Rods, which are sensitive to dim light.
Besides, cones are sensitive to colour.
Thus, both the statements in the question are incorrect.
