Question 21. A Concave Mirror Can Converge A Parallel Beam Of Light To A ...
A concave mirror can converge a parallel beam of light to a point. The reflection taking place, in this case, is a regular reflection.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    2
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Regular reflection is a reflection in which all the incident parallel rays of lightremains parallelafter reflection from the reflecting surface. Incase of concave mirrors, the parallel beam of light is converged to apoint after reflection and hence ceases to be a parallel beam of light. Thus, the reflection is not regular, but an irregular one.
Question 22. One of your friends in your class is wearing a convex lens to correct his vision. He is suffering from which of the following visual defects?
  1.    Myopia
  2.    Hypermetropia
  3.    Presbyopia
  4.    Night-blindness
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Hypermetropia
:
B
As your friend is wearing a convex lens to correct his vision, he is suffering from hypermetropia. In this defect, the person is not able to see objects which are near him as the image is formed behind the retina. This is corrected using a convex lens. Convex lens, which is a converging lens, shifts the image onto the retina. The figure below depicts the correction of hypermetropia.

Question 23. A candle of height 10 cm is kept 5 cm away from a plane mirror. What would be the height of the image?
  1.    15 cm
  2.    0 cm
  3.    10 cm
  4.    5 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 10 cm
:
C
A plane mirror forms an image which has the same size as the object. Plane mirror does not magnify the image. Therefore, the size ofthe image will also be 10 cm.
Question 24. The minimum distance at which one can read comfortably with a normal eye is about
  1.    25 cm
  2.    50 cm
  3.    10 cm
  4.    100 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 25 cm
:
A
The most comfortable distance at which one can read with a normal eye is about 25 cm.​ This distance is called the least distance of distinct vision.
Question 25.

Question 26.


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.


Question 27.


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 28.


A Concave Mirror Can Converge A Parallel Beam Of Light To A ...
A concave mirror can converge a parallel beam of light to a point. The reflection taking place, in this case, is a regular reflection.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     2
  4.     10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Regular reflection is a reflection in which all the incident parallel rays of light remains parallel after reflection from the reflecting surface. In case of concave mirrors, the parallel beam of light is converged to a point after reflection and hence ceases to be a parallel beam of light. Thus, the reflection is not regular, but an irregular one.


Question 29.


Which of the following alternatives regarding a blind spot is/are correct?


  1.     Has no sensory cells
  2.     No vision possible at that spot
  3.     Present in the retina
  4.     Present in the lens
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> No vision possible at that spot
:
A, B, and C
The lens focuses light on a layer called retina. Retina has sensory cells that reponds to the incoming light. Optic nerves originate from the retina and carries nerve impulse to the brain for interpretation. At the junction of the optic nerve and the retina, there are no sensory cells, so no vision is possible at that spot. This is called the blind spot.

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.
