Question 31.


If 'i' represents the angle of incidence and 'r' represents the angle of reflection, then which of the following option(s) is true?


  1.     i=45, r=43
  2.     i=42, r=50
  3.     i=35, r=35
  4.     i=45, r=45
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> i=35, r=35
:
C and D

From laws of reflection, we know that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.


Question 32.


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 33.


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 34.


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 of the image will also be 10 cm.


Question 35.


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 a plane 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 shown below.
For An Image Formed By A Plane Mirror, The Left Part Of The ...


Question 36.


In which of the following cases, irregular reflection is taking place?


  1.    
  2.    
  3.    
  4.    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. ->
:
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 37.


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 powder forms a rough surface. Any reflection happening there is diffused reflection.


Question 38.


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 39.


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 40.


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.
