Question 41.


Which of the following alternatives are correct regarding myopia?


  1.     A myopic person can see far away objects clearly
  2.     A myopic person can see near objects clearly
  3.     It can be caused when eyeball gets longer or elongated
  4.     It can be caused when an eyeball gets shorter or flattened
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> A myopic person can see near objects clearly
:
B and C

Myopia means shortsightedness. The person suffering from myopia can see nearby things clearly but the distant objects appears blurry. This is generally caused by two factors:


i. increase in the size of the eye-ball


ii. defect in the eyelens.


In both cases, the image is formed in front of the retina, instead of forming on the retina.

Question 42.


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 as dispersion of light. This happens through multiple refractions where the constituent colours of light deviate at different angles.


Question 43.


Which of the following are true regarding light?


  1.     It is a form of energy.
  2.     It makes things around us visible.
  3.     A ray of light travels in a straight line.
  4.     Light has mass.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> It makes things around us visible.
:
A, B, and C

Light is a form of energy. It is because of light that we are able to see the things around us. Thus makes things around us visible. A ray of light travels in a straight line as long as it is in one medium. However, light doesn't have mass.


Question 44.


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 45.


Which of the following alternatives regarding the hypermetropia are correct ?


  1.     A person suffering from it finds it difficult to read the board at a distance
  2.     It is caused by increase in the size of the eyeball
  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 C. -> It is caused by the decrease in the size of an eyeball
:
C and D

Hypermetropia means longsightedness. The person suffering from hypermetropia can see distant objects clearly but  the near objects appear blurry ( reading newspaper or a book). This is generally caused by two factors:


i. Decrease in the size of the eye ball


ii. Decrease in the power of the eye lens

Question 46.


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 47.


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 of surface, a ray incident on the surface is scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle.

Question 48.


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 by using the 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 49.


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 incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

Question 50.


Which of the following devices make use of the phenomenon of multiple reflection?


  1.     Kaleidoscope
  2.     Periscope
  3.     Spectacles
  4.     Microscope
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Kaleidoscope
:
A and B
Kaleidoscope and periscope works on the principle of multiple reflection.
1)Kaleidoscope : It has 3 long mirrors put together in form of an equilateral triangle. The set of mirrors is put inside a box of almost similar size. The box contains pieces of marbles at its bottom whic get reflected in the mirrors. Since the mirrors form an equilateral triangle with each of the mirror piece inclined with each other at 60 angle, the marble pieces get reflected a lot of times and form multiple images in the mirrors.

2)Periscope:
It is a device used for viewing objects higher than our field of vision. As shown in the image, two square shaped small mirrors are placed at angle of 45 in a cuboid box. The light comes in through the higher window falling and reflecting from the top mirror and falling on the bottom mirror. From the bottom mirror light is reflected to the observer and the observer is able to see object which is in front of top mirror window.
