Quiz 2
When light is reflected from the a spherical or curved surface:
Report Question
0%
the laws of reflections are followed
0%
the laws of reflections are not followed
0%
the laws of reflections may or may not be followed
0%
one of the laws is followed, the other is not
Explanation
The laws of reflection hold good irrespective of shape of the reflecting surface. So, the laws hold good for spherical or curved surfaces too.

Why does the pinhole camera produce an inverted image ?
Report Question
0%
The light passing through a convex lens produces an inverted image
0%
The light passing through a concave lens produces an inverted image
0%
The light travelling in a straight line passes through aperture to produce an inverted image
0%
Pinhole camera produces an upright image
Explanation
A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture, a pinhole – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect.

Explanation
A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture,(aperture is nothing but the hole here) a pinhole – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box.
Which of the following statements is true?
Report Question
0%
The image formed by a pinhole camera is inverted because light travels in a straight line.
0%
Light does not change its direction on reflection.
0%
As we move the object away from the light source, the shadow of the object becomes smaller.
0%
Reflection is possible only from polished surface.
Explanation
Solution:
b) We know, Light changes its direction after reflection, therefore this option is wrong.
c) As we move the object away from the light source, the shadow becomes larger as the distance between the object and the light source increases.
d) Reflection is possible from a rough surface (eg. wall, road) that is the reason why we can see those objects therefore this option is false
The pinhole camera produces an inverted image because light travels in a straight line, this statement is correct.

Report Question
0%
The twigs and branches of trees
0%
The trunk of leafless trees
0%
The gaps between the leaves
0%
The shadow of birds sitting on the trees
Explanation
The elliptical splashes of sunlight on the ground under a tree is called pinhole images, the source of the light is the sun, the dry porous leaves and the gaps between the leaves acts as the screen, and the phenomenon is known as diffraction of lights.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of pinhole camera ?
Report Question
0%
It produces an inverted image
0%
It works on the principle of rectilinear motion of light
0%
It is inexpensive to make
0%
The image produced is black and white
Explanation
Pinhole camera
- image formed is inverted (upside down) as compared to the object.
- image formed is real (because it can be formed on a screen) and of
the same colour as the object.
- Image can be smaller than the object, equal to the object or bigger than the object (depending on the distance of object from the pinhole camera).
- Is inexpensive to make
- works on the principle of rectilinear motion of light

Wood is an example of an opaque object.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
Objects that do not allow any light to pass through them are known as opaque materials.
Wood is an example of an opaque object.
State whether the statement is true or false:
You can clearly see through a blue-tinted drinking glass.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
Blue tinted glass is a translucent object. Light partially passes through it. The Light doesn't pass directly through transluscent materials.
Shadows are formed because:

0%
Opaque bodies allow the light to pass through them
0%
Light can bend around the opaque bodies
0%
Light rays cannot pass through the opaque bodies
0%
Light shows the phenomenon of diffraction around large objects
Explanation
Shadows are formed because light travels in straight lines. When an opaque object or material is placed in the path of the rays of light, the object blocks the light to pass through it, forming its shadow.
Transparent objects:

Explanation
Air is not visible because it neither absorbs nor reflects light, it transmits whole of light. Dust particles in air is visible as they reflect light. Air is an almost perfect transparent substance.

0%
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
0%
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
0%
Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Explanation
''A butter paper acts as a translucent medium of light ''. We know that butter paper, also known as packing paper, allows light to pass through it partially. A partially see-through object is a translucent object.
Thus, both the assertion and the reason are true
and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
It is false that you can clearly see through opaque objects as objects which are seen through are transparent and object which does not allow any light to pass through it are opaque.

0%
Do not allow light to pass through them
0%
Allow light to pass through them
0%
Allow only a partial amount of light to pass through them
0%
Absorb all the light incident on them
Explanation
Translucent
objects allow transmitting and diffusing light so that objects
beyond cannot be seen clearly
that is they allow only a partial amount of light to pass through them.
Shadow moves with
Report Question
0%
The change in position of the object
0%
The change in position of the source of light
0%
The change in the distance between the object and the source of light
0%
All of the above
Explanation
A shadow is cast on the side of the object that is furthest from the light source. The proximity of the object creating the shadow to the light source determines the relative size of the shadow. As an object moves further from a light source, the shadow becomes smaller, and as an object moves closer, the shadow becomes larger. The angle of the light source determines the length of the shadow.
that's why all options are correct.
The length of the shadow will be longest when the
Report Question
0%
Angle between the source of light and the object is 45
0%
Source of light and the object are parallel to each other
0%
Source of light and the object are perpendicular to each other
0%
Angle between the source of light and the object is 60
Explanation
According to the law of reflection; the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore the angle of reflection would be $$90^o$$ when the angle of incidence is $$90^o$$. This will happen when the source of light is perpendicular to the object. Hence the longest image will be formed when the source of light and the object are perpendicular to each other.
Which of the following is a translucent?
