rectilinear propagation of light
0%
curvilinear propagation of light
0%
dispersion of light
0%
none of these
Explanation
Formation of shadows is due to phenomena of rectilinear propagation of light . Shadows are created when an object, animal or person blocks out a portion of a light source. Shadows form in the opposite direction of whatever is blocking that source.
State whether 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. When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through it, not all.

Incident ray is the ray of light striking a surface.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
The ray of light striking the surface is called incident ray and the one that reflects from the surface is called reflected ray. So the given statement is True.
Incident light falling on a surface is sent back into the same medium. This phenomenon is known as

Three sticks are placed in an open field as shown in figure. Which of the following sticks will form the shadow of equal length?

Only sticks (I) and (II)
0%
Only sticks (II) and (III)
0%
Only sticks (I) and (III)
0%
All sticks (I), (II) and (III).
Explanation
The length of the shadow changes according to the position of the source of light, i.e., the sun with respect to the object. When the sun is perpendicular to the object's length then the shadow will be equal in length.
You have to cast the shadow of your pencil on the wall with the help of candle in a dark room. How can you obtain a shadow smaller in size than the pencil?
[You cannot use mirrors or lenses and assume the candle to be a point source of light]
Report Question
0%
Keep the pencil close to the wall
0%
Bring the pencil closer to the candle
0%
Keep the pencil midway between the candle and the wall
0%
You cannot obtain a shadow smaller than the size of the pencil
Explanation
Let us understand size of shadows in different case using a toy and a point source of light, like a torch.
Large shadow will be formed when the toy is close to the light.
Smaller shadow will be formed when the toy is further from the light.
Tiny shadow will be formed when the toy is a long way from the light.
Thus, we can say the shadow of the pencil will be small in size when the pencil is taken away from the candle and close to the wall. Option A is correct.

(I) and (ll) are made of transparent materials and (III) is made of opaque material.
0%
(I) is made of transparent material, (II) is made of translucent material and (III) is made of opaque material.
0%
(I) is made of transparent material, (II) is made of opaque material and (III) is made of either transparent or opaque or translucent material.
0%
(I) and (II) are made of opaque material and (III) is made of transparent material.
Explanation
Transparent material allows light to pass through it and opaque object obstructs it.
The color of the shadow of Green ball is:

Green
Explanation
Shadow is a region where no light enters. Since a shadow region is devoid of any light rays, the colour of the shadow is always black irrespective of the colour of the object.
Thus, The color of the shadow of a green ball is black.
Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1: Rahul placed a colored plastic bottle in front of the beam of a torchlight. Then he placed a transparent sheet of the same size on the other side of the bottle. No shadow will form on the screen.
Statement 2: Translucent objects allow light to pass through them partially.
Report Question
0%
Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1
0%
Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1
0%
Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false
0%
Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true
Explanation
A colored plastic bottle is an opaque material. When a light beam is an incident on it, a shadow will form on the screen.
Light can easily pass through the transparent material.
The objects which allow light to pass through them partially are known as t
ranslucent objects.

In the pinhole camera, the light rays from the source are moving through the pinhole and incident on the white screen. This is due to :
Report Question

the property of light called "rectilinear propagation of light"
0%
the property of light called "interference of light"
0%
the property of light called "diffraction"
0%
the property of light called "dispersion"
Explanation
In a pinhole camera, the light rays pass through the small hole of the camera and incident on the white screen, kept on the other side of the source. This is possible because light travels in a straight line, which is known as the rectilinear propagation of light.
The reflection that occurs when a beam of light falls on a smooth surface is called irregular reflection.
Report Question

True
0%
False
Explanation
When all the parallel rays reflected from a plane surface are not parallel, the reflection is known as diffused or irregular reflection.
The reflection from a smooth surface like that of a mirror is called regular reflection.

None of these
Explanation
Translucent objects allow only a small part of light to pass through them.
Since the object was a translucent one, Abhishek could see only a part of the torch light, i.e. a faint glow.

Sun is visible two minutes before the actual sun rise.
0%
Green house effect caused by the radiation of the sun
Explanation
Reflection is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass, water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface. This is called specular reflection, and image of sun becomes visible on the surface of water.
Which stick is likely to form the $$SHORTEST$$ shadow on the ground?
Report Question
0%
$$A$$
0%
$$B$$
0%
$$C$$
0%
$$D$$
Explanation
The shadow is formed when light falls at an angle to the stick and it is clear that light falling is completely parallel to stick $$B$$ so stick B will form almost no shadow on ground.

If we are able to see anything clearly through an object, then such an object is said to be a ________ object
Report Question
0%
Transparent
0%
Translucent
0%
Opaque
0%
None of these
Explanation
If we are able to see anything clearly through an object, then such an object is said to be a transparent object.
Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent. When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials.
An opaque object is something that allows no light through it. Concrete, wood, and metal are some examples of opaque materials. Some materials can be opaque to light, but not to other types of electromagnetic waves.
