1 Heading 'Light, Shadows and Reflection: Doubt Session'
2 Ans: Objects that allow light to completely pass through themselves are
called transparent objects; objects that allow light to partially pass through
themselves are called translucent objects, while objects that do not allow
light to pass through themselves are called opaque objects. So, we have

Transparent: Window pane, Glass of water

Translucent: Waxed paper, Frosted glass
Opaque: Book, Wooden board.
3 Ans:
The position of the Sun will be in the direction opposite to that of the
shadow. Hence, the probable position of the Sun is toward the east.
The correct answer is (c)

4 Ans:

5 Ans:
Light travels only in a straight path. Although light enters each of the given
pipes, it will emerge only from the straight pipe, i.e., pipe II.
The correct answer is (b).
Why alternatives A, C and D are wrong:
The pipes labelled I, III, and IV are curved. Since light cannot travel in a
curved path, it will not emerge from any of these pipes.
6 Ans:
It is evident that the image formed by the pin-hole camera is smaller in size
than the object’s size and it is upside down. The image formed is always
diminished and inverted.
The correct answer is (d)

7 Ans:
Surface S is a shiny surface that can reflect all the rays of light incident on it.
This is the reason why Ria can see his image cast on the given surface S.

The correct answer is A.

Why alternatives B, C and D are wrong:
A shiny surface does not bend (refract) light. Images are formed by a shiny
surface because of the reflection of light from that surface. Images cannot be
formed because of absorption or transmission of light.
8 Ans:
Light emitting Light reflecting
Sun Moon
Fire Diamond
Firefly Mirror
Bulb
Star
9 Ans:
A mirror is attached to the ceiling here. Any object can be seen only if the
light rays from a source get reflected from that object and reach the eyes.
Eric can see Jacob only when the light from the bulb is first incident on
Jacob, which is then reflected by the mirror onto Eric’s eyes as shown here
10 Ans:
The image formed by a plane mirror is of the same size and upright.
However, the right appears left and the left appears right in the mirror.
Hence, the word printed on the T-shirt will appear in the mirror as given in
alternative C.
The correct answer is (c).
11 Ans:
We know that image distance from a plane mirror is equal to object distance.
The distance of Ted from the mirror is half the distance between Ted and his
image, i.e.
100/2 = 50 cm
Hence, the distance of Roy from the mirror is 3 x 50=150 cm,
the distance between Joy and the mirror is 3 x 150 = 450 cm
If the mirror is moved 50 cm back from its original, then the distance of Joy
from the mirror will be 450 + 50 cm = 500 cm = 5 m, then the distance
between Joy and his image will be two times i.e. 2 x 5 = 10 m
12 Ans:
The shape given in option d cannot be the shadow of the given object.
13 Ans:

Shadows are formed in a region devoid of light. When light coming from a
source is obstructed by opaque objects (such as roses), then shadows are
formed on a screen. Since shadows are regions that are devoid of light,
shadows are always black in colour. Hence, shadows of both roses will be
black.

The correct answer is (c).
