The bouncing back of light from a shiny surface is called as ___________.
A  reflection
B  refraction
C  absorption
D  diffraction

Solution : A

The bouncing back of light from a shiny surface is called as reflection.

Reflection always follows certain laws called the laws of reflection. The
laws are as follows:
1. Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
2. The incident ray, normal and the reflected ray lie in the same plane.

When light rays are passed through a prism, the phenomenon that occurs is
known as ___________ of light.
A  reflection
B  diffraction
C  scattering
D  dispersion

Solution : D

When light rays are passed through a prism, the phenomenon that
happens is known as the dispersion of light. The splitting of
white light into its constituent colors is known as dispersion.

What colour of light is obtained when we mix beams of light of all colour?
A  White
B  Blue
C  Green
D  Black

Solution : A

When white light is passed through a prism, it splits into seven different
colours namely, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. If we
do the reverse, that is mix the beams of light of all colour, white light is
obtained.

Image formed by a ____________ mirror is always of the same size as the
object.
A  plane
B  concave
C  convex
D  spherical

Solution : A

Image formed by a plane mirror is erect and always of the same size as
the object. The image formed by a convex mirror is upright but reduced
in size whereas in a concave mirror the size of image is not fixed.

5 Name the lens which is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges.  33 s

A  Prism
B  Concave
C  Convex
D  Plano convex

Solution : B

A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle. It

diverges an incident parallel beam of light.
A convex lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges. It
converges an incident parallel beam of light.

Convex mirror is also known as a divergent mirror.
A  True
B  False

Solution : A

A convex mirror is a divergent mirror and a concave mirror is a

convergent mirror. 
Convex mirrors are called diverging mirrors because they diverge rays
of light that hit them and form a virtual image.
Concave mirrors are called converging mirrors because
they bring incoming parallel rays together and cause these rays
to converge.

Concave mirror always forms a virtual image.
A  True
B  False

Solution : B

Convex mirror always forms a virtual image. A concave mirror can form
a real or a virtual image depending on the distance of the object and
the mirror.

We can obtain an enlarged and erect image with a convex mirror.
A  True
B  False

Solution : B

We cannot obtain an enlarged and erect image using a convex mirror.

The image obtained with a convex mirror is virtual, upright and
diminished in size.

A concave lens always forms a virtual image.
A  True
B  False
 Solution : A

A concave lens always forms a virtual image no matter where the

object is. A concave lens is a diverging lens. It causes light to spread
out, resulting in a smaller image for the viewer.

10 If the reflecting surface is curved outwards it is a convex mirror.  33 s

A  True
B  False

Solution : A

If the reflecting surface is curved outwards it is a convex mirror. A

convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image.
A convex mirror is a divergent mirror i.e it has wide field of view.
Hence, the convex mirror is used as a side-view mirror in
vehicles.
