LIGHT
The world is largely known through the senses. The sense of sight is one of the most important senses.
Through it we see mountains, rivers, trees, plants, chairs, people and so many other things around us. At
night we see the stars and moon. But how is seeing made possible? What makes things visible? You may
say that eyes see the objects. But, can you see an object in the dark? It means that eyes alone cannot see any
object. It is only when light from an object that enters our eyes we see the object. The light may have been
emitted by the object, or may have been reflected by it. A mirror changes the direction of light that falls on
it. Can you tell in which direction the light falling on a surface will be reflected?
Let us find out with the help of an activity:

• Fix a white sheet of paper on a drawing board or a table. Take a comb and close all the opening except
one in the middle. You can use a strip
of black paper for this purpose.
• Hold the comb perpendicular to the sheet of
paper. Throw light from a torch through the
opening of the comb from one side. With
slight adjustment of the torch and the comb
you will see a ray of light along the paper on
the other side of the comb.
• Keep the comb and the torch steady. Place a strip of plane mirror in the path of the light ray. What do
you observe? After striking the mirror, the ray of light is reflected in another direction.

Incidence Ray :The light ray which strikes any surface is called incidence Ray
Reflected ray: The ray which come back from the surface after reflection
is known as reflected ray.
Normal: A line making an angle of 90 degree with the object surface at a
point where the incidence ray strikes the mirror is known as the
normal . The line is known as normal to the reflecting surface that point

Angle of incidence(i):The angle between the normal and the incident ray is called angle of incidence.
Angle of reflection(r):Angle between the normal and reflected ray is known as angle of reflection.
Now check yourself:
Q1.Suppose you are in a dark room, can you see objects in the room ? Can you see objects outside the
room. Explain.
Q2.What would happen if you threw the light on
the mirror along its normal.
Q3.Label the given diagram of reflection of light:
Q4.What is reflection of light?
Q5.Can we see an object if a incident ray of light
that strikes its surface is not reflected back? Why?

Ch.-5 When People Rebel: 1857 and after
Years after rebellion-
The British had regained control of the country by the end half of 1859 but they could not carry on ruling
the land with the same policies any more. Given below are the important changes that were introduced by
the British-
➢ The British Parliament passed a new act in 1858 and transferred the powers of the East India
Company to the British crown. A member of the British cabinet was appointed secretary of state
for India and made responsible for all matters related to the governance of India. He was given a
Council to advise him, called the India council.
➢ The Governor-General of India was given the title of Viceroy, that is, a personal representative of
the Crown. Through these measures the British government accepted direct responsibility for ruling
British controlled India.
➢ All ruling chiefs of the country were assured that their territory would never be annexed in future.
They were allowed to pass on their kingdoms to their heirs, including adopted sons. However, they
were made to acknowledge the British Queen as their Sovereign Paramount. Thus, the Indian rulers
were to hold their kingdoms as subordinates of the British crown.
➢ It was decided that the proportion of Indian soldiers in the army would be reduced and the
number of European soldiers would be increased. It was also decided that instead of recruiting
soldiers from Awadh, Bihar, Central India and South India, more soldiers would be recruited from
among the Gurkhas, Sikhs and Pathans.
➢ The land and property of Muslims was confiscated on a large scale and they were treated with
suspicion and hostility. The British believed that they were responsible for the rebellion in a big way.
➢ The British decided to respect the customary, religious and social practices of the people in India.
➢ Policies were made to protect landlords and zamindars and give them security of rights over their
lands.
Thus a new phase of history began after 1857.
Questions-
1) What changes were introduced by the British in the administrative system after the Revolt of 1857?
2) Why do you think Britishers have introduced these changes?
3) What were the new changes introduced in the army?
4) The consequences of the revolt of 1857 were far reaching and all encompassing.Comment.

Parallelogram and Its Properties.

Dear Students, By observing the given figure (Parallelogram), we find that its opposite sides and angles
are equal. What else relation do you see in this?Let's understand this with an activity.

Activity:- To find the sum of corresponding angles of a parallelogram

A D
Take a piece of paper of the given shape of a suitable size.
Name the figure according to the picture.
Cut ∠A and ∠B using a scissors and join these angles according
to the picture shown below the parallelogram. B C
We find that angle of 1800 is formed.
∠A + ∠B = 180º So, AD || BC

We can also find the sum of the pair of other corresponding angles.

A D
2) The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

ABCD is a parallelogram then AB||DC and AD|| BC

Join A to C get diagonal AC
B C
Consider in ABC and ADC
∠BAC = ∠ACD alternate angles as(AB||DC) Let's Do
∠ACB =∠CAD alternate angles as(AD|| BC) Q 1. One side of a parallelogram
AC = AC (common) is 20cm and its perimeter is 70
cm . find other side of
ABC ≅ ADC (by ASA congruency rule) parallelogram?
AB = DC and AD = BC (by CPCT)
∠B = ∠D Q 2. One angle of a
parallelogram is 80° find rest of
the three angles of the same?

3) )Diagonals of the parallelogram bisect Q 3. In the given figure ABCD

each other is a parallelogram and OA =5cm
ABCD is a parallelogram then AB||DC and and OB = 6cm .find the Length
AD|| BC of the diagonals AD and BC?
Consider AOD and BOC

AD = BC as sides of the same

∠OAD = ∠OCB alternate angle
∠ODA = ∠OBC alternate angle
AOD ≅ BOC ( ASA)
OA = OC and OD = OB (CPCT)
