1. Match the following.

a) A region where no light falls i) image

b) What you see when you look in a mirror ii) Non-luminous
c) A piece of coloured plastic or glass iii) dispersion
d) Red, green and blue iv) Light source
e) Splitting up of white light into separate colours v) reflect
f) The change of direction of a light ray vi) filter
g) the light may be absorbed by the object vii) shadow
h) an object that emits its own light viii) refraction
i) an object which is not a source of light ix) opaque
j) the light may bounce off the object x) Primary colours

2. Choose the correct word.

a) When two or more colours of light are mixed together, this is
called (colour subtraction, colour addition, primary colours).
b) A red filter absorbs yellow, green, blue, indigo and (red, violet,
orange).
c) White light is a (mixture, compound, original) of all the
different colours of the spectrum.
d) (The incident ray, The normal, The reflected ray) is drawn at
90° to the surface.
e) A light ray bends (towards the normal, away from the normal,
on the normal) when it passes from air into a transparent
material.
f) A sheet of paper has a (smooth, shiny, rough) surface.
g) By the law of (refraction, reflection, diffraction), the angle of
incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
 h) A shdow forms when light from a light source is blocked by (a
transparent, an opaque, a transmitted) object.
i) We see non-luminous objects because they (absorb, reflect,
refract) light to our eyes.
j) A ray is a (straight, bend, refracted) line which shows the path
of light.
3. Draw.
a) Draw diagram shows paths of rays.
b) Draw diagram shows one way to understand forming a shade.
c) Draw a fully labelled diagram showing the law of reflection of
light.
d) Draw a fully labelled diagram showing the refraction of light.
e) Draw a green filter including absorbed and reflected colours.
4. Answer the questions.
a) What are called primary colours?
b) What is meant by colour subtraction?
c) What is the function of filter?
d) What is called dispersion?
e) What are the colours of spectrum?
f) What is called refraction?
g) What is incident ray?
h) What is reflected ray?
i) What is normal(line)?
j) Write down the three different things that happen when light
strikes an object.
