7 IG Light chapter Question bank

Q1: Fill in the blanks.

1) Light is a form of energy
2) Light energy is in the form of electromagnetic radiation
3) Objects that emits light is called as luminous
4) Objects that does not emit light is called as non- luminous
5) Moon Is a non luminous body
6) Smaller straight lines of light is called as rays
7) Empedocles believe that we see things because our eyes send out rays which touch object
8) Christian Huygens put forward a wave theory of light
9) Through Young’s experiment we see the bands of light and darkness on the screen
10) In Young’s experiment we see the brightest were the Crest of the light waves met together
11) Youngs experiment we see the darkest band where the troughs of the waves cancelled out
the crests
12) A region without light is called shadow
13) If the light sources close to the object it makes a bigger shadow than if it is further away
14) Small light source gives a sharp shadow
15) thee real images are produced on the cinema screen by biconvex lenses
16) The bending of the light ray is called as refraction
17) When the light moves from rarer medium to denser medium it bends towards the normal
18) When the light moves from denser medium to rarer medium it bends away from the normal
19) When Light enters in denser medium it speed decreases
20) When light enters in rare medium its speed increases
21) Rainbow is formed from the two phenomenon one is refraction and another is total internal
reflection
22) Red green and blue are called primary colours of light
23) The impulse is conveyed to the brain through our eyes through optic nerve
24) Paint contains tiny particles called the pigment.

Q2: Answer the following questions.

1) How are light rays formed ?
2) Write the theory of Christian Huygens.

6) Define the terms below –
• Incident ray
• Reflected ray
• Refracted ray
• Normal
• Angle of incidence
• Angle of reflection
• Angle of refraction
 • Refraction
• Image
7) How light rays behaves with the object having smooth surface? Draw it’s diagram.
8) How light rays behaves with the object having rough surface? Draw it’s diagram.
9) Differentiate between real image and virtual image.
10) When the speed of light changes?
11) State the laws of reflection.
12) What is prism?
13) What is spectrum?
14) What is dispersion of light?
15) How is rainbow formed? Draw it’s diagram
16) What is the use of colour filter?
17) When does secondary colour produce?
18) Write a note on paint?
19) How we detect light through eyes?
20) Draw the structure of right eye.
21) Why the sky appears blue during day?
22) Why the sky appears reddish/ yellowish orange during sunset?
23) What are the characteristics of plane mirror?

Ans.(i) Plane mirror forms an erect image. (ii) It forms a virtual image. (iii) Size of the image is same
as that of the object. (iv)Image is formed at the same distance behind the mirror as the object stands in
front of it. (v) Image formed is a laterally inverted image i.e., right hand side of the object seems to be
the left hand side and vice-versa.

24) What is lens?

Ans: A transparent material which is bounded by both or one spherical surface is known as a lens.

Q3: Match the column

Direct Answer given below ⬇️

Q4: Distinguish between

Concave mirror Concave lens

It is opaque. It is transparent
It causes reflection of light. It causes refraction of light
It forms real, inverted, erect and It forms only virtual, erect and diminished
magnified image image

Convex mirror Convex lens

It is opaque
It causes reflection of light.
It forms only virtual, erect and
diminished image
It is transparent
It causes refraction of light.
It forms real, inverted,
virtual, erect and magnified
image

Convex mirror Concave mirror

The reflecting surface of the convex mirror The reflecting surface of the concave
is bulged outwards mirror is curved inwards
Convex mirror produce virtual, image Concave mirror forms either real or
virtual image
Convex mirror always produce diminished Concave mirror produce either
image diminished or magnified image
It is also known as diverging mirror It is also known as converging mirror.

7) Democritus believed that objects were made of atoms : True
8) A small light source gives a blur shadow : False
9) If a light source is close to the object it makes a bigger shadow than if it is further away : True
10) The reflection of light does not depend on the surface : False
11) Light ray is refracted if the incident ray is not at 90° to the surface of the transparent material :
True
12) Angle of incidence, normal and angle of refraction are in same plane : False
13) The light waves with the shortest wavelengths are slow : True
14) A real image can be formed on a screen but a virtual image cannot : True
