[Total = 2 × 10 = 20 marks]

(2) Mark 'true' (T) or 'false' (F).

(i) Light is important to us. [­­­­­­]
(ii) Sources of light do not emit light on their own. [­­­­­­]
(iii) A torch bulb has a hot filament, so it is not a source of light. [­­­­­­]
(iv) Non­luminous objects do not reflect light. [­­­­­­]
(v) The area where there is a shadow is darker because less
light is reaching it. [­­­­­­]
(vi) Clear glass does not transmit light. [­­­­­­]
(vii) The picture you see in a mirror is called the object. [­­­­­­]
(viii) Shadows change size according to the Sun’s position in the sky. [­­­­­­]
