8.Read the following and answer any 4 questions out of 5.
Light is a form of energy which induces sensation of vision to our eyes. It becomes visible
when it bounces off on surfaces and hits our eyes. The phenomenon of bouncing back of light
rays in the same medium on striking a smooth surface is called reflection of light.
If parallel beam of incident rays remains parallel even after reflection and goes only in one
direction is known as regular reflection. It takes place mostly in plane mirrors or highly
polished metal surfaces.
The mirror outside the driver side of a vehicle is usually spherical mirror and printed on such
a mirror is usually the warning “vehicles in this mirror are closer than they appear.”
i) Which type of mirror is used outside the driver’s side of a vehice?
(a) plane mirror (b) Concave mirror (c ) Convex mirror (d) either plane or convex
ii) No matter how far you stand from a mirror ,your image appers erect.
The mirror will be
(a) plane (b) Concave (c ) Convex (d) magic
iii) Which of the following diagrams represents the image formation in above case?
(a) I (b) ii (c ) iii (d) iv
iv) If an object is placed at 10cm from a convex mirror of radius of curvature 60cm, then find
the position of image.
(a)4cm (b)7.5cm (c ) 10cm (d) 12.5cm
v) The focal length of mirror is 12cm. the radius of curvature is
(a)12cm (b)24cm (c )20cm (d)36cm
9.Read the following and answer questions from (i) to (iv)
The phenomenon of splitting of white light into its constituent colours, when it passes
through a prism is called dispersion.
This band of seven colours so obtained, the VIBGYOR(V = violet, I = indigo, B = blue, G =
green, Y = yellow, O = orange and R = red) is called spectrum.
Issac Newton was the first one to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of light.
