Circle the correct response. Circle T if the statement is true, and F if it is false.

1. Light is not a form of energy. T F


2. Light travels sometimes in straight lines and sometimes along curves. T F
3. A beam of light is made up of lots and lots of rays of light. T F
4. Lightning and thunder starts at the same time, but lightening arrives before thunder
because sound travels faster than light. T F
5. The speed of light is 300 million metres per second. T F
6. Luminous objects produce and emit their own light. T F
7. Examples of luminous objects are pencil and rubber. T F
8. Sun is luminous. T F
9. Below is a diagram of a pinhole camera. It works because light travels in straight lines. T F

10. An object that blocks light is transparent. T F


11. A shadow is formed by objects blocking light. T F
12. We see things from the light that is reflected off them. T F
13. A shiny, perfectly flat surface reflects light regularly, and uneven surfaces reflect diffusely. T F
14. Light may be transmitted through an object, or absorbed by it. T F
15. A black object looks black because it absorbs all light that falls on it, and no light from it reaches
the eye to cause any sensation. T F
16. An object that absorbs light might become very slightly warmer. T F
17. A ray box is used to obtain beams of light, using slits. T F
18. A mirror reflects light. The ray which strikes the mirror is called the reflected ray. T F
19. The line drawn perpendicular to the plane is called the abnormal. T F
20. When light is reflected, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. T F
21. When light hits a transparent medium like glass at right angles to the surface,
it goes right through without changing direction. T F
22. When a ray of light strikes a glass block at an angle not 900, it bends, i.e changes direction. T F
23. Refraction is another word for change in direction when light crosses different media T F
24. The angle between the incident ray, and the line perpendicular to the surface (normal)
is called the angle of incidence. (i) T F
25. When a ray of light enters a transparent medium from air, it refracts away from the normal. T F
26. When white light passes through a triangular prism, it gets dispersed into seven colours. T F
27. The colours seen in a rainbow are also the colours of the spectrum of white light. T F
28. VIBGYOR or ROY G BIV are mnemonics for rainbow colours. T F
29. The seven colours of the spectrum may rejoin and make white light. T F
30. A red colour filter allows only red light through it if it is held against while light. T F
31. The primary colors of light are Red Blue and Green. T F
32. Magenta is a mix of green and red. T F
33. Magenta Yellow and Cyan are secondary colours. T F
34. A red jacket looks red because it reflects only red light and absorbs all others. T F
