GR 7 - LIGHT - ANSWER KEY

This document contains a science revision worksheet with answer key on the topic of light for 8th grade students. It includes multiple choice and short answer questions testing concepts such as image formation by mirrors and lenses, reflection of light, refraction, dispersion, and properties of light. Real images can be obtained on a screen from concave mirrors and convex lenses, while virtual images cannot. A plane mirror forms an erect, laterally inverted image of the same size as the object.

Topic: CH:11: Light Learning Facilitator: Anita S

I. Choose the correct answer.

1. Which of the following can be used to form a real image?


(a) Concave mirror only. (b) Plane mirror only.
(c) Convex mirror only. (d) Both concave and convex mirrors
2. An erect and enlarged image can be formed by
(a) only a concave mirror (b) only a convex mirror
(c) only a plane mirror (d) both concave and convex mirrors
3. The coloured band of light obtained by the dispersion of light is called
(a) image (b) spectrum
(c) convergence (d) scattering
4. A diverging mirror is
(a) a plane mirror (b) a convex mirror
(c) a concave mirror (d) a shaving mirror

5. The splitting up of white light into seven colours on passing through a glass prism is called
(a) refraction (b) deflection
(c) dispersion (d) scattering

6. Latha is observing her image in a plane mirror. The distance between the mirror and her is 6m.
If she moves 2m towards the mirror, then the distance between Latha and her image will be

(a) 8m (b) 4m (c) 10m (d) 5

7. When light bounces off a surface, the surface is


(a) transparent (b) reflector
(c) opaque (d) transluscent

8. Concave lens is also known as


(a) converging lens (b) diverging lens
(c) bifocal length (d) biconcave lens
9. The mirror used as a shaving mirror
(a) Plane mirror (b) concave mirror
(c) Convex mirror (d) spherical mirror
10. Lenses are widely used in
(a) spectacles (b) telescopes
(c) microscope (d) all of these

II. Very Short Answer Type Questions.

11. What makes things visible to us?


Ans. Objects are visible only when light reflected from them reaches our eyes.

12. Observe the given figures carefully.

The given figures show the path of light through lenses of two different types represented by
rectangular boxes A and B. What is the nature of lenses A and B?
Ans. In the first case, light rays are converging towards a point, so lens A will be convex, and in the
case of lens B, light rays diverge or spread out. So, the lens will be concave.

13. Can you get a real image at any distance of the object from the convex mirror?
Ans. No, we cannot get a real image for any position of an object from the mirror because a convex
mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image despite the position of the object.

14. Give the form of energy that produces the sensation of vision.
Ans. Light energy is the form of energy which produces the sensation of vision.

15. What type of mirror is used as a side mirror in a scooter? Why is this type of mirror chosen?
Ans. Convex mirror is used as a side mirror in a scooter because it can form images of objects
spread over a larger area. So, this helps the driver to view the traffic over a large area behind
them.

16. An erect and enlarged image of an object is formed on a screen. Explain how this could be
possible.
Ans. An erect and enlarged image of an object is formed only by the concave mirror or convex lens.

17. Mention the type of image


(a) which can be formed on the screen.
(b) which cannot be formed on the screen.

Ans.(a) The image which can be formed on the screen is a real image.
(b) The image which cannot be formed on the screen is virtual.

18. What are the laws of reflection?


Ans. The two laws of reflection are:
 Angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
 Incident reflected ray & the normal lie on the same plane.
III. Long Answer Type Questions.

19. Differentiate between real & and virtual images.


Ans. A real image can be obtained on a screen Image e.g.- Plane Mirror. But virtual images cannot
be obtained on a screen e.g. – Pinhole Camera, Photograph Camera.

20. State the characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror.


Ans. Characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror:
 Image is Virtual
 It is behind the mirror
 Image is erect (means not inverted)
 Image is of the same size as the object
 Image is at the same distance from the mirror as the object is from the mirror.

21. Draw a real image formation by a concave mirror. Give two uses of
Ans.

Doctors use concave mirrors for examining eyes, ears, nose and throat. Concave mirrors are
also used by dentists to see an enlarged image of the teeth. The reflectors of torches,
headlights of cars, and scooters are concave in shape.
22. Explain that light has the property of rectilinear propagation.
Ans. We take three pieces of cardboard. Place them on top of one another and make a hole in the
middle of each cardboard by using a thick nail. Erect these cards up on the table at a short
distance away from each other. Take a candle that is of the same height as the holes in the
cards. Light the candle and place it in front of the cards. We see that the light of a candle is
visible only when the holes on the cards lie in a straight line. If we disturb them the light of
the candle disappears. This experiment shows that light propagates in a straight line.
23. Look at the picture given. What does it represent? Explain the phenomena briefly.
When an image is formed by the mirror in such a
way that the left side of the image is the object’s
right side and the right side of the image is the
object’s left side. So, this process of change in the
sides of the object as well as of the image is known
as lateral inversion.
