Human Eye and the Colourful World


Q1) The danger signals installed at the top of tall buildings are red in colour. These can
be easily seen from a distance because among all other colours, the red light
(a) is scattered the most by smoke or fog
(b) is scattered the least by smoke or fog
(c) is absorbed the most by smoke or fog
(d) moves fastest in air
Q2) Which of the following phenomena of light are involved in the formation of a
rainbow?
(a) Reflection, refraction and dispersion
(b) Refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection
(c) Refraction, dispersion and internal reflection
(d) Dispersion, scattering and total internal reflection
Q3) The splitting of white light into different colours on passing through a prism is called
(a) reflection
(b) refraction
(c) dispersion
(d) deviation
Q4) The image shows a light ray incident on a glass prism.

The various angles are labeled in the image. Which angle shows the angle of incidence
and angle of refraction, respectively?
(a) A and D
(b) B and E
(c) C and F
(d) D and F
Q5) The deflection of light by minute particles and molecules of the atmosphere in all
directions is called ____________ of light.
(a) dispersion
(b) scattering
(c) interference
(d) tyndall effect
Q6) Which of the following phenomena contributes significantly to the reddish
appearance of the sun at sunrise or sunset?
(a) Dispersion of light
(b) Scattering of light
(c) Total internal reflection of light
(d) Reflection of light from the earth
Q7) Why do stars appear to twinkle at night?
(a) because the light of stars travels in different medium
(b) because the distance of star varies when earth rotates
(c) because the star changes its position relative to earth
(d) because the atmosphere reflects the light at different angles

Q8) When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is
due to
(a) different refractive index for different wavelength of each colour
(b) each colour has the same velocity in the prism.
(c) prism material has high density.
(d) Scattering of light
Q9) When white light enters a glass prism from air, the angle of deviation is least for
(a) blue light
(b) yellow light
(c) violet light
(d) red light
Q10) Which option justifies that the Sun appears red at sunrise and sunset?
(a) red scatters highest by the atmosphere
(b) the distance between the sun and earth reduces
(c) red has high wavelength, so it travels longer distance
(d) the white light disperses into seven colours, only red enters the atmosphere
Q11) At noon the sun appears white as
(a) light is least scattered
(b) all the colours of the white light are scattered away
(c) blue colour is scattered the most
(d) red colour is scattered the most
Q12) Twinkling of stars is due to atmospheric
(a) dispersion of light by water droplets
(b) refraction of light by different layers of varying refractive indices
(c) scattering of light by dust particles
(d) internal reflection of light by clouds.
Q13) The image shows the dispersion of the white light in the prism.

Q14) Which image shows the deviation of light in a prism?

Q15) One cannot see through the fog because


(a) Refractive Index of the fog is very high
(b) Light suffers total reflection at droplets
(c) Fog absorbs light.
(d) Light is scattered by the droplets.
