1. Which of the following statements is correct regarding rods and cones in the human eye?

A-(b) Cones are sensitive to bright light.

2. We can see a non-luminous object when light:

A-(b) is reflected from the object towards our eye.

3. Which of the following statement is or are correct?

A-(d) All the above.

4. A light ray incident on mirror A at an angle of 25 degrees falls on mirror B after reflection. The
angle of reflection for the reflected ray from mirror B would be-

A-(a) 25 degrees.

5. The least distance of distinct vision for a young adult with normal vision is about:

A-(a) 25 cm

6. Assertion (A): An image formed by a mirror the left of the object appears on the right and the right

appears on left.

Reason (R): This is happened because of parallel inversion.

A-(c) A is true but R is false.

7. Assertion (A): The night bird owl can see very well in the night but not during the day.

Reason (R): The owl has a large cornea and a large pupil to allow more light in its eye. Also, it has on

its retina a large number of rods and only a few cones.

A-(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

8. The angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 100°. What is the value of angle of
incidence?

Answer:

∠i + ∠r = 100°

Since, ∠i = ∠r

∴ ∠i + ∠i = 100°

⇒ 2 ∠i = 100°

⇒ ∠i = 100/2 = 50

∴ Angle of incidence = 50°.

9. What is dispersion of light? Name a natural phenomenon which shows dispersion of light.

A-Dispersion of light is the splitting of white light into different colours. A rainbow is a natural
example. 🌈
10. How does eye adjust itself to deal with light of varying intensity?

Answer: The iris controls the amount of light entering into the eye by automatically adjusting the size
of the pupil according to the intensity of the light that the eye receives. If the amount of light is high,
the iris contracts the pupil and reduces the amount of light entering the eyes. If the amount of light
is less, the iris expands the pupil so that more light can enter the eye and the things can be viewed
clearly.

13. What is persistence of vision? Give an example.

A- Persistence of vision is the phenomenon where an image stays on the retina for a short time after
the object is removed. Example: Viewing continuous motion in films. 🎥

14. How many images of an object will be formed when the object is placed between two plane
mirrors which are inclined at the following angles to one another?

(a) 0° (b) 45°

A-The number of images formed by two plane mirrors inclined at an angle (θ) can be calculated using
the formula:

Number of images = (360° / θ) - 1,

(a) 0°: Infinite images will be formed since the mirrors are parallel.

(b) 45°: Number of images = (360° / 45°) - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 images.

15. Write the ways to protect your eyes.

Ans:

 If advised, use suitable spectacles.


 Too little or too much light is bad for eyes. Insufficient light causes eyestrain and headaches.
Too much light, like that of the sun, a powerful lamp or a laser torch can injure the retina.
 Do not look at the sun or a powerful light directly.
 Never rub your eyes. If particles of dust go into your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water. If
there is no improvement go to a doctor.
 Wash your eyes frequently with clean water.
 Always read at the normal distance for vision. Do not read by bringing your book too close to
your eyes or keeping it too far.
16. Write the functions of various parts of human eye.

 Iris – Iris controls the size of the pupil. The iris is the part of that eye which gives it its
distinctive colour.
 Eye-lens – The lens focuses light on the back of the eye, on a layer called retina.
 Retina – Retina receives the light focused by the lens. Retina contains several nerve cells.
Sensations felt by the nerve cells are then transmitted to the brain.
 Optic nerve – The job of the optic nerve is to transfer visual information from the retina to
the brain.

17. There is a very interesting relation between the angle of incident and the angle of reflection. If
the experiment is carried out carefully, it is seen that the angle of incidence is always equal to the
angle of reflection. This is one of the laws of reflection. The incident ray, the normal at the point of
incidence, and the reflected ray all lie in the same plane.

A.) What are the angle of incident and angle of reflection?

B.) What is the relation between the angle of incidence and angel of reflection?

C.) Write down the laws of reflections.

Answer:

A.) The angle made by the incident ray and the normal of the reflective surface is called the angle of

incidence. The angle made by the reflected ray and the normal of the reflective surface is called the
angle of

reflection.

B.) The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are always equal to each other.

C.) The laws of reflections are given below.

First law of reflection:

The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the reflective surface at the point of incidence

always lie in the same plane.

Second law of reflection:

The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are always equal to each other.
