c. Cornea d. Iris
4. A person went for a medical check-up and found that the curvature of his eye lens is increasing.
Which defects is he likely to suffer from?
a. myopia
b. cataract
C. presbyopia
d. hypermetropia
5. A person gets out in the sunlight from a dark room. How does his pupil regulate and control the
light entering in the eye?
(a) The size of pupil will decrease, and less light will enter the eye
(b) The size of pupil will decrease, and more light will enter the eye
() The size of pupil will remain the same, but more light will enter the eye
(d) The size of pupil will remain the same, but less light will enter the eye
6. The danger signals installed at the top of tall buildings are red in colour. These can be easily seen froma
distance because among all other colours, the red light
2
(a) is scattered the most by smoke or fog
7. The splitting of white light into different colours on passing through a prism is called
(a) Reflection
(b) Refraction
(c) Dispersion
(d) Deviation
8. The image shows the dispersion of the white light in the prism.

9. In which of the following cases will no
dispersion take place when sunlight passes through it?
3
wavelength of light. When light from sun enters the earth's atmosphere, it gets scattered
by the dust particles and air molecules present in the atmosphere. The path of sunlight
entering in the dark room through a fine hole is seen because of scattering of the sun light
by the dust particles present in its path inside the room.
19. At the time of sunrise and sunset, the light from sun has to travel.
(a) longest distance of atmosphere
(b) shortest distance of atmosphere
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) can't say
20. The colour of sky appears blue, it is due to the
(a) refraction of light through the atmosphere
(b) dispersion of light by air molecules
() scattering of light by air molecules
(d) all of these.
21. The danger signs made red in colour, because
(a) the red light can be seen from farthest distance
(b) both (a) and (b)
c) the
scattering of red light is least
(d) none of these
SHORT QUESTIONS
22. Is the position of a star as seen by us its true position? Justify your answer.
23. Why do we see a rainbow in the sky only after rainfal?
24. Explain the phenomenon of dispersion of white light through a glass prism, using suitable 4
ray diagram.
25. A student is not able to see clearly the questions written on the blackboard placed at a
distance of 5 m from him.Name the defect of vision he is suffering from. With the help of
the labelled diagram explain in brief how this defect can be corrected? (CBSE 2017)
26. What is Presbyopia? State the cause of presbyopia. How is presbyopia of a person
corrected?(CBSE 2011,2016)
27. State the cause of dispersion of white light by glass prism. How did Newton, using two identical
glass prisms show that white light is made of seven colours? Draw a ray diagram to show the
path of a narow beam of white light, through combination of two identical prisms (where one of
the prism is in an inverted position with respect to the other), when it is allowed to fall obliquely
on one of the face of the first prism of the combination(CBSE 2016).
LONGANSWER QUESTIONS
28. (a) A student is unable to see clearly the words written on the black board placed at a
State the possible causes of this defect and explain the method of correcting it.
(b) Why do stars twinkle? Explain. (CBSE 2017-18)
29. A person suffering from an eyesight defect has a far point at 40 cm and a near the point at 25 cm.
The person uses a lens to see far away object. Find the near point of the person while wearing this
lens.
