incidence and angle of refraction, respectively?
A A and D B B and E C C and F D D and F

ASSERTION- REASONING
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled
Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c)
and (d) as given below:
a. Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
b. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c. A is true, but R is false.
d. A is false, but R is true.
11 Assertion: There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular
glass slab.
Reason: Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white
light into its constituents colours.
12 Assertion: A beam of white light gives a spectrum on passing through a hollow
prism.
Reason: Speed of light outside the prism is different as the speed of light
inside the prism.
13 Assertion: Sun appears reddish in the morning. It will not be observed on
moon.
Reason: It is because moon does not have atmosphere, therefore, light will
not scatter.
14 Assertion: The molecules of air and fine particles of atmosphere have size
smaller than wavelength of visible light.
Reason: Blue light is scattered more than red light because red light has higher
wavelength than blue light.

TWO MARKS QUESTIONS
21 When we enter a dim-lit room from a bright light, we are not able to see the
object in the room for some time. Explain, why?
22 How is a normal eye able to see distinctly distant as well as nearer objects? What

a ray diagram, show (i) the eye defect hypermetropia, (ii) correction of
hypermetropia by using a lens.
27 Write different parts of eye and explain their functions. Also explain, how an
image of an object is formed on the retina of eye.
28 What is short-sightedness? List two causes for development of short-
sightedness. Describe with a ray diagram, how this defect may be corrected using
spectacles.
CASE STUDY
29 The spreading of light by the air molecules is called scattering of light. The light
having least wavelength scatters more. The sun appears red at sunrise and
sunset, appearance of blue sky it is due to the scattering of light. The colour of
the scattered light depends on the size of particles. The smaller the molecules in
the atmosphere scatter smaller wavelengths of tight. The amount of scattering of
light depends on the 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.
i. What is the colour of earth appears to an astronaut in a spaceship?
ii. Why the colour of sky appears blue?
iii. Which colour scattered at the time of sunrise and sunset?
[Link] danger signs made red in colour?
Questions for competitive exams/Olympiads
30. When white light passes through a glass prism, it splits into its constituent
colors. This phenomenon is called dispersion. Which of the following
statements accurately explains why this occurs?
A Each color has the same velocity in the prism.
B Different colors of light have different wavelengths, and the refractive index of
the prism material is different for each wavelength.
C The prism material has high density.
D Scattering of light.
31. A person enters a dimly lit room after being in bright sunlight. They
experience difficulty seeing clearly for a short period. This is because:
A The pupil size will expand, allowing more light to enter the eye.
B The pupil size will decrease, and more light will enter the eye.
C The pupil size will decrease, and less light will enter the eye.
D The pupil size remains the same, but the light entering the eye changes.
32. Cornea is a transparent spherical structure which
A Reflects light B Scatters light C Refracts light D None of these.
