When we look at the sky in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the sun rays, the sky appears to be blue in colour.
Question 30.
Why street lights are designed to give yellow color light? (AS1)
Answer:
The sensitivity of human eye varies with frequency (colour) for the same brightness of different colours. Our eyes have maximum sensitivity (response) to yellow coiour so the street lights are yellow.
Question 31.
Why do a normal eye not able to see clearly the objects placed closer than 25 cm?
Answer:
The maximum accommodation of a normal eye Is at a distance of 25 cm from the eye. The focal length of the eye lens cannot be decreased below this. Thus an object placed closer than 25 cm cannot be seen clearly by a normal eye.
Question 32.
Have you seen a rainbow in the sky after rain? How it has formed?
(or)
In which conditions does a rainbow form? Why?
Answer:
- A rainbow Is a natural spectrum of sunlight in the form of bows appearing in the sky when the sun shines on raindrops after the rain.
- It is formed due to reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets present in the atmosphere.
Question 33.
Does rainbow form always opposite to sun? Why?
Answer:
Yes. A rainbow is always formed in the opposite direction of the sun. As the sun rays should fall on rain drops It happens so.
Question 34.
“To look at the twinkling of stars Is a wonderful experience”. How It’s happening?
Answer:
The continuously changing atmosphere (due to varying atmospheric temperature and density) refracts the light from the stars by varying amounts and in different directions from one moment to the next.
Question 35.
Write the reason for Sun appears red during the Sun-rise and Sun-set.
Answer:
Due to the high velocity (wavelength) of red right, It reaches our eye without undergoing any scattering. So, sun appears red during sunrise and sunset.
Question 36.
“Sky appears dark to passengers flying at very high altitudes” why?
Answer:
At very high altitudes, there is no atmosphere. So there is no scattering of light at such heights. So sky appears dark to passengers.
Question 37.
A short-sighted person may read a book without spectacles. Comment.
Answer:
The statement is true, because a short-sighted person has difficulty in observing far-off objects.
Question 38.
Why are danger signals red?
Answer:
Among the colours of visible light, red has more wavelength and least scattered. Thus, red colour can easily go through fog or mist or smoke without getting scattered. It can be seen from long distance. So red colour Is used in universal danger signal.
Question 39.
“Smoke coming out of coal-fired in chimney appears blue on a misty day”. Why?
Answer:
- On a misty day, the air has large amount of tiny particles of water droplets, dust and smoke.
- These tiny particles present In the air scatter blue colour of the white light passing through It.
- When this scattered blue light reaches our eyes the smoke appears blue.
Question 40.
Give two more examples, which appear blue on a misty day.
Answer:
- The long-distance hills covered with thick growth of trees appear blue.
- The smoke coming from a cigarette oran Incense stick (agarbatti) appears blue on a misty day.
Question 41.
“Motorist uses orange light on a foggy day rather than normal white light”. Why?
Answer:
- On a foggy day, the air has large amount of water droplets.
- If a motorist uses white light, the water droplets present in the air scatter large amount of the blue light.
- This on reaching our eyes decreases visibility and hence driving becomes extremely difficult.
- Whereas orange light has longer wavelength and hence it is least scattered.
Question 42.
Which coloured suits do rescue workers wear?
Answer:
Rescue workers wear orange coloured suits during any rescue operations.
Question 43.
Which colour is best for school buses?
Answer:
Orange or yellow colour is best for school buses.
Question 44.
What Is persistence of vision?
Answer:
The time for which the sensation of vision (of an object) continues in the eye is called persistence of vision. It is about 1/ 16th part of a second.
Question 45.
Why do some people can’t IdentIfy some colours?
Answer:
Rods identify the colours In the retina. If some rods are absent, the distinction of colours is not possible. In such cases, persons can’t identify some colours.
Question 46.
Write the reasons for colour blindness.
Answer:
- Absence of colour-responding rod cells in the retina.
- Due to genetic disorder.
Question 47.
Why does It take some times to see objects In a dim room when we enter the room from bright sunlight outside?
Answer:
In bright light the size of the pupil Is small to control the amount of light entering the eye. When we enter a dim room, it takes sometime so that the pupil expands and allows more light to enter and helps us to see things clearly.
Question 48.
Doctor advised to use 20 lens. What is the focal length of It?
Answer:
Given, power of lens (P) = 2D ⇒ f = ?
We know P = \(\frac{100}{f(\text { incm })} \Rightarrow 2=\frac{100}{f} \Rightarrow f=\frac{100}{2}\) = 50 cm
∴ Focal length of lens (f) = 50 cm
Question 49.

An eye camp was organised by the doctors in a village. What were the benefits to organise such camps iii rural areas?
Answer:
- To make people aware of eye diseases
- To suggest them to take proper and balanced diet that helps to keep their eyes healthy.
Question 56.
Will a star appear to twinkle if seen from free space?
Answer:
No, because there is no atmosphere In free space for refraction.
Question 51.
Write the relation between Intensity of scattered light (1) and wavelength (λ)?
Answer:
Light of short wavelength is scattered more than the light of long wavelength.
Question 52.
Why sky would have looked dark If the earth had no atmosphere?
Answer:
If the earth had no atmosphere, no particles are present either. Thus no scattering of light. Then, the sky appears dark.
Question 59.
What Is the essential condition for observing a rainbow? (AS1)
Answer:
- The sun must be on the backside of the observer.
- The sun rays should fall obliquely on raindrops.
Question 60.
Describe a triangular prism.
Answer:
- A prism is a transparent medium separated from the surrounding medium by at least two plane surfaces which are Inclined at a certain angle In such a way that, light incident on one of the plane surfaces emerges from the other plane surface.
- A triangular prism contains two triangular bases and three rectangular plane lateral surfaces. These lateral surfaces are Inclined to each other.
Question 61.
Define the following terms with respect to a prism.
(a) Incident ray
(b) Normal
(c) Angle of incidence
(d) Emergent ray
(e) Angle of emergence
(f) Angle of the prism
(g) Angle of deviation (d).
Answer:
(a) Let us consider that ΔPQR represents p outline of the prism where It rests on Its triangular base.
(b) Let us assume that a light ray is incident on the plane surface PQ of a prism at M. This ray is called incident ray. Draw a perpendicular to PQ at M. It becomes a normal to that surface.
(c) The angle between incident ray and normal Is called angle of Incidence (I).
(d) The ray Is refracted at M. It moves through prism and meets the other plane surface at N and finally comes out of the prism. The ray which comes out of the surface PR at N is called emergent ray.
(e) Draw a perpendicular to PR at point N. The angle between the emergent ray and normal Is called angle of emergence (i2).
(f) The angle between the plane surfaces PQ and PR Is called the angle of the prism or refracting angle of prism (A).
(g) The angle between the Incident ray and emergent ray formed by producing them backwards is called angle of deviation (d).
Question 62.
When a single colour ray has been sent through a prism, does It split into more colours? Why?
Answer:
We know that the frequency of light is the property of the source and it is equal to number of waves leaving the source per second. This cannot be changed by any medium. Hence frequency doesn’t change due to refraction. Thus coloured light passing through any transparent medium retains its colour.
Question 63.
What happens to the Image distance in the eye when we increase the distance of an object from the eye?
Answer:
In the eye, the image distance (distance between eye lens and retina) is fixed and cannot be changed. So when we Increase the distance of an object, there is no change in the image distance.
Question 64.
A rainbow viewed from an airplane may form a complete circle. Where will the shadow of the airplane appear? Explain.
Answer:
A rainbow viewed from an airplane forms a complete circle because the earth does not come along the way of the airplane and rainbow. A rainbow is a three-dimensional cone of dispersed light and it appears as a complete circle. The shadow of the airplane appears within the circle of the rainbow.
Question 65.
When a monochromatic light passes through a prism will it show dispersion?
Answer:
No, it will not show any dispersion but shows deviation.
Question 66.
Why do we use lenses In spectacles to correct defects of vision?
Answer:
The process of adjusting focal length ¡s called “accommodation’. This process has to be done by eye itself. Sometimes the eye may gradually lose its power of accommodation. In such condition, the person will not be able to see the object clearly and comfortably. In this situation, we have to use lenses In
spectacles to correct defects of vision.
Question 67.
What happens If the eye lens of a person cannot accommodate its focal length more than 2.4 cm?
Answer:
The person cannot be able to see the distant objects clearly.
2 Marks Questions
Question 1.
Kishore wore spectacles. When you saw through his specs the size of his eyes seemed bigger than their original size?
a) Which lens did he use?
b) Explain that defect of vision (with the help of a diagram)
Answer:
a) When we saw through Kishore’s expects the size of his eyes seemed bigger than their original size. This Is possible with convex lens only, because magnification of the lens is greater than ‘I’.
b) The defects he suffers Is hypermetropia. This also called as farsightedness. A person who suffers with this type of defect, he can’t see the object clearly which are placed near distance because the image formed beyond the retina. So by using convex lens the rays can be converged on retina.
Question 2.
Define the words associated with prism with the help of figure.
Answer:
- Angle of incidence The angle between incident ray and normal is called angle of incidence.
- Angle of emergence The angle between normal and emergent ray ts called angle of emergence.
- Normal: Perpendicular drawn to the surface of prism.
- Angle of deviation: The angle between extended incident ray and emergent ray is called angle of deviation.
Question 3.
Two observers standing apart from one another do not see the same” rainbow. Explain.
Answer:
- All the raindrops that disperse the light to form rainbow lie within a cone of semi vertical angle 400 to 420.
- If two observers are standing at a distance apart, they will observe different parts of rainbow on the surface of the cone.
- So the portion of the rainbow observed by an observer depends on the position of the observer.
- Two different observers will form two different cones with the observer standing at the vertex of the cone, therefore rainbow seen by them will be different.
Question 4.
How do we see colours?
Answer:
- The retina of human eye has a large number of receptors.
- These receptors are of two types i.e., rods and cones.
- The rod cells recognise the colour of light rays, while the cones Identify the intensity of light.
- It is these rod cells, which make It possible for a man to see different colours and distinguish between them.

Question 7.
A convex lens of power 4 D is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a wall. At what distance from the lens should a candle be placed so that its image Is formed on the wall?
Answer:
f = \(\frac{1}{P}=\frac{1}{4 D}=\frac{1}{4}\) m = 25 cm ; v = 40 cm; P = 4D; u = 40 cm.
∴ \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{25}=\frac{5-8}{200}=-\frac{3}{200} \)
∴ u = \(\frac{3}{200}\)
So candle should be placed at a distance of, \(\frac{200}{3}\) cm from the lens.
Question 8.
What happens, If Ciliary muscles do not perform contraction and expansion? Guess and write.
Answer:
1) If Cillary musdes do not perform contraction and expansion, focal length of eye lens do not change.
2) Human eye can see the objects at specific distance only, eye cannot see the object either nearer or far distance.
4 Marks Questions
Question 1.
Find the minimum and maximum focal lengths of the eye lens.
Answer:
1. When the object is at infinity, the parallel rays from the object failing on the eye lens are refracted and they form a point-sized image on the retina.
2. In this situation, eye lens has a maximum focal length.
3. When the object is at infinity,
u = – ∞ v = 2.5 cm (distance between eye lens and retina)
Using lens formula \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f_{\max }}=\frac{1}{2.5}+\frac{1}{\infty} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{f_{\max }}=\frac{1}{2.5}+0 \)
\(\frac{1}{f_{\max }}=\frac{1}{2.5} \)
∴ fmax = 2.5 cm
4. ConsIder that an object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from your eye.
5. In this situation eye has minimum focal length.
Here u=-25cm,v= 2.5 cm
Using Lens formula, \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\)
6. If the position of an object is between infinity and the point of least distance of distinct vision, then the eye lens adjusts its focal length in between 2.5 cm to 2.27 cm to form a clear ¡mage on the retina.
Question 2.
What is scattering? Explain how a light scatters.
Answer:
Scattering: The process of re-emission of absorbed light in al! directions with different intensities by atoms or molecules Is called scattering of light.
Process of scattering:
- Let us consider that the free atom or free molecule is somewhere In space.
- Light of certain frequency falls on that atom or molecule.
- This atom/molecule responds to light whenever the size of the atom/molecule is comparable to the wavelength of light.
- If this condition is satisfied, the atom absorbs light and vibrates.
- Due to this vibration, the atom re-emits a certain fraction of absorbed energy in all directions with different Intensities.
- The re-emitted light is called scattered light and the process or re-emission of light in all directions with different intensity is called scattering of light.
- The atoms/molecules are called scattering centre.
Question 3.
A prism causes dispersion of white light while a rectangular glass block does not. Explain.
Answer:
- In a prism the refraction of light at the two plane surfaces.
- The dispersion of white light occurs at the first surface of prism where Its constituent colours are deviated through different angles.
- At the second surface, these split colours suffer only refraction and they get ‘further separated.
- But in a rectangular glass block, the refraction of light takes place at the two parallel surfaces.
- At the first surface, although the white light splits into its constituent colours on refractions, but they split colours on suffering refraction at the second surface emerge out in the form of a parallel beam, which give an impression of white light.
Question 4.
Why white tight splits Into different colours when It passes through a prism?
Answer:
- The speed of light Is constant In vacuum for all colours, but It depends on the wavelength of light when It passes through a medium.
- We know refractive Index of a medium depends on wavelength of light.
- When white light passes through a medium, each colour selects Its least time path and we have refraction of different colours to different extents.
- This results in separation of colours, producing a spectrum.
- It has been experimentally found that refractive index decreases with an increase in wavelength.
- In VIBGYOR, red colour has longest wavelength and violet colour has shortest wavelength. The refractive index of red Is low, hence It suffers low deviation.

Question 11.
An eye specialist suggested a+2D lens to the person with defect in vision. Which kind of defect in vision does he have? Draw the diagrams to show the defect of vision and its correction with a suitable lens.
Answer:
He is suffering from Hypermetropia. The light from a distant object among at the eye-lens gets converged at a point behind the retina. This type of defect is called Hypermetropia. To correct this, we interpose a convex lens between the eye and the object.
Question 12.
How will you calculate the focal length of a biconvex lens that ¡s used to correct the defect of Hypermetropia? Explain it mathematically.
Answer:
1. To find the focal length of lens let us consider that the object is at the point of least distance of distinct vision (L)
2. Then the defect of vision, Hypermetropla, Is corrected when the image of the object at L is formed at the near point (H) by using a biconvex lens as shown In the fig.
3. The image acts like an object for the eye lens. Hence final image due to eye is formed at retina.
Here object distance (u) = – 25cm
Image distance (v) = Distance of near point = — d
Let ‘f be the focal length of bi-convex lens.
Using lens formula, \(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{V}-\frac{1}{u} \)
\(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{-d}+\frac{1}{25} \)
\(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{d-25}{25 d} \)
f = \(\frac{25 d}{d-25} \) (f Is measured In cm)
So, by determining the near point of a person with hypermetropia eye, we can calculate the focal length of the biconvex lens to be used to correct the defect.
Do You Know
Our beloved scientist and Nobel prize winner; Sir C.V. Raman explained the phenomenon of light scattering In gases and liquids. He found experimentally that the frequency of scattered light by the liquids Is greater than the frequency of incident light. This is called Raman Effect. By using this effect scientists determine the shapes of the molecules. (Page 102)
