For a total internal reflection, which of the following is correct?

  1. Light travel from rarer to denser medium.

  2. Light travel from denser to rarer medium.

  3. Light travels in air only.

  4. Light travels in water only.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The total internal reflection occurs when the ray of light is reflected totally into the same medium even without the presence of a mirror. The total internal reflection occurs when a ray of light travels from denser medium to rarer medium.

If the angle of incidence is $70^o$, then calculate the angle between the incidence ray and the reflected ray.

  1. $40^o$

  2. $140^o$

  3. $130^o$

  4. $110^o$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given $\angle i=70^o$
The angle between incident ray and the reflected ray $=2\angle i=140^o$

Which objects use the reflection of light?

  1. Sun glasses

  2. Periscope

  3. Mirror

  4. Side mirror of a car

Explanation:

Periscope, mirror, side mirror of a car use the reflection of light phenomenon.

An ideal mirror :

  1. Absorbs all the amount of light incident on it

  2. Refracts all the light

  3. Reflects all the light

  4. None of the above

Explanation:

An ideal mirror is defined as object having a reflecting surface so smooth that it reflect back all the light rays striking without any absorbance and emiittance.

Which of the following statement is/ are correct?
I. A person suffering from myopia can see distant obhects clearly.
II.. The bluish color of water in deep sea is only due to reflection of sky in water.
III. In vacuum, all the colored of the light move with the same speed.
IV. At noon, the sun appears white as light is least scattered

  1. I only

  2. II only

  3. I and II only

  4. III and IV only


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Myopia is the inability to see objects clearly when they're too far away. People with myopia can often read or see items within a few feet of their face, but distant objects appear blurred. This condition usually develops in an eyeball that's too long from front to back.

The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned.

The laws of reflection are true for

  1. the plane mirror only

  2. the concave mirror  and convex mirror

  3. the convex mirror only

  4. all reflecting surfaces

Shaving mirrors are

  1. convex mirrors

  2. concave mirrors

  3. plane mirrors

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Shaving mirrors are concave mirror, so that when you keep your face near to the focus of the mirror, you get a magnified image.

If a ray of light incident on a plane mirror is such that it makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the mirror, then the angle of reflection is

  1. $30^{\circ}$

  2. $45^{\circ}$

  4. $60^{\circ}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

if angle with the mirror = $30^o$ then angle with the normal = $90^o - 30^o$ = 60$^o$

hence ans. is D

Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$ \bf{Diffraction} $ is the phenomenon of bending of light waves around the corners of an obstacle or aperture, placed in the path of light beam. 

$ \bf{Reflection} $ is the phenomenon in which light rays on striking a polished surface(such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium. 

$\bf{Dispersion} $ is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its component colours (VIBGYOR) on passing through a glass prism.

$ \bf{Refraction} $ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.

  3. refraction

  4. regression


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$ \bf{Reflection} $ is the phenomenon in which light rays on striking a polished surface(such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium. 

A $\bf{Reflex\ action} $ is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus.
 

$ \bf{Refraction} $ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.

$ \bf{Regression} $ is a technique for determining the statistical relationship between two or more variables where a change in a dependent variable depends on the change in one or more independent variables.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION A. 

The bouncing of a beam of light from a polished surface in some other direction is called -

  1. refraction

  2. reflection

  3. dispersion

  4. scattering


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$ \bf{Refraction} $ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.

$ \bf{Reflection} $ is the phenomenon in which light rays on striking a polished surface(such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium. 

$\bf{Dispersion} $ is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its component colours (VIBGYOR) on passing through a glass prism.

$\bf{Scattering} $ is the phenomenon by which a beam of light is redirected or deflected in many different directions, when it passes through an imperfect medium, due to interaction with the particles of the medium.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B. 

According to the laws of reflection, angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence made by the incident ray with the normal must be equal to the angle of reflection made by the reflected ray with the normal i.e.  $i=r$. So, the given statement is true.

  2. Polished glass of red colour

  3. Glass covered with cellophane paper

  4. Smoked glass covered with green colour cloth.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Polished glass of red colour reflects some of the light incident on it so images of the both persons are formed on it.

Reflection is

  1. Bending of ray of light.

The locus of a point which moves so that its distance from x-axis is double of its distance from y-axis is

  1. $x = 2y$

  2. $y = 2x$

  3. $y = 2x + 3$

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The distance from x axis is equal to y and distance from y axis is equal to x.

So by given data, $y=2x$

While is not basic transformation function 

  1. Translation

  2. Rotating

  3. Scaling

  4. Reflection


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

transformation is when you take a shape and you move it in some way. A basic rigid transformation is a movement of the shape that does not affect the size of the shape. The shape doesn't shrink or get larger. There are three basic rigid transformations: reflections, rotations, and translations. So, scaing is not a basic transformation function.

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror along a vector $\hat i+\hat j-\hat k$. The noemal on incident point is along $\hat i+\hat j$. Then unit vector along the reflected ray is:

  2. $-\dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( \hat { i } +\hat { j } +\hat { k } \right)$

  3. $ \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( -\hat { i } -\hat { j } +\hat { k } \right)$

  4. $ \dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \left( -\hat { i } +\hat { j } +\hat { k }\right)$
