Which of the following is correct for the beam which enters the medium ? 

  1. Travel as a cylindrical beam

  2. Diverge

  3. Converge

  4. Diverge near the axis and converge near the periphery


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since the refractive index is less at beam boundary, the ray at the edges of the beam move faster compared to the axis of beam. Hence the beam converges.

The speed at which the light travels in vacuum is.

  1. $3 \times 10^{6} m/s $

  2. $3 \times 10^{8} m/s $

  3. $3 \times 10^{10} m/s $

  4. $3 \times 10^{12} m/s $


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The speed at which the light travels in vacuum is $ 3 \times 10^8 m/s$

If a parallel beam of light having intensity I is incident normally on a perfectly reflecting surface, the force exerted on the surface, equal F. When the surface is held at an angle $ \theta $ the force is 

  1. $ 2F tan \theta $

  2. $ F cos \theta $

  3. $ F cos^2 \theta $

  4. $ 2 F $


Correct Option: A

The shape of spot light produced when bright sunshine passes perpendicular through a hole of very small size, is:

  1. Square because hole is square

  2. Round because it is an image of the sun

  3. Round with a small pinumbra around it

  4. Square with a small pinumbra


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • The spots are often oval, rather than round. That's because the sunlight is hitting the ground at an angle and the round sun images are stretching out to make ovals.
  • It's perpendicular to the sun's rays, and the spots should become round. 
  •  Hence option B is the right answer

A light is said to be divergent when :

  1. all the rays travel parallel to each other

  2. all the rays spread from a point source of light

  3. all the rays converge together to a single point

  4. it travels in an irregular pattern


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When the rays of light starting from a point travel in different directions, then the collection of such rays is termed as a divergent beam of light.

A light is said to be convergent when :

  1. all the rays travel parallel to each other

  2. all the rays spread form a point source of light

  3. all the rays converge towards a single point

  4. it travels in an irregular pattern


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When the rays of light coming from different directions meet at a point, then the collection of such rays is termed as a convergent beam of light.

A narrow stream of light is called as :

  1. Ray

  2. Beam

  3. Sunlight

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ray light is defined as each of the lines in which light (and heat) may seem to stream from the sun or any luminous body, or pass through a small opening.

A broad stream of light is called a :

  1. Ray

  2. Beam

  3. Twilight

  4. Sunlight


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A broad stream of light is called a beam of light.
A beam is defined as a ray or stream of light or other radiation, as gamma rays, electrons, or subatomic particles.

State whether true or false.
When the rays of light starting from a point source travel in various directions, then the collection of such rays is called a convergent beam of light.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When the rays of light starting from a point travel in various directions then collection of such rays is called divergent beam of light

A beam of light is made up of:

  1. Rays

  2. Droplets

  3. Clusters

  4. Groups


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A $ \bf{beam\ of\ light}$ is group of rays of light travelling in a particular direction. 
A $ \bf{ray\ of\ light} $ is the direction along which the light energy propagates.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION A.

State whether true or false:
In convergent beam of light all the light rays meet at a point.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If a parallel beam of light fall on a converging mirror or lens then they will also pass through focus i.e. all the rays will meet at a point of a convergent beam.

Which of the following is the sources of light?

  1. Lamp

  2. Tube light

  3. CFL

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lamp, tube light and CFL emit light radiation in visible spectrum when they glow. So they are the sources of light.

Which of the following is true about observation of light?

  1. When we switch on the torch we can observe the beam of light

  2. Sun light can be observed in early morning when sun rises

  3. We can observed beam of light of sun through a hole

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the three statements are true that light is observed when switching on the torch, sunlight is observed in early morning and a beam of light can be observed through a hole.

Which of the following is not the sources of light?

  1. Candle

  2. Black body

  3. Sun

  4. Bulb


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Candle, sun and bulb emit light radiation when they glow, so they are the sources of light. But black body do not emit light and thus is is not a source of light.

In which of the following natural light can be observed?

  1. Tube light

  2. Bulb

  3. Sun

  4. Moon


Correct Option: C,D
Explanation:

Sun and moon are the natural sources of light whereas tube light and bulb are the man made sources of light.

Physical processes are sometimes described visually by lines. Only the following can cross.

  1. Streamlines in fluid flow

  2. Lines of forces in electrostatics

  3. Rays in geometrical options

  4. Lines of force in magnesium


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since in case of reflection or reflection of light rays, the image formation is the meeting/crossing of light ray's through a point.

A glass slab is placed in the path of convergent light.. The point of convergence of light .......... .

  1. moves away from the slab

  2. moves towards the slab

  3. remains at the some point

  4. undergoes a lateral shift


Correct Option: A

  1. Glass slab $(\mu =1.5)$

  2. water $(\mu =1.33)$

  3. Fibre slab $(\mu =1.65)$

  4. Alcohol slab $(\mu =1.36)$


Correct Option: B

Sun rays on the surface of the earth

A wave $ y = 10 sin (ax + bt) $ is reflected fron a dense medium at an origin. if 81% of energy is reflected thn the equation of reflected wave is :

  1. y= sin -8.1 sin (ax - bt)

  2. y= sin 8.1 sin (ax - bt)

  3. y= sin -9 sin (ax - bt)

  4. y= sin 10 sin (ax - bt)


Correct Option: B

If the angle of elevation of sun increases from ${0}^{o}$ to ${90}^{o}$ then what will be the change in length of shadow of tower?

  1. No change in length of shadow

  2. Length of shadow increases

  3. Length of shadow decreases

  4. Length of shadow will be zero


Correct Option: C,D
Explanation:

Length of shadow decreases and will be zero.
"Angle of elevation" is the angle between the thing being referenced and the horizontal. So, when the sun rises the angle of elevation increases and your shadow becomes shorter. When the sun is directly overhead, you don't have a shadow and the angle of elevation is 90, which is the greatest angle. So, the closer to midday, the shorter the shadow and the greater the angle of elevation.

In a room lighted by an electric bulb, it is found that the shadow of the ceiling fan hung in the centre is falling on a wall opposite to the door. What can you say about the position of the bulb? 

  1. On the wall having the door

  2. On the wall facing the door

  3. On the wall on your right as you enter the room

  4. On the wall on your left as you enter the room


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

When we put any object in between the light source it forms a shadow of that object. The closer the object is to the source of the light, the more light it blocks out, so its shadow is bigger. But if the object is further away, it does not block out much light, and so the shadow is smaller.
Therefore, for the shadow of the ceiling fan to be formed on a wall opposite to the door, the electric bulb must be positioned on the wall having the door.

Which of the following statement is true?

  1. All light is electromagnetic wave

  2. Electromagnetic energy is created only by heat

  3. Matter emits a single, unique photon when it is heated

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Option A $\rightarrow $ All light is electromagnetic wave. This option is correct as EM light does not need any medium to travel like EM wave.

Option B $\rightarrow $ Electromagnetic energy created only by heat.
                    This option is false.
Electromagnetic energy can be created in any case of accelerated charge.
Option C $\rightarrow $ When matter is heated many photos are ejected.
                     So this option is false.
