You are given four sources of light each one providing a light of a single colour red, blue, green and yellow. Suppose the angle of refraction for a beam of yellow light corresponding to a particular angle of incidence at the interface of two media is 90. Which of the following statements is correct, if the source of yellow light is replaced with that of other lights without changing the angle of incidence?

  1. The beam of red light would undergo total internal reflection.

  2. The beam of red light would bend towards normal while it gets refracted through the second medium.

  3. The beam of blue light would undergo total internal reflection.

  4. The beam of green light would bend away from the normal as it gets refracted through the second medium.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

For yellow light, r=90$^{\circ}$, when $i=c$ since $i$ is kept $c$ should be smaller for total reflection

$\mu = \cfrac{1}{\sin{c}}$ 
If $c$ is small, $\mu$ will be large.
$\therefore c $ will be smallest for this colour.
Hence, blue colour will undergo total internal reflection.

A real image is formed when two or more

  1. reflected rays meet

  2. refracted rays meet

  3. reflected rays appear to meet

  4. rays actually meet


Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:

the real image is formed when two or more reflected or refracted rays actually meet at a point.

Select the odd one out w.r.t. the type of reflection of incident light

(wood, steel, silver, mirror, graphite)

  1. mirror

  2. wood

  3. silver

  4. steel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Except mirror all other causes irregular reflection

State whether true or false.
Regular reflection takes place when the light beam falls on a highly polished surface.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A highly polished surface acts like a reflecting surface which allows regular reflection to take place.

State whether true or false.
Regular reflection is produced when light falls on the rough walls.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Regular reflection is produced when light falls on highly polished surface.

Regular reflection takes place when light is incident on:

  1. a rough curved surface

  2. a highly polished plane surface

  3. either of A and B

  4. neither of A and B


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When parallel rays of light are incident on a highly polished plane surface, after reflection, the rays emerge parallel as well. This type of reflection is called regular reflection.

Type of reflection in which images are formed and reflection occurs from a smooth surface like that of mirror is known as: 

  1. diffused reflection

  2. regular reflection

  3. irregular reflection

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Regular reflection occurs from smooth surfaces and images are formed in this type of reflection.

Irregular reflection occurs due to:

  1. failure of laws of reflection

  2. irregularity in reflecting surface

  3. irregular light

  4. all of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Irregular reflection occurs when parallel rays of light are incident on an irregular or rough surface and after reflection emerge in different directions. This type of reflection occurs due to irregularity of the reflecting surface.

Regular reflections occur from smooth or polished surfaces.

Moon is visible to us because:

  1. it reflects light

  2. it refracts light

  3. it emits light

  4. it absorbs light


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We see an object when light comes from the same. As moon is not a natural source of light, it reflects light rays from the Sun and we are able to see it.

When all the parallel rays reflected from a plane surface are parallel, the reflection is known as:

  1. regular reflection

  2. irregular reflection

  3. diffused reflection

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When all the parallel rays reflected from a plane surface are parallel, the reflection is known as regular reflection .

Which of the following can form image?

  1. Diffused reflection

  2. Irregular reflection

  3. Regular reflection

  4. All of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Images are formed by regular reflection. Diffused or irregular reflections can not form images.

Mark the statement which is true for diffused reflection:

  1. Diffused reflection is due to failure of laws of reflection

  2. It is caused due to irregularities in the reflecting surface

  3. When the incident light is diffused in nature it causes diffused reflection

  4. All are true


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Diffused reflection is not due to failure of laws of reflection but it is due to irregularities in the reflecting surface, like that of cardboard.

Why we are not able to see our image on a cardboard even though it reflects light?

  1. Because cardboard does not shine like mirror

  2. Because cardboard is not as durable as mirror

  3. Because cardboard's surface is irregular

  4. All


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

We can"t see our image on a cardboard because cardboard"s surface is rough and the reflection occurring on uneven surface is irregular reflection. So, the rays, after reflection, move to different directions. Images are not formed due to irregular reflections.

Which of the following is /are type of reflection ?

  1. Regular reflection

  2. Irregular reflection

  3. Diffused reflection

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are two kinds of reflection
i)regular reflection
ii)irregular reflection

When light is incident on a polished surface ___________ reflection takes place.

  1. regular

  2. irregular

  3. both (a) and (b)

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Regular reflection takes place when a light beam is incident on a smooth surface which is highly polished.

Which surfaces will reflects most of the light falling on them?

  1. Flat surface

  2. Shiny surface

  3. Smooth surface

  4. Opaque surface


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A perfect smooth and shiny surface will reflect most of the light falling on them.

A bus driver is reversing his bus at a speed $8 m s^{-1}$. The rear view mirror of a bus is a plane mirror. The driver sees in his rear view mirror the image of a car parked behind his bus. The speed at which the image of the car appears to approach the driver will be

  1. $2 m s^{-1}$

  2. $4 m s^{-1}$

  3. $8 m s^{-1}$

  4. $16 m s^{-1}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The speed at which the image of the car appears to approach the driver will be $(2 \times 8) m s^{-1} = 16 m s^{-1}$ because rear view mirror is a plane mirror.

  1. may produce image

  2. never produce image

  3. must produce image

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

Irregular reflection obeys laws of reflection .

You are able to see in shaded areas, such as under a tree, because light has undergone:

  1. refraction

  2. incident bending

  3. a change in speed

  4. diffused reflection


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a diffused or irregular reflection, parallel rays of light, after striking a rough and curved surface, get reflected irregularly.

Which surfaces are said to be smooth?

  1. As long as the irregularities of surfaces are small as compared to the wavelength of the incident light.

  2. As long as surface irregularities are large compared to the wavelength of the incident light.

  3. As long as surface smoothness are small as compared to wavelength of reflected light

  4. As long as the surface irregularities are large as compared to the wavelength of reflected light.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A surface behaves as a smooth surface as long as the surface irregularities are small compared with the wavelength of the incident light.

Light reflecting from surface of sea rocks is an example of:

  1. Regular reflection

  2. Diffused reflection

  3. Total internal reflection

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When a light ray is reflected in many directions from a surface like a rock, it is called as diffused (or Irregular) reflection.

The change in reflected wave, when light wave suffers reflection at the interface from air to glass is?

  1. $0$

  2. $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$

  3. $\pi$

  4. $2\pi$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
When light wave suffers reflection at the interface from air to glass, the change in phase of the reflected wave is equal to π
Hence the option C is the right answer

The reflection taking place from the walls of a building is called:

  1. regular reflection

  2. diffused reflection

  3. multiple reflection

  4. internal reflection


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The reflection taking place from the walls of a building is called diffused reflection.
In diffused reflection, the reflected rays are not parallel to each other. This kind of reflection occurs from a coarse surface. Walls of a building being coarse surfaces, give rise to diffused reflections.
