Set A

The document consists of a series of multiple-choice questions related to the properties of light, including concepts such as refraction, scattering, and the formation of rainbows. It addresses various phenomena like the twinkling of stars, the blue color of the sky, and the effects of optical density in different mediums. Each question tests knowledge on the behavior of light in different scenarios and its interaction with the atmosphere.

D. the thickness of eye-lens is increased
2. Person suffering from cataract has
A. elongated eyeball
B. excessive curvature of eye lens
C. weakened ciliary muscles
D. opaque eye lens.
3. In the diagram given below, X and Y are the end colours of the spectrum of white light. The
colour of 'Y' represents the

A. Colour of sky as seen from earth during the day


B. Colour of the sky as seen from the moon
C. Colour used to paint the danger signals
D. Colour of sun at the time of noon.
4. Which one of the following is the correct reason for twinkling of stars?
A. Atmospheric reflection of starlight.
B. Atmospheric refraction of starlight.
C. Scattering of starlight.
D. Dispersion of starlight.
5. Which of the following statements is not true for scattering of light?
A. Colour of the scattered light depends on the size of particles of the atmosphere.
B. Red light is least scattered in the atmosphere.
C. Scattering of light takes place as various colours of white light travel with different
speed in air.
D. The fine particles in the atmospheric air scatter the blue light more strongly than
red. So the scattered blue light enters our eyes.
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions from Q.no. (6 to )
Light seems to travel along straight line paths in a transparent medium. But when light enters
obliquely from one transparent medium to another, some changes are observed. This is
because different mediums have different optical densities. The extent of the change in the
direction of light that takes place when it enters obliquely in a given pair of media is expressed
in terms of a 'constant'. Light travels the fastest in vacuum. Light gets refracted through a
transparent prism. Several phenomena are observed due to the reflection, refraction,
dispersion and scattering of light by various mediums.
6. Rainbow is a natural spectrum. It is produced because of:
A. dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets.
B. refraction of sunlight by dust particles.
C. reflection of sunlight by plane shining surfaces.

A. Dispersion of light
B. Scattering of light
C. Atmospheric refraction of light
D. Tyndall effect
10. Consider the following statements:
I. Very fine particles scatter mainly blue light.
II. Advance sunrise and delayed sunset are due to atmospheric refraction.
III. Violet light bends the least while red light bends the most when a beam of white light
passes through a glass prism.

A. I only
B. III only
C. I and II
