CHAPTER 10: Light Reflection and Refraction
CHAPTER 11 : The Human Eye and Colourful World

1.​ The face of the moon that is visible to us is called the near side and the face
of the moon which is invisible to us is called the far side. What colour
would the sky appear to an astronaut standing on the "far side" of the
Moon and why?
(a) blue, as the Moon's atmosphere scatters sunlight just like Earth
(b) white, as the Moon's surface reflect all the light that falls on it
(c) black, as there is no atmosphere on Moon to scatter sunlight
(d) black, as sunlight does not fall on the far side of the Moon

2.​ Search mirrors are mirrors that are used to look for hidden objects
underneath the cars as shown.

lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 15 cm.

eyes.

b) List its two possible causes.
c) Calculate the power of the lens needed to correct this defect.
Assume that the near point for the normal eye is 25 cm.
5.​ When an object is placed at the centre of curvature, an image is formed at
the centre of curvature, i.e. m =− 1. A student obtains a blurred image of a
distant object on a screen using a convex lens. To obtain a distinct image on
the screen, he should move the lens:

(d) Concave mirror

8.​ A student traces the path of a ray of light through a glass prism for
different angles of incidence. He analysis each diagram and draws the
following conclusion:
I. On entering the prism, the light ray bends towards its base.
II. Light ray suffers refraction at the point of incidence and point of
emergence while passing through the prism.
III. Emergent ray bends at certain angle to the direction of the
incident ray.
IV. While emerging from the prism, the light ray bends towards the
 vertex of the prism.Out of the above inferences, the correct ones are:
(a) I, II and III
(b) I, III and IV
