1.

……………. is ratio of height of image to height of object.

(a)  

2.

A convex and a concave lens of equal focal length behaves as a regular glass slab receiving light normally.

a)

True

b)

False

3.

A person standing in front of a mirror finds his image larger than himself. This shows that mirror is convex in nature.

a)

True

b)

False

4.

Assertion: Pupil is black in color.

Reason: Pupil is black in color as no light is reflected in it.

a)

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

b)

The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

c)

Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

d)

The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

5.

Assertion: Incident light is reflected in only one direction from a smooth surface.

Reason: Since the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are same, a beam of parallel rays of light falling on a smooth surface is reflected as a beam of parallel light rays in one direction only.

a)

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

b)

The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

c)

Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

d)

The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

6.

7.

When light falls on a surface and bounces back to the medium, the phenomena is called

(a)  

8.

The deviation of light ray from its path when it travels from one transparent medium to another transparent medium is called

a)

reflection

b)

refraction

c)

dispersion

d)

scattering

9.
