What is meant by luminous object?name two luminous objec
|
The source which emit their own light are called luminous objects.ithey produce their own light and emit this light.luminous object can be seen because the light given by it enters our eyes and thus it makes the things visible for us.eg sun,torch
|
What is meant by non luminous object.name two non luminous objects
|
The object which donot emit light are called non luminous object.they cannot make their own light.since they cannot produce their own light they cannot emit the light.thus the light is not reflected into our eyes thus we cannot see the object eg table
|
What is the difference between regular reflection and diffuse reflection of light? Name one object
|
Regular reflection
Diffuse reflection
In it a parallel beam of light is reflected as a parallel beam in one direction
In this a parallel beam of light is reflected in all directions
It occurs from smooth surfaces like that of a plane mirror
It occurs from the rough surfaces like that of paper
Images are formed by regular reflection
Images are not formed by diffuse reflection
In this angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection
In this angle of incidence is not equal to angle of reflection
Eg mirror , polished wooden surface
Eg paper , cardboard
|
Draw diagram to show regular reflection of light and diffuse reflection of light
|
Draw it
|
Which of the following will cause regular reflection of light and which diffuse reflection of light
a. Polished wooden table b.chalk powder c. Cardboard d.mirror e.paper f.marble floor with water spread over it |
Regular reflection
Diffuse reflection
Polished wooden table
Chalk powder
Mirror
Cardboard
Marble floor with water spread over it
paper

Draw a diagram to show the reflection of light from a plane mirror.label the following on the diagram
a. Plane mirror b.incident ray c.reflected ray d.point of incidence e.normal f. Angle of incidence g.angle of reflection |
Draw and label it
|
State the laws of reflection
|
The incident ray , the normal and the reflected ray lie at the same plane at the point of incidence
the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection |
Draw a labelled diagram showing how a plane mirror forms an image of a point object placed in front of it
|
Draw it
|
State the characteristics of the image formed in a plane mirror
|
A plane mirror forms a virtual image of an object
the size of image is the same as the size of the object image is always upright as that of the object image is always as far inside the mirror as the object is in front it. |
Draw a labelled diagram of the human eye .label the following parts of this diagram
cornea iris pupil ciliary muscles retina optic nerve blind spot |
Draw it
|
What are the functions of the following parts of the eye
iris eye lens ciliary muscles retina optic nerve |
Iris it controls the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the pupil
eye lens it focusses the image of an object on the retina Capillary muscle:the eye lens is a flexible convex lens whose thickness and focal length can be changed by the action of ciliary muscles retina it is behind the eye lens and it is here where the image of the object is focussed optic nerve: it carries the message formed on retina to the brain |
What is lateral reflection:
|
It is the consequence of image formed by the reflection phenomenon
|
What is dispersion of light ?
|
The phenomenon of splitting white light into its constituent colours is called dispersion of light
|
Define persistence of vision
|
The image of an object seen by our eyes persists on retina for about one sixteenth of a second even after the object has disappeared from our view.the ability of an eye to see the object for a very short duration even after the object has disappeared from view is called persistence of vision
|
Define far point
|
The farthest point from the eye at which an object can be seen clearly is known as the far point.the far point of a normal eye is infinity.this means that the far point of a normal human eye is at a very large distance.
