TEST 01 SET B ELECTRICITY,LIGHT & HUMAN EYE AND COLORFULL WORLD

Class 10 - Science
Time Allowed: 1 hour and 30 minutes Maximum Marks: 40
Section A
1. The laws of reflection hold true for: [1]
a) convex mirrors only b) concave mirrors only
c) all reflecting surfaces d) plane mirrors only

2. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct regarding scattering of light? [1]
i. Scattering is responsible for the bluish appearance of the sky.
ii. Clouds having droplets of water scatter all wavelengths almost equal and so are generally white.
iii. Advanced sunrise and delayed sunset are due to atmospheric reflection.
a) Only (ii) and (iii) b) Only (iii)
c) Only (i) and (ii) d) (i), (ii) and (iii)

3. How much resistance does a superconductor have? [1]
a) Considerable resistance b) Low resistance
c) High resistance d) Zero resistance

4. Assertion (A): Red light travels faster in glass than green light. [1]
Reason (R): The refractive index of glass is less for red light than for green light.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct b) Both A and R are true but R is not the
explanation of A. correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false. d) A is false but R is true.

5. Assertion (A): There exist two angles of incidence for the same magnitude of deviation (except minimum [1]
deviation) by a prism kept in the air.
Reason (R): In a prism kept in the air, a ray is incident on the first surface and emerges out of the second
surface. Now if another ray is incident on the second surface (of the prism) along the previous emergent ray, then
this ray emerges out of the first surface along the previous incident ray. The particle is called the principle of
reversibility of light.

6. Assertion (A): When the resistances are connected between the same two points, they are said to be connected [1]
in parallel.
Reason (R): In case the resistance is to be decreased, then the individual resistances are connected in parallel.

Section B
7. Why do the trees and houses on the other side of an open ground appear to be shaking during the summer noon? [2]
8. Draw a ray diagram showing the path of rays of light when it enters with oblique incidence: [2]
a. from air to water
b. from water to air
9. Velocity of light in diamond is 1.2 × 108 ms-1 and in vacuum, it is 3 × 108 ms-1, what is refractive index of [2]
diamond ?
10. Name four colours of the spectrum of white light which have wavelengths longer than blue light. [2]
Section C
11. "A concave mirror of focal length f can form a magnified, erect as well as an inverted image of an object placed [3]
in front of it." Justify this statement stating the position of object with respect to the mirror in each case for
obtaining these images.
12. An object is kept at a distance of 18 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm, from a lens of power+5D. (i) In which case or cases [3]
would you get a magnified image? (ii) Which of the magnified image can we get on a screen? (b) List two
widely used applications of a convex lens.

2. Millions of people of the developing countries of world are suffering from corneal blindness. These people
can be cured by replacing the defective cornea with the cornea of a donated eye.
A charitable society of your city has organised a campaign in your neighbourhood in order to create
awareness about this fact.
If you are asked to participate in this mission how would you contribute in this noble cause?
1. State the objective of organising such campaigns.
2. List two arguments which you would give to motivate the people to donate their eyes after death.
3. List two values which are developed in the persons who actively participate and contribute in such
programme.
14. a. A student wants to use an electric heater, an electric bulb and an electric fan simultaneously. [3]
How should these gadgets be connected with the mains? Justify your answer giving three reasons.
b. What is an electric fuse? How is it connected in a circuit?
Section D

c. Retina
d. Cornea
iii. What type of image is formed on the retina?
a. Virtual and inverted
b. Real and inverted
c. Virtual and erect
d. Real and erect
iv. What would the size of the image formed on the retina depend on?
a. Age of the person
b. Curvature of the lens
c. focal length of the lens
d. Distance of the candle from the eyes
Section E
16. a. Define power of a lens and write its SI unit. Name the type of lens whose power is negative. [5]
b. A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of finite size at a distance of 50 cm from it. Where is the
object placed in front of the lens? Give all possible positions of the object stating reason in each case.
c. Draw labelled ray diagram for any one position of the object mentioned in (b) above.
17. What is atmospheric refraction? Use this phenomenon to explain the following natural events. [5]
i. Twinkling of stars.
ii. Advanced sunrise and delayed sunset.
Draw diagrams to illustrate your answers.
