II WRITE ONE WORD FOR THE FOLLOWING
1 Materials which allow all the light to pass through it. Transparent objects
2 Materials through which we can see but not clearly. Translucent objects
3 Materials which do not allow light to pass through it at all. Opaque objects
4. The most important source of light. Sun
5. The property of light illustrated by the fact that we cannot see around a corner.
Rectilinear propagation of light
III Which of the following are the sources of light.
sun, table, moon, star, electric bulb, meteor, firefly, planets, chair, mirror.
IV State any two observations from daily life which shows that light travels in straight lines.
Light emerging from a lamp,
Beams of light from the headlight of car, scooter.

Virtual image is an image which cannot be obtained on screen. It is erect
VI Write two characteristics of images formed by a plane mirror.
It is of the same size as the object.
Image is laterally inverted/ Image formed is virtual
VII For question numbers 1 to 3 two statements are given- one labelled Assertion (A) and the other
Labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) as given below
i) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
iii) A is true but R is false.
iv) A is false but R is true
1 Assertion: Opaque object forms a shadow when light falls on it.
Reason: Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through it.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. Assertion: Pinhole camera images do not have the colour of the object.
Reason: The image formed in a pinhole camera is small, inverted but shows the exact detail of the
object.
A is false but R is true.
Assertion: A burning candle cannot be seen through a bent tube.
3. Reason: Light rays can bend in a bent tube.
A is true but R is false.
VIII
1. Name the device given in the figure. Pin hole camera
2. On what principle does it work? Rectilinear propagation of light
3. What is the nature of the image formed by the given device? Inverted image
4. What happens if the hole in a pinhole camera is made bigger? Sharpness of image decreases,
it becomes blurr
