Class 8
Chapter-Light Refraction and dispersion of light
1When light travels from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium.
(a) it bends away from the normal.
(b) it bends towards the normal.
© it is undeviated.
(d) it is laterally displaced.
[Link] what position of the object does a convex lens act as a magnifying glass?
(a) between F and 2F
(b) between F and O
© beyond F
(d) beyond 2F
[Link] white light passes through a prism, it is
(a) deviated and dispersed.
(b) deviated but not dispersed.
© laterally displaced and not dispersed.
(d) reflected.
[Link] index can be defined for both transparent and opaque objects. True or false?
[Link] a prism, the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray. True or false?
6.A transparent medium bends light by the same amount irrespective of the colour of light. True or
false?
[Link] an object is situated at the focal point of a convex lens, where is the image formed?
8.A diverging lens forms a real image of an object, placed beyond F, and a virtual image of an object
placed between O and F. Ture or false?
[Link], giving reasons, the path of a ray of light incident on a glass slab takes till it emerges from the
slab?
[Link] questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason ®. Answer these questions
selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
© A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
(1). Assertion(A) : White light is dispersed into its seven-colour components by a prism.
Reason ® : Different colours of light bend through different angles with respect to the incident ray as
they pass through a prism.
(2)Assertion: The object distance is the distance of the object from the lens
Reason: It is measured from the object to the optical centre of the Lens.
[Link] (A) : Light does not travel in the same direction in all the media.
Reason ® : The speed of light does not change as it enters from one transparent medium to another.
[Link] (A) : A ray passing through the optical centre of a concave lens after refraction, goes straight
without any bending
Reason ® : The ray is incident normally.
