Question 6
SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS/HOTS.
(i)Ramesh was asked to close his eyes while looking towards bright sunshine. Now, cover the eyes with your palm still keeping them closed. Do you notice any difference? On the basis of this experience, state whether your eyelids are transparent, translucent or opaque.
(ii)How will you convert a transparent glass sheet into a translucent sheet? Suggest any two ways to do it.
(iii)Three identical towels of red, blue and green colour are hanging on a clothes line in the sun. What would be the colour of shadows of these towels?
(iv)Why is shadow formed when an opaque object comes in path of light?
(v)Why you cannot see our images in the mirror in complete dark room?
(vi)Sanvi was trying to see through a N shaped pipe? Will she be able to see through it? Justify your answer.
(vii) Why polished surface causes glare in your eyes?
(viii) How do you see your image in the mirror?

Answer

(i)On the basis of the experience, we observe our eyelids are opaque.
(ii)

By smearing a thin layer of oil, we may convert a transparent glass sheet into a translucent sheet.
By covering one side of the glass sheet by butter paper.

(iii)The colour of the shadow will always be black.
(iv)Ans. Light travels in a straight line and when opaque object obstructs it, shadow is formed.
(v)We cannot see our images in the mirror in complete dark room as there is no light to reflect.
(vi) No. she will not be able to see through a N shaped pipe because light travels through a straight line.
(vii) Polished surface cause glares in our eyes because they produce regular reflection of light.
(viii)Light rays reflected from parts of our body fall on mirror and are reflected back. When these reflected rays reach our eyes (reflected on our retina), we can see the image. Mirror has one surface painted so when we see the mirror light rays which reflect from our body not get pass through mirror.

Question 7
Name the following:

The form of energy that helps us to see.
The phenomena when light bounces off an object.
The phenomena in which our left hand looks like right hand.
Objects that cannot emit light energy by themselves.
A smooth surface that reflects a clear image of the object.
The materials which allow light to pass through them.
An object on which an image from a mirror or lens can be obtained.
The darkest part of shadow.
Object through which light cannot pass at all.
