1. One cannot see through the fog, because ?

light is scattered by the droplets

fog absorbs light

light suffers total reflection at droplets

refractive index of the fog is very high

Answer: light is scattered by the droplets

Explanation:


2. The air layer of atmosphere whose temperature is less then the hot layer behave as optically ?

inactive medium

rarer medium

denser medium

either denser or rarer medium

Answer: denser medium

Explanation:

The cold air layer of the atmosphere acts as a optically denser medium than hot air because the molecules are closely packed together.


3. Myopia and hypermetropia can be corrected by ?

Plano-concave lens for both defects.

Convex and concave lens

Concave and convex lens

Concave and plano-convex lens

Answer: Concave and convex lens

Explanation:

Myopia is corrected by using of suitable power of concave lens while hypermetropia is corrected by convex lens.


4. The Animals called predators have ?

Both the eyes at the front

One eye on the front and one at the back

One eye on the side and one at the front

Both the eyes on the sides

Answer: Both the eyes at the front

Explanation:

Predators have both the eyes at the front of their heads so that they can judge the distance of their prey accurately.


5. The defect of the eye in which the eyeball becomes too long is ?

cataract

presbyopia

hypermetropia

myopia

Answer: myopia

Explanation:


6. Image formed in normal eye of human is ?

beyond retina

at infinity

on retina

behind retina

Answer: on retina

Explanation:


7. Long sightedness is caused by eyeball being too short. It can be corrected by ?

Divergent lens

None

Using convergent lens

Plane mirror

Answer: Using convergent lens

Explanation:


8. The focal length of the eye lens increases when eye muscles ?

Contract and lens becomes thinner

Are relaxed and lens becomes thicker

Are relaxed and lens become thinner

Contract and lens becomes thicker

Answer: Are relaxed and lens become thinner

Explanation:

The focal length of the eye lens increases when eye muscles relaxed and becomes thinner. The sharp image of the distant object is formed at the retina. This enables us to focus accurately on distant objects.


9. How does the eye change in order to focus on near or distant objects ?

The pupil gets larger or smaller

The lens becomes thicker or thinner

The retina moves in or out

The lens moves in or out

Answer: The lens becomes thicker or thinner

Explanation:

The eye lens becomes thicker to focus on nearby objects and thinner to focus on distant objects.


10. At a particular minimum value of angle of deviation, the refracted ray becomes ?

Inclined at 45degrees w.r.t base of prism

Perpendicular to base of prism

None

Parallel to base of prism

Answer: Parallel to base of prism

Explanation:
