    $\frac{3}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{3}{2}$
Velocity of fish is $\mu$= $2\text{ms}^{-1}$ Velocity of bird $($w.r.t fish$)$ is $\text{V}$ = $4\text{ms}^{-1}$ Refractive index of water.
$\mu$ $=$$\frac{4}{3}$
Actual velocity of bird $= \frac{\text{V}-\mu}{\mu}=\frac{4-2}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{3}{4}\times2=\frac{3}{2}$

Myopia is a defect of vision caused by:
  • A
    A decrease in the retinal distance from the lens.
  • B
    A decrease in the diameter of the eyeball.
  • C
    An increase in the thickness of the lens.
  • An increase in the curvature of the lens.
Answer
Correct option: D.
An increase in the curvature of the lens.
In a myopic eye, the image of distant objects is formed in front of the retina and not on the retina, as shown in the given figure. Since eye lens is convex, all parallel rays converge at its focus. This is a clear indication of the shortening of the focal length of a myopic eye lens.

As a result, the curvature of the lens gets increased. Hence, myopia is caused by an increase in the curvature of the eye lens.

Tina has a defect in her eyes. She is not able to contract her iris properly. As a result of the defect in her eyes, Tina will not be able to see.
  • In dim light.
  • B
    Near objects.
  • C
    In bright light.
  • D
    Distant objects.
Answer
Correct option: A.
In dim light.
Iris is that part of the eye which controls the amount of light by contracting and expanding itself. In dim light, the iris contracts to expand the pupil, so as to allow more light to enter the eye. In this way, things become visible in dim light. It is given that Tina is not able to contract her iris properly. Hence, she will not be able to see properly in dim light.

Answer
Correct option: C.
$i-$get released, $ii-$thinner, $iii-$increses.

 In the case of an object situated at a distance, almost parallel rays of light enter our eyes. Hence, the eye lens does not require a high converging power. As a result, the ciliary muscles get released and make the eye lens thinner, which in turn increases the focal length of the eye lens.

Two plane mirrors $AB$ and $CD$ are placed at right angles to one another. A ray of light $PQ$ hits $AB$ at $Q$ making an angle of $45^\circ $ as shown in the diagram. This ray will be reflected from mirror $CD$ at an angle.
  • A
    $20^\circ $
  • B
    $35^\circ$
  • $45^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$45^\circ$

 Since $OS$ is normal to the mirror $AB.$

$\therefore\angle\text{i}_1=45^\circ, $ also $\angle\text{r}_1= 45^\circ$ in
$\Delta\text{CQR}, \angle\text{C} = 90^\circ, \angle\text{CQR} = 45^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{CQR} = 45^\circ$
$\big[$$\therefore$ sum of all the three angles in tringle is $180^\circ$$\big]$
Hence, $\angle\text{i}_2 = 45^\circ$
$\big[$ TR is the normal to the mirror BD$\big]$
$\therefore\angle\text{r}_2 = 45^\circ$

Which of the following produces diffuse reflection of light?
  • A
    Mirror on a dressing table.
  • B
    Water surface of a pond.
  • Screen in a cinema hall.
  • D
    Polished wooden table.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Screen in a cinema hall.
Screen in a cinema hall produces diffuse reflection of light. When light incidence on smooth surface, the light is reflected in one direction as parallel beam. This is why our eyes cannot view the reflection from mirror, water and polished wood directly. When the light incidence on rough surface, the light is reflected in many directions. So, in cinema hall, the screen is designed as rough and irregular surface. In theatre, the projector projects parallel light rays which falls on screen. Due to irregularity of screen, the light is reflected in different direction. This type of reflection helps people from anywhere in the theatre to see the picture projected by the projector.

 The angle between the incident ray and the mirror is $30$ degrees.
Angle of incidence = angle of reflection.
$90$ degrees is going directly into the mirror.
So, $90 – 30 = 60$ degrees.
The total angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray will be $120$ degree.

Ciliary muscles
We can clearly view an object only when image is clearly reflected on retina. Our eyes focus distinct and near objects and reflects the image on retina. When eyes need to focus distinct object, then ciliary muscles reflex which increases the focal length. The eye lens converges the light and the objects are said to be unaccommodated. When eyes need to focus nearby object, then ciliary muscles relax which decreases the focal length. The eye lens diverges the light and the objects are said to be accommodated. The accommodation power of eyes is as close as $25 \ cm$ and as far as infinity.

A prism splits up light into different colours but a glass slab does not show dispersion because:
  • A
    The emergent ray is deviated from the direction of the incident ray by the angle of deviation.
  • The incident and emergent rays are parallel to each other.
  • C
    The emergent ray is laterally displaced from glass slab and changes its direction.
  • D
    The incident and emergent rays are not parallel to each other.
Answer
Correct option: B.
The incident and emergent rays are parallel to each other.
Dispersion occurs when light is passed through a prism due to the difference in the angle of deviation for different colours. The opposite sides of a glass slab are parallel and therefore different colors emerge parallel to each other and are seen simultaneously.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$250\ cm$

 Object distance $= 150\ cm$
$\therefore$ Image distance $= 150\ cm$ (as in plane mirror, object distance is always equal to the image distance)
The patient is $100\ cm$ away from the mirror.
So, the distance between the patient's eyes and the image $= 100\ cm + 150\ cm = 250\ cm$

    When raindrops diffract sunlight.
Answer

When raindrops disperse sunlight.
The dispersion of sunlight is the splitting of white light into rays of seven different colours. Just after the rain, there are a large number of water drops in the air which act like small prisms. As the white sunlight enters these water drops, the constituents of white light of different colours are refracted by different amounts, and a band of seven colours called rainbow is formed.

  • B
    $3.5\ m$
  • $9\ m$
  • D

Shyam views a certain object and finds that it is not properly visible to him. The image of the said object is formed by his eye lens $3\ cm$ away from the pupil of his eye. Shyam can correct the defect in his vision by using:
  • Convex lens
  • B
    Bifocal lens
  • C
    Concave lens
  • D
    Cylindrical lens
Answer
Correct option: A.
Convex lens

 The diameter of the eye ball is approximately $2.3\ cm.$
Images are formed on the retina of the normal eye, which is approximately $2.3\ cm$ behind the pupil.The formation of an image $3\ cm$ away from the pupil of the eye indicates that the light rays are focused behind the retina. For proper visibility, the light rays must focus on the retina.

It can be concluded that Shyam is suffering from hypermetropia and a convex lens can be used to correct this defect.

An incident ray makes an angle of $65$ degree with the surface of a plane mirror. The angle of reflection in this case will be:
  • A
    $65^\circ$
  • B
    $45^\circ$
  • $25^\circ$
  • D
    $35^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$25^\circ$

 According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. If the incident ray makes an angle of $65$ degree with the surface of plane mirror, than the angle of incidence can be calculated as: angle of incidence $= 90 –$ angle made with the plane mirror $= 90 – 65 = 25$ degree. Since, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, therefore the required angle of reflection $= 25$ degree.

The size of the pupil of the eye is adjusted by:
  • A
    Cornea
  • B
    Ciliary muscles
  • C
    Optic nerve
  • Iris
Answer
Correct option: D.
Iris
The size of the pupil of the eye is adjusted by “iris”. The pupil of our eye is an entrance for the light rays to enter our eyes and give us the sensation of sight. If too much light enters our eyes, it can be dangerous for eyes. Whenever the light is strong, the pupil shrinks in order to reduce the entrance of light and protect our eyes. If too less light enters our eyes, we don’t get a clear vision. Whenever the light is weak, the pupil expands in order to increase the entrance of light and improve the vision. This is how pupil of the eye changes its size to adjust for different amount of light.
