Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    A plane mirror is?

    • A.

      Flat

    • B.

      Refraction

    • C.

      Acustic

    • D.

      Normal

    • E.

      The Index Of Refraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Flat
    Explanation
    A plane mirror is flat, meaning that its surface is smooth and does not have any curvature. When light reflects off a plane mirror, it does not change direction or undergo refraction. The reflection off a plane mirror is a perfect reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Therefore, the correct answer is "Flat."

    The Line Perpendicular To The Boundary

    • A.

      Virtual and Erect

    • B.

      Snell's Law

    • C.

      Optic Nerve

    • D.

      Relfection

    • E.

      Normal

    Correct Answer
    E. Normal
    Explanation
    The term "normal" refers to a line that is perpendicular to a surface or boundary. In the context of optics and reflection, the normal is an imaginary line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point where light rays strike it. This line helps determine the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection according to Snell's Law. Therefore, the correct answer in this case is "normal" because it is related to the concept of perpendicularity and reflection in optics.

    An Image From A Distance Less Than The Focal Point

    • A.

      Virtual and Erect

    • B.

      Diverging

    • C.

      Converging

    • D.

      Iris

    • E.

      Lens

    Correct Answer
    A. Virtual and Erect
    Explanation
    When an object is placed at a distance less than the focal point of a lens, the image formed is virtual and erect. This means that the image appears to be on the same side as the object and it is upright. In this case, the lens is not specified, so we cannot determine if it is a diverging or converging lens. The iris is not relevant to the formation of the image.

    A Device Made Of Glass That Reflects Light

    • A.

      Lens

    • B.

      Camera

    • C.

      Focal Point

    • D.

      Snell's Law

    • E.

      Acustics

    Correct Answer
    A. Lens
    Explanation
    A lens is a device made of glass that reflects and refracts light. It is used to focus or diverge light rays, allowing for the formation of images. Lenses are commonly used in cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and eyeglasses. They work by bending the light rays as they pass through, causing them to converge or diverge depending on the shape of the lens. This ability to manipulate light makes lenses an essential component in optical devices.

    • A.

      Focal Point

    • B.

      Snell's Law

    • C.

      Diverging

    • D.

      Index Of Refraction

    • E.

      Lens

    Correct Answer
    B. Snell's Law
    Explanation
    Snell's Law is the correct answer because the given expression "N1 SIN (the ta) 1N2 SIN (the ta) 2" represents the mathematical relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes through different media. Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the indices of refraction of the two media. Therefore, this answer is appropriate in the context of understanding the behavior of light as it passes through different substances.

    Nearsightedness Is Corrected With What Kind Of Lenses?

    • A.

      Diverging

    • B.

      Converging

    • C.

      Optic Nerve

    • D.

      Focal Point

    • E.

      Refraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Diverging
    Explanation
    Nearsightedness is a condition where a person can see nearby objects clearly but has difficulty seeing distant objects. This is caused by the eyeball being too long or the cornea being too curved, which causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Diverging lenses are used to correct nearsightedness because they spread out the light rays before they enter the eye, allowing them to focus properly on the retina. This helps to bring distant objects into clear focus for individuals with nearsightedness.

    The Blind Spot In The Eye I Caused By This

    • A.

      Virtual and Erect

    • B.

      Flat

    • C.

      Virtual Image

    • D.

      Lens

    • E.

      Optic Nerve

    Correct Answer
    E. Optic Nerve
    Explanation
    The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. It carries the electrical signals generated by the retina to the brain, where they are interpreted as visual images. The blind spot in the eye is caused by the absence of photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the area where the optic nerve exits the eye. This creates a small area where no visual information is detected, resulting in a blind spot.

    Reflection From A Rough Surface

    • A.

      Focal Point

    • B.

      Diffuse

    • C.

      Reflection

    • D.

      Refraction

    • E.

      Converging

    Correct Answer
    B. Diffuse
    Explanation
    Diffuse reflection refers to the scattering of light in different directions when it hits a rough or uneven surface. Unlike specular reflection, where light reflects off a smooth surface at a specific angle, diffuse reflection occurs when the surface is irregular and causes the light to scatter randomly. This results in a softer, less focused reflection. Therefore, in the context of the given options, diffuse is the most appropriate term related to reflection from a rough surface.

    The Color Part Of The Eye That Regualtes Light

    • A.

      Iris

    • B.

      Converging

    • C.

      Diverging

      Focal Point

    • E.

      Acustics

    Correct Answer
    A. Iris
    Explanation
    The iris is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. It controls the size of the pupil, which determines how much light is allowed to pass through. The iris contracts in bright light to make the pupil smaller and dilates in dim light to make the pupil larger, thus adjusting the amount of light reaching the retina. This mechanism helps to protect the sensitive cells of the retina from excessive light and ensures optimal vision in different lighting conditions.

    • E.

      Camera

    Correct Answer
    D. Converging
    Explanation
    A lens that is thicker in the middle is known as a converging lens. This type of lens causes parallel rays of light to converge or come together at a point called the focal point. It forms a real image when the object is placed beyond the focal point and an inverted virtual image when the object is placed between the lens and the focal point. Converging lenses are commonly used in cameras and telescopes to focus light and create clear images.

    • B.

      Camera

    • C.

      Shot Gun

    • D.

      Guitar

    • E.

      Microscope

    Correct Answer
    B. Camera
    Explanation
    A camera is a device that is similar to the eye because it captures images just like the eye does. The iris in the eye controls the amount of light entering the eye, and similarly, the aperture in a camera controls the amount of light entering the camera. The camera lens focuses the light onto a sensor, which converts the light into an image, just like the retina in the eye converts light into signals that are sent to the brain. Therefore, a camera closely resembles the eye in terms of its function and ability to capture visual information.

    Correct Answer
    A. Farsighted
    Explanation
    Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a condition where a person can see distant objects clearly but has difficulty focusing on objects that are close. This occurs when the eyeball is shorter than normal or the cornea is not curved enough, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. As a result, close objects appear blurry. This condition can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

      Index Of Refraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Echo
    Explanation
    An echo is the reflection of sound waves off a surface and back to the listener. When sound waves encounter a surface that is hard and smooth, such as a wall or a cliff, they bounce back and create an echo. The time it takes for the sound waves to travel to the surface and back determines the length of the echo. This phenomenon is commonly experienced in large open spaces or mountains, where the sound waves can travel a longer distance before returning to the listener.

    Correct Answer
    B. Focal Length
    Explanation
    The focal length is the distance between the focal point and the center of the lens. It is a fundamental property of a lens and determines the lens's ability to converge or diverge light. The focal length affects the image formation, as it determines the size and position of the image formed by the lens. A shorter focal length results in a wider field of view and a greater magnification, while a longer focal length provides a narrower field of view and a lower magnification.
