    Out of these four options, which surface can light pass through?

    • Opaque

    • Transparent

    Correct Answer
    A. Transparent
    Explanation
    Light can pass through a surface that is transparent. Transparency refers to the property of allowing light to pass through without scattering or diffusing it. Transparent materials such as glass, water, and air allow light to pass through them, making objects on the other side visible. In contrast, opaque surfaces do not allow light to pass through, blocking the transmission of light and making objects behind them invisible.

    Out of these four questions, which one is not a source of light?

    • Sun

    • Moon

    Correct Answer
    A. Moon
    Explanation
    The moon is not a source of light because it does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects the light from the sun. The sun, on the other hand, is a source of light as it emits its own light and heat. Therefore, the moon is the correct answer as it does not emit light independently.

    When an object is blocking the path of light, it creates a _______.

    Correct Answer
    shadow
    Explanation
    When an object blocks the path of light, it creates a shadow. Shadows are formed when light is obstructed by an opaque object, preventing it from reaching a surface. The object casts a silhouette on the surface behind it, creating a darker area where light is not able to reach. Shadows are formed due to the absence of light in the blocked area, resulting in a contrast between the illuminated and shaded regions.

    _______  is not a source of light because the suns light reflects onto it.

    Correct Answer
    moon
    Explanation
    The moon is not a source of light because it does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects the light from the sun. This is why we see the moon shining in the night sky. If the moon were a source of light itself, it would emit its own light and not rely on the sun's light for illumination.
