Chapter-6 Light — Important Questions & Answers
What is the phenomenon of bouncing back of light from a smooth surface called?
- A. Refraction
- B. Reflection
- C. Dispersion
- D. Diffraction
Answer: B. Reflection
Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a surface. This is the basic principle behind mirrors.

The angle of incidence is always measured between the incident ray and the:
- A. mirror surface
- B. reflected ray
- C. normal
- D. refracted ray
Answer: C. normal
The angle of incidence is measured from the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.

When light passes from air into water, which of the following changes occurs?
- A. Its speed decreases and it bends towards the normal
- B. Its speed increases and it bends away from the normal
- C. Its speed and direction remain unchanged
- D. It becomes completely absorbed
Answer: A. Its speed decreases and it bends towards the normal
In a denser medium like water, light slows down and bends towards the normal. This is refraction.

A concave lens is always used because it:
- A. converges parallel rays to a point
- B. diverges parallel rays
- C. forms real images only
- D. produces images on a screen always
Answer: B. diverges parallel rays
A concave lens spreads out parallel rays of light, so it is called a diverging lens.
A concave lens spreads out parallel rays of light, so it is called a diverging lens.
A person can see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. Which correction is suitable?
- A. Convex lens
- B. Concave lens
- C. Plane mirror
- D. Thick glass slab
Answer: B. Concave lens
This defect is myopia, which is corrected using a concave lens. It diverges the incoming light so the image forms on the retina.
