1. After tracing the path of a ray of light through a 3. The clear sky appears blue because
glass prism a student marked the angle of
incidence (i), angle of refraction (r), angle
of emergence (e) and the angle of deviation
(D) as shown in the diagram. The correctly
marked angles are?

(A) blue light gets absorbed in the atmosphere.

(B) ultraviolet radiations are absorbed in the
atmosphere.
(C) violet and blue lights get scattered more
than lights of all other colours by the
(A) (i) and (r) atmosphere.
(B) (i) and (e) (D) light of all other colour is scattered more
(C) (i), (e) and (D) than the violet and blue colour lights by the
(D) (i), (r) and (e) atmosphere.

2. Twinkling of stars is due to atmospheric 4. The danger signals installed at the top of tall
buildings are red in colour. these can be easily
seen from a distance because among all other
colours, the red light

(A) dispersion of light by water droplets (A) is scattered the most by smoke or fog
(B) refraction of light by different layers of (B) is scattered the least by smoke or fog.
varying refractive indices (C) is absorbed the most by smoke or fog
(C) scattering of light by dust particles (D) moves fastest in air.
(D) internal reflection of light by clouds

significantly to the reddish appearance of the colours is called
sun at sunrise or sunset?

(A) refraction (B) reflation

(C) dispersion (D) Tyndall effect

(A) Dispersion of light

8. Reason behind advance sunrise and delayed
(B) Scattering of light
sunset
(C) Total internal reflection of light
(D) Reflection of light from the earth

6. In the following diagram, the path of a ray of

light passing through a glass prism is shown. In
this diagram the angle of incidence, the angle of
emergence and the angle of deviation
respectively are (select the correct option)

(A) atmospheric refraction

Hint and Solutions

1. (B) 6. (D)
Angle of deviation is the angle between the Angle of deviation is the angle between the
incident ray and the emergent ray while incident ray and the emergent ray, angle of
angle of refraction is the angle between the incidence is the angle between the incident
refracted ray and the normal at the point of ray and the normal at the point of
incidence. incidence, angle of emergence is the angle
between the emergent ray and the normal at
the point of Incidence.
2. (B)
Stars twinkle due to the Atmospheric
refraction 7. (C)
The splitting of white light into it’s
constituent colours is called Dispersion
3. (C)
Blue and violet have shortest wavelength
and thus scattered most by our atmospheric 8. (A)
particles. Advance sunrise and delayed sunset
happens due to the Atmospheric refraction.
4. (B)
Red has maximum wavelength and thus 9. (D)
scattered least. In Hypermetropia, converging ability of
our eye lens decreases.
5. (B)
Sun at sunset and sunrise appears reddish
due to the scattering of light.
