Question 28.
Is the reflection of light here regular or irregular?
Answer:
Irregular

Question 29.
Is the distribution of sunlight to all regions made possible by this type of scattering. Discuss.
Answer:
Yes, scattering is the partial and irregular reflection of light. The colours in sunlight undergo scattering when they fall on the particles in the atmosphere. Sunlight reaches in the rooms and under the trees by this method.

Violet → indigo
blue → green → yellow
orange → red

Question 32.
What was the final colour observed on the screen?
Answer:

Question 33.
Which component colour in white light does undergo maximum scattering?
Answer:
Blue has the maximum scattering

Question 34.
During sunset, the horizon appears to have red colour. What may be the reason?
Answer:
During sunrise and sunset, light reaching us from the horizon has to travel long distances through the atmosphere. During this long journey, colours of shorter wavelength would be almost fully lost due to scattering. Then, the red light which undergoes only less amount of scattering decides the colour of the horizon. That is why the sun appears red during sunset and sunrise.

Text Book Page No. 144

Question 35.
Which are the occasions when sun-light has to travel greater distance through the atmosphere before reaching the eyes of ait observer on the earth?
Answer:
Morning and evening.

Answer:
Colour in it undergoes maximum scattering: Violet
Colour in it undergoes minimum scattering: Red

Question 37.

Answer:
Red, it has highest wavelength and least scattering.

Question 38.
The western horizon remains reddish for some more time even after sunset. Why?
Answer:
During sunset, the sunlight travels maximum distance through the atmosphere to reach in our eyes. So red also undergoes scattering. So the horizon appears red.

Question 39.
Can you now guess why red colour has been given to the tail lamps of vehicles and signal lights? Discuss and note it down in your science diary.
Answer:
The primary reason why the colour red is used for danger signals is that red light is scattered the least by air molecules. So red light is able to travel the longest distance through fog, rain, and the like.

Let Us Assess

Question 1.
How is the condition of the ciliary muscles while watching a distant object? How does this influence the focal length of the eye lens?
Answer:
While looking at far objects the ciliary muscles are relaxed and the curvature of the lens decreases. The focal length of the lens increases.

Question 2.
A child sitting at the backbench of a classroom is unable to see the letters on the board clearly. What is the defect of the eye of the child? How can it be remedied? Draw its ray diagram.
Answer:
Myopia or Nearsightedness. This can be rectified by using a concave lens of suitable power.

Question 3.
A person is not able to see objects beyond 1.3 m. What remedy can you suggest for this defect?
Answer:
Myopia or Nearsightedness. This can be rectified by using a concave lens of suitable power.

Question 4.
In what colour does the sky appear for an astronaut?
Answer:
Black

Question 5.
Red light is used as signal lamps to indicate danger. Explain.
Answer:
The primary reason why the colour red is used for danger signals is that red light is scattered the least by air molecules. So red light is able to travel the longest distance through fog, rain, and the a like.

Question 6.
What is the reason for using yellow light as fog lamps?
Answer:
Yellow lights are strictly used for fog situations, and for construction, so you can tell what is what on the road. Yellow has high wavelength, so yellow light is scattered the least by air molecules.

Question 7.
Which is the phenomenon behind dispersion of light?
a. Reflection
b. Refraction
c. Tyndal Effect
d. Scattering
Answer:
b. Refraction

Question 8.
During dispersion, different colours deviate differently. Explain why.
Answer:
The rate of refraction for different col-ours during dispersion is different due to the difference in wavelength of the colours. The rate of refraction decreases with increase in wavelength. Dispersion. is the phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours.

Question 9.
The telescope called ‘Chandra X-ray Observatory’ is placed in the outer space. What is the advantage of placing it there? Explain with reference to the scattering of light in the atmosphere.
Answer:
Light can reach the telescope which is kept in space without scattering as there are no gases and tiny particles in space. So we can observe the heavenly bodies clearly there. The pictures may not be clear on earth due to the scattering of light.

Question 6.
The figure shows a ray of light falling obliquely on a droplet of water for the formation of rainbow.

a. Copy the figure and complete the unfinished part.
b. What is the phenomenon that took place inside the droplet?
c. What is the colour of ‘X’?
d. What is the reason behind the red app-earing at the outer edge of a rainbow?
Answer:

b. Internal reflection
c. Violet
d. Sunlight undergoes refraction and internal reflection while passing through drops of water. All the drops that appear in the same colour are seen in the same arc. Thus red having highter wavelength is seen in the outer edge at higher angle.

Question 7.
Analyse the following statements and find out the reason behind them.
a. Stars can be seen even in day time while viewed from the moon
b. Raindrops falling down during rain appear like a glass rod.
c. A rainbow is seen in the shape of a circle when viewed from a height.
d. The sky of cities mostly appears in grey colour.
Answer:
a. There is no scattering for the light around the moon since there is no atmosphere around it. Hence the sky of moon appears dark.
b. Raindrops come down faster during rain. The distance travelled by a drop in 1/16 of a second appears like a glass rod due to persistence of vision.
c. When viewed from a height the observer can see points at 42.70 upwards, downwards as well as sideways. Hence rainbow is seen as a circle.
d. In cities there will be large particles in the atmosphere. Hence all colours of light scatter equally.

Two teams A and Bare taking part in a volley ball competition held on a ground illuminated by a sodium vapour lamp (yellow light). Team A is wearing white jersey and blue shorts while Team B is wearing yellow jersey and black shorts.
a. Can you distinguish between the teams based on the colour of their dress?
b. Justify your answer.
Answer:
a. Cannot be distinguished
b. In yellow light the white jersey and yell-ow jersey appear in yellow colour. This is because both white and yellow surfaces can reflect yellow light. The black shorts appears black itself and blue shorts appears dark since both of them absorb yellow light.

Question 9.
A disc painted with different colours is shown

a. Which colour is X if the disc appears white on rotating fast?
b. Why did the disc appear white on being rotated fast?
c. In what colour will the disc appear if green light alone is made to fall on the disc when it is being rotated fast?

b. If there are differences between the figures explain the reason
Answer:

b. There is only one colour in laser. Sunlight is the composite light of seven colours and so undergoes refraction

Question 31.
Explain the reason for the following.
a. At the time of sunset, western horizon is seen red.
b. Sky in the moon ha» a dark colour
Answer:
a. At the time of sunset, Light rays have to travel very long distances through air. Hence Light rays are scattered. Light rays like blue with shorter wavelength get lost due to scattering but rays with longer wavelength remain because it gets less scattering.
b. In moon there is no atmosphere and therefore scattering of light does not take place.

Question 32.
The figure shows a ray of light falling obliquely on a drop of water in atmosphere

a. Copy the diagram and complete it show-ing the internal reflection and refractions.
b. How does the sunlight appear as rainbow in water droplets?
Answer:

b. All the water droplets of the same colour appear to be in a same arc of a circle. The rays of light incident on the water droplets must be parallel to the line of vision. Each colour ray emerging from the water drop makes a definite angle from 40.8° to 42.7°. Red makes the higher angle of 42.7° and violet ma-kes a lower angle of 40.8°. Hence red colour is seen at the outer edge and violet colour at the inner edge. The other colours are seen in between depending on their wavelengths.
