Ans. The right side of the object appears to be the left side of its image and vice-versa This is called lateral inversion.

Ql6. Give one example to show that light travels in a straight line?

Ans. When sunlight falls on a solid object like a building or a stone, a shadow is formed behind the solid object (opaque object) .This shows that light travels in a straight line.

Ql7. Distinguish between transparent, translucent and opaque materials?

Ans. Transparent materials: which allow light to pass through them and through which we can see clearly are known as transparent materials.

Translucent materials: substances through which light can pass partially and through which we can't see clearly are called translucent materials.

Opaque materials: substances which don't allow light to pass through them at all are called opaque materials.

Ql8. Can the opaque object cast shadow?

Ans. In the presence of light, opaque objects act as obstacles to propagate (travel) light and form a shadow behind them

QUESTIONS

Ql. How are shadows formed?

Ans. Light coming from the source of light falling on the objects gets obstructed by the objects and does not go ahead. So, a shadow is formed.

Q2. How can we protect our eyes while glaring at a strong source of light?

Ans. By placing our hand in front of our eyes, light coming from the source does not fall on our eyes directly. (Since we know light travels in a straight line.)

Q3. What happens when light falls on an object?

Ans. l. It is almost completely transmitted through the object.
2. Only one part of it may be transmitted and the rest is absorbed or spread out.
3. It may not be allowed to pass through at all.

Q4. Consider a wooden stick about half a meter long. Fix one end of it in open ground where there are no trees and buildings near it. Look its shadow in the morning and mark its points of shadow. Note the direction of sun with respect to stick. Where is shadow of the object formed?

Ans. The shadow of the object is formed in the direction opposite to the side of the source light i.e. it is formed opposite to the direction of the sun. This activity also shows that shadow moves according to the movement of the sources of light and the length of the shadow changes with time and the shadow of an object is formed in the direction opposite to that of the source of light.
