Answer: False

 
Very Short Answer :
 
Question. Where refraction of the light takes place? 
Answer: The refraction of the light takes place at the boundary between the two media.
 
Question. What is the optically rarer medium? 
Answer: A medium in which the speed of the light is more is called optically rarer medium.

Question. What is light?
Answer: Light is a form of energy. It brings the sensation of sight. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation. It also provides us means of communication (fibre-optics).

Question. What is Spherical mirror?
Answer: A reflecting surface which is of the form of a sphere (hollow) in which inner or outer surface is reflecting.

Question. When object is placed at centre of centre of curvature of concave mirror, where is the image formed?
Answer: At C.

Question. What focal length can be assigned to a plane mirror?
Answer: Infinity.

Question. Can any spherical surface act as a reflector?
Answer: Yes, polished surface can be better reflectors.

Question. What is beam?
Answer: A bundle of rays originating from the same source of light in a particular direction is called beam of light.

Question. Explain why a ray of light passing through the centre of curvature of a concave mirror, gets reflected along the same path.
Answer: The ray passing through the centre of curvature incident to the mirror along its normal, so ∠i = ∠r = 0. Therefore, the ray retraces its path.

Question. A concave mirror forms a sharp image of a distant tree. What name is given to the distance between the concave mirror and screen on which sharp image is formed?
Answer: Focal length.

Question. For what position of the object does a concave mirror forms a real image which is highly enlarged?
Answer: At F.

Question. For what position of object, a concave mirror forms a real image equal to size of object?
Answer: When object is placed at the centre of curvature (C) same size real image is formed by concave mirror.

Question. What is angle of emergence? 
Answer: The angle which the emergent ray makes with the normal is called angle of emergence.
 
Question. Why stick under water appears bent? 
Answer: Due to the refraction of light coming from the part of the stick that is under water the stick appears bent.
 
Question. What is the optically denser medium?
Answer: A medium in which the speed of light is less is called optically denser medium.
