light in air?

11. The focal length of eye lens increases when eye muscles
a. Are relaxed and lens becomes thinner
b. Contract and lens becomes thicker

b. A person with hypermetropia can see nearby objects clearly
c. A person with myopia can see the nearby objects clearly

16. The images distance from the eye lens in the normal eye when we increase the distance of an object from
eye

17. The sky appears dark to passengers flying at very high altitudes mainly because
a. Scattering of light is not enough at such heights
b. There is no atmosphere at great heights

b. Red light is least scattered in the atmosphere
c. Scattering of light takes place as various colours of white light travel with different speed in air.
d. The fine particles in the atmospheric air scatter the blue light more strongly than red. So the scattered
blue light enters in our eyes

ASSERTION AND REASONS BASED QUESTIONS (DIRECTIONS)
In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the
correct choice as:
a. If both Assertion and Reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
b. If both Assertion and Reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c. If assertion is true but reason is false
d. If both assertion and reason are false.
21. Assertion: Stars would not twinkle if we viewed them from the moon.
Reason: Stars appear to twinkle due to atmospheric refraction of star light.
22. Assertion: The phenomenon of scattering of light by the colloidal particles gives rise to tyndall effect
Reason: The colour of the scattered light depend on the size of the scattering particles
23. Assertion: A normal human eye can clearly see all the objects beyond certain minimum distance.
Reason: The human eye has capacity of adjusting the focal length of eye lens.
24. Assertion: A rainbow is sometimes seen in the sky in rainy season only when observer’s back is towards the
sun.
Reason: Internal reflection in water droplets caused dispersion and the final rays are in backwards direction.
25. Assertion: Myopia is the defect of the eye in which only nearer objects are seen by the eye.
Reason: The eyeball is elongated
26. Assertion: Hypermetropia is the defect of the eye in which only farther objects are seen.
Reason: Hypermetropia is corrected by using converging lens.
27. Assertion: Danger signals are made of red colour.
Reason: Velocity of red light in air is maximum, so signals are visible even in dark
28. Assertion: The sky looks dark and black instead of blue in outer space.
Reason: No atmosphere containing air in the outer space to scatter sunlight.
29. Assertion: Myopia is due to the increased converging power of the eye lens
Reason: Myopia can be corrected by using spectacles made from concave lenses
30. Assertion: When we see an object, the image formed on the retina is real and inverted
Reason: If the magnification of a system is less than 1, then the image formed is inverted
