MCQ Tests with Answers for Class 8 Science Chapter 13
Q1
Consider the following statements and choose the correct one:
[A]. The objects which emit their own light are called luminous object.
[B]. The objects which do not emit their own light are called non luminous object.
[C]. We can see the non-luminous objects because they reflect light (received from a luminous object) into our eyes.

Q3
Read the following sentences carefully, and choose the correct one:
[A]. The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called incident ray.
[B]. The point at which the incident ray strikes the mirror is called the point of incidence.
[C]. The ray of light which is sent back by the mirror is called the reflected ray.
[D]. All the above.
Q4
We can see a non-luminous object when the light:
[A]. Emitted by the object falls on the eye.
[B]. Is reflected from the object towards our eye.
[C]. Completely passes through the object.
[D]. Gets completely absorbed by the object.
Q5
Paheli is writing some statements, choose the correct statement and help her:
[A]. The normal is a line which is perpendicular to the mirror surface at the point of incidence.
[B]. The angle between incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence.
[C]. The angle between reflected ray and normal is called the angle of reflection.
[D]. All the above.

[B]. In regular reflection, a parallel beam of incident light is reflected as a parallel beam in one direction.
[C]. Regular reflection of light occurs from smooth surfaces like that of a plane mirror or highly polished metal surfaces.
[D]. All the above.
Q8
Badal appeared in class test but he confused to know the correct statement. Would you help him to know that?
[A]. A sheet of paper produces diffuse reflection of light.
[B]. In a diffuse reflection, a parallel beam of incident light is reflected in different directions.
[C]. The diffuse reflection of light is not due to the failure of the laws of reflection.
