Q3
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.

[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.
Q6
Boojho is doing his homework which is given by his teacher. Would you help him to choose the correct sentences?
[A]. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal, all lie in the same plane.
[B]. The angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence.
[C]. If we change the angle of incidence, the angle of reflection will also change accordingly.
[D]. All the above.
Q7
Which of the following statements is correct regarding rods and cones in the human eye?

Q8
Payal is completed her science chapter where she wrote some statements. She wants to know whether the statements are correct or not? Payel wants to take help from you:
[A]. A ray of light which is incident normally on a mirror is reflected back along the same path.
[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.

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.
[D]. All the above.
