Class 8 Science Chapter 13 MCQ

The point at which the incident ray strikes the mirror is called the point of incidence. The angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We can see a non-luminous object (object that does not produce its own light), when the light reflected by the object enters our eyes.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We know that a plane mirror forms only a single image of an object placed in front of it. When two plane mirrors are kept inclined at an angle, they can form multiple images of an object. This is because the image of an object formed in one plane mirror acts as a object for the other plane mirror. Number of images formed = 360 degree / x – 1

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual or unreal and it is also created behind the mirror. The image formed in a plane mirror is the same distance behind the mirror and the same size as the object as the object in front of it. And the image formed by a plane mirror is erect and always laterally inverted.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The objects which do not emit their own light are called “non luminous” objects. Actually, the moon the non-luminous objects cannot make their own light. The moon, earth, table, chair, book, trees, plants, flowers, human beings, mirror, diamond are some of the examples of non-luminous objects.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We know that a plane mirror forms only a single image of an object placed in front of it. When two plane mirrors are kept inclined at an angle, they can form multiple images of an object. This is because the image of an object formed in one plane mirror acts as object for the other plane mirror. Number of images formed = 360 degree / x – 1 = 360 / 90 – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3

Auditory nerve is not a part of the human eye. Explanation: Auditory nerve is a nerve bundle that transmits sound from cochlea to the brain. Cochlea is a auditory sense organ found at the back of each ears.

The shape of the lens is changed by ciliary muscles so that the image forms at a sharp focus at the retina. The lens becomes thicker to focus at near objects and becomes thinner to focus at distant objects.

The colored part of our eyes is called pupil. Iris control the size of pupil. The pupils expand and contract according to the light entering the eyes. When light is less/low, then the muscles of the pupil relaxes and it becomes larger. When light is bright/more, then the muscles of the pupil contract and it becomes smaller. The shape of the pupil varies for different animals

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. If the incident ray makes an angle of 65 degree with the surface of plane mirror, than the angle of incidence can be calculated as: Angle of incidence = 90 – angle made with the plane mirror = 90 – 65 = 25 degree. Since, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, therefore the required angle of reflection = 25 degree

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We can clearly view an object only when image is clearly reflected on retina. Our eyes focus distinct and near objects and reflects the image on retina. When eyes need to focus distinct object, then ciliary muscles reflex which increases the focal length. The eye lens converges the light and the objects are said to be unaccommodated. When eyes need to focus nearby object, then ciliary muscles relax which decreases the focal length. The eye lens diverges the light and the objects are said to be accommodated. The accommodation power of eyes is as close as 25 cm and as far as infinity.

The size of the pupil of the eye is adjusted by “Iris”. The pupil of our eye is an entrance for the light rays to enter our eyes and give us the sensation of sight. If too much light enters our eyes, it can be dangerous for eyes. Whenever the light is strong, the pupil shrinks in order to reduce the entrance of light and protect our eyes. If too less light enters our eyes, we don’t get a clear vision. Whenever the light is weak, the pupil expands in order to increase the entrance of light and improve the vision. This is how pupil of the eye changes its size to adjust for different amount of light.

The medical condition in which the lens of eye of a person becomes progressively cloudy resulting in blurred vision is called cataract. Cataract develops when the eye-lens of a person becomes cloudy or even opaque due to the formation of a membrane over it. Cataract decreases the vision of eye gradually. The vision of the person can be restored after getting surgery done on the having cataract. The eye defect called cataract cannot be corrected by any type of spectacle lenses.

The defect of an eye in which it cannot see the distant objects clearly is called myopia. A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The impression or sensation remains on the retina for about 1/16th of a second even after removal of the object.
