Sci 6

 

I. Answer the following in one word or one sentence

  1. Direction of propagation of light:
    Light travels in a straight line.

  2. Four letters whose mirror images are same:
    A, H, I, M

  3. What is white light?
    White light is a mixture of seven colours.

  4. Number of colours seen through a prism:
    Seven colours

  5. What acts as tiny prisms in a rainbow?
    Water droplets


II. Answer the following in short

1. What is a virtual image? Give one example.

A virtual image is an image that cannot be obtained on a screen.
Example: Image formed by a plane mirror.


2. Any three characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror

  • Image is virtual and erect
  • Image is of the same size as the object
  • Image is formed at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front

3. What is lateral inversion? Give one example.

Lateral inversion means left side appears right and right appears left in a mirror.
Example: The word AMBULANCE is written in reverse on vehicles.


4. What happens when sunlight passes through a prism? What is a spectrum?

When sunlight passes through a prism, it splits into seven colours.
The band of seven colours formed is called a spectrum.


5. How many colours are there in white light? Name them.

There are seven colours in white light:
Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red (VIBGYOR)


III. Differentiate between

1. Real Image and Virtual Image

Real Image Virtual Image
Can be obtained on a screen Cannot be obtained on a screen
Formed by actual meeting of rays Formed by apparent meeting of rays
Usually inverted Always erect

2. Plane Mirror and Spherical Mirror

Plane Mirror Spherical Mirror
Flat reflecting surface Curved reflecting surface
Image is always virtual Can form real or virtual image
Same size image Image size may change

IV. Answer the following in long

1. Activity to demonstrate rectilinear propagation of light

Aim: To show that light travels in a straight line.

Activity:

  • Take three cardboard sheets and make a small hole at the center of each.
  • Place them vertically in a straight line.
  • Light a candle behind the first cardboard.
  • Look through the holes.

Observation:
The candle flame is visible only when all holes are in a straight line.

Conclusion:
Light travels in a straight line.


2. Concave mirror: image formation at different positions

Object at different positions:

Object Position Image Position Nature of Image
At infinity At focus (F) Real, inverted, very small
Beyond C Between F and C Real, inverted, diminished
At C At C Real, inverted, same size
Between C and F Beyond C Real, inverted, enlarged
At F At infinity Highly enlarged
Between F and pole Behind mirror Virtual, erect, enlarged

(Diagrams should be drawn neatly in the exam.)


3. Activity to show white light has seven colours

Activity:

  • Allow a beam of sunlight to pass through a glass prism.
  • Place a white screen behind the prism.

Observation:
Seven colours appear on the screen.

Conclusion:
White light is made up of seven colours.


4. Types of lenses and their uses

(a) Convex Lens

  • Thicker at the centre
  • Converges light rays

Uses:

  • Magnifying glass
  • Camera
  • Microscope
  • Spectacles (for long-sightedness)

(b) Concave Lens

  • Thinner at the centre
  • Diverges light rays

Uses:

  • Spectacles (for short-sightedness)
  • Peepholes in doors

V. Case-based Question (General Answer)

Lenses are classified into two types: convex lens and concave lens.

  • A convex lens converges light rays and can form real or virtual images.
  • A concave lens diverges light rays and always forms virtual images.
    These lenses are used in daily life in spectacles, cameras, microscopes, and telescopes.
