Questions Related to regular and irregular reflection

Which of the following can form image?

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. Diffused reflection

  2. Irregular reflection

  3. Regular reflection

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Images are formed by regular reflection. Diffused or irregular reflections can not form images.

Mark the statement which is true for diffused reflection:

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. Diffused reflection is due to failure of laws of reflection

  2. It is caused due to irregularities in the reflecting surface

  3. When the incident light is diffused in nature it causes diffused reflection

  4. All are true

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Diffused reflection is not due to failure of laws of reflection but it is due to irregularities in the reflecting surface, like that of cardboard.

Why we are not able to see our image on a cardboard even though it reflects light?

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. Because cardboard does not shine like mirror

  2. Because cardboard is not as durable as mirror

  3. Because cardboard's surface is irregular

  4. All

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

We can"t see our image on a cardboard because cardboard"s surface is rough and the reflection occurring on uneven surface is irregular reflection. So, the rays, after reflection, move to different directions. Images are not formed due to irregular reflections.

Which of the following is /are type of reflection ?

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. Regular reflection

  2. Irregular reflection

  3. Diffused reflection

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are two kinds of reflection
i)regular reflection
ii)irregular reflection

When light is incident on a polished surface ___________ reflection takes place.

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. regular

  2. irregular

  3. both (a) and (b)

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Regular reflection takes place when a light beam is incident on a smooth surface which is highly polished.

Which surfaces will reflects most of the light falling on them?

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. Flat surface

  2. Shiny surface

  3. Smooth surface

  4. Opaque surface

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A perfect smooth and shiny surface will reflect most of the light falling on them.

A bus driver is reversing his bus at a speed $8 m s^{-1}$. The rear view mirror of a bus is a plane mirror. The driver sees in his rear view mirror the image of a car parked behind his bus. The speed at which the image of the car appears to approach the driver will be

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. $2 m s^{-1}$

  2. $4 m s^{-1}$

  3. $8 m s^{-1}$

  4. $16 m s^{-1}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The speed at which the image of the car appears to approach the driver will be $(2 \times 8) m s^{-1} = 16 m s^{-1}$ because rear view mirror is a plane mirror.

Diffused reflection

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. may produce image

  2. never produce image

  3. must produce image

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Irregular reflection obeys laws of reflection .

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

All type of reflection obeys laws of reflection.


Given statement is $True$.

Answer-(A)

Reflection from a smooth surface is called __________ reflection.

physics reflection of light and shadow regular and irregular reflection regular and diffused reflection laws of reflection

  1. Regular

  2. Irregular

  3. Multiple

  4. Total internal

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Regular reflection is reflection in which a parallel beam of incident rays is reflected as a parallel beam.

Reflection from smooth surface is regular reflection.

Answer-(A)
