Olympiad Test: Light, Shadows & Reflections - Question 3

Which of the following explains why air is not visible?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Light, Shadows & Reflections - Question 3

Air is transparent because air contains so few atoms, light waves run into very few of them when they shine through air. The molecules of air are smaller than the wavelength of the light. Due to this reason, particles of air weakly interact with visible light and reflect little or no light to our eyes. 
Transparent material allows all the light to pass through it. In other words transmission is the property of light to permit the passage of light with some or none of the incident light being absorbed or scattered in the process. Since, air is transparent, it transmits almost whole of light.

A girl is 4 m away from the plane mirror. If she moves few steps closer to the mirror, what will happen to the image size in the mirror? 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Light, Shadows & Reflections - Question 4

When a person moves closer to a plane mirror, the size of their image in the mirror does not change. This phenomenon occurs because the size of the image in a plane mirror is always the same as the size of the object, regardless of the distance between the object and the mirror.

Therefore, the correct answer is: c) The size of image will be the same.

Olympiad Test: Light, Shadows & Reflections - Question 11

You are standing upright in a room in front of a vertical mirror. In this mirror, you can see from your position, only the upper two- third part of your body. You wish to see the full image of your body in the mirror. Which combination of the following three courses of action will achieve this?
I. Move away from the mirror 
II. Move towards the mirror 
III. Use a mirror whose height will allow you to see your full image 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Light, Shadows & Reflections - Question 11

The correct answer is 3. Either I or III.

Explanation:

  • I. Move away from the mirror: As you move farther away from the mirror, the amount of your body that you can see in the mirror increases. This happens because the angle of view widens as the distance increases, allowing more of your body to be reflected in the mirror.

  • II. Move towards the mirror: Moving closer to the mirror will actually decrease the amount of your body you can see because the angle of view narrows. Therefore, this action would not help you see your full image.

  • III. Use a mirror whose height will allow you to see your full image: Using a taller mirror that reflects your entire body is an obvious solution to seeing your full image.

So, either moving away from the mirror (I) or using a larger mirror (III) would allow you to see your full image.
