  1. A cylinder with mirrors containing loose colored objects such as beads, pebbles, and bits of glass

  2. A cylinder with mirrors

  3. A cylinder containing loose colored objects such as beads, pebbles, and bits of glass

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Answer:-$ A option

A kaleidoscope is an optical instrument, typically a cylinder with mirrors containing loose, colored objects such as beads or pebbles and bits of glass. As the viewer looks into one end, lightening the other end creates a colorful pattern, due to repeated reflection in the mirrors.

In kaleidoscope the part containing objects to be viewed is known as :

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

All objects are loosely placed on other end of Kaleidoscope which is known as Object chamber

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Brass tube,stained glass and wood all are used to make kaleidoscopes. We can also make it at home with plastic, paper towel and some pieces of glass , beads and colorful items.

Explanation:

Teleidoscope is a type of kaleidoscope with a lens which create patterns without any other objects in the tube.

An object is kept between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle $120$ from each other; calculate the number of images which are formed if the object is not on the bisector/on the bisector $3$

evs magic with mirrors kaleidoscope uses of plane mirror reflected light can be reflected again

  1. $\displaystyle \frac {3}{3}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac {3}{2}$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac {2}{2}$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac {2}{3}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given: An object is kept between two plane mirrors inclined at an angle 120 from each other

To find the ratio of number of images which are formed if the object is not on the bisector and on the bisector
Solution:
If there are two plane mirrors inclined to each other at an angle $\theta$, the number of images of a point object formed are determined as follows:

If $\left(\dfrac {360^\circ}\theta\right)$ is odd integer (say $m$) number of images formed
$n = m$, if the object is not on the bisector of mirrors
$n = (m – 1)$, if the object is on the bisector of mirrors.

So, when $\theta=120^\circ$, we get
$m=\dfrac {360}{120}=3$
So,
$\dfrac {\text{ number of images which are formed if the object is not on the bisector}}{\text{ number of images which are formed if the object is on the bisector}}=\dfrac {3}{3-1}=\dfrac 32$
