  1. Fire

  2. Sun

  3. Star 

  4. Tree

Fire, Sun and star have produce visible  light, But Tree do not produce visible light So Tree will be non-luminous body.

A substance through which light can pass completely is called a/an

  1. transparent body

  2. translucent body

  3. opaque body

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A substance is said to be transparent if light can pass easily through it. Example: glass

A substance is said to be translucent if light passes only partially through it. Example: Butter paper
A substance is said to be opaque if light does not pass through it. so, we can't see through these objects. Example: paper

An object looks red when seen through a piece of red glass. What is the actual colour of the object ?

  3. Red or green

  4. Black


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An object looks red when seen through apiece of red glass, hence the color of object is red as it doesn't matter what color the glass is as the refractive index of the medium is constant, hence the object will look of its original color.

  1. is a nearly perfectly transparent substance

  2. neither absorbs nor reflects light

  3. transmits whole of light

  4. all of the above are correct


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The absorptive capacity of air is very low, hence it transmits most of the light rays passing through it.

Air is not visible because it

  1. is nearly perfectly transparent substance

  2. neither absorbs nor reflects light

  3. transmits whole of light

  4. all the above are correct


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Air is not visible because it is transparent medium. As from definition of transparent medium, their reflectance and emitance is zero , hence it transmits all the light.

Which of the following is a transparent?

  1. Gold

  2. Glass

  3. Stone

  4. Plastic


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Objects which allow the light to pass through them completely without any obstruction are called $ \bf{transparent} $ objects.

Objects which allow the light to pass through them partially are called $ \bf{translucent} $ objects.

Objects which do not allow the light to pass through them are called $\bf{opaque} $ objects.

Glass is a $\bf{transparent} $ object because it allows light to pass through it completely and doesn't block any light. 
Gold and Stone, on the other hand, are $ \bf{opaque} $ objects. While, Plastic is $ \bf{translucent} $.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.

  2. Cyan

  3. Yellow
