C Correct answer
Explanation

Myopia is the inability to see objects clearly when they're too far away. People with myopia can often read or see items within a few feet of their face, but distant objects appear blurred. This condition usually develops in an eyeball that's too long from front to back.

The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned.

Multiple choice physics light, shadows and images introduction to reflection of light light and sight images in plane mirror

The phenomenon that leads to the bouncing back of light rays is called-

  1. Diffraction

  2. Reflection

  3. Dispersion

  4. Refraction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
$ \bf{Diffraction} $ is the phenomenon of bending of light waves around the corners of an obstacle or aperture, placed in the path of light beam. 

$ \bf{Reflection} $ is the phenomenon in which light rays on striking a polished surface(such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium. 

$\bf{Dispersion} $ is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its component colours (VIBGYOR) on passing through a glass prism.

$ \bf{Refraction} $ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.

The phenomenon in which light that strikes a surface is thrown back into the same medium is called -

  1. reflection

  2. reflex action

  3. refraction

  4. regression

A Correct answer
Explanation
$ \bf{Reflection} $ is the phenomenon in which light rays on striking a polished surface(such as a mirror) bounce back or are sent back into the same medium. 

A $\bf{Reflex\ action} $ is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus.
 

$ \bf{Refraction} $ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.

$ \bf{Regression} $ is a technique for determining the statistical relationship between two or more variables where a change in a dependent variable depends on the change in one or more independent variables.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION A.

The bouncing of a beam of light from a polished surface in some other direction is called -

  1. refraction

  2. reflection

  3. dispersion

  4. scattering

$ \bf{Refraction} $ of light is the phenomenon of bending of light or change in the direction of light, when it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another.

$\bf{Dispersion} $ is the phenomenon of splitting of white light into its component colours (VIBGYOR) on passing through a glass prism.

$\bf{Scattering} $ is the phenomenon by which a beam of light is redirected or deflected in many different directions, when it passes through an imperfect medium, due to interaction with the particles of the medium.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.
