Class 6 Science Chapter 8 MCQ

Here, are all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We cannot see anything in detail through a translucent material. Clouds are also translucent objects. Though we cannot see the sun through clouds on a cloudy day but is still there is some sunlight all around. This is because being translucent, clouds allows some of the sunlight to pass through them due to which there is light on earth even on a cloudy day.

The moon is a non-luminous object which does not have its own light. But the sun is a luminous source of light. Actually, we can see the moon because it reflects sunlight into our eyes. In generally, when sunlight falls on the surface of moon, then some of the sunlight is reflected by the moon towards the earth. And to us it appears as if the light is being given out by the moon itself. But in reality, moonlight is the sunlight which is reflected from the surface of moon. Thus, moon behaves as a cold, non-luminous mirror. It is a reflector of sunlight.

The periscope is a device which gives us the higher view than normal. By using a periscope, we can see the objects on the other side of a high wall without having to climb over the wall. A soldier sitting in a trench can observe the enemy activities above the ground by using a periscope. Actually, a periscope works on the reflection of light from the two plane mirrors angle two parallel to one another.

Here, are all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, are all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Our shadow is shortest at noon. The length of our shadow goes on decreasing till noon. The length of our shadow starts increasing in the afternoon. And our shadow becomes very long in the evening and just before sunset. As the sun rises in the sky, the shadow of a building shortens.

Those materials which allow all the light to pass through them are called transparent materials. The materials like glass, polythene, air, water and groundnut oil are transparent materias. They allow almost all the light to pass through them. Remember, glass is a transparent material which allows all the light coming from the material kept inside it.

The materials like butter paper, oil paper, tissue paper, sheet of white cotton, ground glass (frosted glass), muddy water and clouds are translucent materials. They allow only a part of the light falling on their surface to pass through them. As we cannot see clearly through a translucent material.

Here, are all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

An object which does not give out its own light is called a non-luminous object. As we know that mirror is a non-luminous object which does not have its own light. Actually, when sun light falls on the surface of mirror, then all the sunlight is reflected or sent by the mirror towards the certain direction. And to us, it appears as if the light is being given out by the mirror itself. But in reality, mirror light is the sunlight which is reflected from the surface of mirror. Thus, mirror behaves as a the non-luminous. It works as a reflector of sunlight just like the moon.

Our shadow is shortest at noon. The length of our shadow goes on decreasing till noon. The length of our shadow starts increasing in the afternoon. And our shadow becomes very long in the evening and just before sunset.

The shadow of an object has the different characteristics as the shadow of an object is erect. The shadow can be smaller than the object, equal to the object or bigger than the object. The shadow of an object is real. Irrespective of the color of the object, the shadow is always black.

Here, are all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The bird of obstructs the sunlight to form shadow on the nearby ground. But when the same bird is flying high up in the air, even then the bird of obstructs the sunlight falling on it but its shadow is not seen on the ground because the ground is very, very far below the bird.

Our shadow is shortest at noon. The length of our shadow goes on decreasing till noon. The length of our shadow starts increasing in the afternoon. And our shadow becomes very long in the evening or early morning and just before sunset. As the sun rises in the sky, the shadow of a building shortens.

The shadow of an object is real because it can be formed on a screen.

The image in a plane mirror is laterally inverted or sideways reversed with respect to the object.

The image formed in a plane mirror is erect or upright.

Here, are all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Real images can be formed by a curved mirror known as concave mirror. And a concave mirror can form a virtual image only, when the object is very close to it.

The table top must be made of glass sheet because only a glass sheet can show the images of both the students, which can be seen by both of them.
