QUESTIONS ON LIGHT
Q1. Light is also known as
a) Magnetic Coupling
b)Electromagnetic Radiation
b) Wave Motion
d)None of the Above
A: b) Electromagnetic Radiation
There are both electric and magnetic properties to light. Physicists call
light an electromagnetic energy. All the different wavelengths of light
make up the EM spectrum. We see visible light, but there are many
different types of light energy out there.
Q2. Light is a series of particles moving in a wavelike direction. True
or False?
A. True
The physical structure of light has two parts. Light moves in a wavelike
manner with wave frequency and wavelength. You will find tiny particles
(generally called photons) in those waves. Those photons are little packets
of energy.
Q3: What is the speed of light in vacuum?
A: 3X108 m/s or 299,792,458 metres per second
Q4: What are the two characteristic behaviour of light?
A: Electric and magnetic characters
Q5: What is the approximate wave length and name the light which
human can see?
A: Visible light, has a wave length in the range of about 380 nm to
about 740 nm
Q6: What do you call for mechanism by which light is produced by
animal
A: Bioluminescence
Q7: What do you call for the light produced by electrical and optical
phenomenon?
A: Electroluminescence (EL) is an optical phenomenon and electrical
phenomenon in which a material emits light in response to the passage of
an electric current or to a strong electric field.
Q8. Mention any four region of electromagnetic spectrum
A: Microwave, UV, IR, X-rays, FM, AM, etc

Q13. The colors that make up white light are called what?
Ans . Visible spectrum
Q14. What do light rays do as they pass from one transparent material
to another?
Ans Refract/Bend
Q15. What does a lens do?
Ans . Refract light
Q16. Which ray is used for surface sterilization?
Ans . X-ray
Q17. Extend the acronym LASER
Ans . LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF
RADIATION
Q18. Extend AM and FM.
Ans . AM: Amplitude Modulation FM: Frequency Modulation
Q19. What do you call for naturally occurring optical phenomenon in
which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant
objects or the sky?
Ans . Mirage
Q20. Is light an energy?
Ans . Yes
