You will find some large mirrors there. You can see your distorted and funny images in these mirrors. Try to find out the kind of mirror used there.<br \/>\nHint:<br \/>\nSpherical mirrors are used to form funny images. This is because normal plane mirrors produce a perfect image whereas we need distorted, funny images which can be only produced by curved mirrors.<\/p>\n<p>Question 5.<br \/>\nVisit a nearby hospital. You can also visit the clinic of an ENT specialist or a dentist. Request the doctor to show you the mirror used for examination of ear, nose, throat and teeth. Can you recognise the kind of mirror used in these instruments?<br \/>\nHint:<br \/>\nConcave mirrors are used by dentists because at a short range, the concave mirror produces magnified, upright images of face. By these mirrors, dentists can examine the patient more easily.<\/p>\n<p>Question 6.<br \/>\nRoleplay: Here is a game that a group of children can play. One child will be chosen to act as object and other will act as the image of the object. The object and the image will sit opposite to each other. The object will make movements, such as raising a hand, touching an ear, etc. The image will have to make the correct movement following the movement of the object. The rest of the group will watch the movements of the image. If the image fails to make the correct movement, she\/he will be retired. Another child will take her\/ his place and the game will continue. A scoring scheme can be introduced. The group that scores the maximum will be declared the winner.<br \/>\nHint:<br \/>\nDo it yourself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Activity 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Objective: To show that the image formed in a plane mirror is erect and virtual.<br \/>\nMaterials Required: A large-sized plane mirror and a candle.<br \/>\nProcedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place a lighted candle in front of a plane mirror.

Spherical mirrors are classified based on the shape of their reflecting surface in two types- concave and convex. When a part of sphere is cut, the inside part is called the concave side, while the outside part is called the convex side.

Lenses are unlike mirrors that have a reflecting surface only on one side. Depending upon its shape, a lens can be categorised as follows:<br \/>\ni. Convex lens: This lens is thinner at the edges and thicker in the centre. It is a converging lens as it converges light rays. It can form real, inverted and diminished image. When the object is placed very close to the lens, the image formed is virtual, erect and magnified.<\/p>\n<p>A magnifying glass is a convex lens which is used to make small things look bigger by producing their magnified (enlarged) images.<\/p>\n<p>ii. Concave lens: It is the lens that is thinner at the centre than at the edges. It is a diverging lens as it diverges light rays.

They are used in astronomical telescopes. They are also used in reading glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Components of White Light: The white light or sunlight is composed of seven colours. These colours in order are VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red). When white light passes through a glass prism, it breaks down into its component colours. This is the reason why rainbows show all the colours of the white light. Several phenomena explain that sunlight or white light is composed of seven colours.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Activity 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Objective: To show that the sunlight consists of seven colours.<br \/>\nMaterials Required: A glass prism and a white sheet of paper.<br \/>\nProcedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a glass prism<\/li>\n<li>Allow a narrow beam of sunlight through a small hole in the window of a dark room to fall on one face of the prism.<\/li>\n<li>Let the light coming out of the other face of the prism fall on a white sheet of paper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24498\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-7-Science-Chapter-15-Light-8.png?resize=429%2C253&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Science Chapter 15 Light 8\" width=\"429\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-7-Science-Chapter-15-Light-8.png?w=429&amp;ssl=1 429w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-7-Science-Chapter-15-Light-8.png?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Observation: When the light coming out of the other face of the prism falls on a white sheet then a band of seven colours appear on the screen.<br \/>\nConclusion: When a beam of white light is passed through a glass prism, then the white light splits to form a band of seven colours on a white screen. Hence, sunlight is made up of seven colours.<\/p>\n<p>i. Dispersion of light: The splitting up of white light into seven colours on passing through a transparent medium, like a glass prism, is called dispersion of light. The formation of spectrum of seven colours on the other side of the prism shows that white light is a mixture of seven colours.<\/p>\n<p>ii. Rainbow: The rainbow is an arch of seven colours in the sky. The rainbow is produced by the dispersion of sunlight by tiny rain drops suspended in the atmosphere that behave like minute prisms.<\/p>\n<p>iii. Newton\u2019s Disc: It is a circular disc on which seven colours of the rainbow are painted on seven different sectors. When the disc is rotated at certain speeds, it appears to be white.

Name the two types of lenses. Name any five things which use lenses.<br \/>\nb. What kind of lens is used as a magnifying glass?<br \/>\nc. Which type of reflector is used in car headlights for producing a parallel beam of light?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\na. A lens is a piece of any transparent material bound by two curved surfaces or by one curved and one plane surface. When light rays pass through a lens, they bend and change their direction. The two types of lenses are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>convex lens, and<\/li>\n<li>concave lens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The five things which use lenses are: Spectacles, cameras, microscopes, telescopes and film projectors.<br \/>\nb. Convex lens is used as a magnifying glass.<br \/>\nc. Concave mirrors are used in vehicle headlights to send parallel rays because it allows the light rays to be focused as a single beam and give more power to the light that makes it more efficient for seeing and to be seen by others.<\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nWhat is Newton\u2019s disc? Why does it appear white when rotated?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nA circular disc constructed by Newton which is divided into seven parts painted with seven colours is known as Newton\u2019s disc. The colours painted on disc are those of the spectrum of visible light. When the disc is rotated fast, the colours get mixed together and the disc appears to be whitish. This appearance of white light on rotating disc suggests that the white light consists of seven colours.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24502\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-7-Science-Chapter-15-Light-12.png?resize=372%2C220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Science Chapter 15 Light 12\" width=\"372\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-7-Science-Chapter-15-Light-12.png?w=372&amp;ssl=1 372w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcq-questions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-7-Science-Chapter-15-Light-12.png?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nShow that the image is at the same distance behind the plane mirror as the object is in front of it.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nTake a chessboard.

Now direct the beam of light on the mirror from the torch with slits. Place the torch in such a way that its light is seen along the chart paper on the board. Now adjust its position so that the light from the torch strikes the plane mirror at an angle. We will see that the mirror changes the direction of light that falls on it. Now move the torch slightly to either side. We will see change in the direction of reflected light too. Look into the mirror along the direction of the reflected light. We see the slits in the mirror. This is the image of the slits.
