VI CCT QUESTIONS [4M]
29. The dark coloured patch formed on the screen opposite to the light by an
opaque object is called shadow. For the formation of a shadow, a source of
light, an opaque object and a screen are required. Shadow is formed by an
opaque object when light falls on it. Its size and shape change according to
direction of light or orientation of object. It can be large or small than the
object. During morning and evening shadow is larger. It is smaller during noon.
The colour of shadow is dark irrespective of the colour of object. Shadows are
not formed in dark i.e. in absence of light. The shadows are not uniformly dark.
Central inner part is darker than outer surrounding part. The darker part of
shadow is called umbra and less dark part is called penumbra. There is no
change of left part of object to right part of image and right part of object to left
part of image.
In nature, lunar eclipse and solar eclipses are examples of shadow formation.
Q.1 Among the followings options which is not always necessary for shadow
formation?
(a) The sun
(b) A screen
(c) An Opaque object
(d) A source of light
Q.2 Harshit observed his shadow at 9:00 A.M., 12:00 Noon and 3:00 P.M. Which
among the following statements is correct about his observation of shadow?
(a) His shape changes but size remains same.
(b) His size changes but shape remains same.
(c) Both shape and size of his shadow change.
(d) Neither shape nor size of his shadow change.
Q.3 Four shirts of red, blue, green and yellow colour are hanging on a clothes
line in the sun. What will be the colour of their shadows?

shadow?
(a) Umbra is comparatively darker than penumbra
(b) Penumbra is comparatively darker than umbra
(c) Umbra is same as penumbra in darkness.
(d) Umbra is comparatively lighter than penumbra.
30. Air consists of a mixture of gases. By volume, about 78% of this mixture is
nitrogen and about 21% is oxygen. Carbon dioxide, argon, methane, ozone and
water vapour are also present in very small quantities. Addition of such
substances like smoke to the atmosphere modifies it. When air is contaminated
by unwanted substances which have a harmful effect on both the living and the
non-living, it is referred to as air pollution. The substances which contaminate
the air are called air pollutants. Sometimes, such substances may come from
natural sources like smoke and dust arising from forest fires or volcanic
eruptions. Pollutants are also added to the atmosphere by certain human
activities. The sources of air pollutants are factories, power plants, automobile
exhausts and burning of firewood and dung cakes.
Q1. ___________ (Oxygen / Nitrogen ) helps in burning. [1M]

Q2. ____________ is the most abundant component of air. [1M]
