Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

There's more than the 101-seater dining table at the Falaknuma Palace that is awe inspiring. The library done in rosewood and mahogany is a place that will force anyone to pause, if only to admire the fine original polish, the furniture and the walnut carved high roof. The last is supposedly an imitation of the one at Windsor Castle.

The library is almost the size of a large banquet hall and acts as the passage to other parts of the palace including the dining area. For years the palace had no librarian because they couldn't find the right person to do justice to the treasure trove of books collected by the Nizam's family over several decades. That is until they found Asif Husain Arastu who belongs to the family that owned the famous A A Husain book store in Abids. So when his friend and historian Anuradha Naik pointed out the palace's requirement at the library, Husain was delighted. On his very first day as the librarian at the magnificent Taj Falaknuma palace, Asif Husain found a reference book on 'How to paint grass' by Alfred East.

Which part of the palace is an imitation of the Windsor Palace?

A) 101-seater dining table B) The library's roof
C) The banquet hall D) The library's furniture
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) The library's roof

A) Reflection of light & Refraction of light B) Dispersion of light
C) Total Internal Reflection D) Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light

Explanation:

A Mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky.




      • It is caused due to Total internal Reflection.

 

      • It is an optical illusion observed in deserts or hot summer days due to which a person sees a pond of water some distance ahead of him in which the surrounding objects appear inverted.

How Mirage Forms::

 

1. The temperature of other layers of atmosphere goes on decreasing as we go up.
2. Therefore density and refractive index of air changes as one goes up.
3. Thus a ray of light,gets refracted more and more away from the normal.
4. At a particular angle when a ray of light exceeds critical angle, total internal reflection takes place and ray of light gets reflected in the same medium.
5. when the reflected ray reaches our eye, it appears as coming from tree or sky .
6. Hence the inverted image of tree creates an impression from a pond of water.
