Question

Statement I: Light always reflects from a solid surface.
Statement II: Light almost completely gets reflected by a mirror.
Which of the following above statement(s) is/are correct?

• A. Both the statements are incorrect.
• B. Only statement II is correct.
• C. Both the statements are correct.
• D. Only statement I is correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only statement II is correct.

Light always reflects from an opaque object, it partially reflects from a translucent object, and it does not/hardly reflect in the case of a transparent object, and all these three types of objects can be solid. So the first statement is incorrect.
When we get a shiny plane mirror, it reflects almost all the light rays which strike its surface as a plane mirror is an opaque object.
