Which of the following phenomena cannot be explained by scattering of light? White colour of clouds Tyndall effect Formation of rainbow Blue colour of sky None 19. A man can see distinctly from a distance of 0.5m. If he wants to read a book placed at a distance of 25cm, then what kind of lens should he use? Convex lens with focal length of − 50cm Concave lens with focal length of −50cm Convex lens with focal length of 50cm Concave lens with focal length of 50cm None 20. A person is suffering from 'presbyopia' ( myopia and hyper metropia both defects ) should use A bifocal lens whose upper portion is convex A concave lens A bifocal lens whose lower portion is convex A convex lens None 21.
