Q1: Describe the role of mob in the play Julius Caesar

Answer:

No doubt citizens of Rome played a crucial role in the play Julius Caesar. The crowd of commoners that fills the streets served several dramatic purposes in the play, specially during the funeral oration.

Brutus logically gave his reasons that necessitated Caesar’s death. He informed the commoners that he acted out of love of Rome and his desire to prevent tyrants from controlling her. The citizens embraced his words with cheers and understanding. However, their mood altered when Antony offered his interpretation of the situation. He passionately described the deeds Caesar performed in behalf of the citizens of Rome, which clearly contradicted the opinion of the conspirators that Caesar was too ambitious. The mob who lost her individual identity and showed her inability to deal with intellect and reason. Antony's speech overwhelmed the people with grief, despair, and anger for their “beloved” Caesar’s death. It led to brutal killing of Brutus and other conspirators by the mob.

Although the citizens are important characters in the play, they are unreliable, emotionally hyped and fickle in supporting the latest and most impassioned plea for their “ears.” In the play, we witness the irrational behavior of citizens-to-mob who think only to benefit themselves. 

Q2: What arguments did Brutus give for killing Caesar?

Answer: 

Brutus thought that Caesar was too ambitious and would have turned the Romans into slaves. Brutus's point is that like the serpent's egg Caesar was bound to hatch into something really dangerous and he would be easier to deal with while he was still in the egg stage.He stated although Caesar wasn’t bad, getting a crown would change his nature! Brutus put Caesar in poor light saying that Caesar was ambitious and that he did it for the good of his country and his countrymen.

Q1. Suppose you are in a dark room. Can you see objects in the room? Can you see objects outside the room. Explain.

Answer: We can see any object, when light reflected by that object reaches our eyes. But in the dark room, no light is reflected by the object. Hence, we are unable to see the objects in dark room. But if there is light outside the room, we can see the objects lying there.

Q2. Differentiate between regular and diffused reflection. Does diffused reflection mean the failure of the laws of reflection?

Answer:

S.No.	Regular reflection	Diffused reflection
1.	It takes place from a smooth or regular surface.	It takes place from a rough surface.
2.	All reflected rays are parallel to each other.	The reflected rays are not parallel to each other.
3.	Reflected rays go in one direction.	Reflected rays are scattered in different directions.
4.	e.g. it is caused by smooth surfaces such as mirror.	e.g. It is caused by the irregularities in the reflecting surface, like that of a cardboard.

(Draw fig 16.8 and 16.7 from the book)

In diffused reflection, each ray obeys the laws of reflection. Therefore, laws of reflections are not violated. 

Q3: Mention against each of the following whether regular or diffused reflection will take place when a beam of light strikes. Justify your answer in each case.
(a) Polished wooden table
(b) Chalk powder
(c) Cardboard surface
