 I  Actually meet or intersect with each other.

II  Actually converge at a point

(a) 3 

(b) 5 

(c) 0.5 

(d) 2

Q10: Which of the following statements is/are true?

(b) A convex lens has -4D power having a focal length of 0.25 m 

(c) A concave lens has +4D power having a focal length of 0.25 m 

(d) A concave lens has –4D having a focal length of 0.25 m

Q11: Rahul conducts an experiment using an object of height 10 cm and a concave lens with a focal length of 20 cm. The object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from the lens. Can the image be formed on a screen? 

(a) Yes, as the image formed will be real.

(b) No, as the image formed will be inverted. 

(c) No, as the image formed will be virtual. 

(d) Yes, as the image formed will be erect

Q12: A convex lens of refractive index n₁ is placed in an enclosed chamber filled with a gas of refractive index n₂. If n₂ = n1, light rays passing through the convex lens will:

(a) converge

(b) pass straight

(c) diverge

(d) none of these

Q13: A convex lens of refractive index n₁ is placed in an enclosed chamber filled with a gas of refractive index n₂. If n₂ > n1, light rays passing through the convex lens will:

(a) converge

(b) pass straight

(c) diverge

(d) none of these

Q14: In a rectangular glass slab experiment, if the incident light is normal to the surface, the angle of emergence is

(a) 0° 

(b) 30° 

(c) 45° 

(d) 90° 

Q15: Double refraction takes place in

(a) rectangular glass slab only

(b) convex lens only

(c) concave lens only

(d) all of these

Answers:

1: (d) all reflecting surfaces

2: (b) infinite

3: (a) +24 cm

u = -40cm, v = +15cm. Using mirror formula 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

1/f = (u+v)/uv = (-40+15)/(-40×15) = (-25)/(-600) = 24

f = +24cm

4: (b) 30 cm in front of the mirror

Here f = 15cm. To make image height = object height, object must be placed at Centre of curvate (C) i.e. 2f = 30cm

5: (d) diminished and virtual

6: (a) is less than one

Convex mirrors always produce diminished and virtual images. h' < h. ∴ m < 1

7: (b) 2uv/(u+v)

8: (c) I and II 

9: (d) 2

10: (a) A convex lens has +4D power having a focal length of 0.25 m 

11: (c) No, as the image formed will be virtual. 

12: (b) pass straight (both media have same RI) See blog Q3 and Q4 

13: (c) diverge (gas RI > lens RI) See blog post

14: (a) 0° 

15: (d) all of these
