a. Plane, convex and concave b. Convex, concave and plane c. Concave, plane and convex d. Convex, plane and concave
2.
Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a convex lens when an object is placed (e) at the focus of the lens
3.
Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5. Find out the absolute refractive index of diamond.
4.
Under which of the following conditions a concave mirror can form an image larger than the actual object?
a. When the object is kept at a distance equal to its radius of curvature b. When object is kept at a distance less than its focal length c. When object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature d. When object is kept at a distance greater than its radius of curvature
5.
Sudha finds out that the sharp image of the window pane of her science laboratory is formed at a distance of 15 cm from the lens. She now tries to focus the building visible to her outside the window instead of the window pane without disturbing the lens. In which direction will she move the screen to obtain a sharp image of the building? What is the approximate focal length of this lens?
