2.
Identify the device used as a spherical mirror or lens in following cases, when the image formed is virtual and erect in each case. (b) Object is placed between the focus and device, image formed is enlarged and on the same side as that of the object.
3.

Q1.The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This is known as:

Snell's Law

b.

Law of Reflection

c.

Refraction principle

d.

Dispersion law

4.
A student focussed the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a convex lens. He noted down the position of the candle screen and the lens as under: Position of candle = 12.0 cm, Position of convex lens = 50.0 cm, Position of the screen = 88.0 cm. (i) What is the focal length of the convex lens?
5.
Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a convex mirror when an object is placed (a) at infinity
6.
You are given water, mustard oil, glycerine and kerosene. In which of these media a ray of light incident obliquely at same angle would bend the most?
a. Kerosene b. Water c. Mustard oil d. Glycerine
7.
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?
8.
Define power of a lens. What is its unit? One student uses a lens of focal length 50 cm and another of –50 cm. What is the nature of the lens and its power used by each of them?

10.

The real image formed by a concave mirror is smaller than the object if the object is :

a.

between centre of curvature and focus

b.

at a distance greater than radius of curvature

c.

at a distance equal to radius of curvature

d.

at a distance equal to focal length

11.
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm can produce a magnified virtual as well as real image. Is this a correct statement? If yes, where shall the object be placed in each case for obtaining these images?
12.
Identify the device used as a spherical mirror or lens in following cases, when the image formed is virtual and erect in each case. (a) Object is placed between device and its focus, image formed is enlarged and behind it.
