Answer the questions that follow on the basis of your understanding of the following
CASE source and the related studied concepts.
STUDY
Most simple refracting telescopes have two convex lenses. The objective forms a
real, inverted image at (or just within) the focal plane of the eyepiece. This image
serves as the object for the eyepiece. The eyepiece forms a virtual, inverted image
that is magnified.

22. When object moves closer to convex lens, the image formed by it shift * 1 point

Mark only one oval.

A) Away from the lens

B) Towards the lens

C) First towards and then away from the lens

D) First away and then towards the lens

23. The magnifying power of a telescope is the ratio of an object's angular 1 point

diameter to its naked eye diameter. This depends on the focal length of
both lenses. Magnification = focal length of objective lens / focal length of
eyepiece lens .A small refracting telescope has an objective of focal
length 100 cm. If the eyepiece has a focal length of 4.0 cm, what is the
magnification of the telescope? *

Mark only one oval.

A) 0.25 cm

B) 25 cm

C) 2.5 cm

D) 250 cm

Toshio likes to look at stars. However, he cannot observe stars very well at night
because he lives in a large city. Last year Toshio visited the countryside where he
observed a large number of stars that he cannot see when he is in the city.
24. Why can many more stars be observed in the countryside than in large 1 point

cities? *

Mark only one oval.

A) The moon is brighter in cities and blocks out the light from many stars.

B) There is more dust to reflect light in country air than in city air.

C) The brightness of city lights makes many stars hard to see.

D) The air is warmer in cities due to heat emitted by cars, machinery and houses.

25. Toshio uses a telescope with a large diameter lens in order to observe 1 point
stars of low brightness. Why does using a telescope with a large diameter
lens make it possible to observe stars of low brightness? *

Mark only one oval.

A) The larger the lens the more light is collected.

B) The larger the lens the more it magnifies.

C) Larger lenses allow more of the sky to be seen.

D) Larger lenses can detect the dark colours in stars.

Tobacco Smoking: Tobacco is smoked in cigarettes, cigars and pipes. Tobacco
smoke contains many harmful substances. The most damaging substances are tar,
nicotine and carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke is inhaled into the lungs. Tar from
the smoke is deposited in the lungs and this prevents the lungs from working
properly.

26. Which one of the following is a function of the lungs? * 1 point

Mark only one oval.

A) To pump oxygenated blood to all parts of your body

B) To transfer some of the oxygen that you breathe to your blood

C) To purify your blood by reducing the carbon dioxide content to zero

D) To convert carbon dioxide molecules into oxygen molecules.

27. Tobacco smoking increases the risk of getting lung cancer and some 1 point

other diseases. The risk of getting the disease due to tobacco smoking is
_____________ *

Mark only one oval.

A) Bronchitis

B) HIV/AIDS

C) Chicken pox

D) Hepatitis
Some people use nicotine patches to help them to give up smoking. The patches are
put on skin and release nicotine into the blood. This helps to relieve cravings and
withdrawal symptoms when people have stopped smoking. Various methods are used
to influence people to stop smoking.

28. Which of the following method of reducing smoking is based on 1 point

Technology? *

Mark only one oval.

A) Increase cost of cigarettes

B) Produce nicotine patches to help make people give up cigarettes.

C) Ban smoking in public areas.

29. Due to smoking the alveoli damaged and the surface area reduces which 1 point

leads to reduction in the absorption of oxygen. Name the deficiency

disorder caused due to the reduction in the absorption of oxygen. *
