Theory Questions

Q6 List four characteristics of the images formed by plane mirrors.

Q7 Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray which is
directed parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror. Mark on it the angle of incident and the angle
of reflection.

Q8 Define magnification produced by a spherical mirror in terms of height of a object and image. How
is it related to object and image distance? Explain why magnification is positive for virtual image and
negative for real image?

Q9 State the laws of refraction and reflection of light.

Q10 Which phenomenon is responsible for making the path of light visible?

Q11 When we place a glass prism in the path of a narrow beam of white light a spectrum is obtained.

Q12 What happens when a second identical prism is placed in an inverted position with respect to the
first prism? Draw a labeled ray diagram to illustrate it.

Q13 The power of the lens is -4.0D. What is the nature of this lens?

Q14 Which type of mirror is used to give erect and enlarged image of an object?
Q15 Draw the ray diagram and also state the position, the relative size and the nature of image formed
by a concave mirror when the object is placed at the centre of curvature of the mirror.

Numericals

Q16 If the speed of light in vacuum is 3X108 ms-1, find the speed of light in a medium of absolute
refractive index 1.5.

Q17 A 5 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal- length 20
cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 30 cm. Find the:
i. position
ii. nature
iii. size of the image formed.

Q18 4.5 cm needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Give the location
of image and magnification. Describe what happens to the image as the needle is moved farther from the
mirror.

Q19 Rohit placed a pencil perpendicular to principal axis in front of a converging mirror of focal length
30 cm. The image formed is twice the size of the pencil. Calculate the distance of the object from the
mirror.

Q20 An object is placed at a distance of 25 cm away from a converging mirror of focal length 20 cm.
Discus the effect on the nature and position of the image if the position of the object changes from 25
cm to 15 cm. Justify your answer without using mirror formula.
