1. A real image, 1/5th the size of the object, is formed at a distance of 18 cm from a mirror. What is
the nature of the mirror? Calculate its focal length.
2. What should be the position of the object when a concave mirror is to be used as a shaving
mirror?
3. The refractive index of a medium ‘x’ with respect to a medium ‘y’ is 2/3 and the refractive index of
medium ‘y’ with respect to a medium ‘z’ is 4/3. Find the refractive index of medium ‘z’ with respect
to medium ‘x’. If the speed of light in medium ‘x’ is 3×108m/s, calculate the speed of light in medium
‘y’.
4. An image 2/3 the size of the object is formed by a convex lens at a distance of 12 cm from it. Find
the focal length of the lens.
5. State the meaning of linear magnification. how is it related to object distance and image distance?
when is magnification positive or negative?
6. . 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?
7. An object 4 cm in height, is placed at 15 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm. At
what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed to obtain a sharp image of the object.
Calculate the height of the image
8. An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a convex mirror. The magnification produced
is 1/2. What should be the position of the object to get the magnification of 1/3?
9. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +1/3. Analyse this value and state
the1)type of mirror
10) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. draw a ray diagram to show the
formation of the image in this case.. Draw a diagram and apply (the new Cartesian sign) conventions
for calculating focal length and nature of a spherical mirror which forms a 1/3 times magnified
virtual image of an object placed 18 cm, in front of it.
11. Give a reason why convex mirrors are preferred over plane mirrors as rear-view mirrors in cars?
illustrate your answer with the help of ray diagram
6. What is understood by lateral displacement of light? Illustrate it with the help of a diagram. List
any two factors on which the lateral displacement of a particular substance depends.
7. When the light enters from air to glass, the angle of incidence and refraction in air and glass
are 45oand 30o. Calculate The refractive index of the glass .
8. we wish to obtain an equal size inverted image of a candle flame on a screen kept at a distance of
4 m from the candle flame a name the type of lens that should be used be what should be focal
length of a lens and what distance from the candle flame the lens place see draw the diagram to
show the image formation in this case
9. An object 4 cm in size is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm.
At what distance from the mirror should the screen be kept so that a sharp image of the object can
be obtained on screen? Find the nature and height of the image.
10. "A concave mirror of focal length f can form a magnified erect as well as an inverted image of an object
placed in front of it. ” Justify this statement stating the position of the object with respect to the mirror in each
case for obtaining these images.
