Lenses
1) Using a scale of 1cm:1cm, draw ray diagrams to locate the image due to (a) a convex lens, and (b) a
concave lens, for lens with f = 3 cm and a 2 cm tall object with object distance (u):
(i) beyond 2F;
(ii) at 2F;
(iii) between 2F and F;
(iv) at F;
(v) between F and C.

2) An object 40.0 cm tall is placed 70.0 cm from a converging lens with f = 45.0 cm. Using a scale of
1 cm : 10 cm, draw a ray diagram on a graph page to determine the position and size of the image.
Calculate the magnification.

3) For a 2.5 cm tall object at an object distance, u = 6.0 cm, a convex lens forms a real image at an image
distance of v = 12.0 cm. Calculate:
a) The magnification; (b) The size of the image. (c) The focal length

4) When an object 2.0 cm tall was placed 2.0 cm from the centre of a convex lens a virtual image was
formed 6.0 cm from the centre of the lens. Using a ray diagram find the focal length.

5) A convex lens with f = 20.0 cm forms an image 10.0 cm tall from an object 12.5 cm tall. If the image
distance, v = 36.0 cm, calculate the magnification and the object distance, u.
Sketch a ray diagram to show the arrangement. Indicate on the diagram all distances.

January 2008 Paper 3


3 (a) You are making a presentation to your class on the image formed by a converging lens acting as a
magnifying glass.
(i) Draw a labelled diagram to show the following clearly:
a) The principal axis
b) The principal focus
c) The focal length
d) The image formed
(ii) Is the image formed in this situation real or virtual? [5]
(b) Identify THREE differences between a real image and a virtual image. [3]
(c) A stamp collector views a stamp of height 2.0 cm with a hand lens placed 1.5 cm from the stamp.
The distance of the image from the lens is 5.0 cm. The object distance, u, image distance, v. and
focal length, f, of a lens are related by
1 1 1
+ =
u v f .
Calculate
(i) the magnification of the lens used
(ii) the height of the image of the stamp
(iii) the focal length of the lens
(iv) the position of the image formed if the object distance was doubled. [12]

June 2009 Paper 2 part question


3 (c) Figure 3 shows how a human eye focuses to see an object O. C represents the optical
centre of the lens in the eye.

(i) The object O is 100 m from the centre of the eye lens and the magnification of the
eye lens is 0.005.
Determine the distance of the retina from the centre of the eye lens. [3]
(ii) Write a formula for calculating the magnification of the eye lens using the object
height and the image height [1]

January 2007 Paper 2


5 (a) The Figure 2 shows an object in front of a converging lens.

(i) Identify the following by using appropriate letters.


(1) Principal axis __________________
(2) Principal Focus __________________
(3) Optical centre __________________
(4) Focal length __________________ [4]
(ii) Write TWO formulae for the magnification of an object. [2]
(b) A ray of light enters water from air at an angle of incidence whose sine is 0.50. The
refractive index of water = 1.3.
(i) Calculate the angle of refraction [4]
(ii) Calculate the critical angle for light rays travelling from water to air. [4]
Fourth Form
(iii) It was observed that a ray of light travelling from water to air at an angle of 53 0
was totally internally reflected. Why did this occur? [1]
