1. A candle is kept in front of a plane mirror at distance of 15 cm. What is the distance
between candle & its image?
2. A light ray strikes a flat, smooth, reflecting surface at an angle of 80° to the normal. What
is the angle that the reflected ray makes with the surface of the mirror?
3. Light from a laser strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 38° to the normal. If the laser is
moved so that the angle of incidence increases by 13°, what is the new angle of reflection?
4. Why does a stick, partly immersed in water, appear to be bent? Explain with a diagram.
6. Under what condition, will the angle of refraction be equal to the angle of incidence?
8. If refractive indices of alcohol & water are 1.36 and 1.33 respectively, which of the two is
optically denser?
9. Calculate the ratio of sine of incident angle to the sine of refracted angle when the
refractive indices of medium 1 and 2 are given as 2.33 and 1.66 respectively.
10. A ray of light is incident in air on the surface of a glass block. The angle of incidence is
60 ̊. Calculate the angle of refraction. (Refractive index of glass with respect to air = 1.50.)
11. A grizzly bear is sitting on a rock in the middle of a calm river when she observes a fish
directly below. If the apparent depth of the fish is 0.40 m, what is the actual depth at which
the fish is swimming? The index of refraction of water is 1.33.
12. An object of height of 1 cm is placed at a distance of 2F from a convex lens, what is the
height of the image formed? (F = 2cm)
13. Where should an object be placed for using a convex lens as magnifying glass.
14. a) Draw the image formed for the following object by completing the ray diagram: (F =
2cm)
b) Find the image distance (v) and the size of the image formed.
