SUBJECT: Physics
Topic: Light: Reflection and Refraction
1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
The lenses form different types of images when objects are placed at different locations. When a
ray is an incident parallel to the principal axis, then after refraction, it passes through the focus or
appears to come from the focus. When a ray goes through the optical center of the lens, it passes
without any deviation. If the object is placed between the focus and optical center of the convex
lens, an erect and magnified image is formed. As the object is brought closer to the convex lens
from infinity to focus, the image moves away from the convex lens from focus to infinity. Also, the
size of the image goes on increasing and the image is always real and inverted.
i. What is the nature of the image formed by the camera lens?
ii. How to measure the focal length of the convex lens
iii. What kind of lens is used in the camera?
a) Convex lens b) Plane lens c) concave lens d) None of these
iv. A convex lens of focal length 6 cm forms a real image of the same size as the object. Find the
distance between the object and the image.

2. Study the following table carefully and answer the given questions:

i. You are given kerosene, water, and sapphire. In which medium does the light travel fastest and
slowest respectively?
ii. Find the refractive index of diamond w.r.t. kerosene.
iii. A light ray passing through the air is made incident upon the three mediums ice, alcohol, and
carbon disulphide, keeping the incidence angle the same. In which of the given mediums angle of
refraction be minimum?
iv. Select the material whose refractive index is almost the same as that of the quartz dense.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1. An object 2 cm in size is placed 30 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. At what
distance from the mirror should a screen be placed to obtain a sharp image? What will be the
nature and the size of the image formed? Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image in
this case.

2. A concave lens has a focal length of 20 cm. At what distance from the lens can a 5 cm tall object be
placed so that it forms an image at 15 cm from the lens? Also, calculate the size of the image
formed.
3. One-half of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm is covered with black paper.

lens?
4. Two mediums with refractive indices of 1.31 and 1.50 are given. In which case (i) the bending of
light is more? (ii) the speed of light is more? Give a reason for the same.
5. The refractive index of kerosene oil is 1.44 and that of water is 1.33. A ray of light enters from
kerosene oil to water.
(i) Where would light rays bend and why?
(ii) Find the refractive index of kerosene oil w.r.t. water.
6. Which is optically denser out of the two mediums M1 = 1.71 (refractive index) and M2 = 1.36
(refractive index)? How does the speed of light change when it travels from optically rarer to a
denser medium? Find the refractive index of M1 w.r.t. M2

7. An object 5cm high is held 25cm away from a converging lens of focal length 10cm. Find the
position, size, and nature of the image formed. Also, draw the ray diagram.

8. What is the nature of the image formed by a convex lens if the magnification produced by a convex
lens is +3?

9. An object is placed at a distance of 4 cm from a concave lens of a focal length of 12cm. Find the
position and nature of the image.

10. A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of a needle at a distance of 50 cm from the lens. If
the image is of the same size as the needle, where would the needle be placed in front of the lens?
Also, find the power of the lens.
