SUBJECT : PHYSICS
THE INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL, DUBAI
SUMMER ASSIGNMENT-2024
PHYSICS
GRADE-10

1. The splitting of white light into different colours on passing through a prism
is called
(a) reflection
(b) refraction
(c) dispersion
(d) deviation
2. Which of the following phenomena of light are involved in the formation of a
rainbow?
(a) Reflection, refraction and dispersion
(b) Refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection
(c) Refraction, dispersion and internal reflection
(d) Dispersion, scattering and total internal reflection
3. A person gets out in the sunlight from a dark room. How does his pupil regulate and
control the light entering the eye?
(a) The size of the pupil will decrease, and less light will enter the eye
(b) The size of the pupil will decrease, and more light will enter the eye
(c) The size of the pupil will remain the same, but more light will enter the eye
(d) The size of the pupil will remain the same, but less light will enter the eye
4. A person went for a medical check-up and found that the curvature of his eye lens
was increasing. Which defect is he likely to suffer from?
(a) Myopia
(b) Cataract
(c) Presbyopia
(d) Hypermetropia
5. Why do stars appear to twinkle at night?
(a) Because the light of stars travels in a different medium
(b) Because the distance of a star varies when the earth rotates
(c) Because the star changes its position relative to the earth
(d) Because the atmosphere reflects the light at different angles
Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason
(R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
6 Assertion(A) : For observing traffic at back, the driver mirror is convex
mirror.
Reason (R) : A convex mirror has much larger field of view than a plane
mirror.
7 Assertion(A) : The height of an object is always considered positive.
Reason (R) : An object is always placed above the principal axis in this
upward direction.
8. Assertion(A) : Concave mirrors are used as make-up mirrors.
Reason (R) : When the face is held within the focus of a concave mirror, then a
diminished image of the face is seen in the concave mirror.
9. Assertion(A): A person cannot see his image in a concave mirror, unless, he is
standing beyond the center of curvature of the mirror.
Reason (R) : In a concave mirror, image formed is real provided the object is
situated beyond its focus.
10 Assertion(A): Hypermetropia is the defect of the eye in which only farther objects
are seen.
Reason (R) : Hypermetropia is corrected by using a converging lens.
11. A student suffering from myopia cannot see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5m.
List two possible reasons due to which this defect of vision may have arisen. With
the help of a ray diagram, explain.
a. Why the student cannot distinctly see objects placed beyond 5 m from his eyes.
b. Which type of corrective lens is used to restore proper vision and how is this
defect corrected using this lens?
12. A concave lens of focal length 25 cm and a convex lens of focal length 20 cm are
placed in contact with each other. What is the power of this combination? What is
the focal length of the combination?
13. Find the focal length and nature of the lens which should be placed in contact with
a lens of focal length 10 cm so that the power of the combination becomes 5 dioptre.
14. An object 5 cm in length is held 25 cm away from a converging lens of focal length
10 cm. Draw the ray diagram and find the position, size and nature of the image
formed.
15. The image obtained with a converging lens is erect and its length is 4 times the
length of the object. If the focal length of the lens is 20 cm, calculate the object and
image distance. Draw the ray diagram for the image formation.
16. One-half of a convex lens is covered with a black paper. Will this lens produce a
complete image of the object? Explain your observations with ray diagrams.
17. The refractive index of medium ‘X’ with respect to medium ‘Y’ is 2/3 and refractive
index of medium ‘Y’ with respect to medium ‘Z’ is 4/3. Find the refractive index of
medium ‘Z’ with respect to medium ‘X’.
18. The refractive index of glass with respect to air is 1.65 and that of water w.r.t air is
1.33. Calculate refractive index of water w.r.t to glass.
19. The refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3. What is the refractive index
of air with respect to water?
20. An erect image 3 times the size of the object is obtained with a converging mirror of
radius of curvature 36 cm. calculate the position of the object. Draw the ray diagram
for the image formation.
