RAY OPTICS – ASSIGNMENT 1

Write out the answers neatly on A4/File sheets and submit the same by 01-08-22 (Monday)

1. Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a convex mirror when an object is placed
at a finite distance from the mirror
2. The image of a candle flame formed by a lens is obtained on a screen placed on the other
side of the lens. If the image is three times the size of the flame and the distance between lens
and image is 80 cm, at what distance should the candle be placed from the lens? What is the
nature of the image at a distance of 80 cm and the lens?
3. Size of image of an object by a mirror having a focal length of 20 cm is observed to be
reduced to 1/3rd of its size. At what distance the object has been placed from the mirror? What
is the nature of the image and the mirror?
4. Define power of a lens. What is its unit? One student uses a lens of focal length 50 cm and
another of –50 cm. What is the nature of the lens and its power used by each of them?
5. A student focussed the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a convex lens. He
noted down the position of the candle screen and the lens as under Position of candle = 12.0
cm Position of convex lens = 50.0 cm Position of the screen = 88.0 cm
(i) What is the focal length of the convex lens?
(ii) Where will the image be formed if he shifts the candle towards the lens at a position of 31.0
cm?
(iii) What will be the nature of the image formed if he further shifts the candle towards the
lens?
(iv) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image in case (iii) as said above.
6. Identify the device used as a spherical mirror or lens in following cases, when the image
formed is virtual and erect in each case.
(a) Object is placed between device and its focus, image formed is enlarged and behind it.
(b) Object is placed between the focus and device, image formed is enlarged and on the same
side as that of the object.
(c) Object is placed between infinity and device, image formed is diminished and between focus
and optical centre on the same side as that of the object.
(d) Object is placed between infinity and device, image formed is diminished and between pole
and focus, behind it.
7. Why does a light ray incident on a rectangular glass slab emerges parallel to itself? Explain
using a diagram.
8. A pencil when dipped in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bent at the interface of air
and water. Will the pencil appear to be bent to the same extent, if instead of water we use
liquids like, kerosene or turpentine. Support your answer with reason.
9. How is the refractive index of a medium related to the speed of light? Obtain an expression
for refractive index of a medium with respect to another in terms of speed of light in these two
media?
10. Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and absolute refractive index of
glass is 1.5. Find out the absolute refractive index of diamond
11. Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave mirror when an object is
placed (a) between pole and focus of the mirror
12. Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave lens when an object is placed
(a) between optical centre and focus of the lens
13. Write laws of refraction. Explain the same with the help of ray diagram, when a ray of light
passes through a rectangular glass slab.
