Science
Light
1. A student performs an experiment on finding the focal length of a convex lens by keeping a lighted
candle on one end of laboratory table, a screen on its other end and the lens between them as shown
in the figure. The positions of the three are adjusted to get a sharp image of the candle flame on the
screen. If now the candle flame were to the replaced by a distant lamp on a far away electric pole, the
student would be able to get a sharp image of this distant lamp on the screen by moving – [1]

(a) the screen in the direction of the lens or the lens away from the screen
(b) neither the screen nor the lens
(c) the screen in the direction of the lens or the lens in the direction of the screen
(d) the screen away fro the lens or the lens in the direction of the screen
2. A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of incidence 300 . The ray after reflection is
deviated through : [1]
(a) 30 degree (b) 60 degree (c) 90 degree (d) 120 degree
3. f = r/2 is valid : [1]
(a) For convex mirrors but not for concave mirrors (b) For concave mirrors but not for convex mirrors
(c) For both convex and concave mirrors (d) Neither for convex mirrors nor for concave mirrors
4. If the power of a lens is – 2 D, what is its focal length?
(a) +50 cm (b) -100 cm (c) -50 cm (d) +100 cm
5. A student does the experiment on tracing the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass
slab for different angles of incidence. He can get a correct measure of the angle of incidence and the
angle of emergence by following the labelling indicated in figure: [1]

(a) I (b) II (c) III (d) IV


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: Keeping a point object fixed, if a plane mirror is moved, the image will also move.
Reason: In the case of a plane mirror, the distance between the object and Its image is equal from any
point on the mirror. [1]
7. Assertion (A): When light passes from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the
normal. [1]
Reason (R): Refraction occurs when light waves change direction as they pass from one medium to
another due to a change in their speed.
Case Study (from Q. 8 to Q. 10)
Analyse the following observation table showing variation of image distance (v) with object distance
(u) in case of a convex lens and answer the questions that follow without doing any calculations:

8. What is the focal length of the convex lens? Give reason to justify your answer.(without using lens
formula) [1]
9. Write the serial number of the observation which is not correct. On what basis have you arrived at this
conclusion? [1]
10. Select an appropriate scale and draw a ray diagram for the observation at S. No. 2. Also [2]
11. Write the laws of refraction ? [3]
12. (a) For the same angle of incidence 45°, the angle of refraction in two transparent media, I and II is 20°
and 30° respectively. Out of I and II, which medium is optically denser and why?
(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42 and that of carbon disulphide is 1.63. Calculate the
refractive index of diamond with respect to carbon disulphide. [3]
13. An object of size 7.0 cm is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 18 cm. At what
distance from the mirror should a screen be placed, so that a sharp focused image can be obtained?
Find the size and the nature of the image. [4]
Or
An object 5cm in length is held 25cm away from a converging lens of focal length 10 cm. Draw a ray
diagram and find the position, size and the nature of the image formed.
14. Find focal length of a lens in terms of magnification, and object distance ? [4]
Or
A concave mirror of focal length produces an image ‘n’ times the size of the object. What would be the
object distance for which the image is real ?
