Short Answer Type Questions (3 Marks Each)


6. A person needs spectacles of power +2.5 D. What defect of vision does this
person have? Explain how the lens corrects it.
7. A lens forms a virtual and diminished image of an object. Identify the type of
lens and the position of the object. Support your answer with a ray diagram.
8. Write the lens formula and explain the meaning of each term involved in it.
9. State two differences between a convex lens and a concave lens in terms of
image formation.
10. A convex mirror has a focal length of 10 cm. What will be the position of an
object placed 20 cm in front of the mirror? Calculate and explain the nature of the
image formed.
1. Case 1: Optical Projection System
A slide projector is set up to display an image on a screen placed 15 m away. The
projector lens has a focal length of 10 cm, and the slide is inserted upside down in the
tray. If the projector produces an image magnified 600 times, calculate the position of the
slide from the lens. Explain why the slide must be inserted upside down.
2. Case 2: Magnification and Orientation
A biology teacher uses a magnifying lens with a focal length of 15 cm to project a highly
detailed image of a plant cell. The slide is positioned such that the magnification achieved
is -50. Calculate the distance of the slide from the lens and interpret the significance of
the negative sign in magnification.
3. Case 3: Resolving Power of the Slide
A specialized projector uses a high-resolution slide to display clear and enlarged images
of microscopic organisms. If the original size of the organism on the slide is 0.5 mm and
the screen size is 250 cm, calculate the magnification.

4. Case 4: Image Formation


A group of students conducts an experiment using a convex lens with a focal length of 20
cm to project an image of a 5 cm tall object onto a screen 5 m away. Calculate the size
and nature of the image formed. Why is it necessary for the object to be at a specific
distance from the lens?
