TEXTUAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q.1. Which one of the following materials cannot be used to make a lens ?
( a ) Water.
( b ) Glass.
( c ) Plastic.
( d ) Clay.
Ans :- ( d ) Clay.
Q.2. The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to the virtual , erect and larger than the object . Where should be the position of the object ?
( a ) Between the principal focus and the centre of curvature .
( b ) At the centre of curvature .
( c ) Beyond the centre of curvature .
( d ) Between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus .
Ans :- ( d ) Between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus .
Q.3. Where should an object be placed in front of a convex lens to get a real image of the size of the object?
( a ) At the principal focus of the lens.
( b ) At twice the focal length .
( c ) At infinity .
( d ) Between the optical centre of the lens and its principal focus .
Ans :- ( b ) At twice the focal length .
Q.4. A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm . The mirror and the lens are likely to be
( a ) Both concave .
( b ) Both convex .
( c ) The mirror is concave and the lens is convex .
( d ) The mirror is convex , but the lens is concve .
Ans :- ( a ) Both concave .
Q.5. No matter how far you stand from a mirror your image appears erect . The mirror is likely to be
( a ) Plane .
( b ) Concave .
( c ) Convex .
( d ) Either plane or convex .
Ans :- ( d ) Either plane or convex .
Q.6. Which of the following lenses would you prefer to use To which reading small letters found in a dictionary?
( a ) A convex lens of focal length 50 cm .
( b ) A concave lens of focal length 50 cm .
( c ) A convex lens of focal length of 5 cm .
( d ) A concave lens of focal length of 5 cm .
Ans :- ( c ) A convex lens of focal length of 5 cm .
Q.7. We wish to obtain an erect image of an object , using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm . What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror ? What is the nature of the image ? Is the image larger or The smaller than the object ? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case .
Ans :- The object should be placed between the focus F and the pole P of the concave mirror . That is between 0 and 15 cm from the mirror .
The image will be virtual , erect and larger than the object .
Q.8. Name the type of mirror used is the following situations :
( a ) Head lights of a car .
( b ) Side / rear – view mirror of a vehicle .
( c ) Solar furnace Support your answer with reason .
Ans :- ( a ) A concave mirror is used in the headlights of a car . This is because when , a lighted bulb is placed at the focus of the concave reflector , then the concave reflector produces a powerful beam of parallel light rays. This beam of light helps us to see things up to a considerable distance in the darkness of night .
( b ) A convex mirror is used as a side / rear – view mirror of a vehicle because a convex mirror always forms an erect , virtual and diminished image of an object placed any where in front of it and a convex mirror has a wider field of view than a plane mirror of the same size .
( c ) Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar furnaces .
Q.9. One – half of a convex lens is covered with a black paper . Will this lens produce a complete image of the object ? Verify your answer experimentally . Explain your observations .
Ans :- When the lower half the convex lens is covered with a black paper , it still forms the complete image of the object as that with uncovered lens .
But the intensity of the image is reduced when one half of the convex lens of covered with a black paper .
