IGCSE Physics Lens Test 1

This document provides an optics test covering key concepts in geometrical optics including: defining principal axis, focal point, focal length, object distance, and image height using diagrams; listing properties of real and virtual images; defining the focal point and focal length of a convex lens; explaining how a convex lens can be used as a burning glass to form an image of the sun at its principal focus using a diagram; drawing scale diagrams to find the position, height, and magnification of images formed by convex lenses given the focal length and object distance; and calculating the magnification of a projector lens forming an image on a screen given the lens to film and screen distances.

IGCSE Lenses Test

1. Draw a diagram illustrating meaning of the following concepts 1. pricipal axis 2. focal point 3. focal length 4. object distance 5. image height (10) 2. List the properties of real and virtual images (4) 3. Define: 1. the focal point of a convex lens 2. the focal length of a convex lens (4) 4. Which type of lens can be used as a burning glass? Draw a diagram to show how it works. An image of the sun is formed at the principle focus of a burning glass. (4) 5. Draw a scale diagram (scale 1 cm = 50 mm) to find the position of the image formed by a convex lens with a focal length of 200 mm. The distance of the object is 100 mm and the size of the object is 50 mm. Is the image enlarged or diminished? What is the height of the image? What is the enlargement? (9) 6. An object, 20 mm high, is 80 mm from a convex lens with a focal length of 50 mm. Draw an accurate scale diagram and find the position of the image, the size of the image and the ratio between the image size and the object size. (9) 7. Calculate the magnification produced when a projector lens 50 mm away from the film forms clear images on a screen 3 m from the lens.
