SECTION A (1 Mark) MCQ 1. An equiconvex lens of focal length 15 cm is cut into two halves as shown in figure. Find the focal length of each part?
(a) -30cm (b) -20cm (c) 30cm (d) -15cm
2. An astronomical telescope has a large aperture to:
(a) increase span of observation (b) have low dispersion (c) reduce spherical aberration (d) have high resolution Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses. (a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion. (b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion. (c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. (d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
3. Assertion : Plane mirror may form real image.
Reason : Plane mirror forms virtual image, if object is real. 4. Assertion : The image formed by a concave mirror is certainly real if the object is virtual. Reason : The image formed by a concave mirror is certainly virtual if the object is real.

11. A compound microscope is an optical instrument used for observing highly magnified images of tiny objects. Magnifying power of a compound microscope is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle subtended at the 2 eye by the object, when both the final image and the objects are situated at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye. It can be given that: m=m e x mo, where me is the magnification produced by the eye lens and mo is the magnification produced by the objective lens.Consider a compound microscope that consists of an objective lens of focal length 2.0 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 6.25 cm separated by a distance of 15 cm.
(i) The object distance for eye-piece, so that final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision, will be (a) 3.45 cm (b) 5 cm (c) 1.29 cm (d) 2.59 cm (ii) How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the condition described in part (i)? (a) 4.5 cm (b) 2.5 cm (c) 1.5 cm (d) 3.0 cm (iii) What is the magnifying power of the microscope in case of least distinct vision? (a) 20 (b) 30 (c) 40 (d) 50 (iv) The intermediate image formed by the objective of a compound microscope is (a) real, inverted and magnified (b) real, erect and magnified (c) virtual, erect and magnified (d) virtual, inverted and magnified
