XII PHYSICS RAY OPTICS AND OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS 09/07/24

WORKSHEET – 1 (Short Questions)


1. Use the mirror equation to show that an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror
produces a real image beyond 2f.
2. Draw a ray diagram to show image. Formation when the concave mirror produces a real, inverted
and magnified image of the object.
3. The refractive index of diamond is much higher than that of glass. How does a diamond cutter
make use of this fact?
4. When monochromatic light travels from one medium to another, its wavelength changes but
frequency remains same. Explain.
5. A biconvex lens made of a transparent material of refractive index 1.25 is immersed in water of
refractive index 1.33. Will the lens behave as a converging or a diverging lens? Give reasons
6. Find the radius of curvature of the convex surface of a plano-convex lens, whose focal length is 0.3
m and the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5
7. What is the focal length of a focal convex lens of length 30 cm in contact with a lens of focal
length 20 cm? Is the system a converging lens or diverging lens? Ignore thickness of the lens.
8. The image obtained with a convex lens is erect and its length is four times the length of the object.
If the focal length of the lens is 20 cm, calculate the object and image distances.
9. Explain two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope
10. Consider a telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 100 cm and the eyepiece has focal
length 1 cm. What will be the magnification of the given telescope?
11. Two lenses of focal lengths 6 cm and 50 cm are to be used for making a telescope. Which will you
see for the objective?
12. A candle flame is held 3 cm away from concave mirror of radius of curvature 24 cm. Where is the
image formed? What is the nature of the image?
13. An object is placed in front of a convex mirror of focal length 30 cm. If the image is a quarter of
the size of the object, find the position of the image.
14. A ray of light is incident at an angle of 60° on one face of a rectangular glass slab of thickness 0.1
m and refractive index 1.5. Calculate the lateral shift produced.
15. Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface (n = 1.5 and radius of curvature
20 cm). The distance of the light source from the glass surface is 100 cm. At what position the image is
formed?
16. A convergent beam of light passes through the diverging lens of focal length 0.2 m and comes to
focus 0.3 m behind the lens. Find the position of the point at which the beam would converge in the
absence of the lens.
17. The radii of curvature of the surfaces of a double convex lens are 20 cm and 40 cm, respectively
and its focal length is 20 cm. What is refractive index of the material of the lens?
18. Two thin lenses are in contact and the focal length of the combination is 80 cm. If the focal length
of one lens is 20 cm, then what would be the power of the other lens?
19. A telescope consists of two lenses of focal lengths 20 cm and 5 cm. Obtain its magnifying power
when the final image is (i) at infinity (ii) at 25 cm from the lenses of eye.
20. A convex lens of focal length 5 cm is used as a simple microscope. What will be the magnifying
power when the image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision?
