Exercise 1 : Light

Name : ……………………………….. Date : …………………..

1. The image formed by a plane mirror is upright.


what are the other characteristics of the
image?

2. A student draws three rays of light from point P through a converging lens.
Each point labelled F is a principal focus of the lens.

Which of the rays are drawn correctly?


A ray Y only
B ray Z only
C ray X and ray Y
D ray X and ray Z

3. A plane mirror is used to form an image of an object.


At which labelled point is the image formed?
4. A converging lens in a projector is used to make an enlarged image of a small piece of film on a
screen. At which labelled point could the piece of film be placed so that the lens produces this
image?

5. A thin converging lens forms an image.

What is the nature of this image and can it be formed on a screen?

6. A piece of paper has ‘PAL’ written on it. A student holds the paper in front of a plane mirror.
What does the student see?
7. The converging lens in a camera is used to make an image on a film. At which labelled point could
a large object be placed so that it makes a smaller image?

8. A ray of light in water is incident on the surface. The angle of incidence is much smaller than the
critical angle.

What happens to this ray?


A It is completely reflected.
B It is completely refracted.
C It is partially reflected and partially refracted.
D It is refracted at an angle of refraction of 90°.

9. The diagram shows the dispersion of white light by a glass prism.

Why does dispersion occur when white light enters the glass?
A The frequency of red light decreases more than that of violet light.
B The frequency of violet light decreases more than that of red light.
C The speed of red light decreases more than that of violet light.
D The speed of violet light decreases more than that of red light.
10. A thin converging lens is used to produce, on a screen, a focused image of a candle.

Various focused images are produced on the screen by moving the lens and the screen backwards
and forwards. Which statement is always correct?
A The image is at the principal focus (focal point) of the lens.
B The image is bigger than the object.
C The image is closer to the lens than the object is.
D The image is inverted.

11. The diagram shows plane waves reflected by a plane surface. Which line represents a wavefront?

12. Figs. 4.1 and 4.2 show a semi-circular glass block as rays of blue light are directed into the block
at different angles. The rays are directed towards the centre C of the semi-circle so that no
refraction occurs as the rays enter the block.

enlarged image is observed from the other side of the lens.
(a) On Fig. 7.1, draw a ray diagram to show the formation of this image.

(b) (i) State why this type of image is called virtual.
