10 Science Question Bank 5

The document contains a series of physics questions and tasks related to optics, including observations of lead nitrate heating, ray diagrams for concave and convex mirrors and lenses, laws of refraction, and the human eye's functions and defects. It also covers concepts such as the power of lenses, image formation, and atmospheric refraction. The document requires both theoretical explanations and practical ray diagrams to illustrate the principles of light behavior.

PHYSICS
Light-Reflection and Refraction
1.State two positions in which a concave mirror produces a magnified image of a given object. List two differences between the two
images.
2. Draw ray diagrams to show the principal focus of a:
(i) Concave mirror (ii) Convex mirror
3.Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image by a convex lens when an object is placed in front of the lens between its optical
centre and principal focus.
(b) In the above ray diagram mark the object-distance (u) and the image-distance (v) with their proper signs (+ve or – ve as per the new
Cartesian sign convention) and state how these distances are related to the focal length (f) of the convex lens in this case.
(c) Find the power of a convex lens which forms a real, and inverted image of magnification –1 of an object placed at 20 cm from its
optical centre.
4.A student focuses the image of a well illuminated distant object on a screen using a convex lens. After that he gradually moves the
object towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen by adjusting the lens.
(i) In which direction-towards the screen or away from the screen, does he move the lens?
(ii) What happens to the size of the image-does it decrease or increase?
(iii) What happens to the image on the screen when he moves the object very close to the lens?
5.State the laws of refraction of light. Explain the term absolute refractive index of a medium’ and write an expression to relate it with
the speed of light in vacuum.
OR
What is meant by power of a lens? Write its SI unit. A student uses a lens of focal length 40 cm and another of -20 cm. Write the nature
and power of each lens.
6. Draw a ray diagram in each of the following cases to show the formation of image, when the object is
placed:
(i) Between optical centre and principal focus of a convex lens.
(ii) Anywhere in front of a concave lens.
(iii) At 2F of a convex lens.
7.With the help of a ray diagram state what is meant by refraction of light. State Snell’s law for refraction of light and express it
mathematically.
The refractive index of air with respect to glass is 2/3 and the refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3. If the speed of light in
glass is 2 × 108 m/s, find the speed of light in (a) air, (b) water.
8.An object of height 4.0 cm is placed at a distance of 30 cm from optical centre ‘O’ of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. Draw a ray
diagram to find the position and size of the image formed. Mark optical centre ‘O’ and principal focus ‘F’ on the diagram. Also find the
approximate ratio of size of image to the size of object.
9.An object is placed at a distance of 60 cm from a concave lens of focal length 30 cm.
(i) Use the lens formula to find the distance of the image from the lens.
(ii) List four characteristics of the image (nature, position, size, erect/inverted) formed by the lens in this case.
(iii) Draw ray diagram to justify your answer of the part (ii).

objects clearly?

16.A student suffering from myopia is not able to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m.
(a) List two possible reasons due to which this defect of vision may have arisen. With the help of ray diagrams, explain
(i) Why the student is unable to see distinctly the objects placed beyond 5 m from his eyes?
(ii) The type of the corrective lens used to restore proper vision and how this defect is corrected using this lens.
(b) If, in this case, the numerical value of the focal length of the corrective lens is 5 m, find the power of the lens as per the new Cartesian
sign convention
