Question 11. An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from the lens. Its image is formed at a distance of 10 cm on the same side of the lens. Find the focal length of the lens used.
  1.    f=10 cm
  2.    f=−10 cm
  3.    f=+15 cm
  4.    f=−15 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> f=−15 cm
:
D
Given:
Image distance v=10cm
Object distance u=30cm
(Using the sign conventions)
Let focal length of the lens be f.
Using the lens formula,
1f=1v1u
1f=(110)(130)
f=15cm
Here, negative sign for focal length shows that the lens is concave.
Question 12. An object is placed at 60 m in front of a concave mirror. If its radius of curvature is 40 m, then find the image distance.
  1.    20 m
  2.    30 m
  3.    60 m
  4.    120 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 30 m
:
B
Given:
Radius of curvature, R=40m
Object distance, u=60m
Let the sign convention be such that the object distance is negative i.e. positive direction is taken along the direction of the incident ray.
From mirror formula,
1v+1u=1f
where:
v: Position of image
f: Focal length
But focal length is half of the radius.
f=R2=20m
1v+160=120
v=30m
Negative sign represents that object andimage are on the same side of mirror.
Question 13. In the mirror shown, the reflected ray will ___.
In The Mirror Shown, the reflected Ray Will ___.
  1.    pass through F 
  2.    pass through C  
  3.    appear to come from F 
  4.    appear to come from C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> appear to come from F 
:
C
In The Mirror Shown, the reflected Ray Will ___.
Ray parallel to principal axis after hitting the convex mirror will appear to come from its focus.
Question 14. A plane mirror and an object approach each other with speeds of 5 ms1 and 10 ms1 respectively. What will be the speed of the image w.r.t. the stationary observer?
  1.    5 ms−1
  2.    15 ms−1
  3.    20 ms−1
  4.    25 ms−1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 25 ms−1
:
D
Given:
Speed of object, uo=5ms1
Speed of mirror, um=10ms1
Mirror and object are approaching each other.
To find:
Speed of image
Procedure:
Let initial position of object be at xoi=0
Let initial position of mirror be at xmi=u
Object distance equals the image distance. Hence, initial position of image is xii=2u
Distance is the product of speed and time.
After time t,
Position of object will be:
xof=xoi+uot=5t
Position of mirror will be:
xmf=xmiuft=u10t
Let the final position of image be xif
Using object distance equals image distance after time t.
xifxmf=xmfxof
xif=2u25t
Distance moved by image in time t is:
si=xifxii
si=25t
Speed is the ratio of distance and time. Speed of the image is:
vi=sit=25
Negative sign appears because image is moving leftwards.
Hence, speed of image is 25ms1
Question 15. A fish is swimming in a river at a depth of 20 cm from the surface of the water. Refractive Index of water is 43. At what depth will an eagle flying above the water and exactly above the fish will see the fish?
  1.    10 cm
  2.    20 cm
  3.    26.66 cm
  4.    15 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 15 cm
:
D
Given:
Refractive index of water, μwater= 43
Real depth of fish from surface of water=20cm
In the given situation,
Refractive Index of water =μwater=RealdepthApparentdepth
Apparentdepth=Realdepthμwater
Apparentdepth=2043
Therefore, Apparentdepth=20×34 = 15 cm. The eagle will perceive the fish to be at 15cm depth from the water surface.
Question 16.  A concave mirror of small aperture forms a sharper image.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    f1f2f1+f2
  4.    f1+f22
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The rays of light travelling parallel to the principal axis, after reflection from a concave mirror meet at a single point onlyif the beam of light is narrow or if the mirror is of small aperture. In case, a wide beam of light falls on a concave mirror of large aperture, the rays after reflection would not converge at a single point. Therefore, if the aperture of the mirror is small, the image formed will be sharper.
Question 17. The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is 10 cm. If I want to capture the image of the sun, at what distance from the pole of the mirror would an image be formed?
  1.    10 cm 
  2.    5 cm  
  3.    20 cm 
  4.    At infinity
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5 cm  
:
B
Given, Radius of curvature =10cm
If theobject is placed at infinity the image is formed at thefocus.
We know the focal length(F) is half the radius of curvature(R).
F=R2
F=102
F=5cm
So the image of thesun is at 5 cm from the pole.
Question 18. How will the magnitude of magnification change, if an object placed at the center of curvature of a concave mirror is moved towards the focus?
  1.    Decreases
  2.    Increases
  3.    Remains constant
  4.    Magnification reaches zero
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Increases
:
B
Magnification is given by:
Magnification=Height of imageHeight of object
At center of curvature,
Image size equals the object size. Magnitude of magnification is unity.
At focus,
Image size equals infinity.Magnitude of magnification is infinity.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the magnification is increasing.
Question 19. OA is an object with object size 4 cm and O'A' is the image of the object. Find the height of the image formed.OA Is An Object With Object Size 4 cm And O'A' is The Imag...
  1.    3 cm
  2.    2 cm
  3.    4 cm
  4.    3 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2 cm
:
B
Given:
Object size, ho=4cm
Object distance, u=30cm
Imagedistance, v=15cm
Let image size be hi.
Magnification of a lens is given by:
m=vu=hiho
+1530=hi4
hi=2cm
Hence, image height is 2cm and negative sign shows that the image is inverted.
Question 20.


A lens forms a virtual, erect and diminished image of an object placed at a distance of 2 m from it. The size of the image formed is half of that of the object. Which of the following statement is correct regarding the nature and focal length of the lens?

 


  1.     Concave lens,  f=2 m
  2.     Convex lens,  f=2 m
  3.     Concave lens,  f=2 m
  4.     Convex lens,  f=2 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Concave lens,  f=2 m
:
C
Let u be the object distance, v be the image distance,
and f be the focal length.
Given:
As per sign conventions, u=2 m 
Magnification m=12    (Since size of image is half of that of object)
Magnification in lenses m=vu
12=vu
We get v=u2
  v=22=1 m
Using lens formula ,
1v1u=1f 

1112=1f


121=1f


f=2 m
Here negative sign indicates that the lens is a concave lens.
