Question 31.


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 =10 cm
If the object is placed at infinity the image is formed at the focus.


We know the focal length(F) is half the radius of curvature(R).  
 F=R2
 F=102
F= 5 cm


So the image of the sun is at 5 cm from the pole.


Question 32.


A light-ray behaves  ________.


  1.     as a particle
  2.     as a wave 
  3.     neither as particle nor a wave 
  4.     both as a particle or a wave depending on the situation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> both as a particle or a wave depending on the situation
:
D

Light has dual nature characteristics. It can behave as a particle or a wave depending on the situation. It behaves as a particle in photoelectric effect and as a wave in diffraction.


Question 33.


 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 only if 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 34.


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=4 cm
Object distance, u=30 cm
Image distance, v=15 cm 
Let image size be hi.
Magnification of a lens is given by:
m=vu=hiho
+1530=hi4
hi=2 cm
Hence, image height is 2 cm and negative sign shows that the image is inverted.
Question 35.


If F1 and F2 represents the foci of the lens, then at which point will the light rays meet?
If F1 And F2 Represents The Foci of The Lens, Then At Whic...


  1.     F1
  2.     2F1
  3.     F2
  4.     2F2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> F2
:
C

The given lens is a convex lens. Rays coming from an infinite source on passing through a convex lens converge at the principal focus (F2) of the lens.
If F1 And F2 Represents The Foci of The Lens, Then At Whic...


Question 36.


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 =20 cm
In the given situation,
Refractive Index of water =μwater=Real  depthApparent  depth
Apparent  depth=Real  depthμwater
Apparent  depth=2043
Therefore, Apparent depth=20×34 = 15 cm. The eagle will perceive the fish to be at 15 cm depth from the water surface.


Question 37.


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 38.


Two plane mirrors are initially inclined at 30° and they are moved apart by 30° each time, till the angle between them becomes 120°. If an object is placed symmetrically between them then find the sum of all the images formed.


  1.     20
  2.     21
  3.     22
  4.     23
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 21
:
B

Here number of images formed during each occassion is noted and added
Number of images formed = n = (360θ  1)


Total number of images = Number of images when angle between mirrors is at 30°, 60°, 90° and 120°
n = (36030  1) + (36060  1) + (36090  1) + (360120  1)


n = 11 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 21


Question 39.


Light rays while entering a denser medium from a rarer medium, bends towards the normal.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     26.66 cm
  4.     15 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The speed of light rays while entering a denser medium from a rarer medium decreases and to reach at the destination in the shortest time (Fermat's principle), it bends towards the normal.
