Question 22. Give three uses of Convex mirrors.  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Uses : 1 Mark each
(i)They are also put on corners of roads so that you can see any cars coming to avoid collisions.
(ii)Convex mirrors are also used in making lenses of sunglasses to help reflect the light of sun away from the eyes of the person wearing the sunglasses.
(iii)They are also used in telescopes.
Question 23. What do you mean by:
(i) Ray of light
(ii) Beam of light  [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Sub-parts: 1 Mark each
(i) A ray of light indicates a single ray of light.
(ii) A bundle of light rays collectively is called a Beam of light.
Question 24. Which type of spherical mirror is used as reflectors at sharp turns or blind corners in big shopping malls or as rear-view mirrors in cars?  [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Answer : 1 Mark
Reason : 1 Mark
Convex mirror is used as reflectors at sharp turns or blind corners.
Convex mirrors are also known as converging mirror. Because of this the image formed by the mirror is a converged image of numerous objects. This gives the driver a larger field of vision thus, helping them take well-informed decisions.
Question 25. (a) What is a virtual image?
(b) When is a virtual formed?  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
(a) Definition: 1 Mark
(b)Explanation: 2 Marks
(a) The image that cannot be obtained on a screen is called a virtual image.

(b) Avirtual imageis animage formedwhen the outgoing rays from a point on an object always diverge. Theimageappears to be located at the point of apparent divergence. Because the rays never really converge, avirtual imagecannot be projected onto a screen.
Question 26. The bouncing back of light from a shiny surface is called as ___________.
  1.    reflection
  2.    refraction
  3.    absorption
  4.    diffraction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> reflection
:
A
The bouncing back of light from a shiny surfaceis called asreflection. Reflection always follows certain laws called the laws of reflection. The laws are as follows:
1. Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
2. The incident ray, normal and the reflected ray lie in the same plane.
Question 27. If the reflecting surface is curved outwards it is a convex mirror.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Convex
  4.    Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
If the reflecting surface is curved outwards it is a convex mirror. A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image. A convex mirror is a divergent mirror i.e it has wide field of view. Hence, the convex mirror is used as a side-view mirror in vehicles.
Question 28. Image formed by a ____________ mirror is always of the same size as the object.
  1.    plane
  2.    concave
  3.    convex
  4.    spherical
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> plane
:
A
Image formed by a plane mirror is erect and always of the same size as the object. The image formed by a convex mirror is upright but reduced in size whereas in a concave mirror the size of image is not fixed.
Question 29. What colour of light is obtained when we mix beams of light of all colour?
  1.    White
  2.    Blue
  3.    Green
  4.    Black
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> White
:
A
When white light is passed through a prism, it splits into seven different colours namely, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. If we do the reverse, that is mix the beams of light of all colour, white light is obtained.
Question 30. Name the lens which is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges.
  1.    Prism
  2.    Concave
  3.    Convex
  4.    Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Concave
:
B
Aconcave lensis thicker at the edges than in the middle. It diverges an incident parallel beam of light.
A convex lens is thicker in the middle than at the edges. It converges an incident parallel beam of light.Name The Lens Which Is Thinner At The Center And Thicker At ...
