Question 31. A concave lens always forms a virtual image.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Convex
  4.    Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
A concave lens always forms a virtual image no matter where the object is. A concave lens is a diverging lens.It causes light to spread out, resulting in a smaller image for the viewer.
Question 32. Concave mirror always forms a virtual image.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Convex
  4.    Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Convex mirror always forms a virtual image.A concave mirror can form a real or a virtual image depending on the distance of the object and the mirror.
Question 33. When light rays are passed through a prism, the phenomenon that occurs is known as ___________ of light.
  1.    reflection
  2.    diffraction
  3.    scattering
  4.    dispersion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> dispersion
:
D
When light rays are passed through a prism, the phenomenon that happens is knownas the dispersion of light.The splittingof whitelightinto its constituentcolors is known asdispersion.
Question 34. Which colour is represented by the letter "I” in "VIBGYOR”?
  1.    Ivory
  2.    Ink
  3.    Indigo
  4.    Indica
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Indigo
:
C
The letter "I” in "VIBGYOR” represents the colour "indigo”. VIBGYOR stand for violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
Question 35. Match the following:
 (A) Plane mirror
(1) Always virtual, erect and dimnished image
(B) Convex mirror
(2) Image is erect and of the same size as the object
(C) Convex lens
(3) Used by dentists to see enlarged images of teeth
(D) Concave mirror
(4) Used in microscope.
  1.    (A)-1, (B)-2, (C)-3, (D)-4
  2.    (A)-3, (B)-1, (C)-2, (D)-4
  3.    (A)-1, (B)-2, (C)-4, (D)-3
  4.    (A)-2, (B)-1, (C)-4, (D)-3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> (A)-2, (B)-1, (C)-4, (D)-3
:
D
A plane mirror forms a virtual and erect image. The size of an image is the same as the size of the object.
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect anddiminished image.
A convex lens can form enlarged images and thus are used in magnifying glass and microscope.
Dentistsuse a concave mirrortosee an enlarged imageof theteeth. If an object is placed close to aconcave mirrorit a forms an erect andenlarged imageof the object.
Question 36. Which word would not read the same in a plane mirror?
  1.    MOM
  2.    WOW
  3.    TOT
  4.    NON
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> NON
:
D
Image formed by a plane mirror is laterally inverted and therefore the letters get inverted about the vertical axis.Which Word Would Not Read The Same In A Plane Mirror?A word that is horizontally symmetrical about its centre letter would read the same in a mirror.
Question 37. Convex lens are the lens which are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Concave
  4.    Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Yes, a convex lens is the one which is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
Convex lenses are thicker at the middle and therefore therays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). Hence aconvex lens is aconverging lens.
Question 38. Real images can be formed on a screen.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Concave
  4.    Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Real images are formed on screen due to the actual intersection/meeting of rays. Virtual images, on the other hand, are result of rays appearing to meet at a point. So, we can obtain a real image on a screen. E.g. The image of the sun obtained on a piece of paper using a concave mirror.
Question 39. If the radius of curvature (R) of a convex mirror is 30 cm. What is its focal length?
  1.    30 cm
  2.    60 cm
  3.    15 cm
  4.    10 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 15 cm
:
C
For a convex mirror, the radius of curvature R, is twice itsfocal length f.
R=2f
30=2f
f=15

Therefore, the focal lengthf=15cm
Question 40. A convex lens always forms a virtual image.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Inner - convex; Outer - concave
  4.    Inner - convex; Outer - convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The image formed by the convex lens can be real or virtual depending on the distance between the object and the lens.Real images only occurfor objects which are placed outside and far from the convex lens.Virtual images are formed by placing an object between focus and pole of the mirror.
