Question 81.


John is observing his image in a plane mirror. The distance between the mirror and his image is 4 m. If he moves 1 m towards the mirror, then the distance between john and his image will be?  [5 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Concept : 1 Mark
Calculation : 3 Marks
Result : 1 Mark
In the case of a plane mirror, the distance between the object and the mirror is same as the distance between the image and the mirror.


Given,


Distance between the mirror and John's image = 4 m


Distance between mirror and john = 4 m


If John moves 1 m towards the mirror, then distance between mirror and john = 4-1 = 3


Since in plane mirror, the distance between object and mirror is same as that of image and mirror = 3 m


Hence, the distance between John and his image = 3+3 = 6 m
John Is Observing His Image In A Plane Mirror. The Distance ...


Question 82.


What is a lens? Write the differences between concave and convex lenses.  [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Lens : 1 Mark
Differences : 4 Marks
Lenses are pieces of transparent material bound by curved surfaces. Lenses are of two types:


(i)Concave and (ii)convex lens


Convex lens:


1) It is thick at the centre and thinner at edges.


2) It is called converging lens.
 


Concave lens:


1) It is thin at the centre and thicker at edges.


2) It is called diverging lens.


Question 83.


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 84.


Which type of mirror is used in the torches used at homes or by dentists?


  1.     Plane
  2.     Convex
  3.     Concave
  4.     Plano convex
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Concave
:
C

Concave mirrors are used in torches used at homes or by dentists.


In a torch, the bulb is placed at the focal point of the concave mirror so the light from the bulb is reflected as a parallel beam. This helps users to specifically see the object, upon which the beam falls.


Question 85.


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 its focal length f.
R=2f
30=2f
f=15


Therefore, the focal length f=15 cm


Question 86.


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 87.


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 88.


The colours in a rainbow are labelled as:


  1.     VIBGYRO
  2.     VIBGYOR
  3.     VIBYORG
  4.     VIBYOGR
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> VIBGYOR
:
B

The colours in the rainbow are labelled as VIBGYOR. 


VIBGYOR stands for violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.  


Question 89.


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 and diminished image.
A convex lens can form enlarged images and thus are used in magnifying glass and microscope.
Dentists use a concave mirror to see an enlarged image of the teeth. If an object is placed close to a concave mirror it a forms an erect and enlarged image of the object.
Question 90.


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 the rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). Hence a convex lens is a converging lens.
