Geometrical Optics. Test Paper 1 (HL)

The document contains a 12 question test on geometrical optics. The questions cover topics like reflection and refraction at plane and curved surfaces, focal lengths of mirrors and lenses, formation of real and virtual images, dispersion of light, and more. Students are asked to determine focal lengths, angles of incidence and refraction, positions and descriptions of images, refractive indices, and powers of lenses based on information provided about the optical setups. The final score and mark for the test are left blank.

that the angle of incidence is twice its size. 3 marks

Answer: ________________________________.
5. Determine the angle of refraction of a ray travelling through air that
strikes a sheet of diamond (n = 2.4) and forms an angle of incidence of 30°
with its surface. 3 marks

Answer: ________________________________.
6. A divergent lens forms the image of an object AB 9 cm away. Find the
power of the lens if the height of the image is 8 cm and the height of the
object is 24 cm. 4 marks

7. Build the image of the object AB in a plane mirror using the intersection
of rays. Describe the image.
B 3 marks

8. Build the image of the object AB in a concave mirror. Describe the


image.

9. Complete the empty cells for the statements to be true: 5 marks
Visible light is composed of seven colours, each with its own .
A light ray has to refract at least times in order to disperse. The red light has
the wavelength. The purple one has the wavelength.
The transparent object used for dispersion in a laboratory is called a .
Light passing from a transparent environment of lower index into an environment
with a higher refractive index will form a angle with the normal
compared to the angle of incidence.
