IG 10 Max.
marks - 20
1. The diagram shows the image of a clock in a plane mirror.

Which is the actual time?


A 04:15 B 04:45 C 07:15 D 07:45
2. A converging lens produces an image of an object O. The focal length of the lens is f. Which
position of the object produces a virtual image?

3. A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror. A student measures the angle of incidence i and
the angle of reflection r.

The student varies the angle of incidence and then plots a graph of r against i. What does the
graph look like?
4.  What is monochromatic light?

A  light of a single amplitude B  light of a single frequency

C  light of more than one colour D  light which travels with constant velocity

5.  A person stands 1.0 m in front of a plane mirror. The mirror is moved away from the person
at a speed of 1.0m/s. Which statement is correct?
A  The image moves away from the person at a speed of 1.0 m / s.
B  The image moves away from the person at a speed of 2.0 m / s.
C  The image moves towards the person at a speed of 1.0 m / s.
D  The image moves towards the person at a speed of 2.0 m / s.

6.  White light is refracted and dispersed when it enters a glass prism from air. Which colour has
the lowest speed as it moves through the glass prism?
A  blue light B  orange light C  red light D  violet light

7.  An object is placed 30 cm in front of a plane mirror. Which statement describes the image of
the object?
A  The image is the same size and 30 cm from the object.
B  The image is the same size and 60 cm from the object.
C  The image is smaller and 30 cm from the object.
D  The image is smaller and 60 cm from the object.
8.  A small object O is placed near a converging lens, as shown. The lens forms an image I.

Which statement is correct?


A  The image I is diminished. B  The image I is inverted.
C  The image I is real. D  The object O is closer to the lens than its principal focus.
9.  An eclipse of the Sun happens when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.
Which statement is correct?
A  Infra-red radiation from the Sun disappears before visible light and ultra-violet radiation.
B  Ultra-violet radiation from the Sun disappears before visible light and infra-red radiation.
C  Visible light from the Sun disappears before ultra-violet radiation and infra-red radiation.
D  Infra-red radiation, ultra-violet radiation and visible light from the Sun all disappear at the
same moment.
10.  Light is travelling through air. The light strikes a glass block at an angle of incidence of 45°.
The glass has a refractive index of 1.4. What is the angle of refraction of the light as it enters the
glass?
A 29° B 30° C 32° D 82°

11. Which conditions are necessary for light to be totally internally reflected?

12.  A beam of light passes through a vacuum and then enters a liquid. The diagram shows the
path it takes.

The light travels through the vacuum at a speed of 3.0 ⋅ 108 m / s. What is the speed of light in
the liquid?
A 1.9⋅108m/s B 2.0⋅108m/s C 4.6⋅108m/s D 4.8⋅108m/s

13.  Which diagram correctly represents rays of light passing through a converging lens in a
camera?
14. What is the speed of X-rays in a vacuum and in air?

15. Which diagram shows how the light from a candle is reflected by a mirror, and shows the
position of the image formed?
16. A converging lens can be used as a magnifying glass. What will be the nature of the image?
A  real, inverted, diminished B  real, upright, enlarged
C  virtual, inverted, enlarged D  virtual, upright, enlarged
17.  The wavelength of blue light changes from 4.7 ⋅ 10–7 m to 3.5 ⋅ 10–7 m as it passes from air
to water. What is the speed of this light in water?
A 7.4⋅107m/s B 1.3⋅108m/s C 2.2⋅108m/s D 3.0⋅108m/s

18. A narrow beam of white light passes through a prism and is dispersed into a spectrum.
19. An optical lever is a very sensitive device for detecting small rotations. A lamp sends a
narrow beam of light on to a small plane mirror attached to a shaft whose rotation is to be
measured. The operation of the device is shown in plan view.

The beam from the lamp reflects from the mirror to give a small spot of light on a scale placed
just above the lamp. The shaft and mirror rotate through 1°. The spot of light moves along the
scale.

The table shows the angle θ through which the reflected beam rotates and the conditions
required for high sensitivity.

Which row is correct?


20.  A driver sits in a car. She has a rear-view plane mirror 0.5 m in front of her. A bus is 7.5 m
behind the driver.

The driver looks at the image of the bus in her mirror.How far is the image away from her?
A 1.0m B 7.5m C 8.0m D 8.5m
