Extra questions

CLASS: X SUBJECT: PHYSICS


Chapter: Light – Reflection and refraction
Topic : Refraction – Spherical lenses

1. Study the given ray diagrams and select the correct statement from the
following:

a) Device X is a concave mirror and


device Y is a convex lens, whose
focal lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm
respectively
b) Device X is a convex lens and device
Y is a convex mirror, whose focal lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm
respectively
c) Device X is a concave lens and device Y is a convex mirror, whose focal
lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively
d) Device X is a convex lens and device Y is a concave mirror, whose focal
lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively
Ans. (d)
2. The diagram given below shows an object O and its image I. Without
actually drawing the ray diagram state the following:

(i) Type of lens (Converging /


Diverging)
(ii) Name two optical instruments
where such an image is obtained.
(iii) List three characteristic of the
image formed if this lens is replaced
by a concave mirror of focal length f
and an object is placed at a distance
f/2 in front of the mirror. [CBSE 2020]

Ans. (i) Converging lens


(ii) Microscope and Telescope
(iii) Characteristic of the image formed are:

(a) Virtual image
(b) Magnified image
(c) Image behind the mirror

3. If the image formed by a lens for all positions of an object placed in front
of it is always erect and diminished, what is the nature of this lens ? Draw
a ray diagram to justify your answer. If the numerical value of the power
of this lens of 10 D, what is its focal length in the Cartesian system? [CBSE
2017]
Ans: As the image formed is always erect and dimished, lens is
concave lens.
Nature of the lens : Diverging (Concave) lens

We know,
P(Power)=1/ f (focal length)
10= 1/ f
f=1/10 =0.1 m
or f = 10cm
So,
f=−10cm
f= 0.1 m
4. Analyse the following observation table showing variation of image
distance (v) with object distance (u) in case of a convex lens and answer
the questions that follow, without doing any calculations:

Page 2 of 4
a) What is the focal length of the convex lens? Give reason in
support of your answer.
b) Write the serial number of that observation which is not correct.
How did you arrive at this conclusion?
c) Take an appropriate scale to draw ray diagram for the observation
at S. No. 4 and find the approximate value of magnification.
Ans: (i) From S. No- 3, we can say that the radius of curvature of the lens is 30
cm because when an object is placed at the centre of curvature of a convex
lens, its image is formed on the other side of the lens at the same distance
from the lens. And, we know that focal length is half of the radius of curvature.
Thus, the focal length of the lens is + 15 cm.
(ii) S. No- 6 is not correct as the object distance is between focus and pole so
for such cases the image formed is always virtual but in this case a real image is
forming as the image distance is positive.
(iii) m=-3
5. a) Define focal length of a divergent lens.
b) A divergent lens of focal length 30 cm forms the image of an object of
size 6 cm on the same side as the object at a distance of 15 cm from its
optical centre. Use lens formula to determine the distance of the object
from the lens and the size of the image formed.
c) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in the above
situation.

Ans: a. The distance between the principal focus and the optical centres of the
concave lens or diverging lens is called the focal length of a diverging lens.

b. v = -15cm
f= -30cm
Object distance,u= ?
h= 6 cm
Image height, h’=?

i/v-1/u = 1/f
1/-15 – 1/u = 1/-30
-1/u = 1/15 – 1/30
-1/u = 1/30
u= -30cm
h’/h = v/u
h’ = (h x v)/u
= (6x -15)/-30 =
= 3 cm

c. Diagram : b/n infinity and O
