MAX MARKS: 40
SECTION – A
(Question 1 to 10 carries 1 mark each)
1. Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each. When an object is kept within the focus of a concave mirror, an enlarged
image is formed behind the mirror. This image is

(d) virtual and erect

2. A ray passing through which part of a lens emerges undeviated ?

(a) Focus
(b) Centre of curvature
(c) Optical Centre
(d) Between focus and Centre of curvature

3. The amount of light reflected depends upon

(a) the nature of material of the object
(b) the nature of the surface
(c) the smoothness of the surface
(d) all of the above.

4. To form an image twice the size of the object, using a convex lens of focal length 20 cm, the object distance must
be
(a) < 20
(b) > 20
(c) < 20 cm or between 20 cm and 40 cm
(d) cannot say

5. If f is focal length of the lens, then the power of a lens is equal to

(a) 100 / f (cm)

(b) 10 / f (cm)
(c) 100 / f (m)
(d) 1 / 100 f (cm)

6. Select the incorrect statement stated below related to concave mirror.

(a) Outer surface is coated with opaque substance.
(b) Inner surface is polished and thus reflective.
(c) It is known as converging mirror.
(d) It is used to observe the phenomenon of refraction
 7. The focal length of four convex lens P, Q, R and S are 20 cm, 15 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm, respectively. The lens having
the greatest power is
(a) P
(b) Q
(c) R
(d) S

Directions:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

8. Assertion: If a ray of light is incident on a convex mirror along its principal axis, then the angle of
incidence as well as the angle of reflection for a ray of light will be zero.
Reason: A ray of light going towards the Centre of curvature of a convex mirror is reflected back
along the same path.

9. Assertion: Linear magnification of a mirror has no unit.

Reason: The ratio of height of the image to the height of the object is the linear magnification
produced by mirror.

10. Assertion: Keeping a point object fixed, if a plane mirror is moved, the image will also move.
Reason: In case of a plane mirror, distance of object and its image is equal from any point on the
mirror.
SECTION – B
(Question 11 to 16 carries 2 mark each)

11. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyze this value and state the (i) type of mirror and
(ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in
this case.

12. Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray which is directed towards
the principal focus of a convex mirror. Mark on it the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection.

13. List two possible ways in which a concave mirror can produce a magnified image of an object placed in front of it.
State the difference if any between these two images.
14. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +1/3. Analyzing this value state, the (i) type of mirror and
(ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw any diagram to justify your answer.

15. Draw ray diagrams for the following cases when a ray of light:
(i) passing through Centre of curvature of a concave mirror is incident on it.
(ii) parallel to principal axis is incident on convex mirror.
(iii) is passing through focus of a concave mirror incident on it.

16. (a) Define aperture

(b) Define focal length of a spherical mirror.
SECTION C
(Question 17 to 19 carries 3 mark each)

17. (a) A convex lens of focal length 25 cm and a concave lens of focal length 10 cm are placed in closed
contact with each other. Calculate the lens power of the combination.
(b) Three mirrors, one plane, one concave and one convex are lying on the table. How do you
identify them without touching them or using any other apparatus or device?

18. (a) A convex lens of focal length 2.0 m can produce a magnified virtual as well as real image. Is
this a correct statement? If yes, where shall the object be placed in each case for obtaining these
images?
(b) “The magnification produced by a spherical mirror is -3”. List all information you obtain from
this statement about the mirror/ image.

19. (a) A 5 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length
20 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 30 cm. Find the position, nature and size of the
image formed.
(b) Draw a labelled ray diagram showing object distance, image distance and focal length in the
above case.

SECTION D
(Question 20 carries 5 mark )

20. (a) Draw a diagram and apply [the new Cartesian sign] conventions for calculating focal length and
nature of a spherical mirror which forms a [1/3] times magnified virtual image of an object
placed 18 cm in front of it.
(b) What is understood as lateral displacement of light? Illustrate this with the help of a diagram. List
two factors on which the lateral displacement in a particular substance depends.
(c ) One student uses a lens of focal length +50 cm and another of -50cm. State the nature and find
the power of each lens. Which of the two lenses will always give a virtual and diminished image
irrespective of the position of the object?
 SECTION – E
(Question 21 carries 4 mark each)

21. Light is a form of energy which induces sensation of vision to our eyes. It becomes visible when it bounces off on
surfaces and hits our eyes. The phenomenon of bouncing back of light rays in the same medium on striking a smooth
surface is called reflection of light. If parallel beam of incident rays remains parallel even after reflection and goes only in
one direction is known as regular reflection. It takes place mostly in plane mirrors or highly polished metal surfaces. The
mirror outside the driver side of a vehicle is usually a spherical mirror and printed on such a mirror is usually the warning
"vehicles in this mirror are closer than they appear."
(i) Which type of mirror is used outside the driver's side of a vehicle?
(ii) No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror can be
(iii) If an object is placed at 10 cm from a convex mirror of radius of curvature 60 cm, then find the position of
image.
OR
The focal length of mirror is 12 cm. The radius of curvature is______
