EXPT:NO-1 FOCAL LENGTH OF CONCAVE MIRROR

Aim:

To determine the focal length of a concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant
object.

Apparatus required:

· A concave mirror , a spherical mirror holder & a white screen made from card board / foam
board & 2m scales

Procedure:

· Place the given concave mirror in the mirror holder.

· Try to locate a distant object seen from the window of your laboratory

· Keep a metre scale along the edge of your experimental table such that it should be in line
with the direction of the distant object.

· Now place the mirror holder with the concave mirror facing the distant object. Adjust to
keep it along the 5cm mark of the meter scale without disturbing the above mentioned setup.

· Take a white cardboard/foam board screen to place it in front of the face of the concave
mirror (ie) the white screen should face opposite to the direction of the distant object. Move the
screen forward & backward, until you are able to catch a well defined, sharp, diminished &
inverted image on the screen

· Mark the position of the screen and measure the distance between the concave mirror and
the screen. This distance is the focal length of the given concave mirror. Record the focal length
of the mirror.

· Repeat the experiment 3 (or) more times to minimise the random error in the measured
focal length, by placing the mirror at different locations of the metre scale. Observe & record the
focal length in each case

· Calculate the average focal length from these values.

EXPT:NO-3 REFRACTION OF LIGHT THROUGH A GLASS SLAB

Aim:

· To trace the path of a ray of light passing obliquely through a rectangular glass slab for
different angles of incidence

· To measure the angle of incidence angle of refraction, angle of emergence for different
angles of incidence and to interpret the result.

Apparatus required:
PHYSICS RECORD WORK- GRADE 10 5

A drawing board, a sheet of paper, board pins, thin & strong bell pins, a rectangular glass
slab and a protractor are required.

Procedure:

· Fix a sheet of paper on the drawing board with the help of drawing pins at the 4 corners of
the sheet

· Place a glass slab at the centre of the paper and mark its boundary ABCD with fine pencil.

· Remove the glass slab. Draw a line xo making an angle of 400 with the normal (MN) at the
point O. This is going to be the angle of incidence for the light entering the glass slab

· Put the glass slab back in position on the boundary line. Fix 2 pins P1 & P2 vertically on the
line xo at least 5cm apart and one pin close to the slab.

· Look for the image of these pins in the slab from the opposite side BC of the glass slab & fix 2
pins P3 & P4, so that they are in the line with the image of P1&P2 as seen through the slab and at
least 5cm apart.

· Join the point at the locations of P3 & P4 to obtain the emergent ray. Draw a normal to BC at
the point ‘O’. Join O’o to get the refracted ray.

· Measure the angle of incidence ‘i’, angle of refraction ‘r’ and the angle of emergence ‘e’ using
a protractor. Produce XO forward & draw a perpendicular from O’ on XO produced to meet it at P.
Then O’P is called the lateral distance

· Repeat the experiment with 2 more angles of incidence 500 & 600

different angles of incidences.
PHYSICS RECORD WORK- GRADE 10 6

· Report on the relation between the angle of incidence, angle of refraction and the angle of
emergence based on different sets of observation taken.

· As angle of refraction < angle of incidence in each case, the ray entering from air to glass
bends towards normal

· As angle of incidence = angle of emergence , the emergent ray emerging out of the
rectangular glass slab, is parallel to , but laterally displaced with respect to the incident ray.

· Precautions:

· The angle of incidence should preferably be between 300 & 600

· These lines should be drawn, using a sharp pencil.

EXPT:NO-4 REFRACTION OF LIGHT THROUGH A PRISM

Aim:

To trace the path of rays of light through a glass prism & to measure the angle of deviation.

Apparatus Required:

A glass prism, drawing board, white paper, adhesive tape (or) drawing pins, board/bell pins, a
measuring scale, a sharp pencil & a protractor are required.

Procedure:

· Take a white sheet of paper and pin the 4 corners using board pins on a drawing board.

· Place the glass prism at the centre of the paper. Trace the outline of the prism and mark it as
ABC.

· Take the prism out from the drawing board and mark a point “D” on the side AB of the
outline marking of the prism such that D is located just above the midpoint of AB.

· Place a protractor at D and mark a point at 900. From the point D draws a normal through
this point marked at 900. Also just extend the normal below the line AB towards the point F.

· Place the protractor with an o o line along the normal. Measure the angle 300 and mark the
angle of incidence. Now draw the incident ray P1P2.

· Fix 2 pins perpendicular to the plane paper at the incident ray P1P2 at a distance of 5cm from
each other

· Now place the prism on this outline ABC. View these 2 pins P3&P4 so that P1,P2,P3 &P4 are
collinear.
PHYSICS RECORD WORK- GRADE 10 7

· Remove the prism & the pins. Join the pin pricks & extend the line to meet the outline of the
prism on the side AC at E. Join DE so that DE represents the refracted ray through the prism.

· Let “r” be the angle of refraction during the refraction at the point “D”

· Join the pin pricks P3 & P4 from the point E to represent the emergent ray.

· Now produce the incident ray and emergent ray backward into the outline of the prism. The
2 rays will meet at a point “O”. The external angle so formed is called angle of deviation “d”

· Repeat the experiment for different angles of incidence; plot the corresponding refracted
rays and emergent rays & measure t5he corresponding angles of refraction & angles of
deviation.

· Tabulate these angles measured.

S.No Angle of Incidence “I” Angle of deviation “d”

1 300 480

2 400 390

3 500 410

4 600 450

Result:

· Paths of light passing through the prism were traced for various angles of incidence & their
corresponding angles of deviation were measured

· It is observed that when the angle of incidence “i” increases, then the value of deviation also
increases & becomes a minimum & then it increases again

Precautions:

· The angle of incidence should be between 300 and 600

· In order to locate the direction of incident ray of the refracted ray with greater accuracy,
the distance between the pins P1 & P2; and that between P3 & P4 should not be too short (or) too
large. A separation of nearly 5cm between the pins would be sufficient.

EXPT:NO-7 RESISTORS IN SERIES COMBINATION

Aim

To determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors when connected in series.

Theory

The resistance can be increased or decreased depending on the combination and connections in
a circuit. The difference between the series and parallel circuit is based on the arrangement of
the resistors. Resistors are said to be connected in series if their ends are joined. The potential
difference across each resistor would be different, but the current would be the same.

If two resistors are connected in series, then;

Resistance, R = R1+R2

Current, I = constant

Potential difference, V = V1+V2

On applying Ohm’s law, we get,

V1 = IR1; V2 =IR2;V = V1+V2

V = I(R1+R2)

∴ R = R1+R2

Materials Required

Two resistors of different values,A battery of 6 volts,Ammeter,Plug key,Connecting wires,A piece
