ASSERTION-REASON:

9. Assertion: A person cannot see the distant object clearly.

Reason: The far point of an eye suffering from myopia is less than infinity.

10. Assertion: The rainbow is a man made spectrum of sunlight in the sky.

Reason: The rainbow is formed in the sky when the sun is shining and it is raining at the same time.

VERY SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONS:

11. What is the line perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence known as?

13. Is air a transparent or an opaque medium for light?

14. What is the speed of light in vacuum?

15. If an object moves with the speed of 1 m/s towards a plane mirror, what is the speed of image with respect to
object?

16. In what condition, the image formed by a concave mirror is virtual?

SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONS:

refractive indices.

18. An object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. Find the position and nature

19. A 5cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 20cm. The distance of
the object from the lens is 30cm. Find the nature, position, and size of the image. Also find its magnification.

20. A concave mirror produces three times enlarged image of an object placed at 10cm in front of it. Calculate the radius
of curvature of the mirror.

21. The image of an object formed by a mirror is real, inverted and is of magnification –1. If the image is at a distance of
40 cm from the mirror, where is the object placed? Where would the image be if the object is

moved 20 cm towards the mirror? State reason and also draw ray diagram for the new position of the object to justify
your answer.

(a) Write the type of mirror. (b) Find the distance of the image from the object.

(c) What is the focal length of the mirror? (d) Draw the ray diagram to show the image formation in this
case.

flame at a distance of 20 cm from its pole.

(i) Which type of mirror should the student use? (ii) Find the magnification of the image produced.
(iii) Find the distance between the object and its image. (iv) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this
case and mark the distance between the object and its image.

25. For the given data showing the focal lengths of three concave mirrors A, B and C, and the respective distances of
different objects from these mirrors.

S.No. Object distance (cm) Focal length (cm)

a. 45 20
b. 30 15

diagram for image formation by this mirror.

(ii) Which mirror can be conveniently used as a make-up mirror? Draw a ray diagram to illustrate this function.

26. If the image formed by mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always virtual and diminished,
state the type of the mirror. Draw a ray diagram in support of your answer. Where are such mirrors commonly used and
why?

27. (a) Differentiate between reflection and refraction.

(b) A lemon kept in water in a glass tumbler appears to be bigger than its actual size, when viewed from the sides.
Explain why it so appears.

LONG-ANSWER QUESTIONS:

28. A student has focussed the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a concave mirror. The situation is as
given below:

Length of the flame = 1.5 cm, Focal length of the mirror = 12 cm, Distance of flame from the mirror = 18 cm

If the flame is perpendicular to the principal axis of the mirror, then calculate the following:

(a) Distance of the image from the mirror

(b) Length of the image.

If the distance between the mirror and the flame is reduced to 10 cm, then what would be observed on the screen?
Draw ray diagram to justify your answer for this situation.
