Refraction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. For the same angle of incidence of 450, the refraction angle in two transparent
medium P and Q is 200 and 300 respectively. Which of the two is optically
denser and why?
2. Draw a labeled ray diagram to show the path of a ray of light incident
obliquely on one face of a glass slab.
3. Calculate the refractive index of the material of a glass slab. Given that the
speed of through the glass slab is 2 x 108m/s and in air 3 x 108m/s.
4. A lens produces a magnification of -0.5. Is this a converging or diverging
lens? If the focal length of the lens is 6cm, draw a ray diagram showing the
image formation in this case.
5. Show diagrammatically, how two converging lenses should be arranged so
that a parallel beam becomes parallel after passing through two lenses.
6. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyses this
value and state the (i) type of mirror (ii) position of the object with respect to
the pole of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to show the formation of image in
this case.
7. Distinguish between real image and virtual image.
8. Distinguish between a convex lens and a concave lens.
9. A man is holding a lighted candle in front of a thick glass mirror and on
viewing it obliquely he noticed a number of images of the candle. Why?
10. Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray
corresponding to the ray which is directed towards the principal of a convex
mirror. Mark the angle of incidence and angle of reflection on it.
11. A student focuses the image of a candle flame, placed at about 2m from a
convex lens of focal length 10cm, on a screen. After that he moves gradually
the flame towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen.
(i) In which direction does he move the lens to focus the flame on the
screen?
(ii) What happens to the size of the image of the flame formed on the screen?
(iii) What difference is seen in the intensity (brightness) of the image of the
flame on the screen?
(iv) What is seen on the screen when the flame is very close about 5cm to
the lens?
12. An object is placed in front of a concave mirror of focal length 12cm. If
distance of the object from the poles the mirror is 8cm, then use mirror formula
to determine the position of the image formed. Draw a labelled ray diagram to
justify your answer in this case.
13. State Snell’s law of refraction of light. When a ray of light travelling in air
enters obliquely into a glass slab, it is observed that the light ray emerges
parallel to the incident ray but it is shifted sideways slightly. Draw a labelled
ray diagram to illustrate it.
14. What is meant by power of a lens? Write its SI unit. A student uses a lens of
focal length 40cm and another of -20cm. Write the nature and power of each
lens.
15. A security mirror used in a big showroom has radius of curvature 5m. If a
customer is standing at a distance of 20m from the cash counter find the
position, nature and size of the image formed in the security mirror.
16. Neha visited a dentist in his clinic. She observed that the dentist was holding
an instrument fitted with a mirror. State the nature of this mirror and reason for
its use in the instrument used by dentist.
17. A concave mirror of focal length 10cm can produce a magnified real as well
as virtual image of an object placed in front of it. Draw ray diagrams to justify
this statement.
18. An object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex mirror of
focal length 10cm. The distance of the object from the pole of the mirror is
10cm. Find the position of the image formed.
19. The image formed by a spherical mirror is real, inverted and is of magnification
-2. If the image is at a distance of 30cm from the mirror, where is the object
placed? Find the focal length of the mirror. List two characteristics of the image
formed if the object is moved 10cm towards the mirror.
20. A 2cm high object is placed at a distance of 32cm from a concave mirror. The
image is real, inverted and 3cm in size. Find the focal length of the mirror and
the position where the image if formed?
