SECTION -A

1. A 10 mm long awl pin is placed vertically in front of a concave mirror. 1

A 5 mm long image of the awl pin is formed at 30 cm in front of the mirror. The focal
length of this mirror is
(a) -30 cm. (b) -20 cm. (c) -40 cm (d) -60 cm

2. A ray of light is travelling in a direction perpendicular to the boundary of a parallel 1

glass slab. The ray of light:
(a) Is refracted towards the normal
(b) Is refracted away from the normal
(c) Is reflected along the same path
(d) Does not get refracted
virtual
3. Under which of the following conditions a concave mirror can form an image larger 1
than the actual object?
(a) When the object is kept at a distance equal to its radius of curvature
(b) When object is kept at a distance less than its focal length
(c) When object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature
(d) When object is kept at a distance greater than its radius of curvature

4. A lens of focal length 12 cm forms an erect image, three times the size of the object. 1
The distance between the object and image is:

(a) 8 cm (b) 16 cm (c) 24 cm. (d) 36 cm

5. The sky appears blue because: 1

(a) blue light gets absorbed in the atmosphere
(b) ultraviolet rays are absorbed in the atmosphere
(c) violet and blue light gets scattered more than light of all other colours
by the atmosphere
(d) light of all other colours are scattered more than the violet and blue
colour light by the atmosphere.

6. If a beam of red light and a beam of violet light are incident at the same angle on the 1
inclined surface of a prism from air medium
and produce angles of refraction r and v respectively, which of the following is
correct?

(a) r = v (b) r > v (c) r =1/v (d) r<v

1
7. The image shows the path of incident rays to a concave mirror. 1

Where would the reflected rays meet for the image formation to take place?
(a) behind the mirror (b) between F and O
(c) between C and F (d) beyond C

8. The deflection of light by minute particles and molecules of the atmosphere 1

in all directions is called ____________ of light.
(a) dispersion (b) scattering
(c) interference (d) tyndall effect

SECTION B
9. Assertion(A): Scattering of light is the reflection of light from an object in all 1
directions.
Reason(R): The colour of scattered light depends on the size of scattering particles
and wavelength of light.
(a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true and R is false.
(d) A is false and R is true.

10. Rahul conducts an experiment using an object of height 10 cm and a concave lens with 1
focal length 20 cm. The object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from the lens. Can the
image be formed on a screen?
(a) yes, as the image formed will be real
(b) yes, as the image formed will be erect
(c) no, as the image formed will be virtual
(d) no, as the image formed will be inverted
11. Which is the correct ray diagram? 1

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4

12. An object is placed 20 cm in front of a plane mirror. The mirror is moved 2 cm 1

seen in the mirror is:
