SHORT QUESTIONS
Define the following:
Lens:
Pieces of curved shaped glass or plastic that refract light in a useful manner are called
lenses.
Converging Lens:
A converging or convex lens is thicker in the centre and bends the light inwards, i.e.,
rays are brought to focus at a point.
Diverging Lens:
A diverging or concave lens is thinner in the centre and spreads out the light rays.
Optical Centre:
At the centre of the circular outline of the lens, midway be w —_n_ he two surfaces is
the optical centre
Principal Focus:
The parallel rays after passing through the lens converge _a single point, called the
focal point or Principal Focus.
Focal Length:
The distance between the focal point and the centre of the lens is called focal length.
Draw and label a diagram to show the difference in shape between:
(a) converging lens and diverging lens:
!
\
(b) real image and virtual image:
objact roa image
Draw diagrams showing the effects of converging and diverging lenses on a
beam of parallel rays

If a convex lens picks up rays from a very distant object where th
formed?
The image will be formed behind the focal point.
jage
Where must be the object placed for image formed by converging lens to be:
(a) real, inverted and smaller than the
object. Beyond 2F
(b) real, inverted and same size of the
object At 2F
(c) real, inverted and larger than the
object Between F and 2F
(d) virtual, upright and larger than the object.
Which part of the eye:
(a) is the 'screen' on which the image is
formed Retina
(b) does most of the converging the
light Cornea
(c) controls the amount of light entering the
eve. Pupil
Where is the image formed in the lens amer:
The image is formed on the FILM.
A lens camera is focused on istant scene. How much its lens to be
adjusted to focus on anearby bject?
For nearer objects it is moved away from the film, the correct setting being shown by
a scale of the focusing ri g.
Whatis the function of le s in a human eye?
The lens itself is used to make focusing adjustment. The shape of the lens is changed
by the ring of ciliary muscle around,
How isthe am unt f light entering a human eye controlled?
Circular muscles around Pupil contract or relax to increase or decrease the size of the
pupil to control the amount of light entering a human eye.
An object is moved closer to a camera and to an eye. What changes must
take place in (a) the camera (b) the eye in order to keep the image in sharp
focus?
Write two similarities and two differences between lens camera and human
eye.
lay
« Light rays are refracted by lens.
* The image formed is real, inverted and smaller than object.

Differences:
* In eye image is formed on retina and in camera image is formed on film.
* Pupil allows light to pass into eye while Shutter allows light to pass into Camera.
What type of lens is used to correct (a) short sightedness (b) long
sightedness?
* Concave lens is used to correct short sightedness which diverge light bef re it
enters the eye to form an image on the retina
+ Convex lens is used to correct long sightedness to bring rays together n the retina,
producing a sharp image
