WORKSHEET FOR SECTION A
Select and write the most appropriate option out of the four options given for each of the
questions 1-20. There is no negative mark for incorrect response.
1. An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Its image is formed:
a) at a distance equal to the object distance in front of the mirror.
b) at twice the distance of the object in front of the mirror.
c) half the distance of the object in front of the mirror.
d) behind the mirror and it’s position varies according to the object distance.
2. When light enters the atmosphere, it strikes on extremely fine particles, which deflect
the rays of light in all possible directions, this is due to –
(a) reflection of light
(b) atmospheric refraction
(c) scattering of light
(d) dispersion of light
3. The face of the moon that is visible to us is called as the near side and the face of the
moon which is invisible to us is called as far side. What colour would the sky appear
to an astronaut standing on the "far side" of the Moon and why?
(a) blue, as the Moon's atmosphere scatters sunlight just like Earth
(b) white, as the Moon's surface reflect all the light that falls on it
(c) black, as there is no atmosphere on Moon to scatter sunlight
(d) black, as sunlight does not fall on the far side of the Moon
4. When an object was kept at position X in front of a concave mirror, an enlarged and
virtual image was formed. Which among the following identifies 'X' correctly?
(a) anywhere between the centre of curvature and principal focus
(b) anywhere between the pole and principal focus
(c) exactly at the centre of curvature
(d) exactly at the principal focus
5. When an object moves closer to a concave lens, the Image formed by it shifts
(a) Away from the lens
(b) First away and then towards the lens
(c) Towards the lens
(d) First towards and then away from the lens
6. The value of least distance of distinct vision for a normal human eye is
(a) 35cm (b) 45cm (c) 25cm (d) 70cm
7. The defect caused by the weakening of ciliary muscles is
(a) Myopia (b) Presbyopia (c) Hypermetropia (d) Astigmatism
8. A rainbow is always formed in a direction
(a)Opposite to the sun
(b) Above the sun
(c) Below the sun

AY 2023-24
 (d) At a level of the sun
9. The resistance of the wire when the length of the wire increases two times
(a) Becomes 2 times
(b) Becomes 3 times
(c) Becomes 6 times
(d) Becomes 4 times
10. To determine the equivalent resistance of two resistors, when connected in series, the
correct way of connecting ammeter and voltmeter in the circuit is
(a) Both ammeter and voltmeter in series
(b) ammeter in parallel and voltmeter in series
(c) Both ammeter and voltmeter in parallel
(d) ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel
11. Which one is correct among the following?
(a) Red insulated wire is called live wire
(b) Green insulated wire is called earthing
(c) Black insulated wire is called neutral wire
(d) All of the above
12. Strength of the magnetic field at a point in the space surrounding the magnet is
measured by
(a) Thickness of the magnet
(b) The number of lines crossing a given point
(c) The resistance of it
(d) Length of the magnet
13. Assertion (A): Iron filings scattered around a straight current carrying conductor in a
plane perpendicular to the length of the conductor, arrange themselves in concentric
circles.
Reason (R): Magnetic field has both magnitude and direction.
14. Assertion (A): A compass needle is placed near a current carrying wire. The deflection
of the compass needle decreases when the magnitude of the current in the wire is
increased.
Reason (R): The strength of a magnetic field at a point near the conductor increases
on increasing the current.
15. Assertion (A): Tungsten metal is used for making filaments of incandescent lamps.
Reason (R): The melting point of tungsten is very low.
16. Assertion (A): Longer wires have greater resistance and the smaller wires have lesser
resistance.
Reason (R): Resistance is inversely proportional to the length of the wire.
17. Assertion (A): Light does not travel in the same direction in all the media.
Reason (R): The speed of light does not change as it enters from one transparent
medium to another.
18. Assertion(A): The mirrors used in search lights are concave spherical.
Reason (R): In concave spherical mirror the image formed is always virtual.
19. Assertion(A): Hypermetropia is the defect of the eye in which only farther objects are
seen.
Reason (R): Hypermetropia is corrected by using converging lens.
20. Assertion (A): The stars twinkle, while the planets do not.
Reason (R): The stars are much bigger in size than the planets.

(b) In which case does the speed of light increase in the second medium? Give reasons
for your answer.
22. A piece of wire of resistance R is cut into three equal parts. These parts are then
connected in parallel. If the equivalent resistance of this parallel combination is R1,
what is the value of the ratio R1 : R?
