‭9‬ ‭ ne-half‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭convex‬ ‭lens‬ ‭is‬ ‭covered‬ ‭with‬ ‭a‬ ‭black‬ ‭paper.‬ ‭Will‬ ‭this‬ ‭lens‬
O
‭produce‬‭a‬‭complete‬‭image‬‭of‬‭the‬‭object?‬‭Verify‬‭your‬‭answer‬‭experimentally.‬
‭Explain your observations‬
‭ ns.:‬
A
‭Even‬ ‭if‬ ‭half‬‭of‬‭the‬ ‭convex‬‭lens‬‭is‬ ‭covered‬‭with‬‭a‬‭black‬‭sheet‬‭of‬‭paper,‬
‭the‬ ‭lens‬ ‭will‬ ‭produce‬ ‭a‬ ‭complete‬ ‭image‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭object‬‭.‬ ‭However,‬ ‭the‬
 ‭intensity of the image will be less‬

‭10‬ D‭ efine power of a lens and write its S.I. unit.‬

‭Ans.:‬ ‭Power‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭lens‬ ‭is‬ ‭its‬ ‭ability‬ ‭to‬ ‭converge‬ ‭or‬ ‭diverge‬ ‭the‬ ‭rays‬ ‭of‬ ‭light‬
‭falling on it. S.I. Unit is‬‭'dioptre'‬

‭ hy‬ ‭is‬ ‭there‬ ‭no‬ ‭dispersion‬ ‭of‬ ‭light‬ ‭refracted‬ ‭through‬ ‭a‬ ‭rectangular‬ ‭glass‬
‭slab?‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭The‬ ‭dispersion‬ ‭is‬ ‭caused‬ ‭due‬ ‭to‬‭the‬‭the‬‭difference‬‭in‬‭the‬‭angle‬‭of‬‭deviation‬
‭for‬ ‭different‬ ‭colours.‬ ‭In‬ ‭the‬ ‭case‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭glass‬ ‭slab,‬ ‭the‬ ‭opposite‬ ‭sides‬ ‭are‬
‭parallel‬ ‭and‬ ‭therefore‬ ‭different‬‭colors‬‭emerge‬‭parallel‬‭to‬‭each‬‭other‬‭and‬‭are‬
‭seen simultaneously. Therefore, dispersion doesn't occur in a glass slab.‬

‭The refractive indices of three media are given below:‬

‭Medium‬ ‭Refractive Index‬

‭A‬ ‭1.6‬

‭B‬ ‭1.8‬

‭C‬ ‭1.5‬

‭ ‬ ‭ray‬‭of‬‭light‬‭is‬‭travelling‬‭from‬‭A‬‭to‬‭B‬‭and‬‭another‬‭ray‬‭is‬‭travelling‬‭from‬‭B‬‭to‬
A
‭C.‬
‭(a) In which of the two cases the refracted ray bends towards the normal?‬
‭(b) In which case does the speed of light increase in the second medium?‬
‭Give reasons for your answer‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭a)‬ ‭When‬ ‭light‬ ‭travels‬ ‭from‬ ‭an‬ ‭optically‬ ‭rarer‬ ‭medium‬ ‭to‬ ‭an‬ ‭optically‬‭denser‬
‭medium‬‭it‬‭moves‬‭towards‬‭the‬‭normal.‬‭Since‬‭nB‬‭>‬‭nA‬‭hence‬‭the‬‭light‬‭ray‬‭will‬
‭bend towards the normal on passing from medium A to B.‬
 ‭ )‬ ‭The‬ ‭speed‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭light‬ ‭will‬ ‭increase‬ ‭when‬ ‭the‬ ‭light‬ ‭travels‬ ‭from‬ ‭B‬ ‭to‬ ‭C,‬
b
‭Since‬‭nC‬‭<‬‭nB‬‭and‬‭v=(c/n),‬‭the‬‭speed‬‭of‬‭light‬‭ray‬‭will‬‭increase‬‭in‬‭the‬‭second‬
‭medium.‬

‭ ‬ ‭convex‬ ‭lens‬ ‭forms‬ ‭a‬ ‭real‬ ‭and‬ ‭inverted‬‭image‬‭of‬‭a‬‭needle‬‭at‬‭a‬‭distance‬‭of‬
‭50‬ ‭cm‬ ‭from‬ ‭it.‬ ‭Where‬ ‭is‬ ‭the‬ ‭needle‬ ‭placed‬ ‭in‬ ‭front‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭convex‬ ‭lens‬ ‭if‬ ‭the‬
‭image is equal to the size of the object ? Also find the power of the lens.‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭The needle produces same size of the image when it is placed at 2F.‬
‭Hence, 2F = 50 cm, F = 25 cm = 0.25 m‬

‭ ight‬‭enters‬‭from‬‭air‬‭to‬‭glass‬‭having‬‭refractive‬‭index‬‭1.50.‬‭What‬‭is‬‭the‬‭speed‬
‭of light in the glass? The speed of light in vacuum is 3x10‬‭8‬ ‭ms‬‭-1‬‭.‬

‭SECTION - C‬

‭Answer the following briefly ( 6 x 3 )‬ ‭18‬

‭14‬ ‭(a)Name the kind of lens that can form;‬ ‭3‬

‭(i) an inverted magnified image (ii) an erect diminished image.‬
‭Draw ray diagrams to illustrate your answer in each case.‬
‭(b) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formed of an object placed at 2f‬
‭distances from a convex lens.‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭a)‬ ‭(i) A convex lens can form a magnified erect as well as magnified‬
‭inverted image of an object placed in from of it.‬
 (‭ ii) A concave lens can form an erect and diminished image of an‬
‭object.‬

‭b)‬

‭15‬ (‭ a)A ray of light enters into the glass from air. Does the ray bend towards‬ ‭3‬
‭normal ? Draw the ray diagram.‬
‭(b)What is the unit of refractive index ?‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭a)‬ ‭When a ray of light enters from air to glass, it bends towards the‬
‭normal.‬

‭b)‬ ‭Refractive index has no specific unit. Because the refractive index of a‬
‭medium represents the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum of light‬
 ‭ peed of the same light within the medium, and ratios do not have any‬
s
‭unit.‬

‭ convex lens of power 4 D is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a wall. At‬ ‭3‬
‭what distance from the lens should a candle be placed so that its image is‬
‭formed on the wall ?‬
‭Ans.:‬

‭17‬ (‭ a)Why is the refractive index of a medium always greater than one ?‬ ‭3‬
‭(b) A doctor has prescribed a corrective lens of power +1.5 D. Find the focal‬
‭length of the lens. Is the prescribed lens diverging or converging?‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭Here refractive index of medium is inversely proportional to speed of light in‬
‭the medium. As refractive index of vacuum is 1, speed of light is always‬
‭greater in vacuum as compared to transparent medium. Hence, refractive‬
‭index of transparent medium is always greater than one.‬

‭18‬ “‭ A ray of light incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium‬ ‭3‬
‭emerges parallel to itself.” Draw labelled ray diagram to justify the‬
‭statement”.‬

‭19‬ T
‭ he refractive indices of glass and water with respect to air are 3/2 and 4/3‬ ‭3‬
‭respectively. If speed of light in glass is 2 × 10‬‭8‬ ‭m/s, find the speed of light in‬
‭water‬
‭Ans.:‬

‭(or)‬

I‭n the figure below a light ray travels from air into the semi-circular plastic‬
‭block.‬

(‭ a)Give a reason why the ray does not‬

‭deviate at the semi-circular boundary‬ ‭of‬
‭the plastic block.‬
‭(b) Complete the ray diagram of the‬
‭above scenario when the light ray‬
‭comes out of the plastic block from the top flat end.‬
‭Ans.:‬
 ‭a)‬ ‭The ray of light is undergoing normal incidence at the air-plastic block‬
‭interface. And for normal incidence there is no deviation.‬

‭b)‬ ‭Refracted ray moves away from normal‬

‭SECTION - D‬

‭Answer the following in detail:‬ ‭10‬

‭20‬ (‭ a) Define the optical centre of a spherical lens.‬ ‭5‬

‭(b) You are given a convex lens of focal length 30 cm. Where would you‬
‭place an object to get a real, inverted and highly enlarged image of the‬
‭object ? Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation.‬
‭(c) A concave lens has a focal length of 20 cm. At what distance should an‬
‭object be placed so that it forms an image at 15 cm away from the lens ?‬
‭Ans.:‬

‭(or)‬
 ‭ he above image shows a thin lens of focal length 5m.‬
T
‭(i) What is the kind of lens shown in the above figure?‬
‭(ii) If a real inverted image is to be formed by this lens at a distance of 7m‬
‭from the optical centre, then show with calculation where should the object‬
‭be placed?‬
‭(iii) Draw a neatly labelled diagram of the image formation mentioned in‬
‭question(ii)‬
‭Ans.:‬

‭21‬ (‭ a)State the laws of refraction.‬ ‭5‬

‭(b)The‬ ‭image‬ ‭of‬ ‭an‬ ‭object‬ ‭formed‬ ‭by‬ ‭a‬ ‭lens‬ ‭is‬ ‭of‬ ‭magnification‬ ‭-1.‬ ‭If‬ ‭the‬
‭distance between the object and its image is 60 cm,‬
‭a)what is the focal length of the lens?‬
‭b)If‬ ‭the‬‭object‬‭is‬‭moved‬‭20‬‭cm‬‭towards‬‭the‬‭lens,‬‭where‬‭would‬‭the‬‭image‬‭be‬
‭formed? State reason and also draw a ray diagram in support of your answer‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭a)‬ ‭The following are the laws of refraction of light.‬
‭(i)‬‭The‬‭incident‬‭ray,‬‭the‬‭refracted‬‭ray‬‭and‬‭the‬‭normal‬‭to‬‭the‬‭interface‬‭of‬
‭two‬ ‭transparent‬ ‭media‬ ‭at‬ ‭the‬ ‭point‬ ‭of‬ ‭incidence,‬ ‭all‬ ‭lie‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭same‬
 ‭ lane.‬
p
‭(ii) The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of‬
‭refraction‬‭is‬‭a‬‭constant,‬‭for‬‭the‬‭light‬‭of‬‭a‬‭given‬‭colour‬‭and‬‭for‬‭the‬‭given‬
‭pair of media. This law is also known as Snell’s law of refraction.‬
‭If i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction, then,‬
‭Sin i / sin r = constant‬
‭b)‬ ‭Image‬‭with‬‭magnification‬‭-1‬‭means‬‭image‬‭is‬‭inverted‬‭and‬‭of‬‭the‬‭same‬
‭size.‬‭Therefore,‬‭object‬‭is‬‭at‬‭2F‬‭and‬‭the‬‭image‬‭is‬‭also‬‭at‬‭2F‬‭on‬‭the‬‭other‬
‭side of the lens.‬
‭Therefore, distance between the object and its image is 4f=60cm‬
‭=> f=15 cm‬
‭Object distance 2f= 30 cm,‬
‭if‬ ‭the‬ ‭object‬ ‭is‬ ‭shifted‬ ‭towards‬ ‭the‬ ‭lens‬ ‭by‬ ‭20‬ ‭cm,‬ ‭the‬ ‭new‬ ‭obiect‬
‭distance =30 cm - 20 cm=10 cm.‬

‭ his‬ ‭distance‬ ‭is‬ ‭less‬ ‭than‬ ‭the‬ ‭focal‬ ‭length,‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭image‬ ‭formed‬ ‭in‬
T
‭this‬‭case‬‭would‬‭be‬‭virtual,‬‭erect‬‭and‬‭will‬‭form‬‭on‬‭the‬‭same‬‭side‬‭as‬‭the‬
‭object.‬
