MCQ Answers

1. (d)

Since, for device X the light rays coming from an object at infinity passes through device X and forms a real image on a screen on the right side. Since, a convex lens forms a real and inverted image at focus when the object is at infinity, device X is a converging lens or convex lens of focal length 20 cm.

For device Y, the beam of parallel rays from infinity is incidence on the left side and after reflection a real image is formed on the screen. This device should be a mirror. Also, the light rays are getting converged, so mirror is converging in nature it is a concave mirror of focal length 25 cm.

2.

As in order to get a sharp image the screen should be near to lens.

3. (a)

Since, the candle is at the farthest end but not at the infinity. So, an image will be formed between the focus and the centre of curvature of the lens, but parallel rays from the sun will converge at the focus. So, the distance between lens and screen should be reduced to get the image of the sun.

4. (b)

In case of a concave mirror, image size becomes equal to the object size when the object distance equals the radius of curvature i.e., twice the focal length.

So, the object has to be placed at a distance of (15 x 2) = 30 in front of a concave mirror.

5. (b)

A rear view mirror is a concave mirror. It has a wider field of coverage and gives a virtual, erect and diminished image of the object.

6. (a)

Bending of a ray of light on passing from one media to another is called reflection,

7. (b)

Black colour is a good absorber.

8. (b)

As the difference in refractive indices is maximum.

9. (c)

10. (c)

A concave mirror gives the dentist a magnified reflection of the mouth while also refracting a bit of light. It forms an image in the mirror as larger, brighten and for the dentist easier to see.

11. (a)

This type of reflection is known as regular or specular reflection.

12. (b)  

As angle of incidence is equal to angle of emergence when light ray is passed through the prism, and angle of refraction is smaller than two.

13. (a)

A concave mirror always forms the image of a distant object at its focus.

14. (c)

15. (b)

The image formed by concave mirror is real and inverted.

16. (c)

As the image is focused on screen, the image will be teal, inverted and diminished but the colour of the image will remain the same.

17. (a)

As the light tay when travelled fmm medium A to medium B, then they bend towards the normal which means that medium B has higher refractive index and less speed of light with respect to medium A, So, refractive index of medium B w.r.t. medium A will be greater than unity.

18. (c)

The optical device is a concave mirror because when light rays from a distant object (like sun) fall on this mirror, its image is formed at the focus of the mirror on same side as the object. Thus, the distance between the mirror and the screen is the focal length of the concave mirror. Hence, the focal length of a given device is 24 cm.  

19. (b) 

To achieve the best experimental set-up for tracing the path of a ray of light through a glass slab, the point of incidence should be in the middle of the glass slab and the incident angle should be close to 450.

20. (a)  

As the image is focused on the screen, then the image formed is real. And real images are inverted.

21. (d)

In the case of the concave mirror, the image will be formed on the same side of the screen at its focus point when the object is distant.

22. (c)

Focal length of convex lens f = 15 cm

It is placed at the 42.7 cm mark on the optical bench. When we want distant objects to be focused, we get an image at the focus of a convex lens.

Because rays from distant objects are parallel rays and they converge at focus.

Position of screen = 42.7 + 15 = 57.7 cm

23. (c)

Here I is angle of incidence, 3 is angle of emergence, 2 is the angle Of refraction and 4 is the lateral displacement.

24. (d)

Students will observe that the emergent ray gets deviated and beng towards the thick parts (i.e., base) of the prism.

25. (a)

A place mirror is a flat, reflecting surface 11m/s in the case of a plane mirror, when the parallel rays of light strike the mirror they get reflected back parallel to each other. So, they never meet, so we can say that they meet at infinity. So, the focal length of the plane mirror is infinity.

Assertion-Reason Based MCQ Answers

36. (a)

When the object is placed at an infinity position,  the image formed by a concave mirror will be placed at the focus. Then the size of the image will be highly diminished and point-size. So, the nature of the image formed by the concave mirror is real and inverted. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

37. (c)

Convex mirrors are used for rear view on vehicles. We use only convex mirrors for rear view. Convex mirrors will always give erect and diminished image of the object. They provide a wider field for clear view. For this reason, the convex mirrors are fitted on both sides of the vehicles. Thus, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

38. (a)

When the light travels from one medium to another, speed changes so that it bends from its path. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

39. (d)

We know that the path of light passing through a colloidal solution becomes visible because light is scattered by relatively larger particles. But the path of light passing through a clear solution is not visible because small particle sizes do not come its way. Thus, the assertion is false, but reason is true.

40. (d)

When a ray of light travels from air to water, its speed slows down because known that the velocity is slower in a denser medium (water) to rarer medium (air), agqerfion false, but reason is true,

41. (a)

A ray of light that travels obliquely from one transparent medium to another will change its direction in the second medium, It is nothing but the process called refraction. They occur due to change in the speed of light as it enters from one transparent medium to another. Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

42. (b)

We know that the refractive index of kerosene is 1.44 and the refractive index of water is 1.33. It shows that kerosene is optically denser than water. But the mass density of kerosene is lesser than water. So, there is no relation between mass density and optical density. 

Therefore, It clearly defines that an optically denser medium may not possess greater mass density. Thus, the given assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

43. (c)

Owls can move freely during the night, because they have a large number of cones and rods on their retina which help them to see at night. Thus, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

44. (c)

Shining of air bubbles in water is on account of total internal reflection. Thus, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

45. (a)

Concave mirror converge the light rays falling on it to a point. So large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar  cookers. Thus, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(v) (a) Convex mirror conforms to images of objects spread over a large area.

6. In both concave and convex mirrors for the ray passing through the centre of curvature the reflection is along the same path. The reflection of light rays is along the same path since the rays incident on the mirror is normal to the reflecting surface.

7. The refractive index Y is the extent of change in direction in the second medium of a given media pair. The propagation of light travels with different speeds in different media. The speed of light in air is comparatively less when compared to vacuum.

8. Two positions of objects considered in the formation of image by a convex mirror.

Position 1 : The position of the object at infinity is at the focus F behind the mirror, the image size is highly diminished and point sized. The nature of the image is virtual and erect.

Position 2 : The position of the object between infinity and pole P displays the image position between P and F behind the mirror. Size of the image is diminished. Nature of the image is virtual and erect.

9. The spherical mirror magnifies an object’s image to a relative extent with respect to object size. It is the ratio of height of image to the height of object. The positive sign in magnification value denotes the virtual image. The negative sign in magnification value denotes real image.

10. In both concave and convex mirrors for the ray passing through the centre of curvature the reflection is along the same path. The reflection of light rays is along the same path since the rays incident on the mirror is normal to the reflecting surface.
