A. < 20 cm

B. > 20 cm

C. < 20 cm and between 20 cm and 40 cm

A. Water            B. Glass              C. Plastic           D. Clay

 

  1. The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object?

A. between the focus and centre of curvature,

B. at the centre of curvature,

C. beyond the centre of curvature,

D. Between the pole of the mirror and focus.

 

  1. Where should an object be placed in front of a convex lens to get a real image of the size of the object ? 

A. At the principal focus of the lens,

B. At twice the focal length,

C. At infinity,

D. Between the optical centre of the lens and its principal focus.

 

  1. A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of –15 cm. The mirror and lens are likely to be

A. Both are concave.

B. Both are convex

C. The mirror is concave, but the lens is convex.

D. The mirror is convex, but the lens is concave.

Answer Key:

  1. A
  2. C
  3. A
  4. A
  5. C
  6. C
  7. B
  8. C
  9. D

Clay cannot be used to make a lens as it is not transparent.

  1. D

For virtual, erect and larger image, the object must lie between the pole of the mirror and its focus.

  1. B

The object is to be placed at twice the focal length of the lens.

  1. A

As per New Cartesian Sign Conventions, the focal length of a concave mirror and focal length of a concave lens, both are negative. Therefore, both are concave.

  1. D

The image is erect in a plane mirror and also in a convex mirror, for all positions of the object.

  1. C

For reading small letters in a dictionary, we should use a convex lens of smaller focal length.
