1. Focal length of a convex lens is 15 cm. For which distance an object is placed so that the lens acts as a magnifying glass ?

Exactly at 30 cm

Greater than 30 cm

Less than 15 cm

Between 15 cm and 30 cm

Answer: Less than 15 cm

Explanation:


2. A Full-Length Image of a distant tall building can definitely be seen by using ?

A convex mirror

A concave mirror

Both concave as well as plane mirror

A plane mirror

Answer: A convex mirror

Explanation:

The convex mirror forms virtual, erect and diminished image of the objects. So, it can form full length image of a distant tall building.


3. When the object is placed between f and 2f of a convex lens, the image formed is ?

between O and f

beyond 2f

at 2f

at f

Answer: beyond 2f

Explanation:


4. When light falls on a smooth polished surface, most of it ?

is refracted into the second medium

is reflected in the same direction

is scattered

is reflected in different directions

Answer: is reflected in the same direction

Explanation:


5. A full length image of a distant tall building can definitely be seen by using ?

a convex mirror

a plane mirror

both concave as well as plane mirror

a concave mirror

Answer: a convex mirror

Explanation:

Convex mirror has a wide field of view as it forms virtual, erect and diminished image. Hence, fall length of image of distance tall building can definitely be seen by using it.


6. A light ray enters from medium A to medium B as shown in figure. The refractive index of medium B relative to A will be ?

zero

equal to unity

less than unity

greater than unity

Answer: less than unity

Explanation:

In medium B, light ray bends away from the normal. It indicates that medium B is optically rarer than medium A. Hence speed of light in medium B is more than that in medium A. Now, refractive index


7. A concave mirror of focal length 20 cm forms an image having twice the size of object. For the virtual position of object, the position of object will be at ?

At infinity

10 cm

40 cm

25 cm

Answer: 10 cm

Explanation:

For virtual image,


8. In torches, search lights and headlights of vehicles the bulb is placed ?

at the centre of curvature of the reflector

between the focus and centre of curvature of the reflector

between the pole and the focus of the reflector

very near to the focus of the reflector

Answer: very near to the focus of the reflector

Explanation:

When source of light is placed verg near to the focus of the reflector which are concave in shape, the reflected light becomes parallel to the principal axis.


9. A Concave mirror produces magnification of +4. the object is placed ?

Between focus and pole

Beyond the centre of curvature

At the focus

Between focus and centre of curvature

Answer: Between focus and pole

Explanation:

A concave mirror produces a magnification of +4 when the object is placed between the focus and the pole.


10. A stick in water appears broken due to ?

total internal reflection

reflection of light

both total internal reflection and reflection of light

refraction of light

Answer: refraction of light

Explanation:
