1. In the human eye, name the following parts: 02
a) A thin membrane which allow light to enter into the eye.
b) The muscle which help in changing the focal length of the eye lens.
2. Name two possible causes of myopia. 02
3. Name the defect of vision in person: 02
a) Whose near point is more than 25 cm away’? b) Whose far point is less than infinity.
4. Why does the Sun appear reddish earl y in the morning? 02
5. How will you use two identical prisms so that a narrow beam of white light incident on one
prism emerges out of the second prism as white light? 02
6. What is presbyopia? State the causes of this defect? How is presbyopia of a person corrected? 03
7. A person needs a lens of power -5.5 dioptre for correcting his distinct vision. For correcting his near
vision he needs a lens +1.5 dioptre. What is the focal length of the lens required for correcting (i)
distinct vision, and (ii) near vision? 03
8. Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v). 05
The spreading of light by the air molecules is called scattering of light. The light having least
wavelength scatters more. The sun appears red at sunrise and sunset, appearance of blue sky it is
due to the scattering of light. The colour of the scattered light depends on the size of particles. The
smaller the molecules in the atmosphere scatter smaller wavelengths of light. The amount of scattering
of light depends on the wavelength of light. When light from sun enters the earth’s atmosphere, it gets
scattered by the dust particles and air molecules present in the atmosphere. The path of sunlight
entering in the dark room through a fine hole is seen because of scattering of the sun light by the dust
particles present in its path inside the room.
i) To an astronaut in a spaceship, the colour of earth appears
a) red b) blue c) white d) black
ii) At the time of sunrise and sunset, the light from sun has to travel.
a) longest distance of atmosphere b) shortest distance of atmosphere
c) both (a) and (b) d) can’t say
iii) The colour of sky appears blue, it is due to the
a) refraction of light through the atmosphere b) dispersion of light by air molecules
c) scattering of light by air molecules d) all of these.
iv) At the time of sunrise and sunset
a) Blue colour scattered and red colour reaches our eye
b) Red colour scattered and blue colour reaches our eye
c) Green and blue scattered and orange reaches our eye d) None of these
v) The danger signs made red in colour, because
a) the red light can be seen from farthest distance c) both (a) and (b)
b) the scattering of red light is least d) none of these

9. A convex lens of focal length 20 cm can produce a magnified virtual as well as real image. Is this a
correct statement? If yes, where shall the object be placed in each case for obtaining these images?02
10. i) Define Refractive Index. 02
ii) Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and the absolute refractive index of glass is
1.5. Find out the absolute refractive index of diamonds.
11. Incident ray AB falls on a lens.
The refracted ray is BC as shown in figure.
Name the lens. What is the sign convention
for the focal length is this lens? 02
12. Draw the ray diagram to show reflected ray by a concave mirror and convex mirror when the
incident ray passes through its centre of curvature. 02
13. Define power of lens. State its SI unit. 02
14. i) An object is placed at the following distances from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm.
a) 10 cm b) 20 cm c) 30 cm 03
ii) Which position of the object will produce
a) Virtual image b) A diminished real image c) An enlarged real image
15. Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v). 05
The lenses forms different types of images when object placed at different locations. When a ray is
incident parallel to the principal axis, then after refraction, it passes through the focus or appears to
come from the focus.
When a ray goes through the optical centre of the lens, it passes without any deviation. If the object is
placed between focus and optical center of the convex lens, erect and magnified image is formed.
As the object is brought closer to the convex lens from infinity to focus, the image moves away from
the convex lens from focus to infinity. Also the size of image goes on increasing and the image is
always real and inverted.
A concave lens always gives a virtual, erect and diminished image irrespective to the position of the object.
i) The location of image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at infinity is
a) at focus b) at 2F c) at optical center d) between Fand 2F
ii) When the object is placed at the focus of concave lens, the image formed is
a) real and smaller b) virtual and inverted c) virtual and smaller d) real and erect
iii) The size of image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at the focus of convex lens is
a) small b) point in size c) highly magnified d) same as that of object
iv) When the object is placed at 2F in front of convex lens, the location of image is
a) at F b) at 2 F on the other side c) at infinity d) between F and optical center
v) At which location of object in front of concave lens, the image between focus and optical centre is
formed
a) anywhere between centre and infinity b) at F c) at 2F d) infinity
