Amity International School Sec-1, Vasundhara Class-X Holiday Homework (Assignment-2) Chapter 10: Light: Reflection and Refraction

1. The document provides questions and concepts related to reflection and refraction of light, including properties of lenses and mirrors, focal length, refractive index, real and virtual images. 2. Questions assess understanding of how lenses converge and diverge light, the power of lenses, combination of lenses, refraction of light through water and other media, and characteristics of images formed by concave mirrors. 3. Multiple choice and assertion-reason questions test comprehension of phenomena like refraction, properties of real images, factors affecting the speed of light through different media, and how light bends at the interface between media of different densities.

CHAPTER 10: LIGHT: REFLECTION AND REFRACTION

Case study based Questions


1. A teacher explained some properties of lenses to his students. The spherical mirror forms
different types of images when the object is placed at different locations. When the image is
formed on screen, the image is real and when the image does not form on screen, the image is
virtual. When the two reflected rays actually meet, the image is real and when they appear to
meet, the image is virtual.
At the end of the class, he demonstrated an activity by disappearing a glass lens into a liquid.
(a) No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. What could be
the type of mirror?
(b) Why does a convex mirror have wider field of view?
(c) What factors related to lens will change if (i) the lens is dipped in water and (ii) the
lower half portion of the lens is covered with black paper placed in air?
(d) What is the phenomenon involved behind disappearing of the lens into the liquids?
What are its real-life applications?

2. A lens is a transparent material which converges/diverges the beam of light unlike


prism. The ability of this converging or diverging ability of lenses is known as Power.
Power (P) of a lens is given as the reciprocal of focal length (P=1/f), where f should be in
meter and P is in Dioptre. For convex lens, power is positive and concave lens,power is –ve.
When two or more lenses are kept in contact then power of the combined lens is given as P=
P1 + P2+P3 …….
If the two lenses of focal length f1 and f2 are placed at a distance d, the focal length of
combination of lens is F than 1/F = 1/f1 + 1/f2 – d/f1f2.
(a) A convex and a concave lens is separated by distance d are then put in contact then
the focal length of the combination
(i) becomes 0 (ii) remain the same (iii) decreases (iv)increases.

(b)The two lenses of power +1.5D and +1.0D are placed in contact then the effective
power of the combination will be
(i)2.5D (ii)1.5 D (iii) 0.5D (iv)3.25D .

(c) A convex lens of focal length 25cm is placed coaxially in contact with a concave lens
of focal length 20cm the. What is the nature of the combination?

3. The great blue heron finally catches a meal after seeking the waters. To be a successful
hunter, the heron must use the refraction principle to determine where to strike by recognizing
that the fish are located at a spot that is different from what its eyes tell it
.

The apparent depth of the fish in the water is:


a) Less than the actual depth because light travels from a rarer to denser medium.

b) Less than the actual depth because light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium.

c) More than the actual path because of the total internal reflection of light.
d)More than the actual path because light travels from a denser medium.
4.A student was thinking about what would happen if the medium is changed from water
( Refractive index of water = 1.33) to a new medium having a refractive index of 1.5. What
change could be observed by the student?
5.The arrow represents an object located in the region between centre of curvature and
focal point of a concave mirror. Identify the characteristics of image being produced-
Location, orientation, size and type.

2. When light enters from air to glass , the angles of incidence in air and glass are 45
degree and 30 degree. Find refractive index of glass.

b. 2√2
c. 1/ √2
d. 1
3. What do we call the change in path of light when it travels from one medium to
another

c) No unit
d) Micro meter

6. Which of the following statements is/are true of a real image?


(i) Real images are always located behind the mirror.
(ii) Real images can be either upright or inverted.
(iii) Real images can be magnified in size, reduced in size or the same size as the object.
(iv) Real images can be formed by concave, convex and plane mirrors.
(v) Real images are not virtual; thus you could never see them when sighting in a mirror.
(vi) Real images can be projected onto a sheet of paper.
a. (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) b. (iii) and (vi) only.
c. (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) d. (i) and (v) only.

ASSERTION AND REASON


1. ASSERTION(A):Property of converging of a convergent lens does not remain same in all media.

REASON(R) : Property of lens whether the ray is diverging or converging is independent


of the surrounding medium
2. ASSERTION(A) : A ray of light travelling from a rarer medium to a denser medium slows
down and bends away from the normal. When it travels from a denser medium to a rarer
medium, it speeds up and bends towards the normal.
REASON (R) : The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium than a
denser medium.
