Chapter: Reflection and Refraction

1 Write down four important characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror.
2 Define focal length.
3 What are the advantages and disadvantages of using convex mirror for seeing traffic
at the rear?
4 What is the unit of power of a lens?
5 Does the magnification equation change depending on whether lens is a concave lens
or a convex lens?
6 Is it possible for a lens to act as a convergent lens in one medium and a divergent lens
in another? If yes then give reason.
7 When does Snell’s law fail?
8 What is minimum number of rays required for locating the image formed by a
concave mirror for an object? Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a virtual
image by a concave mirror.
9 A 4.5 cm needle is placed 12cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. give
the location of image and magnification. Describe what happens to the image as the
needle is moved farther from the mirror?
10 A student wants to project the image of a candle flame on a screen 60 cm in front of
a mirror by keeping the flame at a distance of 15 cm from its place.
(a) write the type of mirror he should use.
(b) find the linear magnification of the image produced.
(c) what is the distance between the object and its image?
(d) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
11 (a) Two lenses have power of (1) =2D (2) -4D. what is the nature and focal length of
each lens?
(b) An object is kept at a distance of 100 cm for a lens of power -4D. Calculate image
distance.
12 How will you decide whether a given piece of glass is a convex lens, concave lens or
a plane glass plate?
