Case Study

Some plants like the pea plant climb up other plants or fences by means of tendrils.
These tendrils are sensitive to touch. When they come in contact with any support, the
part of the tendril in contact with the object does not grow as rapidly as the part of the
tendril away from the object. This causes the tendril to circle around the object and
thus cling to it. More commonly, plants respond to stimuli slowly by growing in a
particular direction. Because this growth is directional, it appears as if the plant is
moving.

i) How many types of tropism are shown by plants? Name them.

ii) The touch me not plant is an example of which tropism?

(a) Scattering of light is not enough at such heights. (b)
There is no atmosphere at great heights.
(c) The size of molecules is smaller than the wavelength of visible light.
(d) The light gets scattered towards the earth.
ii) Which ray is least deviated by a prism?
a) Violet ray b) Green ray c)Red ray \d)Yellow ray
(iii) The dispersive power of prism depends upon
a) The shape of the prism b) The material of the prism
c) The angle of the prism d) Height of the prism
iv) While driving in winter, through dense fog, one can see some rays from headlights
emitted by vehicle reaching towards us is due to….
a) scattering of light b) atmospheric refraction
c) reflection of light d) dispersion of light
v) Which of the following phenomena of light are involved in the formation of a
rainbow?
(a) Reflection, refraction and dispersion
(b) Refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection
(c) Refraction, dispersion and internal reflection
(d) Dispersion, scattering and total internal reflection
2) Assertion Reason
(i) Assertion (A). The sky appears dark to people flying at high altitudes.
Reason(R). The atmosphere is denser close to the earth on high altitude
(ii) Assertion (A): A hypermetropic person prefers to remove his spectacles, while
driving.
Reason (R): When a hypermetropic person wearing the spectacles looks at a distant
object, the parallel rays from the distant object get converged in front of the
retina. The image thus appears blurred

3. (a) With the help of labelled ray diagram show the path followed by a narrow beam
of monochromatic light when it passes through a glass prism.
(b) What would happen if this beam is replaced by a narrow beam of white light ?
4. (a) A person is suffering from both myopia and hypermetropia (i) What
kind of lenses can correct this defect? (ii) How are these lenses prepared?
 (b) A person needs a lens of power + 3D for correcting his near vision and –3D for
correcting his distant vision. Calculate the focal lengths of the lenses required to correct
these defects.
5. (a) A security mirror used in a big showroom has radius of curvature 5 m. If a customer is
standing at a distance of 20 m from the cash counter, find the position, nature and size of
the image formed in the security mirror.
(b) Neha visited a dentist in his clinic. She observed that the dentist was holding an
instrument fitted with a mirror. State the nature of this mirror and reason for its use in the
instrument used by dentist.
6. Rishi went to a palmist to show his palm. The palmist used a special lens for this purpose.
(i) State the nature of the lens and reason for its use.
(ii) Where should the palmist place/hold the lens so as to have a real and magnified image
of an object ?
(iii) If the focal length of this lens is 10 cm and the lens is held at a distance of 5 cm from
the palm, use lens formula to find the position and size of the image.
7. A person suffering from myopia (near-sightedness) was advised to wear corrective lens of
power − 2·5 D. A spherical lens of same focal length was taken in the laboratory. At what
distance should a student place an object from this lens so that it forms an image at a
distance of 10 cm from the lens ? (b) Draw a ray diagram to show the position and nature
of the image.
