10th CBSE REFRACTION THROUGH LENSES

(Ray Diagrams and numerical)

Q1 Mark the correct option: (5m)

1. which one of following can be used to formed virtual & magnified image of an
object

a) convex lens b) concave lens c) Compound lens d) Both (a) & (b)

2. An object is placed at distance of 20cm in front of concave lens of focal length

20cm. find position of image

a) -20cm b) 20 cm c) -10cm d)10cm

3. The distance of object in front of lens is always

a) positive b) virtual c) zero. d) negative

4. When magnification is positive then image is

a) Virtual b) real c) inverted d) Both (b) & (c)

5. A convex lens has focal length of 50 cm. find its power is

a) 2D b) 4D c) 5D d) 9D

Q2 If the image formed by a lens for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always
virtual, erect and diminished, state the type of the lens. Draw a ray diagram in support of your
answer. If the numerical value of focal length of such a lens is 20 cm, find its power. (3m)

Q3 The image of a candle flame placed at a distance of 40 cm from a spherical lens is formed
on a screen placed on the other side of the lens at a distance of 40 cm from the lens. Identify
the type of lens and write its focal length. What will be the nature of the image formed if the
candle flame is shifted 25 cm towards the lens? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer.

Q4 Draw ray diagram to show the path of the refracted ray in each of the following cases. A
ray of light incident on a concave lens
(i) is parallel to its principal axis, (ii) is passing through its optical centre and (iii) is directed
towards its principal focus. (3m)

Q5 What is meant by power of a lens? Write its SI unit. A student uses a lens of focal length
40 cm and another of -20 cm. Write the nature and power of each lens. (3m)

Q6 A 4 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of convex lens of focal
length 24 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 16 cm. Find the position, size and
nature of the image formed, using the lens formula. (3m)
