Section - A
I. Multiple choice questions. (MCQs) [4 x ½ = 2M]
1. Which part of the eye helps in changing the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances?
(a) Iris (b) Pupil (c) Ciliary muscles (d) Cornea [ ]
2. What happen to a light if it strikes a mirror at an angle of 45 degrees? [ ]
(a) It is absorbed by the mirror. (b) It passes through the mirror.
(c) It is reflected at a 90° angle (d) It is refracted.
3. Find the angle of incidence from the below diagram. [ ]

(a) 44 (b) 55 (c) 50 (d) 60

4. Observe the figures given below and identify the lens used. [ ]

(a) plane, concave (b) convex, concave (c) convex, convex (d) concave, convex
Section-B
II. Two statements are given below - one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).
Read the statements carefully and choose the option that correctly describes statements A and R.
Which of the following is correct? [2 x ½ = 1M]
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
5. Assertion (A): Light travels faster than sound. [ ]
Reason (R): This is because light waves do not require a medium to propagate, while sound waves
require a medium, such as air or water.
6. Assertion (A): A convex lens can converge or focus light rays. [ ]
Reason (R): Convex lenses are thicker in the center and thinner at the edges. This shape causes
them to bend light inward, bringing parallel rays of light to a focus point.

III. Answer the following Short Answer Type Questions. [2 x 3 = 6M]
7. The eye of a person exhibits a phenomenon X due to which it can see the image of an object for a
short duration of Y even after the object has disappeared from his view. It is due to the phenomenon
X that we are able to see moving Z on a television screen.

(a) State the phenomenon X exhibited by the eye of the person. 1M

(b) What is the value of short duration of ‘Y’? 1M
(c) How is it possible to see moving Z on a television screen? 1M

8. Karthik is playing with a mirror. He found that image is inverted, diminished, and also enlarged.

(a) What type of mirror he was playing? 1M

(b) Why image is inverted, diminished, where he kept the object? 1M
(c) When can he get enlarged and erect image? 1M

Section-D

IV. The following questions are Source-based/case-based questions.

Read the case carefully and answer the questions that follow. [2 x 3 = 6M]
9. Ramu focused the torch on a plane mirror. The light reflected back into the same medium. He
draw’s the diagram as follows.

(a) Find the angle of incidence and angle of reflection. 1M

(b) What is X represent from diagram and find its value? 1M
(c) Find the angle of deviation? 1M

10. The spherical lens 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.

(a) Identify the lens in which the image is diminished and upright. 1M
(b) Is there a possibility to get same size but inverted image? Justify. 1M
(c) Write any two uses of the lenses specified above. 1M
