• Write the answer of the following questions. [Each carries 2 Marks] [2]
1. A small pin fixed on a table top is viewed from above from a distance of 50 cm. By what distance
would the pin appear to be raised if it is viewed from the same point through a 15 cm thick glass
slab held parallel to the table ? Refractive index of glass = 1.5. Does the answer depend on the

2. (a) Figure shows a cross-section of a ‘light pipe’ made of a glass fibre of refractive index 1.68. The
outer covering of the pipe is made of a material of refractive index 1.44. What is the range of the
angles of the incident rays with the axis of the pipe for which total reflections inside the pipe
take place, as shown in the figure.

(b) What is the answer if there is no outer covering of the pipe ?
3. The image of a small electric bulb fixed on the wall of a room is to be obtained on the opposite wall
3 m away by means of a large convex lens. What is the maximum possible focal length of the lens
required for the purpose ?
4. A screen is placed 90 cm from an object. The image of the object on the screen is formed by a convex
lens at two different locations separated by 20 cm. Determine the focal length of the lens.
5. At what angle should a ray of light be incident on the face of a prism of refracting angle 60° so that
it just suffers total internal reflection at the other face ? The refractive index of the material of the
prism is 1.524.
6. A card sheet divided into squares each of size 1 mm2 is being viewed at a distance of 9 cm through
a magnifying glass (a converging lens of focal length 10 cm) held close to the eye.
(a) What is the magnification produced by the lens ? How much is the area of each square in the
virtual image ?
(b) What is the angular magnification (magnifying power) of the lens ?
(c) Is the magnification in (a) equal to the magnifying power in (b) ? Explain.
7. (a) At what distance should the lens be held from the card sheet in Exe. Q. 22 in order to view the
squares distinctly with the maximum possible magnifying power ?
(b) What is the magnification in this case ?
(c) Is the magnification equal to the magnifying power in this case ? Explain.
8. What should be the distance between the object in Exe. Q. 23 and the magnifying glass if the virtual
image of each square in the figure is to have an area of 6.25 mm2. Would you be able to see the
squares distinctly with your eyes very close to the magnifier ?
[Note: Exercises 22 to 24 will help you clearly understand the difference between magnification in
absolute size and the angular magnification (or magnifying power) of an instrument.]
9. An angular magnification (magnifying power) of 30X is desired using an objective of focal length
1.25 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. How will you set up the compound microscope ?
10. A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 140 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5.0 cm.
What is the magnifying power of the telescope for viewing distant objects when
(a) the telescope is in normal adjustment (i.e., when the final image is at infinity) ?
(b) the final image is formed at the least distance of distinct vision (25 cm) ?
11. (a) For the telescope described in Exe. Q 27 (a), what is the separation between the objective lens
and the eyepiece ?
(b) If this telescope is used to view a 100 m tall tower 3 km away, what is the height of the image
of the tower formed by the objective lens ?
(c) What is the height of the final image of the tower if it is formed at 25 cm ?
12. A Cassegrain telescope uses two mirrors as shown in figure. Such a telescope is built with the mirrors
20 mm apart. If the radius of curvature of the large mirror is 220 mm and the small mirror is 140 mm,
where will the final image of an object at infinity be ?
13. Light incident normally on a plane mirror attached to a galvanometer coil retraces backwards as
shown in figure. A current in the coil produces a deflection of 3.5° of the mirror. What is the
displacement of the reflected spot of light on a screen placed 1.5 m away ?
1.5 m

• Write the answer of the following questions. [Each carries 4 Marks] [16]
14. Use the mirror equation to deduce that:
(a) an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f.
(b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object.
(c) the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located
between the focus and the pole.
(d) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged
image.
[Note : This exercise helps you deduce algebraically properties of images that one obtains from
explicit ray diagrams.]
15. (a) Determine the ‘effective focal length’ of the combination of the two lenses in Exercise 9.10, if they
are placed 8.0 cm apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which
side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident ? Is the notion of effective focal length
of this system useful at all ?
(b) An object 1.5 cm in size is placed on the side of the convex lens in the arrangement (a) above.
The distance between the object and the convex lens is 40 cm. Determine the magnification
produced by the two-lens system, and the size of the image.
16. Answer the following questions :
(a) The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the
virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass
provide angular magnification ?
(b) In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one’s eyes very close to the lens.
Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back ?
(c) Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the
provide angular magnification ?
(b) In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one’s eyes very close to the lens.
Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back ?
(c) Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the
lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and smaller focal length and
achieving greater and greater magnifying power ?
(d) Why must both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal
lengths ?
(e) When viewing through a compound microscope, our eyes should be positioned not on the
eyepiece but a short distance away from it for best viewing. Why ? How much should be that
short distance between the eye and eyepiece ?
17. Figure shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index 1.50) in contact with a liquid layer on top of
a plane mirror. A small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its
inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is
measured to be 45.0 cm. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated. The new distance
is measured to be 30.0 cm. What is the refractive index of the liquid ?
