Class 10 Physics - Light (Reflection & Refraction)

Application-Based Questions
1. A person is 1.5 m tall. He stands in front of a plane mirror. (a) What is the minimum length of the
mirror required so that he can see his full image? (b) Does the distance of the person from the
mirror affect your answer? Justify.

2. The refractive index of glass with respect to air is 3/2. A ray of light enters from air into glass. (a)
State Snell’s law of refraction. (b) If the angle of incidence is 30°, calculate the angle of refraction.
(Use sin 30° = 0.5).

3. A 5 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 20
cm. The object is at a distance of 30 cm from the lens. (a) Find the position, nature, and size of the
image formed. (b) Draw the ray diagram.

4. A concave mirror produces a real image three times larger than the object when the object is
placed 18 cm in front of it. Calculate the focal length of the mirror.

5. The near point of a normal eye is 25 cm. A boy with defective vision can see objects clearly only
when they are between 50 cm and 200 cm. (a) What kind of defect of vision does he suffer from?
(b) What kind of lens is required to correct this defect? (c) Find the power of the lens required.

6. Light enters from air to water, having refractive index 4/3. If the speed of light in air is 3 × 10^8
m/s, calculate the speed of light in water.

7. A ray of light incident at an angle of 40° on a glass slab emerges parallel to the incident ray. (a)
Draw a neat ray diagram. (b) Write the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of
emergence.

8. The magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +2. (a) Identify the type of mirror. (b) Write
the position of the object. (c) Draw the ray diagram to show the formation of the image.

9. The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement? Calculate the
speed of light in diamond.

10. An object 2 cm high is placed 30 cm away from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. Find the
nature, position, and size of the image.
