Grade: 10 CBSE PHYSICS Date: 5.07.2022

1. Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding
to the ray which is incident obliquely to the principal axis, towards the pole of a
convex mirror. Mark the angle of incidence and angle of reflection on it.
2. A concave mirror has a focal length of 20 cm. At what distance from the mirror
should a 4 cm tall object be placed so that it forms an image at a distance of 30 cm
from the mirror? Also calculate the size of the image formed.
OR
A real image 2/3rd of the size of an object is formed by a convex lens when the
object is at a distance of 12 cm from it. Find the focal length of the lens.
3. (a) A 5 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex
lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 30 cm. Find
the position, nature and size of the image formed. (b) Draw a labelled ray diagram
showing object distance, image distance and focal length in the above case.
4. A teacher gives a convex lens and a concave mirror of focal length of 20 cm
each to his student and asks him to find their focal lengths by obtaining the image
of a distant object. The student uses a distant tree as the object and obtains its sharp
image, one by one, on a screen. The distances d1 and d2 between the lens/mirror
and the screen in the two cases and the nature of their respective sharp images are
likely to be
(a) (20 cm, 40 cm) and (erect and erect)
(b) (20 cm, 40 cm) and (inverted and inverted)
(c) (20 cm, 20 cm) and (inverted and inverted)
(d) (20 cm, 40 cm) and (erect and inverted) Give reason for your answer.
5. If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all positions of the object placed in
front of it is always erect and diminished, what type of mirror is it ? Draw a
labelled ray diagram to support your answer.
6. State the laws of refraction of light. Explain the term ‘absolute refractive index
of a medium’ and write an expression to relate it with the speed of light in vacuum.
OR 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.
7. An object of height 4.0 cm is placed at a distance of 30 cm from the optical
centre ‘O’ of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. Draw a ray diagram to find the
position and size of the image formed. Mark optical centre ‘O’ and principal focus
‘F’ on the diagram. Also find the approximate ratio of size of the image to the size
of the object.
8. An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a concave lens of focal length 15
cm. List four characteristics (nature, position, etc.) of the image formed by the
lens.
9. If the image formed by a lens for all positions of an object placed in front of it is
always erect and diminished, what is the nature of this lens ? Draw a ray diagram
to justify your answer. If the numerical value of the power of this lens is 10 D,
what is its focal length in the Cartesian system ?
10. Analyse the following observation table showing variation of image-distance
(v) with object-distance (u) in case of a convex lens and answer the questions that
follow without doing any calculations :
(a) What is the focal length of the convex lens ? Give reason to justify your
answer. (b) Write the serial number of the observation which is not correct. On
what basis have you arrived at this conclusion ? (c) Select an appropriate scale and
draw a ray diagram for the observation at S.No.2. Also find the approximate value
of magnification.
11. (a) If the image formed by a mirror for all positions of the object placed in
front of it is always diminished, erect and virtual, state the type of the mirror and
also draw a ray diagram to justify your answer. Write one use such mirrors are put
to and why. (b) Define the radius of curvature of spherical mirrors. Find the nature
and focal length of a spherical mirror whose radius of curvature is + 24 cm.
12. Study the given ray diagrams and select the correct statement from the
following :
(A) Device X is a concave mirror and device Y is a convex lens, whose focal
lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively. (B) Device X is a convex lens and
device Y is a concave mirror, whose focal lengths are 10 cm and 25 cm
respectively. (C) Device X is a concave lens and device Y is a convex mirror,
whose focal lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively. (D) Device X is a convex
lens and device Y is a concave mirror, whose focal lengths are 20 cm and 25 cm
respectively.
13. A student obtains a blurred image of a distant object on a screen using a convex
lens. To obtain a distinct image on the screen he should move the lens (A) away
from the screen (B) towards the screen (C) to a position very far away from the
screen (D) either towards or away from the screen depending upon the position of
the object.
14. A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for
different values of the angle of incidence ( i). He then measures the
corresponding values of the angle of refraction ( r) and the angle of emergence
( e) for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements
of angles, his conclusion would be (A)  i >  r >  e (B)  i =  e >  r (C)  i
<  r <  e (D)  i =  e <  r
15. A student focuses the image of a candle flame, placed at about 2 m from a
convex lens of focal length 10 cm, on a screen. After that he moves gradually the
flame towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen. (A) In which
direction does he move the lens to focus the flame on the screen ? (B) What
happens to the size of the image of the flame formed on the screen ? (C) What
difference is seen in the intensity (brightness) of the image of the flame on the
screen ? (D) What is seen on the screen when the flame is very close (at about 5
cm) to the lens?
16. State two positions in which a concave mirror produces a magnified image of a
given object. List two differences between the two images.

concave/convex mirror, on your answer sheet. Show the path of this ray, after
reflection, in each case.

19. (a) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image by a convex lens when
an object is placed in front of the lens between its optical centre and principal
focus. (b) In the above ray diagram mark the object-distance (u) and the image-
distance (v) with their proper signs (+ve or – ve as per the new Cartesian sign
convention) and state how these distances are related to the focal length (f) of the
convex lens in this case. (c) Find the power of a convex lens which forms a real,
and inverted image of magnification –1 of an object placed at a distance of 20 cm
from its optical centre.
20. A student obtained a sharp image of a candle flame placed at the distant end of
the laboratory table on a screen using a concave mirror to determine its focal
length. The teacher suggested him to focus a distant building about 1 km far from
the laboratory, for getting more correct value of the focal length. In order to focus
the distant building on the same screen the student should slightly move the : (a)
mirror away from the screen (b) screen away from the mirror (c) screen towards
the mirror (d) screen towards the building

laterally inverted (b) erect and diminished (c) inverted and diminished (d) virtual,
inverted and diminished

23. A student focuses the image of a well illuminated distant object on a screen
using a convex lens. After that he gradually moves the object towards the lens and
each time focuses its image on the screen by adjusting the lens. (i) In which
direction-towards the screen or away from the screen, does he move the lens? (ii)
What happens to the size of the image-does it decrease or increase? (iii) What
happens to the image on the screen when he moves the object very close to the
lens?
