12.

When an object is placed at different positions in front of a lens, isn’t there a change in the height of the image?

Answer»

Yes, There a change in the height of the image.

13.

Calculate the magnification of the image formed by convex lens in Fig

Answer»

Height of the image = (hi ) = -4 cm 

Height of the object = (h0 ) = +1 cm

Magnification = \(\cfrac{h_i}{h_0}\) = \(\cfrac{-4}{+1}\) = -4

or in another way

m = v/4

v = +100, u = -25

m = \(\cfrac{100}{-25}\) = -4

14.

Take a clean mineral water bottle and fill it with water. Put a hole on one side of the bottle. Allow water to flow out while passing a laser ray through it What do you observe? Why?

Answer»

As water throws out of the opening observe the case beam remains trapped in the water stream because of total internal reflection. As light tries to pass from the more dense water to the less dense air. it bends. In narrow column of water, the light wave continues bouncing off the boundaries of the stream of water but cannot pass through into the air.

15.

What is Chinook? Write a note on features of Chinook.

In this case, refracted Ray do not actually intersect to each other. It appears to intersect the images formed the same side of the lens.

22.

Figure shows a simplified model of the eye that is based on the assumption that all of the refraction of entering light occurs at the cornea.The cornea is a converging lens located at the outer surface of the eye with fixed focal lenght of nearly 2 cm. Parallel lights coming from infinite distance refract from cornea have been shown to produce a focused image on the retina.The retina then transmits electrical impulses of formation of image along the optic nerve to the brain.Myopia and hyperopia are two common defects of eye. Myopia or near sightedness occurs when lights coming from distances after the refraction from the cornea focuses the image of a distant object in from of the retina.Hyperopia or far sightendness occurs when after refraction cornea focuses the image of nearby object behind the retina. Both these types of defect are corrected by using lenses of suitable focal length and nature, such that the combination of additional lens and cornea together form a focused image again on the retina.The distant object may be considered to be placed at infinite distance, then image distance from cornea (v) isevaluated by the following relationship :1/f + 1/f1 - x = 1/v, fc = focal length of corneaf1 = focal length of correcting lensx = Distance between cornea and additional lens.How far should the retina be from the cornea for normal vision?(A) 1.0 cm(B) 2.0 cm(C) 4.0 cm(D) 0.5 cm

Observe the picture and answer the questions. a. Which is the periodic wind marked in the picture? b. In which season does it blow? c. Why do these winds blow form Indian Ocean to Indian subcontinent? d. In which direction do these winds blow? Why?

Answer»

a. Monsoon wind: South west monsoon wind. 

b. During summer season of Northern Hemisphere. 

c. Low pressure is formed over Indian subcontinent due to the intense day temperature. The Indian Ocean regions remain as high pressure during this time. So these winds blow from the Indian Ocean to Indian subcontinent.

d. South west monsoon winds blow from sea to land. The difference in pressure over land and sea is the reason.

Answer»

Correct answer is: b. Refraction

38.

What does this picture indicate ? Analyse the picyure and prepare a note.

Answer»

The picture indicates Coriolis Force. Freely moving bodies get deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere due to a force generated as a result of earth’s rotation. This is known as the Coriolis Force. This force increases as it moves towards the poles from the Equator. Admiral Ferrell found out that the winds in the northern hemisphere deflect towards their right and those in the southern hemisphere deflect towards their left due to the Coriolis effect. The law put forward by him on the basis of this known as Ferrell’s Law.

What happens if concave mirror is used as a rear view mirror

Answer» A concave mirror is similar to a convex lens. It converges the light rays falling on its surface. ait has a focal point, the point at which all the light rays, form an infinite distance and parallel to its axis are converged. Of the object is beyond the focal point of the mirror it will form a real image which will be always on the same side as the object. The image distance varies as the position of the object changes. It forms an image behind itself only when an object is placed closer than its focal point. In this case the image is virtual. For a rear view mirror, the object can be anywhere in front of the mirror. Using a concave mirror is not convenient in such case.

A convex mirror, on the contrary, always forms an image behind itself, its a virtual image, is vertical and always smaller than the object.

If a concave mirror is used as a rearview mirror of a vehicle as a concave mirror produces the completely inverted image of the real image to be produced. When we use a concave mirror the image of the distant object gets inverted so it is not physically possible to use them.

41.

During dispersion, different colours deviate differently. Explain why.

Answer»

The rate of refraction for different col-ours during dispersion is different due to the difference in wavelength of the colours. The rate of refraction decreases with increase in wavelength. Dispersion. is the phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours.

42.

Name the phenomenon responsible for dispersion of light.

Answer»

Name the phenomenon is: Refraction

43.

Analyse the picture and answer the questions.a. What is the colour of the light falling on the white screen? b. What colour is obtained on the screen if blue filter is used instead of green filter?

Answer»

a. Green 

b. When blue filter paper is used, no light will fall on the screen. The yellow, green and red colours coming out of the yellow filter will not pass through blue filter paper.

44.

The telescope called ‘Chandra X-ray Observatory’ is placed in the outer space. What is the advantage of placing it there?Explain with reference to the scattering of light in the atmosphere.

Answer»

Light can reach the telescope which is kept in space without scattering as there are no gases and tiny particles in space. So we can observe the heavenly bodies clearly there. The pictures may not be clear on earth due to the scattering of light.

45.
