1. Out of convex mirror and concave mirror, whose focus is situated behind the mirror?

Ans: The focus of convex mirror is situated behind it.

 2. For what position of an object, a concave mirror forms an enlarged virtual image?

Ans: Object between pole (P) and focus (F) of the concave mirror.

 3. If the focal length of a concave mirror is 25cm. What is its radius of curvature?

Ans: Focal length = Radius of curvature / 2

25 = R / 2

R = 25 X 2 = 50cm.

 4. A ray of light falls on a mirror normally. What are the values of angle of incidence and the angle of 
reflection?

Ans: Both angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are zero.

 5. What is the focal length of a plane mirror?

Ans: Infinite.

 6. Which spherical mirror is called a divergent mirror?

Ans: A convex mirror is called a divergent mirror.

 7. What is the angle of incidence, when a ray of light falls on the spherical mirror from its centre of curvature?

Ans: The angle of incidence is zero, when a ray of light falls on the spherical mirror from its centre of
curvature.

 8. Name the type of mirror that always forms a virtual image for a real object?

Ans: Convex Mirror.

 9. State the relation between radius of curvature and focal length of spherical mirrors.

Ans: Radius of curvature = 2 X focal length.

R = 2f.

 10. Which of the two is a diverging lens? Convex lens (or) Concave lens.

Ans: Concave lens.

 11. If an object is placed at a distance of 10cm in front of a plane mirror, how far would it be from its image?

Ans: The object would be at a distance of 20cm from its image.

 12. Name the physical quantity which remains the same when light goes from one medium to another?

Ans: Frequency of light.

 13. Define power of a lens.

Ans: The reciprocal of the focal length of the lens is called power of a lens. P = 1/f

Ans: Focal length f = 25cm.

Power = 1/.25 = 100/25 = +4D.

Ans: It is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium is called Refractive index.

 17. Why is the convex lens also known as a converging lens?

Ans: A convex lens is also known as a converging lens because it converges a parallel beam of light raying
passing through it.

 18. Give the ratio of velocities of two light waves travelling is vacuum and having wave lengths 4000A and 
8000A.

 Some uses of convex lens:

1. In spectacles for eyes suffering from hypermetropia.

2. In the lens combination of camera, telescope, microscope

3. It is also used as a magnifying lens.

 25. What is the value of refractive index of air?

Ans: One

26.A ray of light passes through an equilateral glass prism, such that angle of  incidence is equal to the angle of emergence. If the angle of emergence is ¾ times the angle of prism, calculate the refractive index of glass prism? 
Solution: 
As the prism is an equilateral one A = 600
Also I = e = ¾ A = ¾ X 60 0 = 45 0
Further as the angle of incidence is equal to the angel of emergence, the prism is in minimum deviation position. We know that when the prism is placed in minimum deviation position r = A/2 = 300 and I = 450

N = Sin i/Sin r = 1Ö2 X 2 = Ã–2.

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
