Question
List four precautions which a student should observe while determining the focal length of a given convex lens by obtaining image of a distant object on a screen.
✓
Answer
Following are the precautions while making the image by hte help of convex lens:
- Fix the convex lens vertically in the lens holder.
- The base of the lens and white screen should be in a line with the measuring scale.
- Record the position of the lens and screen only when a well defined sharp image is formed.
- There should not be any obstacle in the path of the convex lens.

In an experiment with a rectangular glass slab, a student observed that a ray of light incident at an angle of 55° with the normal on one face of the slab, after refraction strikes the opposite face of the slab before emerging out into air making an angle of 40° with the normal. Draw a labelled diagram to show the path of this ray.’ What value would you assign to the angle of refraction and angle of emergence?
