Which of the following diagrams shows the ray of light refracted correctly?

A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. If the object is now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected?

Explain why, a real image can be projected on a screen but a virtual image cannot.

Give two uses of a convex mirror. Explain why you would choose convex mirror for these uses.

An object is placed at a distance of 40cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 40cm. List four characteristics of the image formed by the mirror.

Light travels more quickly through water than through glass:

1. Which is optically denser: Water or glass?
2. If a ray of light passes from glass into water, which way will it bend: Towards the normal or away from the normal?

The refractive indices of glass and water with respect to air are 3/2 and 4/3 respectively. If speed of light in glass is 2×108 m/s, find the speed of light in water.

Explain what is meant by a virtual, magnified image.

‘‘A concave mirror of focal length 15cm can form a magnified erect as well as inverted image of an object placed in front of it.’’ Justify this statement stating the position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror in both cases for obtaining the images.
