Important Questions on Light - Reflection and Refraction

MEDIUM
A 10 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 12 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 18 cm. Find the nature, position and size of the image formed.
HARD

A virtual, diminished image is formed when an object is placed between the optical centre and the principal focus of a lens.
(i) Name the type of lens which forms the above image.
(ii) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image with the above stated characteristics.  

MEDIUM
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 the size of the image to the size of the object.
EASY
State the position of the object in front of a converging lens if It produces a real and same size image of the object.
EASY
If the lens is placed in water instead of air, how does its focal length change? 
EASY

What is the relation between the refractive index of water with respect to air μwa , and the refractive index of air with respect to water μaw .

HARD
A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of a needle at a distance of 50 cm from it. Where is the needle placed in front of the convex lens if the image is equal to the size of the object? Also, find the power of the lens.
EASY

If the refractive index of water with respect to air (μwa )  is 53.  Calculate the refractive index of air with respect to water (μaw ).

EASY
An object is placed at a distance 24 cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 8 cm. What is the nature of the image so formed?
EASY
State the position of the object in front of a converging lens if It is used as a magnifying lens.
EASY
Define power of a lens. What is its unit?
EASY
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. 
MEDIUM
Find the power of a concave lens of focal length 2 m.
MEDIUM
Write any three differences between a convex lens and a concave lens.
EASY
Name the instrument used for measuring the power of a lens.
HARD

An object is placed at a distance 24 cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 8 cm.
(i) Calculate the distance of the image from the lens.
(ii) Calculate the magnification of the image.

EASY
Which lens, thick or thin has greater focal length?
MEDIUM
A concave lens has focal length 15 cm. At what distance should the object from the lens be placed so that it forms an image at 10 cm from the lens? Also find the magnification produced by the lens.
