Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each given as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following 4 responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are wrong.
Question1. Assertion: Plane mirror may form real image.
Reason: Plane mirror forms virtual image, if object is real.
Question 2. Assertion: The focal length of the convex mirror will increase, if the mirror is placed in water.
Reason: The focal length of a convex mirror of radius R is equal to , f = R/2.
Question 3. Assertion : The image formed by a concave mirror is certainly real if the object is virtual.
Reason: The image formed by a concave mirror is certainly virtual if the object is real.
Question 4. Assertion: The image of an extended object placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a mirror, will be erect if the object is real but the image is virtual.
Reason: The image of an extended object, placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a mirror, will be erect if the object is virtual but the image is real.
Question 5. Assertion: An object is placed at a distance of f from a convex mirror of focal length f its image will form at infinity.
Reason: The distance of image in convex mirror can never be infinity
Question 6. Assertion: The image of a point object situated at the centre of hemispherical lens is also at the centre.
Reason: For hemisphere Snell’s law is not valid.
Question 7. Assertion: The focal length of an equiconvex lens of radius of curvature R made of material of refractive index μ = 1.5, is R.
Reason : The focal length of the lens will be R/2.
Question 8. Assertion: If the rays are diverging after emerging from a lens; the lens must be concave.
Reason: The convex lens can give diverging rays.
Question 9. Assertion: The resolving power of a telescope is more if the diameter of the objective lens is more.
Reason: Objective lens of large diameter collects more light.
Question 10. Assertion: The optical instruments are used to increase the size of the image of the object.
Reason: The optical instruments are used to increase the visual angle.
