Class VII Science Chapter Light Mirror and Lens Solved questions and Notes

Objective type Questions:
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.

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.

Short types Questions
Q1. What do you mean by reflection of light?
Ans. Bouncing back of light when it falls on a shiny surface is called reflection of light.
Q2. How does a path of light can be changed?
Ans. By reflecting it from a Polished Surface.
Q3. What are the laws of reflection?
Ans. Angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.Incedent, reflected ray & the normal lie on the same plane.
Q4. What is the nature of image formed in a plane mirror?
Ans. Virtual, erect, same image, laterally Inverted (left appears right & vice versa), at same distance from the mirror as the object.
Q5. Difference between real & virtual image? 
Ans Real Image
Image which can be obtained on a screen Image e.g.- Plane Mirror
Virtual Image
Image which cannot be obtained on a screen e.g. – Pinhole Camera, Photograph Camera.
Q6. What type of mirror – the inner surfact of the Spoon acts as and the outer surface of the spoon acts as ?
Ans. Inner surface of the spoon acts as Concave mirror and the outer surface of the spoon acts as concave mirror.
Q7. Which concave mirror called a converging mirror and a convex mirror called a diverging mirror?
Ans. Concave mirror is called a converging mirror because parallel rays of light fall on the mirror they Converge at a point called focus.
Convex mirror is called a diverging mirror because parallel rays of light fall on it they diverge after reflection.
Q8. What is the nature of image formed in a convex mirror?
Ans. It is always virtual, erect and diminished.
Q9. What is the nature of image formed in a concave mirror?
Ans. It depends on the portion of the object in front of the mirror. If the object is very close to the mirror the image is virtual, erect & magnified. As the distance increases image becomes real, inverted & its size keeps changing.
Q10. What are the uses of concave mirror?

3) Used by makeup artists.
4) Used in torches & Car headlights to get a parallel beam of light.
Q11. What are the uses of Convex mirror?
Ans. 1) Used as a rear view mirror in vehicles because it has a wide field of view as images are smaller.
2) Used at metro Stations and big departmental stores to keep a check.
Q12. What are uses of Plane Mirror?
Ans. Plane Mirrors are used in optical testing, blind corners instrumental scales, Periscopes, telescope etc.
Q13. What is a lens?
Ans. A piece of transparent material bound by curved surfaces.
Q14. Difference between a convex lens & a Concave lens?
CONVEX LENS
1. It is Thick at the Centre and thinner at edges
2. It is called converging lens
CONCAVE LENS
1. It is thin at the center and thicker at edges
2. It is called diverging lens.
Q15. Why a convex lens is called a converging lens and a concave lens a diverging lens?
Ans. If parallel rays of light fall on a convex lens they converge at a point.
If parallel rays of light fall on a concave lens they diverge as they pass through the lens.
Q16. What is the nature of image formed in a concave lens?
Ans. Virtual, erect & diminished.
Q17. What is the nature of image formed in a convex lens?
Ans. Same as in Concave mirror.
Q18. What are the uses of lenses?
Ans. 1.Magnifying glass – Convex lens.
2. To correct eye defects –people who can not see far off objects clearly wear Concave lens.
People who cant not see nearby object clearly wear Convex lens.
3. lenses are also used in Microscope, Telescope etc.
Q19. How is the rainbow formed?
Ans. Rainbow is formed after rainfall when Sun Shines. When sunlight passes through suspended raindrops it is split into seven colours “VIBGYOR’.
Q20. Where else you can see seven colours of sunlight?
Ans. You can see Seven colours of Sunlight when it falls over Soap bubbles, oil films, Shiny surfaces of CD etc.
Q 21. State the characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror.
Ans:  
1. Image is Virtual
2. It is behind the mirror
3. Image is erect (means not inverted)
4. Image is of same size as the object
5. Image is at same distance from the mirror as the object is from the mirror.
Q22. Fill in the blanks
a. An image that cannot be obtained on a screen is called --------
b. Image formed by a convex ------------- is always virtual and smaller in size.
c. An image formed by a ------------- mirror is always of the same size as that of the object.
d. An image which can be obtained on a screen is called a ----------- image.
e. An image formed by a concave ------------ cannot be obtained on a screen.
Answers:  a) virtual image  b) convex mirror c) planed) real e) concave lens

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get dissolved in it

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

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

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
