CBSE I NCERT Class X Chapter: Light-Reflection and Refraction Quiz Questions

Question: 1.  Why do we prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles?

Question: 2.  Name the mirror that can give an erect and enlarged image of an object?

Question: 3.  What could be the position of the object if the image formed by a concave mirror is observed 
to be virtual, erect and larger than the object?

Question: 4.  Is the optical centre always at the centre of lens?

Question: 5.  When the image formed is virtual and erect, what is the magnification,  positive or negative?

Question: 6. When the image formed is real and inverted, what is the magnification,  positive or negative?

Question: 7.  Is mirror formula valid only for the plane mirror?

Question: 8.  Which light will refract more, a violet or red, if they pass through the same  glass slab with the 
same angle of incident?

Question: 9.  Does Snell’s law fail, if yes than when?

Question: 10.  What is a lens? 

Answers for above Questions 

Answer: 1.  Convex mirrors enable the driver to view much  larger area than would be  possible with a plane 
mirror.

Answer : 2.  When an object is placed between the pole and  the principal focus of  a concave mirror, the 
image formed is virtual, erect, and enlarged

Answer:  3.  If the image formed by a concave mirror is virtual, erect and larger than the  object, the position 
of the object should be between the pole of the mirror  and its principal focus.

Answer:  4.  No, only if both the curved surfaces are symmetrical, optical centre will be at  the centre.

Answer:  5.  When the image formed is virtual and erect, magnification is positive.

Answer:  6.  When the image formed is real and inverted magnification is negative.

Answer:  7.  No, the mirror formula is valid for plane as well as for all spherical mirrors for  all positions of 
the object.

Answer:  8.  Violet light will refract more than the red light, because its wavelength is less  than that of red.

Answer:  9.  Snell’s law fails when the light rays incident normally on the surface of a  refracting medium. In 
this case light passes un deviated from the surface i.e. no refraction occurs.

Answer:  10.  A lens is a portion of a transparent refracting medium bounded by two  spherical surfaces, 
generally spherical or cylindrical or one curved and one  plane surface. It has a perfect or approximate axial 
symmetry which  transmits and refracts light.

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 d...

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

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 ...
