The centre of sphere of which the mirror is a part, is its centre of curvature. *2. Pole (P). The centre of the spherical mirror is the pole. *3. Principal axis of mirror. The straight line passing through the pole and centre of curvature of mirror is its principal axis. *4. Focus length of concave mirror. The rays parallel to principal axis get reflected from the mirror, and meet in front of the mirror at a single point. It is the focus of the concave mirror. 30 SCHOOL SECTION

7 MT EDUCARE LTD. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY *5. Focal length of mirror. The distance between the pole and the focus is called focal length of mirror. The focal length is half of the radius of curvature. f R 2 LENS *6. Centre of curvature of lens. It is the centre of the imaginary sphere, which forms the given lens. Each lens has two centres of curvature C and C 2 respectively. *7. Principal axis of lens. It is an imaginary straight line passing through the two centres of curvatures of lens. *8. Optical centre of lens. The central point of lens on the principal axis is its optical centre. When a ray of light passes through the optical centre of a lens, it passes without undergoing any deviation. *9. Principal focus of convex lens (F). When several rays of light parallel to principal axis are incident on a convex lens, they converge at a point on a principal axis. It is the principal focus of the convex lens. Every lens has two principal foci. *0. Focal length of lens. The distance of principal focus and optical centre of the lens is the focal length.. Adaptation. The tendency of pupil to adjust the opening for light is called adaptation. 2. Power of accommodation. The ability of the lens of adjusting focal length is know as power of accommodation. 3. Distance of distinct vision. The minimum distance from the normal eye, at which the object can be seen clearly and distinctly without any strain on the eye is known as the distance of distinct vision. It is about 25 cm for normal human eye. Q.III (A) Give scientific reasons : MIRROR *. Concave mirror is called converging mirror.. When rays of light parallel to the principal axis are incident on concave mirror they converge. 2. After convergence they meet at one point on the principal axis, hence concave mirror is called converging mirror. 2. Concave mirrors are used in torches and in car headlights.. Concave mirrors are used in torches and car headlights because when a source of light is placed at the focus of a concave mirror, a parallel beam of light rays are formed. 2. This helps us to see things upto a considerable distance in the darkness. *3. Concave mirrors are used in solar devices.. Solar devices like solar cooker or solar water heater uses solar energy to cook food or heat water. 2. When Sun ray falls on the concave mirror, they converge. 3. Due to convergence the intensity of Sun rays increases and the food or water is heated faster. Hence concave mirrors are used in solar devices. SCHOOL SECTION 3

8 SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY MT EDUCARE LTD. 4. A dentist uses a concave mirror while examining teeth.. Concave mirror produces an erect, virtual and highly magnified image of an object placed between its pole and focus. 2. Dentist uses this principle to get a clear and distinct image of teeth, hence dentist use a concave mirror. LENS 5. You cannot enjoy watching a movie from a very short distance from the screen in a cinema hall.. Ciliary muscles are responsible for changing the focal length of lens to observe near and far away objects by changing curvature of lens. 2. If the object is too close, the eyelens curvature cannot be changed enough, causing strain on the eye and may sometimes cause blurred image. 3. Hence one cannot enjoy watching a movie from a very short distance from the screen in a cinema hall. *6. A simple microscope is used by watch repairers.. A magnifying glass works on the principle of simple microscope. 2. When a object is placed within the focal length of a convex lens we get a virtual, erect and magnified image on the same side of the lens. 3. This principle is used by the watch repairer to see the small parts more clearly. Hence watchmakers use a magnifying glass while repairing wrist watches. 7. Concave lens is also called a diverging lens.. When rays of light parallel to the optical axis pass through a concave lens they diverge. 2. After divergence they appear to meet at a point on the optical axis. 3. As concave lens diverges the rays, it is called as diverging lens. 8. Convex lens is also called a converging lens.. When rays of light parallel to the optical axis pass through a convex lens they converge. 2. After convergence they meet at a point on the optical axis. 3. As convex lens converges the rays, it is called as converging lens. 9. A concave lens is used to correct myopia.. In myopia the distance between eye lens and retina increases as eyeball is lengthened or lens is curved. 2. A concave lens causes light rays to diverge before they strike the lens of the eye. 3. The power of concave lens is so closen that it creates required divergence and hence after convergence by eye lens, the image is formed on the retina. 0. Convex lens is used to correct hypermetropia.. In hypermetropia, the distance on account of either shortening of eye ball or flattening of lens. 2. A convex lens causes converging of rays before they strike the retina of the eye. 3. The power of convex lens is so chosen that it creates required convergence and hence after convergence by eye lens, the image is formed on the retina.. Old people use bifocal glasses.. Few old people, suffer both myopia and hypermetropia. 2. In bifocal lens upper part is concave lens to correct myopia and lower part is convex lens to correct hypermetropia. 32 SCHOOL SECTION

9 MT EDUCARE LTD. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 3. The concave lens is useful for distant vision and convex lens for near vision. 4. Hence old people use bifocal glasses. Q.III (B) Answer the following questions in short : MIRROR *. State the different positions of source of light with respect to concave mirror.. In torches : The source of light is placed at the focus. 2. Projector lamps : The source of light is placed at the centre of curvature. 3. Flood lights : The source of light is placed just beyond the centre of curvature. *2. What are the rules for drawing ray diagrams for the formation of image by spherical mirror? The rules are as follows :. If the incident ray is parallel to the principal axis, then the reflected ray passes through focus. 2. If the incident ray is passing through the focus then the reflected ray is parallel to the principal axis. 3. If the incident ray passes through the centre of curvature, the reflected ray traces the same path. *3. If you are given a part of hollow spherical glass, how will you convert it into concave mirror? The inner side of the hollow spherical glass is concave, hence the outer side should be coated with reflecting layer to make inner side concave mirror. LENS *4. What is meant by power of accommodation of eye?. The ability of the lens of adjusting focal length is known as power of accommodation. 2. The process of focusing the eye at different distances is called accommodation. 3. This is brought about by a change in curvature of the elastic lens making it thinner or fatter. *5. State the function of iris and ciliary muscles.. Iris in human eye controls and regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting and dialating the pupil. 2. Ciliary muscles adjusts the focal length of eye lens by contracting and relaxing. 6. Explain presbyopia. How does it occurs?. Presbyopia is also called as old age hypermetropia. 2. The power of accommodation of eye usually decreases with ageing. The near point of aged people recedes and they find it difficult to see nearby objects comfortably and clearly. 3. As ciliary muscles lose the capacity to change focal length of eye lens, aged people experience eye lens presbyopia. 4. It is corrected by using convex lens of suitable focal length. 7. Explain magnification by a lens with formula.. The magnification produced by lens is the ratio of height of the image (h 2 ) and the height of object (h ). Height of the image Magnification Height of the object h2 M h SCHOOL SECTION 33

10 SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY MT EDUCARE LTD. 2. Magnification produced by a lens is also related to the object distance (u) and image distance (v). Distance of the image Magnification Distance of the object M v u 8. Explain power of lens with suitable formula. The degree of convergence of light rays achieved by convex lens is expressed in terms of power of lens. It is the reciprocal of the focal length. P f (in metre) Unit of power of lens is dioptre. 9. What are the rules for obtaining images by convex lens? Following are rules for obtaining images by convex lens.. If the incident ray is parallel to principal axis, then the refracted ray passes through focus. 2. Ray of light passing through the optical centre passes through the optical centre undeviated. 3. If the incident ray is passing through the focus, the refracted ray passes parallel to the principal axis. Q.IV (A) Distinguish between : *. Myopia and Hypermetropia. Myopia.
