In Fig. 8.6, if PA and PB are tangents to the circle with centre O such that ∠APB = 50°, then ∠PAB is equal to
  • a)
    35°
  • b)
    65°
  • c)
    40°
  • d)
    70°
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
In triangle PAB
∠A+∠B+∠P=180
x+x+50=180 [ if tangents are drawn from same point then they are equal so PAB is a isoceles triangle ]
2x=130
x=65

The lens which is used to correct myopia (shortsightedness) is
  • a)
    Both convex and concave
  • b)
    Concave lens
  • c)
    Converging lens
  • d)
    Convex Lens
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
Shortsightedness is corrected using a concave (curved inwards) lens which is placed in front of a myopic eye, moving the image back to the retina and making it clearer.

Which lens always forms diminished and erect image ?
  • a)
    Convex lens
  • b)
    Concave lens
  • c)
    Converging lens
  • d)
    Both convex and concave
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

A concave lens (also known as a diverging lens) is thinner in the center and thicker at the edges. When light rays pass through a concave lens, they diverge (spread out), causing the rays to appear to come from a single point on the same side of the lens as the object. This results in the formation of a virtual image.
Key characteristics of the image formed by a concave lens:
  • Diminished: The image is smaller than the actual object.
  • Erect: The image is upright, meaning it has the same orientation as the object.
  • Virtual: The image cannot be projected on a screen because the light rays do not actually meet but only appear to do so when extended backward.
Because of these properties, a concave lens always forms a diminished, erect, and virtual image, no matter where the object is placed in front of the lens.
On the other hand, a convex lens (also known as a converging lens) can form different types of images (real and inverted or virtual and erect) depending on the position of the object relative to the lens. But it does not always form a diminished and erect image, unlike the concave lens.

In a convex lens, where is the image formed, when an object is placed at 2F ?
  • a)
    Between F and 2F
  • b)
    At focus (F)
  • c)
    At 2F on the other side
  • d)
    At 2F on the same side
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
At the 2F point, the object distance equals the image distance and the object height equals the image height. As the object distance approaches one focal length, the image distance and image height approaches infinity.

The minimum distance between an object and its real image in a convex lens is (f = focal length of the lens) 
  • a)
    2.5 f
  • b)
    2 f
  • c)
    4 f
  • d)
    f
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Arun Sharma answered
Let the distance between the object and its real image formed by convex lens be d1​.
Let the distance of the object from lens be x,so,the image distance from the lens is (d-x)
The minimum distance between an object and its real image in a convex lens is 4f.
hence,option C is correct.

Drop of water behaves likes a
  • a)
    Diverging lens
  • b)
    Concave lens
  • c)
    Convex lens
  • d)
    Both convex and concave
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The surface of a water drop curves outward to make a dome. This outward, or convex, curvature bends light rays inward.  will act as a concave lens that bends the light rays outward. As a result, letters seen through the layer of water in a cup appear smaller than they are.

A magnifying glass is a
  • a)
    Both convex and concave
  • b)
    Concave lens
  • c)
    Diverging lens
  • d)
    Convex Lens
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

A magnifying glass is a convex lens used to make an object appear much larger than it actually is. This works when the object is placed at a distance less than the focal length from the lens.

Which lens always forms a virtual image ?
  • a)
    Concave lens
  • b)
    Convex lens
  • c)
    Converging lens
  • d)
    Both convex and concave
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini nair answered
Explanation:

A virtual image is an image that cannot be projected onto a screen. It is always located on the opposite side of the lens from the object and is always upright. Virtual images are formed when light rays appear to come from a point behind the lens, rather than actually converging at that point.

Concave Lens:
- A concave lens is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges.
- When light rays pass through a concave lens, they diverge or spread out.
- As a result, a concave lens always forms a virtual image that is upright, smaller in size, and located between the lens and the object.

Convex Lens:
- A convex lens is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges.
- When light rays pass through a convex lens, they converge or come together.
- Depending on the placement of the object, a convex lens can form either a real or virtual image.

Converging Lens:
- A converging lens is another name for a convex lens.
- As discussed above, a converging lens can form both real and virtual images.

Conclusion:
Based on the above explanation, it can be concluded that a concave lens always forms a virtual image.

The image formed by a convex lens is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Then the position of the object should be
  • a)
    beyond the centre of curvature
  • b)
    at the centre of curvature
  • c)
    between the focus and the centre of curvature
  • d)
    between the pole and focus
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ritu Saxena answered
The image formed by a convex lens is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Then the position of the object should be. If the object is placed between the pole and focus, then the image formed will be virtual, erect and enlarged.

C (O, r1) and C (O, r2) are two concentric circles with r1 > r2. AB is a chord of C (O, r1) touching C (O, r2) at C then
  • a)
    AB = r1
  • b)
    AB = r2
  • c)
    AC = BC
  • d)
     AB = r1 + r2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Arjun Dasgupta answered

Given that AB is chord of bigger circle and it is tangent to a smaller circle touching at C.
Then AB is perpendicular to OC. C is mid point of AB then AC = BC.

What is one reason why caste alone cannot determine election results in India?
  • a)
    All political parties have equal representation of different castes.
  • b)
    Caste-based voting patterns are not significant in urban areas.
  • c)
    Many voters consider factors other than caste, such as party ideology and candidate credibility.
  • d)
    Caste identities are legally prohibited from influencing elections.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Many voters in India consider factors beyond caste when casting their votes, such as the party’s ideology, candidate's credibility, and local issues. This diversity in voting considerations means that caste alone cannot determine election outcomes, as electoral decisions are influenced by a range of political and social factors.

Is the optical centre always at the centre of lens?
  • a)
    Never
  • b)
    Only if both the curved surfaces are asymmetrical
  • c)
    Only if both the curved surfaces are symmetrical
  • d)
    Yes
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Vivek R answered
1)take a convex lens 2)take a small slice of convex lens away from optical axis(from any of the either side) 3)the small part of the lens now would still act as a lens but the optical centre is outside the body. hence it is necessary that the convex and the concave curves of a convex lens be symmetrical and only then the optical centre would be at the centre of the lens.

Which lens has a virtual focus?
  • a)
    Concave lens
  • b)
    Convex lens
  • c)
    Converging lens
  • d)
    Both convex and concave
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arun Yadav answered
Concave lenses are thinner at the middle. Rays of light that pass through the lens are spread out (they diverge). A concave lens is a diverging lens. When parallel rays of light pass through a concave lens the refracted rays diverge so that they appear to come from one point called the principal focus.

In the given figure, AB and AC are tangents to the circle with centre O such that ∠BAC = 40°, then ∠BOC is equal to
  • a)
    40°
  • b)
    50°
  • c)
    140°
  • d)
    150°
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Avi Mukherjee answered
The raddi to the tangents of contact make right and so the sum of the two angles will be 180degree

In a quadrilateral, the sum of the angles is 360degree

so the other two angles add up to 180degree
∠ACO =  ∠ABO = 90degree

find  ∠BOC = ?

∵∠BAC = 40degree

∠BAC +∠BOC  = 180degree

∠BOC = (180degree 40degree)

∠BOC = 140degree
