CBSE TEST PAPER-01

CLASS - XII PHYSICS (Ray Optics)

[ANSWERS]
Ans 1: When man stands beyond focus is i.e. between focus and centre of curvature, his real and
inverted image is formed beyond C is beyond him and thus he cannot see the image. But
when he stands beyond C, image is formed between focus and centre of curvature is in
front of him and thus he is able to see his image.
Ans 2: We know
d=

d=

t
sin(90o r )
cos r

( when Li = 90o )

t
cos r
cos r

d=t

Lateral shift is maximum

Ans 3: Optical fibres consist of thin and long strands of fine quality glass or quartz coated with a
thin layer of material of refractive index less than the refractive index of strands. They
work on the principle of total internal reflection so they do not suffer any loss.
Uses
The optical fibres are used in medical investigations i.e. one can examine the inside view of
stomach and intestine by a method called endoscopy.

Angle of the prism (A)= r1 + r2

For limiting Amax = (r1) max + (r2) max
(Maximum)
Value of angle of prism
for (r1) max means i = 90o
But when i = 90o (r1) max = C
Amax = C + C
Amax = 2C

The angle of incidence for which angle of refraction is 90o is called critical angle.
Ans 7:

magnifying power =

angle subtended by the image at the eye

angle subtended by the object at the eye
