उत्तर
| Concave lens | Convex lens | |
| 1. | It is a diverging lens because it diverges the rays falling on it. | It is a converging lens because it converges the rays falling on it. |
| 2. | It is thin at the center and bulged at the edge. | It is thin at the edge and bulged at the centre. |
| 3. | The image formed by concave lens is always diminished and virtual. | The image formed by convex lens can be real as well as virtual. Also, the image formed can be diminished as well as magnified. |
| 4. | It has a virtual focus. | It has a real focus. |

Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in the above situation
A student places a candle flame at a distance of about 60 cm from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm and focuses the image of the flame on a screen. After that he gradually moves the flame towards the lens and each time focuses the image on the screen.
(a) In which direction-toward or away from the lens, does he move the screen to focus the image?
(b) How does the size of the image change?
(c) How does the intensity of the image change as the flame moves towards the lens?
(d) Approximately for what distance between the flame and the lens, the image formed on the screen is inverted and of the same size?
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image of an object be placed so that a real and inverted image of the same size as the object is obtained using a convex lens
Draw a labelled ray diagram to show how a ray of light is refracted when it passes:
from an optically denser medium into air.

What type of lens is shown in the diagram on the right? What will happen to the parallel rays of light? Show by completing the ray diagram.
With the help of a labelled diagram explain how a convex lens converges a beam of parallel light rays. Mark the principal axis, optical centre, principal focus and focal length of the convex lens on the diagram.

The diagram alongside shows the refraction of a ray of light from sir to a liquid.
(a) write the values of (i) angle of incidence, (ii) angle of refraction.
(b) use snell’s law to find the refractive index of liquid with respect to air.

(A) 1, 2 and 3
(B) 2, 3 and 4
(C) 3, 4 and 5
(D) 1, 2 and 4

(b) Show by a ray diagram the formation of a real image by simple magnifying lens.
Which lens can produce a real and inverted image of an object?
Diagram shows an object AB placed on the principal axis B of a convex lens placed in air. F1 and F2 are the two foci of the lens.

(i) Copy the diagram:
Draw a ray of light starting from B and passing through O. Show the same ray after refraction by the lens. Draw another ray from B which passes through F2 after refraction by the lens. Locate the final image
(ii) Is the image real or virtual?
