Science (English Medium) कक्षा १२ - CBSE Important Questions for Physics

Answer briefly.

Give two uses of radio waves.

Arrange the following electromagnetic radiation in the ascending order of their frequencies:

X-rays, microwaves, gamma rays, radio waves

Write two uses of the following radiation.

Gamma rays

State the condition under which a large magnification can be achieved in an astronomical telescope.

Write the necessary conditions for the phenomenon of total internal reflection to

occur ?

Write the relation between the refractive index and critical angle for a given pair of optical media?

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.

Answer the following questions based on the above information:

(a) Which principle in optics is made use of in endoscopy?

(b) Briefly explain the values reflected in the action taken by the teacher.

(c) In what way do you appreciate the response of the doctor on the given situation?

Define magnifying power of a telescope. Write its expression.

A small telescope has an objective lens of focal length 150 cm and an eye piece of focal length 5 cm. If this telescope is used to view a 100 m high tower 3 km away, find the height of the final image when it is formed 25 cm away from the eye piece.

How is the working of a telescope different from that of a microscope?

The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece of a microscope are 1.25 cm and 5 cm respectively. Find the position of the object relative to the objective in order to obtain an angular magnification of 30 in normal adjustment.

A ray of light passes through a prism of refractive index `sqrt2` as shown in the figure. Find:

1. The angle of incidence (∠r₂) at face AC.
2. The angle of minimum deviation for this prism.

With the help of a ray diagram explain the working of a reflecting telescope.

A point object is placed at O in front of a glass sphere as shown in figure.

Show the formation of the image by the sphere.

A concave mirror of focal length 12 cm forms three times the magnified virtual image of an object. Find the distance of the object from the mirror.

Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the image formation by a refracting telescope. Define its magnifying power.

Draw a ray diagram for the formation of image of an object by an astronomical telescope, in normal adjustment. Obtain the expression for its magnifying power.

The magnifying power of an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment is 2.9 and the objective and the eyepiece are separated by a distance of 150 cm. Find the focal lengths of the two lenses.

Using Huygens's construction of secondary wavelets explain how a diffraction pattern is obtained on a screen due to a narrow slit on which a monochromatic beam of light is incident normally.

In Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light of wavelength λ, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where path difference is λ, is K units. Find out the intensity of light at a point where path difference is `λ/3`.
