Question
Answer the following question.
Write the modification in the curvature of the eye lens which enables us to see the nearby objects clearly?

Solution
There should be a contract in ciliary muscles, that will increase the curvature of the eye lens and becomes thicker consequently the focal length of the eye lens will decrease. It will enable us to see near objects clearly.

One half of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm is covered with a black paper. Can such a lens produce an image of a complete object placed at a distance of 30 cm from the lens? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer. A 4 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to its principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 15 cm. Find the nature, position and the size of the image.

Define linear magnification produced by a mirror?
The diagram below shows the parallel rays incident on a convex mirror. C is the centre of the curvature of the mirror. By drawing the paths of the reflected rays, label the focus F and hence find the focal length of the mirror.
If the focal length of a spherical mirror is 10 cm, what is the value of its radius of curvature?
Assertion: Incident ray is directed towards the centre of curvature of spherical mirror. After reflection it retraces its path.
Reason: Angle of incidence (i) = Angle of reflection (r) = 0°
