Class 10 Science Assignment
Chapter: Light – Reflection & Refraction
Section A: Very Short Answers
1. Laws of reflection: (i) Angle of incidence = angle of reflection (ii) All rays lie in same plane
2. Focal length: Distance between pole and focus
3. Convex mirror used as rear-view mirror because wide field of view
4. Refractive index: Ratio of speed of light in vacuum to medium
Section B: Short Answers
5. Plane mirror image: virtual, erect, same size, laterally inverted
6. Refraction: bending of light when changing medium
7. Principal focus: point where parallel rays meet; Optical centre: no deviation point
Section C: Previous Year Questions
8. Laws of reflection apply to all reflecting surfaces
9. Mirror formula: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u
Numerical
10. Concave mirror: object distance = 10 cm, magnification = 3 → image distance = 30 cm
Diagram-Based Questions
11. Concave mirror (object between F and C): image is real, inverted, enlarged
12. Convex lens (object at 2F): image at 2F, real, inverted, same size
13. Glass slab: emergent ray parallel due to double refraction
Competency-Based Questions
14. Convex mirror used because image is virtual, erect, diminished
15. Stick appears bent due to refraction
16. Plane mirror forms only virtual image because rays don’t actually meet
17. Object for magnified image in concave mirror should be between F and P
