Question 2 Explanation: 
Explanation PROPERTIES OF LIGHT: Light is a form of energy Light always travels along a straight line. When light is incident on the interface between two media, it is partly reflected and partly refracted. Th e speed of light can be calculated using the following equation: c = ν λ (c - velocity of light).
Question 3

Question 3 Explanation: 
Light does not need any medium for its propagation. It can even travel through vacuum. The speed of light in vacuum or air is, c = 3 × 10^8 m/s. Since, light is in the form of waves, it is characterized by a wavelength (λ) and a frequency (ν), which are related by the following equation: c = ν λ (c - velocity of light).
Question 4

What is the formula to calculate the Power of a lens?
A
1 /f
B
– f
C
u – v
D
f/x
Question 50 Explanation: 
The ability of a lens to converge (convex lens) or diverge (concave lens) is called as its power. Hence, the power of a lens can be defined as the degree of convergence or divergence of light rays. Power of a lens is numerically defined as the reciprocal of its focal length. P = 1 /f
Question 51
What is the SI unit of Power of a lens?
A
Dioptre
B
m
C
1/m
D
1/D
Question 51 Explanation: 
The SI unit of power of a lens is dioptre. It is represented by the symbol D. If focal length is expressed in ‘m’, then the power of lens is expressed in ‘D’. Thus, 1D is the power of a lens, whose focal length is 1metre. 1D = 1m^-1
Question 52
What is the power of concave lens?
A
Positive
B
Negative
C
Neutral
D
None
Question 52 Explanation: 
By convention, the power of a convex lens is taken as positive whereas the power of a concave lens is taken, as negative. The lens formula and lens maker’s formula are applicable to only thin lenses. In the case of thick lenses, these formulae with little modifications are used.

The ability of the eye lens to focus nearby as well as the distant objects is called power of accommodation of the eye. This is achieved by changing the focal length of the eye lens with the help of ciliary muscles.
Question 61
Which of the following statement is correct?
  1. Eye lens is made of a flexible, jelly-like material
  2. When we see distant objects, the ciliary muscle relaxes and makes the eye lens thinner
  3. when we look at a closer object, the focal length of the eye lens is decreased by the contraction of ciliary muscle
A
1, 2
B
1, 3
C
3 alone
D
All the above
Question 61 Explanation: 
Eye lens is made of a flexible, jelly-like material. By relaxing and contracting the ciliary muscle, the curvature and hence the focal length of the eye lens can be altered. When we see distant objects, the ciliary muscle relaxes and makes the eye lens thinner. This increases the focal length of the eye lens. Hence, the distant object can be clearly seen. On the other hand, when we look at a closer object, the focal length of the eye lens is decreased by the contraction of ciliary muscle. Thus, the image of the closer object is clearly formed on the retina.

A
1, 2
B
1, 3
C
3 alone
D
All the above
Question 66 Explanation: 
Myopia, also known as short sightedness, occurs due to the lengthening of eye ball. With this defect, nearby objects can be seen clearly but distant objects cannot be seen clearly. Th e focal length of eye lens is reduced or the distance between eye lens and retina increases. Hence, the far point will not be infinity for such eyes and the far point has come closer.
Question 67

A
x y /x−y
B
x /x−y
C
y /x−y
D
x−y / x y
Question 68 Explanation: 
Let a person with myopia eye can see up to a distance x. Suppose that he wants to see all objects farther than this distance, i.e., up to infinity. Then the focal length of the required concave lens is f = –x. If the person can see up to a distance x and he wants to see up to a distance y, then, the focal length of the required concave lens is, f = x y /x – y
Question 69
Which of the following statement is correct about Hypermetropia?

  3. Th e focal length of eye lens is increased or the distance between eye lens and retina decreases.
A
1, 2
B
1, 3
C
3 alone
D
All the above
Question 69 Explanation: 
Hypermetropia, also known as long sightedness, occurs due to the shortening of eye ball. With this defect, distant objects can be seen clearly but nearby objects cannot be seen clearly. The focal length of eye lens is increased or the distance between eye lens and retina decreases. Hence, the near point will not be at 25cm for such eyes and the near point has moved farther. Due to this, the image of nearby objects is/are formed behind the retina. This defect can be corrected using a convex lens.

A
1 alone
B
2 alone
C
1, 2
D
None
Question 70 Explanation: 
Due to ageing, ciliary muscles become weak and the eye-lens become rigid (inflexible) and so the eye loses its power of accommodation. Because of this, an aged person cannot see the nearby objects clearly. So, it is also called as ‘old age hypermetropia’.

Concave
B
Convex
C
Bifocal
D
It cannot be corrected
Question 71 Explanation: 
Some persons may have both the defects of vision - myopia as well as hypermetropia. This can be corrected by bifocal lenses.

Question 72
Astigmatism can be corrected by using________ lenses
A
Concave
B
Convex
C
Bifocal
D
Cylindrical
Question 72 Explanation: 
In this defect, eye cannot see parallel and horizontal lines clearly. It may be inherited or acquired. It is due to the imperfect structure of eye lens because of the development of cataract on the lens, ulceration of cornea, injury to the refracting surfaces, etc. Astigmatism can be corrected by using cylindrical lenses (Torrid lenses).
