Question 1.
What happens to a ray parallel to the principal axis when it hits a convex lens?
Show hintHide hint
Think about where the light concentrates.
Question 2.
Define a concave lens.
Show hintHide hint
How does it shape light?
3Question 3.
What is the focal point of a convex lens?
- The point where light diverges
- The point where parallel rays converge
- The point where rays pass straight
Show hintHide hint
Think about how light rays interact after passing through.
4Question 4.
True or False: A ray parallel to the principal axis in a concave lens diverges upon refraction.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the properties of light as it encounters concave lenses.
Question 5.
Analyze a scenario where an object is moved closer to a convex lens. Predict how the image distance changes and illustrate with a ray diagram.
Show hintHide hint
Remember the rules of ray diagrams as you draw.
Question 6.
A concave lens has a focal length of -5 cm. Determine the image location for an object located 10 cm from the lens using the lens formula.
Show hintHide hint
Use the lens formula carefully with proper sign conventions.
