Physics Chapter 10: Refraction and Dispersion of Light 1.

The phenomenon where light rays change their directions as they travel from a transparent medium to another transparent medium is known as __________________. 2. Draw a schematic diagram to illustrate the refraction of light.

3. The medium with greater speed of light is called the ___________________________ while the one with lower speed of light is called the ____________________________. 4. What are the effects of refraction?

5. When the angle of refraction in the optically less dense medium is 90, the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium is called the _______________________. 6. When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, all the light will be totally internally reflected, this is called ___________________________________. 7. What are the applications of total internal reflection?

8. Indicate whether total internal reflection will occur in the following situations: a. Light travelling from oil to water b. Light travelling from glass to air c. Light travelling from air to oil d. Light travelling from water to glass 9. The two types of lenses are _____________________ and __________________________.

10. Draw the following lenses: a. Converging lens b. Diverging lens

11. The _____________________ joins the centres of curvature of two spherical surfaces of the lens. 12. In a convex lens, parallel light converge to a point called ________________________. 13. The distance from focal point to the optical centre is called ____________________. 14. Try Exercise 10.3 Question 2. 15. Construct a ray diagram having a convex lens of 5cm focal length with an object placed 7cm from the lens.

16. Construct a ray diagram having a concave lens of 8cm focal length with an object placed 5cm from the lens.

17. Construct a ray diagram having a convex lens of 7cm focal length with an object placed 3cm from the lens.

18. Construct a ray diagram having a concave lens of 5cm focal length with an object placed 8cm from the lens.

19. A real image is always ____________; a virtual image is always ________________. 20. A concave lens can only produce ___________, _______________ and _____________ image. 21. Write down the lens formula.

22. The focal length of a convex lens is ______________; the focal length of a concave lens is _______________. 23. Explain magnifying power and write out the formula.

24. The focal length of a convex lens is 40cm. An object 5cm high is placed 30cm in front of the convex lens. Calculate its image distance, magnifying power and image height.

25. The focal length of a concave lens in 5cm. If an object is placed 8cm from the screen, where is the image?

26. An object of 6cm tall is placed 10cm in front of a diverging lens of 15cm focal length. Find the image distance and the height of the image produced. Is the image real or virtual?

27. An object placed 20cm in front of a lens produces a real image 5cm away from the lens. Find the focal length of the lens. What type of lens is it?

28. The series of coloured patches is called a _____________. 29. List down the order of the colours of spectrum.

30. _______________ of light shows that white light is not a single-coloured light but is made up of several light colours. 31. In the dispersion of white light, _______________ is deviated the least; _______________ light is deviated the most.

32. The separation of light into its different colour components is known as _____________. 33. The colour of a ______________ object is determined by the colour of light which it transmits when illuminated by white light. 34. The colour of an _______________ object is determined by the colour of the light reflected by it. 35. ______________ objects absorb all colours of light; _______________ reflects all colours of light.
