CBSE Class 10 Science 2017 · Paper 531/2 · Question 14
Draw each of the following diagrams on your answer sheet and show the path of the ray after refraction.
Answer
Convex lens: parallel ray passes through , ray through emerges parallel; concave lens: parallel ray appears to come from .
(i) The ray, parallel to the principal axis, falls on a convex lens. After refraction it bends towards the axis and passes through the principal focus F on the other side of the lens ().
(ii) The ray passes through the principal focus F on the side of the incident light () and falls on a convex lens. After refraction it emerges parallel to the principal axis.
(iii) The ray, parallel to the principal axis, falls on a concave lens. After refraction it bends away from the axis, so that it appears to diverge from the principal focus F on the same side as the incident light (); this backward extension is drawn dashed.
(The three completed ray diagrams are shown.)
