About This Quiz

What Do You Know About Thin Converging Lens? Thin lenses can be diverging or converging. The converging lenses are thicker in the middle than near the edges and as two focal points, located on the optical axis, a distance 'f' from the center of the lens on either side of the lens. Take up this test and get to see how much you know.

  • 2. 

    The principal focus is also known as the ____________.

    Explanation
    The principal focus is also known as the focal point. The focal point refers to the point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge from after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. It is an important concept in optics and is used to determine the position and characteristics of images formed by lenses and mirrors.

    When an object is placed a distance of less than f from a thin converging lens, an image is formed behind the object. What is a common device that makes use of this? 

    • Camera

    • Magnifying glass

    • Photocopier

    • Spotlight

    Correct Answer
    A. Magnifying glass
    Explanation
    A magnifying glass is a common device that makes use of the phenomenon described in the question. When an object is placed closer to a converging lens than its focal length (f), the lens produces a virtual, magnified image of the object. This is exactly how a magnifying glass works - it uses a converging lens to create a magnified virtual image of an object, allowing us to see it more clearly and in greater detail.

  • 4. 

    When an object is placed exactly 2f away from a thin converging lens, the image formed is 

    • Real, inverted, same size as object

    • Real, inverted, magnified

    • Virtual, upright, diminished

    • Virtual, upright, magnified

    Correct Answer
    A. Real, inverted, same size as object
    Explanation
    When an object is placed exactly 2f away from a thin converging lens, the image formed is real, inverted, and the same size as the object. This is because the object is placed at the focus point of the lens, causing the rays of light to converge and form an image on the other side of the lens. The image is real because it can be projected onto a screen, inverted because it is upside down compared to the object, and the same size as the object because the distance between the lens and the object is equal to the focal length.

    ____________ is the horizontal line which passes symmetrically through the optical centre.

    Correct Answer
    Principal axis
    principal axis
    Explanation
    This is the definition of principal axis.

    Correct Answer
    converging, diverging
    Converging, Diverging
    diverging, converging
    Diverging, Converging
    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    When light rays passes through the optical centre of a lens, they will 

    • Be refracted

    • Be dispersed

    • Pass through at an angle

    • Pass through undeviated

    Correct Answer
    A. Pass through undeviated
    Explanation
    Optical center is the point in the lens that all rays will pass through undeviated.
