To determine focal length of a concave mirror a student obtains the image of a well-lit distant object on a screen. To determine the focal length of the given concave mirror he needs to measure the distance between:

  • mirror and the object

  • mirror and the screen

  • screen and the object

  • screen and the object

A student obtained a sharp image of the grills of a window on a screen using a concave mirror. His teacher remarked that for getting better results a well-lit distant object (preferably the sun) should be focused on the screen. What should be done for this purpose?

  • Move the screen slightly away from the mirror

  • Move the mirror slightly towards the screen

  • Move the screen and the mirror away from the object

  • Move the screen and the mirror away from the object

To determine the focal length of a convex lens by obtaining a sharp image of a distant object we generally follow the following steps which are not in proper sequence.

(a) Hold the lens between the object and the screen

(b) Measure the distance between the lens and the screen

(c) Select a well-lit distant object

(d) Place a screen opposite to the object on the lab table

(e) Adjust the position of the lens to form a sharp image

The correct sequence of these steps is:

  • c, a, d, e, b

  • c, d, a, e, b

  •  c, d, e, a, b

  •  c, d, e, a, b

Dry raisins were soaked in water for 2 hours, to determine the percentage of water absorbed by raisins. Before final weighing of swollen raisins, the extra water left on the surface of soaked raisins was removed by:

  • gently rubbing with cotton cloth

  • hot air blower

  •  dry cotton wool

  •  dry cotton wool

While performing the experiment with raisins to determine the percentage of water absorbed by them, a student made following measurements:

Mass of water in the beaker = 40 g

Mass of raisins before soaking = 5 g

Mass of raisins after soaking for 2 hours = 8 g

Mass of water left in the beaker after the experiment = 35 g

The percentage of water absorbed by raisins is:
  • begin inline style fraction numerator 40 straight g space minus space 35 straight g over denominator 35 straight g end fraction end style space cross times space 100
  • fraction numerator 40 straight g space minus space 35 straight g over denominator 40 straight g end fraction space cross times space 100
  • fraction numerator 8 straight g space minus space 5 straight g over denominator 8 straight g end fraction space cross times space 100
  • fraction numerator 8 straight g space minus space 5 straight g over denominator 8 straight g end fraction space cross times space 100

After observing the prepared slides of binary fission in amoeba and budding in yeast following observations were reported:

(a) Single cells of amoeba and yeast were undergoing binary fission and budding respectively.

(B) Cytokinesis was observed in the yeast cell.

(C) Elongated nucleus was dividing to form two daughter nuclei in amoeba.

(D) A chain of buds were observed due to reproduction in amoeba.

The correct observation(s) is/are:

  • a and c

  • b only

  • c and d

(a) Place the slide on the stage, look through the eye-piece and adjust the mirror to get proper illumination.

(b) Focus the slide sharp using fine adjustment screw

(c) Look through the eye-piece and raise the objective lens using coarse adjustment screw till the object is focused.

(d) Look through the eye-piece and move the slide till the object is visible.

  • d, c, b, a

  • a, b, d, c
