ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS


11. Assertion(A): A ray of light travelling from a rarer medium to a
denser medium slows down and bends away from the normal. When it
travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it speeds up and bends
towards the normal.
Reason (R): The speed of light is higher in a rarer medium than a denser
medium.

12. Assertion(A): A concave lens very short focal length causes higher
divergence than one with longer focal length.
Reason (R) : The power of lenses directly proportional to its focal
length

13. Assertion(A): if the rays are diverging after emerging from a lens the
lens must be concave.
Reason (R) : A convex lens can give diverging rays.

OR
c) The absolute refractive indices of two media A and B are 2 and 1.5 respectively. If the
speed of light in medium B is 2x10 8m/s. Calculate the speed of light in
(a) vacuum (b) medium A.
