d) both are convex.
4. The refractive index of medium A is1.5 and that of medium B is 1.33. If
the speed of light in air is 3 ×108 m/s. What is the speed of light in media
A and B respectively
a) 2 ×108 m/s and 1.33 ×108 m/s
b) 1.33 ×108 m/s and 2 ×108 m/s
c) 2.25 ×108 m/s and 2 ×108 m/s

5. When an object is placed beyond 2F of a convex lens the nature of the
image formed is
a) P
b) Q
c) R
d) S
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.
