प्रश्न
List in proper sequence the steps of the experiment for determining the approximate focal length of a given concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant object.
उत्तर
(i) Fix the concave mirror on the stand and place it on table facing towards a distant object.
(ii) Arrange the screen on the table so that the image of the distant object is obtained on it.
(iii) Measure the distance between the mirror and the screen using a metre scale. This distance is the focal length (F) of the mirror.

With the help of a labelled diagram, explain why a tank full of water appears less deep than it actually is.
Name the phenomenon due to which a pencil partly immersed in water and held obliquely appears to be bent at the water surface.
The refractive index of four substances A, B, C, and D are 1.31, 1.43, 1.33, 2.4 respectively. The speed of light is maximum in
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
