ASSERTION REASON WORKSHEET – OPTICS

NAME : -------------------------------------- ROLL NO:----------


Directions: In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is
given and a corresponding statement of Reason is given just below it. Of the
statements, given below, mark the correct answer as:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation
of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
1. Assertion(A) : The centre of curvature is not a part of the mirror. It lies
outside its reflecting surface.
Reason (R) : The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror forms a part of
a sphere. This sphere has a centre.
2. Assertion (A) : A ray passing through the centre of curvature of a
concave mirror after reflection, is reflected back along the same path.
Reason (R) : The incident rays fall on the mirror along the normal to
the reflecting surface.
3. Assertion (A) : Light does not travel in the same direction in all the
media.
Reason (R) : The speed of light does not change as it enters from one
transparent medium to another.
4. Assertion(A) : The emergent ray is parallel to the direction of the
incident ray.
Reason (R) : The extent of bending of the ray of light at the opposite
parallel faces (air- glass interface and glass-air interface) of the
rectangular glass slab is equal and opposite.
5. 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.
6. Assertion(A): The mirrors used in search lights are concave spherical.
Reason (R) : In concave spherical mirror the image formed is always
virtual.
7. Assertion(A) : Light travels faster in glass than in air.
Reason (R) : Glass is denser than air.
8. Assertion(A) : For observing traffic at back, the driver mirror is convex
mirror.
Reason (R) : A convex mirror has much larger field of view than a
plane mirror.
9. Assertion(A) : Mirror formula can be applied to a plane mirror.
Reason (R) : A plane mirror is a spherical mirror of infinite focal length.
10. Assertion(A) : It is not possible to see a virtual image by eye.
Reason (R): The rays that seem to emanate from a virtual image do
not in fact emanates from the image.
11. Assertion(A) : When the object moves with a velocity 2 m/s, its
image in the plane mirror moves with a velocity of 4 m/s.
Reason (R) : The image formed by a plane mirror is as far behind the
mirror as the object is in front of it.
12. Assertion(A) : The height of an object is always considered
positive.
Reason (R) : An object is always placed above the principal axis in this
upward direction.
13. Assertion(A) : Concave mirrors are used as make-up mirrors.
Reason (R) : When the face is held within the focus of a concave
mirror, then a diminished image of the face is seen in the concave
mirror.
14. Assertion(A) : Refractive index has no units.
Reason (R) : The refractive index is a ratio of two similar quantities.
15. Assertion(A) : The formula connecting u, v and f for a spherical
mirror is valid in all situations for all spherical mirrors for all positions
of the object.
Reason (R) : Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces.
16. Assertion(A): A person cannot see his image in a concave mirror,
unless, he is standing beyond the center of curvature of the mirror.
Reason (R) : In a concave mirror, image formed is real provided the
object is situated beyond its focus.
17. Assertion(A): Virtual images are always erect.
Reason (R) : Virtual images are formed by diverging lenses only.
18. Assertion(A): A normal human eye can clearly see all the objects
beyond certain minimum distance.
Reason (R) : The human eye has capacity of adjusting the focal length
of eye lens.
