  1. Question 1

    The optical device which uses a convex lens to magnify an object by creating a virtual image:

    • Acamera
    • Bmicroscope
    • Cmagnifying glass
    • Dslide projector
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    A magnifying glass uses a convex lens with the object closer than the focal length to form a virtual, upright, magnified image.

  2. Question 2

    The optical device which works on the principle of inverting an image for projection is:

    • Amagnifying glass
    • Bphotograph Enlarger
    • Cslide projector
    • Dplane mirror
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Textbook key: in a slide projector the slide is placed upside down because the projection lens inverts the image.

  3. Question 3

    In a simple camera, the image formed on the film is:

    • Avirtual, erect and magnified
    • Breal, inverted and diminished
    • Creal, erect and enlarged
    • Dvirtual and inverted
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The object is beyond 2F, forming a real, inverted and smaller image on the film.

  4. Question 4

    In a simple camera, the lens-film distance is fixed and equal to the:

    • Afocal length of the lens
    • Btwice the focal length
    • Chalf the focal length
    • Dobject distance
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The textbook states the lens-film distance is fixed and equal to the focal length.

  5. Question 5

    In a slide projector, the slide is positioned:

    • Abeyond 2F
    • Bbetween the lens and F
    • Cbetween F and 2F
    • Dat infinity
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    The slide is between F and 2F to form a real, magnified and inverted image.
