Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the formation of a rainbow.


When a beam of white light enters a prism, it gets refracted and splits into its seven constituent colours. This splitting of the light ray occurs because of the different angles of bending for each colour. Hence, each colour while passing through the prism bends at different angles with respect to the incident beam. This gives rise to the formation of the colour spectrum.

A student places a candle flame at a distance of about 60 cm from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm and focuses the image of the flame on a screen. After that, he gradually moves the flame towards the lens and each time focuses the image on the screen.

(a) In which direction-toward or away from the lens, does he move the screen to focus the image?
(b) How does the size of the image change?
(c) How does the intensity of the image change as the flame moves towards the lens?
(d) Approximately for what distance between the flame and the lens, the image formed on the screen is inverted and of the same size?

Analyse the following observation table showing a variation of image distance (v) with object distance (u) in the case of a convex lens and answer the questions that follow, without doing any calculations:

S. No.

Object distance
u (cm)

Image distance
v (cm)

1 -90 +18
2 -60 +20
3 -30 +30
4 -20 +60
5 -18 90
6 -10 100

(a) What is the focal length of the convex lens ? Give reason in support of your answer.
(b) Write the serial number of that observation which is not correct.How did you arrive at this conclusion?
(c) Take an appropriate scale to draw a ray diagram for the observation at S. No. 4 and find the approximate value of magnification.

To construct a ray diagram we use two rays which are so chosen that it is easy to know their directions after reflection from the mirror. List two such rays and state the path of these rays after reflection in case of concave mirrors. Use these two rays and draw ray diagram to locate the image of an object placed between pole and focus of a concave mirror.
