ASSERTION-REASON TYPE QUESTIONS

Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these questions selecting
the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Q.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.
Answer(a)

Q.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.
Answer(a)

Q.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.
Answer(c)

Q.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.
Answer(a)

Q.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.
Answer(d)
Q.6. Assertion(A): The mirrors used in search lights are concave spherical.
Reason (R) : In concave spherical mirror the image formed is always virtual.
Answer(c)
Q.7. Assertion(A) : Light travels faster in glass than in air.
Reason (R) : Glass is denser than air.
Answer(d)

Q.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.
Answer(a)

Q.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.
Answer(a)

Q.10. 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.
Answer(a)

NUMERICALS

diagram. If arc AB = 12 arc CD, what is the ratio of their focal lengths? State which of the two mirrors will
always form virtual image of an object placed in front of it and why?

Q2.The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyse this value and state the (i) type of
mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw a ray diagram to show the
formation of image in this case.

Q3.A spherical mirror produces an image of magnification -1 on a screen placed at a distance of 50 cm from the
mirror.
(a) Write the type of mirror.
(b) Find the distance of the image from the object.
(c) What is the focal length of the mirror?
(d) Draw the ray diagram to show the image formation in this case

Q4.A student wants to project the image of a candle flame on a screen 48 cm in front of a mirror by keeping the
flame at a distance of 12 cm from its pole.
(a) Suggest the type of mirror he should use.
(b) Find the linear magnification of the image produced.

(a) Current through each resistor
(b) Total current in the circuit
(c) Total effective resistance of the circuit.
Case based Question:
Ohm’s law, description of the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance. The amount of steady
current through a large number of materials is directly proportional to the potential difference, or voltage, across
the materials. Thus, if the voltage V (in units of volts) between two ends of a wire made from one of these
materials is tripled, the current I (amperes) also triples; and the quotient V/I remains constant. The
quotient V/I for a given piece of material is called its resistance, R, measured in units named ohms. The
resistance of materials for which Ohm’s law is valid does not change over enormous ranges of voltage and
current. Ohm’s law may be expressed mathematically as V/I = R. That the resistance, or the ratio of voltage to
current, for all or part of an electric circuit at a fixed temperature is generally constant had been established by
1827 as a result of the investigations of the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.

(a) A child has drawn the electric circuit to study Ohm’s law as shown in Figure 12.6. His teacher told that
the circuit diagram needs correction. Study the circuit diagram and redraw it after making all corrections.

(b) Find the resistance between points A and B in the circuit diagram given below:

(c) Draw the nature of V – I graph for a nichrome wire. (V – Potential difference, I – Current)

Q13. Ernst Renan, ‘What is a Nation?’

In a lecture delivered at the University of Sorbonne in 1882, the French philosopher Ernst
Renan (1823-92) outlined his understanding of what makes a nation. The lecture was
subsequently published as a famous essay entitled ‘Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?’ (‘What is a
Nation?’). In this essay Renan criticises the notion suggested by others that a nation is formed
by a common language, race, religion, or territory: ‘A nation is the culmination of a long past of endeavours,
sacrifice and devotion. A heroic past, great men, glory, that is the social capital upon which one bases a national
idea. To have common glories in the past, to have a common will in the present, to have performed great deeds
together, to wish to perform still more, these are the essential conditions of being a people. A nation is therefore
a large-scale solidarity ... Its existence is a daily plebiscite... A province is its inhabitants; if anyone has the right
to be consulted, it is the inhabitant. A nation never has any real interest in annexing or holding on to a country
against its will. The existence of nations is a good thing, a necessity even. Their existence is a guarantee of
liberty, which would be lost if the world had only one law and only one master.’

13.1What does a nation guarantee to its citizens?

13.2What is/are the essential condition/s of being a people?
13.3A nation is the culmination of a long past of___________
Q14. Economists began to think in terms of the national economy. They talked of how the
nation could develop and what economic measures could help forge this nation
together. Friedrich List, Professor of Economics at the University of Tübingen in
Germany, wrote in 1834: ‘The aim of the zollverein is to bind the Germans economically
into a nation. It will strengthen the nation materially as much by protecting its interests
externally as by stimulating its internal productivity. It ought to awaken and raise
national sentiment through a fusion of individual and provincial interests. The German
people have realised that a free economic system is the only means to engender
national feeling.’
