NEW LIFE CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL

S.4 PHYSICS MID OF TERM I– 2019

NAME: ________________________________________________COMB________

Instructions:
 Attempt all questions
 Time allowed is 2 Hours
 Write all necessary formulae, and S.I units where necessary to avoid loss of marks.

1. A prism which has a refracting angle 600 and refractive index 1.5 receives a ray at an
angle of incidence 450.
a. What do you understand by refraction of light?
b. Calculate the angle of emergence.
c. Find the angle of deviation of the ray.

2. A glass prism of refracting angle 720 and index of refraction 1.66 is immersed in a liquid
of refractive index 1.33. What is the angle of minimum deviation for a parallel beam of
light passing through the prism?
1 1 1
3. Prove that for a convex (converging) lens, = 𝑣 + 𝑢 where f is the focal length, v is the
𝑓
image distance and u is the object distance from the lens.

4. An object is placed 40cm away from a diverging lens of focal length 20cm. If it is 5cm
high, determine graphically the position, size and nature of the image.

5. A lighted candle is placed 33cm in front of a converging lens of focal length f1 =15cm,
which in turn is 55cm in front of another converging lens of focal length f2 =12cm.
a. Draw a ray diagram and estimate the location and the relative size of the final image.
b. Calculate the position and relative size of the final image.

6. We put in contact a converging lens of focal length 20cm and a diverging lens of focal
length 50cm. What is the nature, the power and the focal length of the constituted lens?
