Practice Questions

1. The document contains 31 questions about lenses, their properties, and image formation using lenses. The questions cover topics like types of lenses, ray diagrams, focal length, real and virtual images, magnification, and applications of lenses. 2. It asks the reader to define optical terms, draw and label ray diagrams, determine image characteristics based on object position, and describe applications of different lens types like convex, concave, and their use in devices. 3. The questions range from short answers to drawing and labeling diagrams to explain image formation using lenses. The goal is to test the reader's understanding of lens properties, ray optics, and image characteristics.
