1. Study the following statement.

The spectacles of old people have shorter focal length than those of a student who is long-sighted.This is because the lenses in their spectacles have a different thickness.

(a) Suggest one hypothesis to investigate the above statement. Hypothesis : The thicker a lens,the shorter its focal length.

(b) i. Aim : To estimate the focal length of a convex lens and relate it to the thickness of the lens.

ii. Variable that : - Constant : Object distance - Manipulated : Thickness of the lens - Respond : Focal length

iii. List of apparatus and materials : Metre ruler,screen,convex lenses with vary thickness,lens holder.

iv. Procedure : - The arrangement of apparatus is set up as shown in the diagram below,facing an object outside the window. - The screen is adjusted until a sharp image is formed on it. - The focal length is measured with a metre ruler. - The experiment is repeated using lenses of different thickness.

11. (a) Contrast the mechanism of focusing and the mechanism of controlling the amount of light entering the human eye and the camera. Mechanism of focusing : - Eye : Focussing is done when thickness of the lens is regulated by the ciliary body. - Camera : Focussing is done by regulating the distance between the lens and the film. Mechanism of controlling the amount of light : - Eye : The amount of light entering the eyes is controlled by the iris. - Camera : The amount of light entering the camera is controlled by the diaphragm.

(b) Diagram 12 shows the colours that appear in the screen when white light is passed through the coloured filters.

i. Identify the problem : - A red filter only allows green light to pass through it. - A green filter only allows green light to pass through it.

ii. Identify two common characteristics : - Red and green coloured filters only allow their own colours to pass through them. - Other colours are absorbed by red and green coloured filters.

iii. Initial concept : Red and green coloured filters only allow their own colours to pass through them but absorb other colours showing that they are primary colours.

v. Actual concept : Primary filters only allow their own colours to pass through them but absorbed other colours.
