Assertion: Diamond glitters brilliantly.
Reason: Diamond does not absorb sunlight.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because diamond glitters due to total internal reflection, not just because it doesn't absorb sunlight.

A student studying the similarities and differences between a camera and the human eye makes the following observations:

I. Both the eye and the camera have convex lenses.
II. In order to focus, the eye lens expands or contracts while the camera lens moves forward or backward.

III. The camera lens produces upside down real images while the eye lens produces only upright real images.

IV. A screen in camera is equivalent to the retina in the eyes.

V. A camera adjusts the amount of light entering in it by adjusting the aperture of the lens. In the eye, the cornea controls the amount of light.

Which of the above statements are correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statements I, II, IV and V are correct
Option C (Statements I, II, IV and V are correct) is correct because these statements accurately describe the similarities and differences between a camera and the human eye.

To increase the magnifying power of telescope (f0=({f_0} = focal length of the objective and fe={f_e} = focal length of the eye lens)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
f0{f_0} should be large and fe{f_e} should be small
Option A (f0{f_0} should be large and fe{f_e} should be small) is correct because the magnifying power of a telescope is the ratio of the objective's focal length to the eyepiece's focal length (M = fo/fe).

Assertion: If the angles of the base of the prism are equal, then in the position of minimum deviation, the refracted ray will pass parallel to the base of prism.

Reason: In the case of minimum deviation, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
The correct answer is A. Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Minimum deviation occurs when the angle of incidence equals the angle of emergence, leading to the refracted ray being parallel to the base for an isosceles prism.

If the lower half of a concave mirror’s reflecting surface is made opaque, which of the following statements describe the image of an object placed infront of the mirror

S1\mathrm{S1}: Intensity of the image will increase

S2\mathrm{S2}: The image will show only half of the object

S3\mathrm{S3}: No change in the image

S4\mathrm{S4}: Intensity of the image will be reduced to half
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
S4\mathrm{S4} only
Option D (S4 only) is correct because making the lower half opaque reduces the amount of light contributing to the image, thus reducing its intensity.

Assertion: The refractive index of a prism depends only on the kind of glass of which it is made of and the colour of light.

Reason: The refractive index of a prism depends upon the refracting angle of the prism and the angle of minimum deviation
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true but reason is false.
Option C is correct. The assertion is true because refractive index depends on the material and wavelength, but the reason is false as refractive index doesn't directly depend on the prism's refracting angle or minimum deviation angle.
