What is the difference between converging lenses and diverging lenses?
A)Converging lenses have one or two concave surfaces; diverging lenses have one or two convex surfaces.
B)Converging lenses are thinner in the centre than on the edges; diverging lenses are thicker in the centre than on the edges.
C)Converging lenses cause parallel light rays to come together to a common point; diverging lenses cause parallel light rays to spread away from a common point.
D)Converging lenses only have one side; diverging lenses have two sides.
2
What is the difference between mirrors and lenses?
A)Mirrors are convex, and lenses are concave.
B)Mirrors are concave, and lenses are convex.
C)Mirrors can only be plane; lenses can be plane, concave, or convex.
D)Mirrors have only one side, while lenses have two.
3
When a parallel light ray passes through a flat piece of glass, the ray shifts to the side but continues to move in the same direction. What term is used to describe this type of movement?
A)lateral displacement
B)diverging displacement
C)converging displacement
D)horizontal displacement
4
What is a biconvex lens?
A)It is a lens with two sides that curve inward.
B)It is a lens with two sides that curve outward.
C)It is a lens with one side that is convex and one side that is plane.
D)It is a lens with two sides, but neither is convex.
5
What is a biconcave lens?
A)It is a lens with one side that is concave and one side that is plane.
B)It is a lens with two sides that curve outward.
C)It is a lens with two sides that curve inward.
D)It is a lens with one side that is concave and one side that is convex.
6
How does the effect of chromatic aberration on thin lenses compare to the effect on thick lenses?
A)Aberrations are not significant for thin lenses, but distort the image for thick lenses.
B)Aberrations are not as visible in thick lenses as they are in thin lenses.
C)Chromatic aberrations exist in thick and thin lenses, and the irregular images appear the same in both types of lenses.
D)Chromatic aberrations only exist in mirrors, so there is no effect on thick or thin lenses.
