1.

What type of lens converges light rays to a single point?

a)

Convex lens

b)

Concave lens

c)

Flat lens

d)

Diverging lens

2.

Explain the difference between convex and concave lenses.

a)

Convex lenses converge light rays, while concave lenses diverge light rays.

b)

Convex lenses have a concave shape

c)

Concave lenses converge light rays

d)

Convex lenses diverge light rays

3.

How does a convex lens bend light rays?

a)

Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays to converge.

b)

Convex lenses have no effect on light rays.

c)

Convex lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge.

d)

Convex lenses absorb light rays instead of bending them.

4.

What is the focal length of a lens?

a)

The focal length of a lens is the color intensity of the image produced.

b)

The focal length of a lens is the number of blades in the aperture.

c)

The focal length of a lens is the size of the lens cap.

d)

The focal length of a lens is the distance between the lens and the image sensor when the subject is in focus.

5.

Describe how a concave lens diverges light rays.

a)

A concave lens diverges light rays by refracting them away from the principal axis.

b)

A concave lens converges light rays towards the principal axis.

c)

A concave lens reflects light rays.

d)

A concave lens absorbs light rays.

6.

What is the purpose of a lens in a magnifying glass?

a)

To block light rays

b)

To converge light rays

c)

To absorb light rays

d)

To disperse light rays

7.

What happens to light rays when they pass through a convex lens?

a)

They converge at a focal point.

b)

They disappear completely.

c)

They diverge at a focal point.

d)

They split into multiple beams.

8.

How does the shape of a lens affect its ability to refract light?

a)

The shape of a lens has no impact on its ability to refract light

b)

A lens with a concave shape refracts light better than a convex lens

c)

A lens with a triangular shape refracts light differently than a circular lens

d)

The shape of a lens determines how light rays converge or diverge, affecting properties such as focal length and magnification.

9.

Explain how lenses are used in cameras.

a)

Lenses in cameras focus light onto the sensor, control light intake, and enable adjustments in focal length, aperture, and depth of field.

b)

Lenses in cameras are used to play music

c)

Lenses in cameras are used to store extra batteries

d)

Lenses in cameras are used to make phone calls

10.

What is the relationship between the curvature of a lens and its focal length?

a)

The curvature of a lens and its focal length are directly proportional.

b)

The curvature of a lens and its focal length are inversely proportional.

c)

The curvature of a lens has no effect on its focal length.

d)

The curvature of a lens and its focal length are unrelated.

11.
