Light — practice question

Fig. 6.1 presents, at full size, a diagram of a lens together with an image I of an object. The focal length of the lens is $3.0\,\text{cm}$.
(a(i))[1]

On Fig. 6.1, add two points labelled F to indicate where the principal focuses (focal points) of the lens are located.

(a(ii))[3]

On Fig. 6.1, draw two rays beginning at the image I in order to locate the object. Draw the object and label it O.

(a(iii))[1]

State one characteristic of the image formed when the object is in this position.

(b(i))[1]

On Fig. 6.2, sketch the path of the rays inside the eye to demonstrate the effect of long-sightedness.

(b(ii))[1]

A lens is being used to correct the long-sightedness. Draw a lens that is suitable for this correction.
