The image shows the path of light as it travels from one medium to another.
$9$. Based on the refraction observed, which pair of media could represent Medium $1$ and Medium $2$?
Medium $1$ Medium $2$
$A$. Water Kerosene
$B$. Kerosene Diamond
$C$. Flint glass Water
$D$. Kerosene Flint glass

$10$. The power of a lens $(P)$ is calculated by the formula, $P = \frac{1}{f}$, where $f$ is the focal length of the lens in meters. A lens has a focal length of $-0.25 \ m$. Is it a convex lens or a concave lens? Explain your answer.

(N/A) $9$. $C$. In the image, the light ray bends away from the normal as it enters Medium $2$. This indicates that light is traveling from a denser medium to a rarer medium (refractive index of Medium $1$ > refractive index of Medium $2$). Among the options, the refractive index of flint glass $(n \approx 1.66)$ is greater than that of water $(n \approx 1.33)$.
$10$. Given: Focal length $(f)$ = $-0.25 \ m$.
Using the formula $P = \frac{1}{f}$, $P = \frac{1}{-0.25} = -4 \ D$.
A lens with a negative focal length is a concave lens. Concave lenses are diverging lenses and by sign convention, their focal length is always taken as negative.

$(a)$ To construct a ray diagram, we use two rays chosen such that their directions after reflection from the mirror are easily determined. List two such rays and state the path of these rays after reflection for a concave mirror. Use these two rays to draw a ray diagram to locate the image of an object placed between the pole and the focus of a concave mirror.
$(b)$ $A$ concave mirror produces a three-times magnified image on a screen. If the object is placed $20 \text{ cm}$ in front of the mirror, how far is the screen from the object?

"$A$ convex lens can form a magnified erect as well as magnified inverted image of an object placed in front of it." Draw ray diagrams to justify this statement, stating the position of the object with respect to the lens in each case. An object of height $4 \text{ cm}$ is placed at a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$ from a concave lens of focal length $10 \text{ cm}$. Use the lens formula to determine the position of the image formed.
