Original practice preview

These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.

Example 1 · difficulty 4/5

Light travels from glass of refractive index 1.5 into air through a spherical surface. A point object in glass is 60 cm from the pole, and the surface has radius R = −30 cm. What is the image distance in the Cartesian sign convention?

A. 120 cm in air
B. −120 cm, so the image is virtual in glass
C. −40 cm, so the image is virtual in glass
D. 40 cm in air

Example 2 · difficulty 4/5

A spherical refracting surface separates water of refractive index 4/3 on the incident side from glass of refractive index 3/2. The radius of curvature is +24 cm. Find the second focal length of the surface.

A. 72 cm
B. 108 cm
C. 144 cm
D. 216 cm

Example 3 · difficulty 1/5

A thin convex lens has focal length 15 cm. A real object is placed 30 cm in front of it. What is the image distance under the Cartesian sign convention?

A. +30 cm
B. +15 cm
C. −30 cm
D. +45 cm

Frequently asked questions

Are these official NEET 2024 Physics Ray Optics PYQs?

No. The previews are original NeetVellum practice questions. A historical item receives a PYQ label only after its official paper and authoritative final answer key are attached. Use the official archive for the source paper.

How should I use the NEET 2024 paper?

Solve the official paper under its original timing, verify against the final key, classify every miss, and then use the linked current-syllabus practice bank to repair the exposed concept.
