Very Short Answer Questions Short Answer Questions

Question 1.
What is yellow spot?
Answer:
It is highly light sensitive spot for seeing things with highest clearness.
Question 2.
How do we calculate the number of images formed by a pair of plane mirrors ?
Answer:

1. n= (360/ ϴ) - 1 if 360 /ϴ is even


2. n= 360/ ϴ if it comes odds
1)if the angle is 50
Number of images=(360/50)-1=7.2

We take 7 as image will not be taken as fraction.

2)if the angle is 72


Number of images=(360/72)=5
(No -1 since it is odd)

Question 3.
