Physics CLASS 10th

1. An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm in front of a convex mirror of focal length 15


cm. Write four characteristics of the image formed by the mirror.
2. An object is placed at a distance of 12 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of
curvature 30 cm. List four characteristics of the image formed by the mirror.
3. Name the type of mirrors used in the design of solar furnaces. Explain how high
temperature is achieved by this device.
4. Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an
incident ray of light parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror. Mark the angle of
incidence and angle of reflection on it.
5. If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of
it is always erect and diminished , what type of mirror is it? Draw a labelled ray diagram
to support your answer.
6. List two properties of the images formed by convex mirrors. Draw ray diagram in support
of your answer.
7. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyse this value and
state the (i) type of mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the
mirror. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case.
8. List two possible ways in which a concave mirror can produce a magnified image of an
object placed in front of it. State the difference if any between these two images.
9. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is -1. Analysing this value state
the (i) type of mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror.
Draw any diagram to justify your answer.
10. Draw ray diagrams for the following cases when a ray of light:
(i) passing through centre of curvature of a concave mirror is incident on it.
(ii) parallel to principal axis is incident on convex mirror.
(iii) is passing through focus of a concave mirror incident on it.
11. A concave mirror has a focal length of 20 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a
4 cm tall object be placed so that it forms an image at a distance of 30 cm from the
mirror? Also calculate the size of the image formed.
12. The image of a candle flame placed at a distance of 30 cm from a mirror is formed on a
screen placed in front of the mirror at a distance of 60 cm from its pole. What is the
nature of the mirror? Find its focal length. If the height of the flame is 2.4 cm, find the
height of its image. State whether the image formed is erect or inverted.
