‭ he‬ ‭linear‬ ‭magnification‬ ‭produced‬ ‭by‬ ‭a‬ ‭spherical‬ ‭mirror‬ ‭is‬ ‭-1.‬ ‭Analysing‬ ‭this‬
‭value‬ ‭state‬ ‭the‬ ‭(i)‬‭type‬‭of‬‭mirror‬‭and‬‭(ii)‬‭position‬‭of‬‭the‬‭object‬‭with‬‭respect‬‭to‬
‭the pole of the mirror. Draw any diagram to justify your answer‬
‭(i) Concave mirror‬
‭(ii)‬‭The‬‭magnitude‬‭of‬‭the‬‭magnification‬‭is‬‭1.‬‭So‬‭the‬‭object‬‭and‬‭image‬‭distance‬
‭are same. Thus the distance is same when object is placed at C.‬

‭ ame the type of mirror used in the following situations and support your‬
‭answer with a reason :‬
‭(a) Mirror used for solar furnace‬
‭(b) Mirror used by ENT doctors.‬
‭(c) Mirror used in the vehicles for viewing the traffic approaching from behind.‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭a)‬ ‭Concave mirror - In solar furnaces, concave mirrors are used for‬
‭converging the sun's rays‬
‭b)‬ ‭Concave mirror - When an object is placed between the principal focus‬
‭and the pole of the mirror, the image will be virtual, erect and magnified.‬
‭So ENT doctors can examine the parts easily.‬
 ‭c)‬ ‭Convex mirror - Convex mirrors are preferred because they always give‬
‭an erect, though diminished, image. Also, they have a wider field of view‬
‭as they are curved outwards. Thus, convex mirrors enable the driver to‬
‭view much larger area‬

‭which M is a mirror and P is an object‬
‭and Q is its magnified image formed by‬
‭the mirror. State the type of the mirror‬
‭M and one characteristic property of the image Q.‬
‭(b)‬‭What is the magnification of plane mirrors and why?‬
‭(c) Define pole of the mirror.‬
‭Ans.:‬
‭a)‬ ‭Concave mirror Image formed is virtual, erect, magnified and behind the‬
‭mirror.‬
‭b)‬ ‭m=+1. Since the size of the image formed by a plane mirror is equal to‬
‭the size of the object, its magnification is always 1.‬
‭c)‬ ‭The pole of a spherical mirror is‬‭the centre of the‬‭reflecting surface‬
‭of the spherical mirror‬
