Question 1.

4.5 cm needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal


length 15 cm. Give the location of image and magnification. Describe
what happens to the image as the needle is moved farther from the
mirror.

Question 2.
Rohit placed a pencil perpendicular to principal axis in front of a
converging mirror of focal length 30 cm. The image formed is twice the
size of the pencil. Calculate the distance of the object from the mirror.

Question 3.
Define magnification produced by a spherical mirror in terms of height
of a object and image. How is it related to object and image distance?
Explain why magnification is positive for virtual image and negative for
real image?

Question 4.
An object is placed at a distance of 25 cm away from a converging
mirror of focal length 20 cm. Discus the effect on the nature and
position of the image if the position of the object changes from 25 cm
to 15 cm. Justify your answer without using mirror formula.

Question 5.
Write one similarity and one dissimilarity between image formed by
plane mirror and convex mirror.

Question 6.
If the image formed by mirror for all positions of the object placed in
front of it is always virtual and diminished, state the type of the mirror.
Draw a ray diagram in support of your answer. Where are such mirrors
commonly used and why?

Question 7.
It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave
mirror of focal length of 12 cm.
(i)What should be the range of distance of an object placed in front of
the mirror?
(ii)Will the image be smaller or larger than the object? Draw ray
diagram to show the formation of image in this case,.
(iii)Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed 6 cm in front of
the mirror? Draw ray diagram for this situation to justify your answer.
Show the position of pole, principal focus and the centre of curvature
in the ray diagram.

Question 8.
A student has three concave mirrors A, B and C of focal lengths 20 cm,
15 cm and 10 cm respectively. For each concave mirror he performs
the experiment of image formation for three values of object distance
of 30 cm, 10 cm and 20 cm.
Giving reason answer the following:
(a)For the three object distances, identify the mirror which will form an
image equal in size to that of object. Find at least one value of object
distance.
(b)Out of the three mirrors, identify the mirror which would be
preferred to be used for shaving purpose.
(c)For the mirror B, draw ray diagram for image formation for any two
given values of object distance.

Question 9.
An object is placed at infinity from a concave mirror of focal length 10
cm. Find the position and nature of image formed. Draw a ray diagram
to show the formation of image. (Not to scale)

Question 10.

The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is -1/5. Analysing this value
state the (i) type of spherical mirror and (ii) the position of the object with respect to the
pole of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to justify your answer.
