INSPIRE PHYSICS TUITION PRACTICE QUESTIONS

Ray Optics- Set 1

1. A convex mirror has a radius of curvature 20 cm. Find the position of the image of an
object placed at 12 cm from the mirror.
2. An object is placed 16 cm in front of a mirror. If the image is formed at 4 cm to the
right of the mirror, calculate its focal length. Is the mirror convex or concave? What is
the nature of the image? What is the radius of curvature of the mirror?
3. An object is placed at 16 cm from a convex mirror of a focal length of 20 cm. Locate
the position and nature of the image
4. An object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm at a
distance of 8.0 cm from the pole. Find the position and the nature of the image
5. An object of length 2.5 cm is placed at a distance of 1.5 f from a concave mirror
where f is the focal length of the mirror. The length of the object is perpendicular to
the principal axis. Find the length of the image.
6. A rod of length 10 cm lies along the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length
10 cm in such a way that the end closer to the pole is 20 cm away from it. Find the
length of the image.
7. A 5 cm long needle is placed 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 40 cm. Find
the position, nature, and size of the image of the needle. What happens to the size of
the image when the needle is moved farther away from the mirror?
8. A 4.5 cm needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm.
Give the location of the image and the magnification.
9. A 2 cm high object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a distance of
12 cm from the pole. If the image is inverted, real and 5.0 cm high, find the location
of the image and the focal length of the mirror.
10. At what distance from a convex mirror of focal length 2.5 m should a boy stand so
that his image has a height equal to half of the original height? The principal axis is
perpendicular to the height.
11. A dentist concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 30 cm. How far it must be
placed from a small cavity in order to get a virtual image magnified 5 times?
12. When an object is placed at 60 cm from a convex spherical mirror, the magnification
produced is ½. Where should the object be placed to get a magnification of 1/3?
13. A concave mirror having a radius of curvature 40 cm is placed in front of an
illuminated point source at a distance of 30 cm from it. Find the location of the
image.
14. A concave mirror forms an image of 20 cm high object on a screen placed 5 m away
from the mirror. The height of the image is 50 cm. Find the focal length of the mirror
and the distance between the mirror and the object?
15. A concave mirror has focal length of 20 cm. Find the position or positions of an object
for which the image size is double of the object size
16. A man uses a concave mirror for shaving. He keeps his face at a distance of 25 cm
from the mirror and gets an image which is 1.4 times enlarged. Find the focal length
of the mirror.
17. An object of 3 cm height is placed at a distance of 60 cm from a convex mirror of
focal length 30 cm. Find the nature , position and size of the image formed.
18. An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15
cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, the
displacement of the image will be (NEET 2018)
19. Can a plane mirror ever form a real image?
20. Can a virtual image be photographed by a camera?
21. When an object is placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror, would the image
formed be (i) real or virtual (ii) diminished or magnified? (2015)
22. Use the mirror equation to show that an object placed between f and 2f of a concave
mirror produces a real image beyond 2f (2015)
23. How will the position and intensity of the image be affected if the lower half of the
mirrors reflecting surface is painted black ? (2012)
24. Why are convex mirrors used as a side view mirrors in vehicles (2012)
25. Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation by a concave mirror, when the
object is kept between its focus and the pole. Using the diagram, derive the
magnification formula (2011)
26. Draw a ray diagram showing the formation of a real image of an object placed at a
distance of u in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature R. Hence Obtain the
relation for the image distance v in terms of u and R (2023)
27. Derive the mirror equation of convex mirror. Using it, show that a convex mirror
always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object (2020)
