A. MCQ: 1×8=8
1. When an object is kept within the focus of a concave mirror, an enlarged image is formed behind the mirror. This
image is
(a) real (b) inverted (c) virtual and inverted (d) virtual and erect
2. If an object is placed symmetrically between two plane mirrors, inclined at an angle of 72 degrees, then the total no.
of images formed is:
(b) The reflected light is less bright than the incident light.
O
(c) The sum of the angle of incidence and reflection is always greater than 90 .
(d) The beams of the incident light, after reflection, diverge at unequal angles.
4. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm in front of a concave mirror of a focal length of 20 cm. The image
produced is:
(c) real, inverted and of the opposite size as that of the object
(d) real, inverted and of the same size as that of the object.
5. An image of an object produced on a screen which is about 36 cm using a convex lens. The image produced is
about 3 times the size of the object. What is the size of the object?
6. A student conducts an activity using a concave mirror with a focal length of 10 cm. He placed the object 15 cm
from the mirror. Where is the image likely to form?
7. The refractive index of water is 1.33 and kerosene is 1.44. Calculate refractive index of the kerosene with respect
to water.
1. Assertion(A): For observing traffic at back, the driver mirror is convex mirror.
Reason (R): A convex mirror has much larger field of view than a plane mirror.
Reason (R): When the face is held within the focus of a concave mirror, then a diminished image of the face is seen in
the concave mirror.
3. Assertion (A) : Light does not travel in the same direction in all the media.
Reason (R) : The speed of light does not change as it enters from one transparent medium to another.
1. 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.
2. A spherical mirror produces an image of magnification -1 on a screen placed at a distance of 50 cm from the
mirror.
1. If the speed of light in water is 2.25X10⁸m/s and the speed in glass is 2X10⁸ m/s . Calculate the relative refractive
index of water. Which mirror has maximum focal length? 2+1
2. An object 5 cm in length is held 25 cm away from a converging lens of focal length 10 cm. Draw the ray diagram
and find the position, size and the nature of the image formed. 1+2
Light is a form of energy which induces sensation of vision to our eyes. It becomes visible when it bounces off on
surfaces and hits our eyes. The phenomenon of bouncing back of light rays in the same medium on striking a smooth
surface is called reflection of light. If parallel beam of incident rays remains parallel even after reflection and goes
only in one direction is known as regular reflection. It takes place mostly in plane mirrors or highly polished metal
surfaces. The mirror outside the driver side of a vehicle is usually a spherical mirror and printed on such a mirror is
usually the warning "vehicles in this mirror are closer than they appear."
(i) Which type of mirror is used outside the driver's side of a vehicle?
(a) Plane mirror (b) Concave mirror(c) Convex mirror (d) Magic mirror
(ii) No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror can be
