Assignment class - 10th


1. A 10 mm long awl pin is placed vertically in front of a concave mirror. A 5 mm long image
of
the awl pin is formed at 30 cm in front of the mirror. The focal length of this mirror is
(a) – 30 cm
(b) – 20 cm
(c) – 40 cm
(d) – 60 cm
2. Under which of the following conditions a concave mirror can form an image larger than
the
actual object?
(a) When the object is kept at a distance equal to its radius of curvature
(b) When an object is kept at a distance less than its focal length
(c) When an object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature
(d) When an object is
kept at a distance greater than its radius of curvature
3. Magnification produced by a rear-view mirror fitted in vehicles
(a) is less than one
(b) is more than one
(c) is equal to one
(d) can be more than or less than one depending upon the position of the object in front of it
4. Rays from Sun converge at a point 15 cm in front of a concave mirror. Where should an
object be placed so that size of its image is equal to the size of the object?
(a) 15 cm in front of the mirror
(b) 30 cm in front of the mirror
(c) between 15 cm and 30 cm in front of the mirror
(d) more than 30 cm in front of the mirror
5. A full-length image of a distant tall building can definitely be seen by using
(a) a concave mirror
(b) a convex mirror
(c) a plane mirror
(d) both concave as well as plane mirror
6. In torches, searchlights and headlights of vehicles the bulb is placed

(a) plane mirror only
(b) concave mirror only

middle portion of her body of the same size and that of the legs smaller. The following is the
order of combinations for the magic mirror from the top.

9. Under what condition in an arrangement of two plane mirrors, incident ray and reflected
ray
will always be parallel to each other, whatever may be the angle of incidence. Show the
same
with the help of a diagram.
10. Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave mirror when an object is
placed
(a) between pole and focus of the mirror
(b) at focus
(c) between focus and centre of curvature of the mirror
(d) at the centre of curvature of the mirror
(e) a little beyond the centre of curvature of the mirror
(f) at infinity
11. Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a convex mirror when an object is
placed
(a) at infinity
(b) at a finite distance from the mirror
12. Size of the image of an object by a mirror having a focal length of 20 cm is observed to
be
reduced to 1/3rd of its size. At what distance the object has been placed from the mirror?
What
is the nature of the image and the mirror?
13. An arrow 2.5 cm high is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a diverging mirror of focal
length of 20 cm. Find the nature, position and size of the image formed.
14. A diverging mirror of radius of curvature 40 cm forms an image which is half the height of
the object. Find the object and image position.
15. Suppose you want to observe an erect image of a candle flame using a concave mirror
of
focal length 20 cm. State the range of distance of the candle flame from the mirror. List two
other characteristics of the observed image. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of
image in this case.
16.The diagram shows a dish antenna which is used to receive television signals from a
satellite. The antenna (Signal detector) is fixed in front of the curved dish.

(b) Should it be concave or convex?
(c ) Where should the antenna be positioned to receive the strongest possible signals?

front of it, (b) behind the mirror. Find the focal length of the mirror and the kind of
mirror in each case.
18. A man holds a spherical shaving mirror of radius of curvature 60cm and focal
length 30cm, at a distance of 15cm from his nose. Find the position of image, and
calculate the magnification.
