Reflection Ws1

The document covers the topic of light reflection and refraction, specifically focusing on the definitions of key terms related to reflection, characteristics of images formed by mirrors, and the types of mirrors used in various applications. It includes questions about lateral inversion, the behavior of concave and convex mirrors, and the conditions for image formation. Additionally, it discusses ray diagrams and the relationship between object distance, image distance, and focal length.

(b) It forms both highly enlarged and highly diminished images
(c) When the object is placed at the center of curvature, the image is real, inverted and
positioned at C only.
(d) Image formed is always virtual and erect.

(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

smaller, the middle portion of his body the same size and the legs bigger. The
following is the order of combinations for the special mirror from the top

always virtual and diminished, state the type of the mirror. Draw any ray diagram in
support of your answer.
13. What is the minimum number of rays required for locating the image formed by a
