3.
State the direction of incident ray which after reflection from a spherical mirror retraces its path. Give reason for your answer.
4.
Pick out the concave and convex mirrors from the following and tabulate them Rear-view mirror, Dentist’s mirror, Torch-light mirror, Mirrors in shopping malls, Make-up mirror.
5.
a) Complete the diagram to show how a concave mirror forms the image of the object.
b) What is the nature of the image?
6.
An object 2 cm high is placed at a distance of 16 cm from a concave mirror which produces a real image 3 cm high. Find the position of the image.
7.
Copy this figure in your answer book and show the direction of the light ray after reflection
8.
If an object is placed at the focus of a concave mirror, where is the image formed?
9.
Name the mirror(s) that can give (i) an erect and enlarged image, (ii) same sized, inverted image
10.
A coin in a glass beaker appears to rise as the beaker is slowly filled with water, why?
11.
Give two examples of transparent medium that are denser than air
12.
The speed of light in air is 3 \(\times\) 108ms-1 and in glass it is 2 \(\times\) 108ms-1 what is the refractive index of glass
13.
The speed of light is maximum in
vacuum
glass
diamond
graphite
14.
The focal length of a concave mirror is 5cm. Its radius of curvature is
5 cm
10 cm
2.5 cm
15.
When the reflecting surface is curved outwards the mirror formed will be
concave mirror
convex mirror
plane mirror
spherical mirror
16.
A ray of light passes from one medium to another medium. Refraction takes place when angle of incidence is
0o
45o
90o
120o
17.
The field of view is maximum for ________
plane mirror
concave mirror
convex mirror
18.
All distances parallel to the principal axis are measured from the ____________ of the mirror
19.
Large _________ mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar furnaces
20.
A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called ___________ mirror
21.
The angle of deviation of light ray in a prism depends on the angle of _________
22.
The mirror used in search light is ________ .
23.
Explain with diagrams how refraction of incident light takes place from
a) rarer to denser medium
b) denser to rarer medium
c) normal to the surface separating the two media.
24.
a) Draw ray diagrams to show how the image is formed using a concave mirror, when the position of object is i) at C ii) between C and F iii) between F and P of the mirror.
b) Mention in the diagram the position and nature of image in each case.
1.
The spherical mirror equation is \(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\frac { 1 }{ { u } } +\frac { 1 }{ v } \)
u = distance of object.
v = distance of image.
f = focal length of spherical mirror.
2.
Magnification is defined as the ratio of the height of the image \(\left( { h }_{ i } \right) \) to the height of object \(\left( { h }_{ 0 } \right) \)
Magnification \(=\frac { { h }_{ i } }{ { h }_{ 0 } }\)
1. Real image is negative sign.
2. Virtual image is positive sign
3.
A ray of light going towards the centre of curvature is reflected back along the same path. It is a rule for construction of image formed by spherical mirrors.
4.
| Concave mirror | Convex mirror |
| 1. Dentist's mirror | Rear view mirror |
| 2. Torch light mirror, Make up mirror | Mirrors in shopping malls |
5.
(a)

b) Nature of the image is Real, inverted, magnified.
6.
Height of object h1 = 2 cm
Height of real image h2 = -3 cm
Magnification m =\(\frac { { h }_{ 2 } }{ { h }_{ 1 } } \)
= \(\frac { -3 }{ 2 } \)
= -1.5
We know that, m = \(\frac { -v }{ u } \)
here, object distance u = - 16 cm
Substituting the value, we get
-1.5 = - \(\frac { v }{ (-16) } \)
-1.5 = \(\frac { v }{ (-16) } \)
v = 16 \(\times\) -1.5
v = -24 cm
The position of image is 24 cm in front of the mirror (negative sign indicates that the image is on the left side of the mirror).
7.

A ray passing through the principal focus of a concave mirror after reflection will emerge parallel to the principal axis.
8.
At infinity.
9.
1. Concave mirror
2. Concave mirror.
10.
Due to refraction.
11.
Water, glass.
12.
\(_{ a }{ { \mu }_{ g } }=\frac { 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ 8 } } =\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \) = 1.5
