Questions on Plane Mirror
1. What is the magnification of the images formed by the plane mirror ?
2. Can a plane mirror form a real image ?
3. If a ray falls normally on a plane mirror, what is the angle of incidence?
4. What is the focal length of a plane mirror?
5. If a man stands 1m away from the plane mirror, what is the distance of the man from
his image?
6. There is a point object and a plane mirror. If a mirror is moved by 10cm away from
the object then the image will move by how much distance ?
7. When one light ray is reflected from a plane mirror with 30∘angle of reflection, the
angle of deviation of the ray after reflection ?
8. If keeping the incidence ray fixed, the mirror rotates by an angle θ
the reflected light will deviated from its original path by which angle ?
9. A mirror is placed at an angle of 300 with respect to the y-axis (see figure). A light ray
travelling in the negative y direction strikes the mirror. The direction of the reflected ray
at which angle from normal ?
10. Raj is standing in front of a plane mirror. The distance between Raj and his image
is 100cm. If the distance between the mirror and image is x. What could be the
possible value of x ?
