Section B: Very Short Answer
11. State the second law of reflection.
12. What is the nature of image formed by two plane mirrors
inclined at an angle?
13. How many images are formed when mirrors are at 120°?
14. What happens to the image when the mirror is moved closer
to the object?
Section C: Short Answer
16. Show with reasoning why a person can see full image even if
mirror is smaller than their height.
17. Explain with a diagram how rotation of a plane mirror affects
the reflected ray.
18. Draw and explain a labelled ray diagram showing image
formation in a plane mirror.
Section D: Case-Based Question
Riya is standing in front of a large plane mirror fixed on a wall in her room.
She observes that when she raises her right hand, the image in the mirror
appears to raise its left hand. She also notices that the size of her image is
exactly the same as her actual size, regardless of how far or near she
stands from the mirror. Curious about this behavior, she starts exploring
the properties of image formation in plane mirrors.
Answer the following MCQs based on the above case:
19. The phenomenon where the right side appears as the left in
the mirror is called:
a) Reflection b) Refraction
c) Lateral inversion d) Dispersion
20. The nature of the image formed by a plane mirror is:
a) Real and inverted b) Virtual and erect
c) Real and erect d) Virtual and inverted
21. If Riya stands 2 meters away from the mirror, the distance
between her and her image will be:
a) 1 m b) 2 m
c) 3 m d) 4 m

the object is:
a) Larger b) Smaller
c) Same d) Depends on distance
