the () type of mirror and (i) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw
any diagram to justify your answer.
7. The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is -1/5. Analyzing this value state
the (0) type of spherical mirror and (0) the position of the object with respect to the pole of the
mirror. Draw ray diagram to justify your answer.
8 A concave mirror has a focal length of 20 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a
4 cm tall object be placed so that it forms an image at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror?
Also calculate the size of the image formed.

Screen placed in front of the mirror at a distance of 60 cm from its pole. What is the
nature of the mirror? Find its focal length. If the height of the flame is 2.4 cm, find the
heightof its image. State whether the image formed is erect or inverted.

same size. Find the focal length of the mirror.
12. Calculate the magnification of the image of an object placed perpendicular to the
cm
principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. The object is at a distance of 20
from the mirror.
13. An object 4.0 cm in size, is placed 25.0cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 15.0 cm.
(i) At what distance fromn the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image?
(iü) Find the size of the image.

from the mirror.
a) Write the type of the mirror. b) Find the distance of the image from the object.
c) What is the focal length of the mirror?
d) Draw the ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
