 Light: Reflection and Refraction Case Based Questions
Question 1:

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).

The spherical mirror forms different types of images when the object is placed at
different locations. When the image is formed on screen, the image is real and when
the image does not form on screen, the image is virtual. When the two reflected rays
meet actually, the image is real and when they appear to meet, the image is virtual.
A concave mirror always forms a real and inverted image for different positions of the
object. But if the object is placed between the focus and pole. the image formed is
virtual and erect.
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image. A concave mirror
is used as doctor’s head mirror to focus light on body parts like eyes, ears, nose etc.,
to be examined because it can form erect and magnified image of the object. The
convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in automobiles because it can form a small
and erect image of an object.

(i) When an object is placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror, the image
formed is
(a) larger than the object
(b) smaller than the object
(c) same size as that of the object
(d) highly enlarged.

Answer
(c) same size as that of the object.

(ii) No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The
mirror is likely to be
(a) plane
(b) concave
(c) convex
(d) either plane or convex.
Answer
(d) either plane or convex.

(iii) A child is standing in front of a magic mirror. She finds the image of her
head bigger, the middle portion of her body of the same size and that of the legs
smaller. The following is the order of combinations for the magic mirror from
the top.
(a) Plane, convex and concave
(b) Convex, concave and plane
(c) Concave, plane and convex
(d) Convex, plane and concave

Answer
(c) Concave, plane and convex

(iv) To get an image larger than the object, one can use
(a) convex mirror but not a concave mirror
(b) a concave mirror but not a convex mirror
(c) either a convex mirror or a concave mirror
(d) a plane mirror.

Answer
(d)

(v) A convex mirror has wider field of view because

(a) the image formed is much smaller than the object and large number of images
can be seen.
(b) the image formed is much closer to the mirror
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of these.
Answer
(c) both (a) and (b)
Question 2:
Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).
The lenses form different types of images when object placed at different
locations. When a ray is incident parallel to the principal axis, then after
refraction, it passes through the focus or appears to come from the focus.
When a ray goes through the optical centre of the lens, it passes without any
deviation. If the object is placed between focus and optical center of the convex
lens, erect and magnified image is formed.
As the object is brought closer to the convex lens from infinity to focus, the image
moves away from the convex lens from focus to infinity. Also the size of image
goes on increasing and the image is always real and inverted.
A concave lens always gives a virtual, erect and diminished image irrespective
to the position of the object.

(i) The location of image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at
infinity is
(a) at focus
(b) at 2F
(c) at optical center
(d) between Fand 2F.

Answer
(a)

(ii) When the object is placed at the focus of concave lens, the image formed is
(a) real and smaller
(b) virtual and inverted
(c) virtual and smaller
(d) real and erect.

Answer
(b)
(iii) The size of image formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at the
focus of convex lens is
(a) small
(b) point in size
(c) highly magnified
(d) same as that of object

Answer
(c)

(iv) When the object is placed at 2F in front of convex lens, the location of image
is
(a) at F
(b) at 2 F on the other side
(c) at infinity
(d) between F and optical center

Answer
(b)
•••
•

(v) At which location of object in front of concave lens, the image between focus
and optical centre is formed
(a) anywhere between centre and infinity
(b) at F
(c) at 2F
(d) infinity
