CHAPTER – 9

LIGHT – REFLECTION AND REFRACTION

Problems on reflection using convex and concave mirrors

1. An erect image 3 times the size of the object is obtained with a concave mirror of radius
of curvature 36cm. What is the position of the object?

2. A 2.5cm candle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 30cm. Give
the location of the image and the magnification.

3. An object is placed in front of a concave mirror of focal length 20cm. The image formed
is 3 times the size of the object. Calculate two possible distances of the object from the
mirror.

4. The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, erect and smaller in size. Illustrate with
figure.

5. A concave mirror produces a real image 10mm tall, of an object 2.5mm tall placed at
5cm from the mirror. Calculate focal length of the mirror and the position of the Image.

6. An object is placed at a large distance in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature


40cm. How far is the image behind the mirror?

7. An object is placed 15cm from a convex mirror of radius of curvature 90cm. Calculate
position of the image and its magnification.

8. The image formed by a convex mirror of focal length 30cm is a quarter of the object.
What is the distance of the object from the mirror?

9. When an object is placed at a distance of 60cm from a convex mirror, the magnification
produced is ½. Where should the object be place to get a magnification of 1/3?

10. An object is placed 18cm front of a mirror. If the image is formed at 4cm to the right of
the mirror. Calculate its focal length. Is the mirror convex or concave? What is the nature of
the image? What is the radius of curvature of the mirror?
