mirror. Also explain them diagrammatically.
Q9. When a ray of light passes or appears to pass through C why does it
retrace its path
ASSIGNMENT 10.2
Q1. Explain diagrammatically, the image formation with concave mirror in
the following cases:
(a) when object at infinity
(b) when object is away from C
(c) when object is at C
(d) when object is betweenCand F
(e) when object if at F
() when object is between F and P
Also write the characteristics (such as: nature, size and position) of the
image formed in all the above cases.
Q2. Explain diagrammatically, the image formation with convex mirror in the
following cases:
(a) when object is at infinity
(b) when object is in front of the mirror
Also write the characteristics (such as: nature, size and position) of the
image formed in all the above cases.
03. What are the uses of convex and concave mirror in daily life?
04. Why do we use convex mirror as rear view mirror in vehicles?
Q5. A dentist uses a concave mirror to examine the teeth of a patient. What
should he do to get an enlarged image? Explain?
ASSIGNMENT 10.3
Q1. What are the sign conventions in case of concave and convex mirror?
What are the results of the same?
Q2. An object is placed at a distance of 30cm from a concave mirror of focal
length 20 cm. Where will the image be formed? (Ans V = - 60cm)
Q3. A [Link] high object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis ofa
concave mirror. The distance of the object from the mirror is 30cm, and its
image is formed 60cm from the mirror, on the same side of the mirror as the
object. Find the height and focal length of the object formed.
(Ans height= -4cm and f= -20cm)
Q4. A 1.2cm long pin is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a
convex mirror of a focal length 12cm, ata distance of 8cm from it.
(a) Find the location of the image. (Ans 4.8cm)
(b) Find the height of the image. (Ans 0.72cm)
(c) Is the image erect or inverted? (Ans image is erect)
Q5. Sunlight is incident on concave mirror, parallel to its axis. The image is
formed at a distance of 12cm from the pole. Find the radius of curvature of
the mirror. (Ans -24cm)
Q6. An object is placed at a distance of 20cm from aconvex mirror of focal
length 25cm. Calculate the position of the image. Discuss its nature. (Ans
11cm, virtual,small)
Q7. A 2.0cm high object is placed at a distance of 20cm from a concave
mirror. A real image is formed at 40cm from the mirror. Calculate the focal
length of the mirror and the size of the image.
(Ans f= -13.3cm, size= -4.0cm)
Q8. Find the position and the nature of the image formed by a spherical
mirror from the following data.
|=-20cm f= -15cm h,- 1.0cm
(Ans concave, V=-60cm, h,=-[Link])
Q9. A 2cm high object is placed at a distance of 32 cm from a concave
mirror. The image is real, inverted and 3cm in size. Find the focal length of
the mirror and the position of the image. (Ans V= -48cm, f = -19.2cm)
Q10. A concave mirror forms an inverted image of an object placed at a
distance of 12cm from it. If the image is twice as large as the object, where
is it formed? (Ans -24cm)
Q11. A concave mirror forms an erect image of an object placed at a
distance of 10cm from it. The size of the image is double that of the object.
Where is the image formed? (Ans 20cm behind the mirror)
