The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of:

1. a) Reflection

b) Refraction

c) Dispersion

d) Diffraction

2. If an object is placed at the focus of a concave mirror, the image will be

formed at:

a) Infinity

b) The center of curvature

c) Between focus and mirror

d) Behind the mirror

3. Which of the following is true for the image formed by a plane mirror?

a) Real and erect

b) Virtual and inverted

c) Real and inverted

d) Virtual and erect

4. For a convex mirror, the image formed is always:

a) Real, inverted, and diminished

b) Virtual, erect, and diminished

c) Real, erect, and magnified

d) Virtual, inverted, and enlarged

5. The focal length of a concave mirror is 20 cm. Its radius of curvature is:
a) 10 cm

b) 20 cm

c) 40 cm

d) 30 cm

Section B: Short Answer Questions

1. Define the laws of reflection.

Explain the two laws of reflection with the help of a labeled diagram.

2. What is the principal focus of a concave mirror?

Describe the terms focus, center of curvature, and pole in relation to a concave
mirror.

3. Differentiate between real and virtual images.

Give examples of real and virtual images formed by mirrors.

4. State the uses of concave and convex [Link] two practical applications
of concave mirrors and convex mirrors.

5. How does the size of an image change as an object moves from infinity

towards a concave mirror?

Section C: Long Answer Questions

1. Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation by a concave mirror when

the object is placed:

• At infinity

• Beyond the center of curvature

• At the center of curvature

• Between the focus and center of curvature

• At the focus

• Between the focus and pole

For each case, mention the nature, size, and position of the image.
2. Derive the mirror formula:

Using the ray diagrams, derive the formula:

1/f = 1/ v+ 1/u

where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

3. What is magnification?

Derive the formula for magnification in terms of image distance and object distance.
How

does the magnification vary for images formed by concave and convex mirrors?

4. Explain the working of a concave mirror in a solar furnace.

Why are concave mirrors used in solar furnaces instead of convex mirrors? Explain
how the

rays are concentrated at the focal point.

5. Why do we prefer convex mirrors as rear-view mirrors in vehicles?
