11. A 3 cm tall object is placed 18 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 12 cm. At what
distance from the mirror should a screen be placed to see a sharp image of the object on the
screen? Also calculate the height of the image formed.
12. A mirror is fitted in a wall of the AGRA FORT. When you stand at a proper location, a full-size
image of the Taj Mahal can be seen in this mirror. (i) What kind of mirror is it ? (ii) Draw a ray
diagram for such a mirror when the object is at infinity
13. “A concave mirror of focal length 15 cm can form a magnified erect as well as inverted image of
an object placed in front of it.” Justify this statement stating the position of the object with
respect to the pole of the mirror in both cases for obtaining the images.
14. Mention the types of mirrors used as (i) rear view mirrors, (ii) shaving mirrors. List two reasons
to justify your answers in each case.
15. Consider the following diagram in which M is a mirror and P is an object and Q is its magnified
image formed by the mirror
State the type of the mirror M and one characteristic property of the image Q.

16. A spherical mirror produces an image of magnification –1 on a screen placed at a distance of 50
cm from the mirror. 2014D (a) Write the type of 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.
17. Student wants to project the image of a candle flame on a screen 60 cm in front of a mirror by
keeping the flame at a distance of 15 cm from its pole. (i) Write the type of mirror he should
use. (ii) Find the linear magnification of the image produced. (iii) What is the distance between
the object and its image? (iv) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case
18. The image of an object formed by a mirror is real, inverted and is of magnification –1. If the
image is at a distance of 40 cm from the mirror, where is the object placed? Where would the
image be if the object is moved 20 cm towards the mirror? State reason and also draw ray
diagram for the new position of the object to justify your answer.
19. A student has focused the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a concave mirror.
The situation is as given below.
Length of the flame = 1.5 cm
Focal length of the mirror = 12 cm
Distance of flame from the mirror = 18 cm
If the flame is perpendicular to the principal axis of the mirror, then calculate the following.
a) Distance of the image from the mirror
b) Length of the image
If the distance between the mirror and the flame is reduced to 10 cm, then what would be
observed on the screen? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer for this situation.
