Worksheet 1

1. A small candle, 2.5 cm in size is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror


of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a
screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Describe the nature and
size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the
screen have to be moved?
2. A 4.5 cm needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length
15 cm. Give the location of the image and the magnification. Describe what
happens as the needle is moved farther from the mirror.
3. a) Calculate the distance of an object of height h from a concave mirror of
radius of curvature 20 cm, so as to obtain a real image of magnification 2.
Find the location of image also.
4. A concave mirror has a focal length of 20 cm and an object is placed at a
distance of 16 cm from it. Find the position and nature of the image formed
by it. What will be the position and nature of the image, if the concave
mirror is replaced by a convex mirror of the same focal length?
5. What is the angle of incidence when a ray of light falls on the spherical
mirror from its centre of curvature?
6. An object is at a distance of 10 cm from a spherical mirror and the image of
the object is at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror on the same side as the
object. Is the mirror concave or convex? What is its focal length?
7. An object is placed 15 cm from a convex mirror of curvature 90 cm.
Calculate the image position and the magnification.
8. An object is placed in front of the convex mirror 20 cm radius of curvature.
Its image is formed 8 cm behind the mirror. Find the distance of the object
from the mirror.
9. An object placed 12 cm from the pole of a concave mirror produces a real
image magnified four times. Find the radius of curvature of the mirror.
10. An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal
length 20 cm. Determine the ratio of the size of the image and the size of
object
