    This document contains 10 questions about reflection of light and image formation using spherical mirrors. The questions cover topics like the type of mirror that produces an always erect and diminished image for any object position, the range of distances an object can be placed in front of a converging mirror of a given focal length to obtain an erect image, determining the focal length and type of mirror using a mirror to reflect sunlight, and calculating image position, size, and nature using mirror equations.

    Revision Worksheet
    Ch-Reflection of light
    Q1. If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all position of the object
    placed in front of it is always erect and diminished, what type of mirror is it?
    Draw a labelled ray diagram to support your answer.

    Q2.Rohit wants to have an erect image of an object using a converging mirror


    of focal length 40 cm.
    (a) Specify the range of distance where the object can be placed in front of the
    mirror. Justify.
    (b) Draw a ray diagram to show image formation in this case.
    (c) State one use of the mirror based on the above kind of image formation.

    Q3.A student holding a mirror in his hand, directed the reflecting surface of the
    mirror towards the Sun. He then directed the reflected light on to a sheet of
    paper held close to the mirror.
    (a) What should he do to burn the paper?
    (b) Which type of mirror does he have?
    (c) Will he be able to determine the approximate value of focal length of this
    mirror from this activity?
    Give reason and draw ray diagram to justify your answer in this case.

    Q4.A 5 cm tall object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a convex mirror of


    focal length 15 cm. Find the position, size and nature of the image formed.

    Q5. An object 4 cm in height is placed at 15 cm in front of a concave mirror of


    focal length 10 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed
    to obtain a sharp image of the object. Calculate the height of the image.

    Q6. The image of a candle flame placed at a distance of 30 cm from a mirror is


    formed on a screen placed in front of the mirror at a distance of 60 cm from its
    pole. What is the nature of the mirror? Find its focal length. If the height of the
    flame is 2.4 cm, find the height of its image. State whether the image formed is
    erect or inverted.
    Q7.The image formed by a spherical mirror is real, inverted and is of
    magnification-2. If the image is at a distance of 30 cm from the mirror, where is
    the object placed? Find the focal length of the mirror. List two characteristics
    of the image formed if the object is moved 10 cm towards the mirror.

    Q8.(a) A security mirror used in a big showroom has radius of curvature 5 m. If


    a customer is standing at a distance of 20 m from the cash counter, find the
    position, nature and size of the image formed in the security mirror.

    (b) Neha visited a dentist in his clinic. She observed that the dentist was
    holding an instrument fitted with a mirror. State the nature of this mirror and
    reason for its use in the instrument used by dentist.

    Q9. We prefer a convex mirror as a rear view mirror in vehicles. Why?

    Q10.What is the magnification of the images formed by plane mirror and why?
