2) Diminished real image
3) Enlarged real image
4) An image of the same size
4. Draw the ray diagram to show reflected ray by a concave mirror when the incident ray
a) Passes through its centre of curvature
b) Passes through its focus
5. Mention two properties of image formed by a convex mirror.
6. Name the mirror that
a) Can give real as well as virtual image of an object.
b) Will always give virtual image of same size of an object.
7. A man standing in front of a mirror finds his image having a very large head and legs
of normal size. What types of mirrors are used in designing such a mirror?
8. The magnification produced by a mirror is -1.5. What does it signify about the image
formed?
9. Identify the nature of the mirror and mention two characteristics of the image formed
when magnification, m = +6.
10. An object is placed between infinity and pole of a convex mirror. Draw a ray diagram
and also state the position and nature of the image formed.
2. (a) It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal
length 20 cm
(i) What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror?
(iii) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
3.An object is placed between infinity and the pole of a convex mirror. Draw a ray
diagram and also state the position, the relative size and the nature of the image formed.
6. State the type of mirror preferred as (i) rear view mirror in vehicles
ii) Shaving mirror .Justify your answer giving two reasons in each case.
7. State the type of mirror preferred as i) Headlights of a car ii) Solar furnace. Justify
your answer giving two reasons in each case.
10.If the image formed by a mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of it is
always erect and diminished; what type of mirror is it? Draw a ray diagram to justify
your answer. Where do we generally use this type of mirror?
11. Design an activity using concave mirror to prove that it s converging in nature. Also
state a method to find its rough focal length.
12. Write one similarity and one dissimilarity between image formed by pane mirror and
convex mirror.
13. Draw a diagram and apply [the new Cartesian sign] conventions for calculating focal
length and nature of a spherical mirror which forms a 1/3 times magnified virtual
image of an object placed 18cm in front of it.
14. According to Cartesian sign convention, all distances are measured from the pole of
the mirror or the optical centre of the lens. The distances measured in the same
direction as the incident light are taken as positive and those measured in the
direction opposite to the direction of incident light are taken as negative. The
heights measured upwards with respect to x-axis and normal to the principal axis
(x-axis) of the mirror/ lens are taken as positive. The heights measured downwards
are taken as negative.
2. Height of the object is +6cm and the height of the image is +1cm. Name the
type of mirror and nature of the image.
iii) Find the distance between the object and its image.
iv) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case and mark the distance
between the object and its image.
2. For the given data showing object distance and focal length of three concave mirrors,
answer the following questions :
i)Out of the three in which case the mirror will form the image having same size as
the object ?
iii)Draw the ray diagram for part (1) and part (2)
