1. Reflections on concepts
1. Where will the image be formed when we place an object on the principal axis of a concave
mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?(AS)
2. State the differences between convex and concave mirrors? (AS)
3. Distinguish between real and virtual images. (AS)
4. How do you get a virtual image using a concave mirror? (AS)
5. What do you know about the terms given below related to spherical mirrors? (AS)
a) Pole
b) Centre of curvature c) Focus
d) Radius of curvature e) Focal length f) Principal axis
g) Object distance
i) Magnification
6. What do you infer from the experiment which you did to measure the object distance and
image distance? (AS)
h) Image distance
Answers
Answer:
1) if obeject is b/w focus and center of curvature then image forms behind the center of curvature
2) a convex mirror has
- has +ve focus
- forms virtual images
- image is always erect
- has opque pant at concave side
- is diverging mirror
b concave mirror has
- -ve focus
- forms real images
- image is inverted
- covering mirror
- has opque paint at convex side
3) real image | virtual images
|
allways inverted | allways erect
|
can be obtained. | can't be obtained
on screen. | on screen

fromed by | formed by diverging
converging ray. | ray
4) see attached image
5)see attached image
I) magnification:- it is ratio of hight of image to the hight of object or H2/H1
j) image distance :- distance between mirror and image it's +ve when virtual image -ve when real image
object distance :- distance b/w object and mirror +ve in case of real object ie infront of mirror and -ve in terms of virtual object which is pace behind the mirror
6) I couldn't understand. sorry
hope it helps you
