The spherical mirror mirror forms different types of images when
the object is placed at different locations. When the image is formed
on screen, the image is real and when the image does not form on
screen, the image is virtual. When the two reflected rays meet
actually, the image is real and when they appear to meet, the image
is virtual.
A concave mirror always forms a real and inverted image for
different positions of the object. But if the object is placed between
the focus and pole. the image formed is virtual and erect.
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image.
A concave mirror is used as doctor’s head mirror to focus light on
body parts like eyes, ears, nose etc., to be examined because it can
form erect and magnified image of the object. The convex mirror is
used as a rear view mirrors in automobiles because it can form an
small and erect image of an object.
(i) When an object is placed at the centre of curvature of a
concave mirror, the image formed is
(a) larger than the object
(b) smaller than the object
(c) same size as that of the object
(d) highly enlarged.
(ii) No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image
appears erect. The mirror is likely to be
(a)plane
(b)concave
(c)convex
(d) either plane or convex.
(iii) A child is standing in front of a magic mirror. She finds the
image of her head bigger, the middle portion of her body of
the same size and that of the legs smaller. The following is
the order of combinations for the magic mirror from the
top.
(a) Plane, convex and concave
(b) Convex, concave and plane
(c) Concave, plane and convex
(d) Convex, plane and concave
(iv) To get an image larger than the object, one can use
(a) convex mirror but not a concave mirror
(b) a concave mirror but not a convex mirror
(c) either a convex mirror or a concave mirror
(d) a plane mirror.
(v) A convex mirror has wider field of view because
(a) the image formed is much smaller than the object and
large number of images can be seen.
(b) the image formed is much closer to the mirror
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of these.
The lenses forms different types of images when object placed at different
locations. When a ray is incident parallel to the principal axis, then after
refraction, it passes through the focus or appears to come from the
[Link] a ray goes through the optical centre of the lens, it passes
without any deviation. If the object is placed between focus and optical
center of the convex lens, erect and magnified image is formed. As the
object is brought closer to the convex lens from infinity to focus, the
image moves away from the convex lens from focus to infinity. Also the
size of image goes on increasing and the image is always real and inverted.
A concave lens always gives a virtual, erect and diminished image
irrespective to the position of the object.
i) The location of image formed by a convex lens when the object is
placed at infinity is
(a) at focus
(b) at 2F
(c) at optical center
(d) between Fand 2F
(ii) When the object is placed at the focus of concave lens, the image
formed is
(a) real and smaller
(b) virtual and inverted
(c) virtual and smaller
(d) real and erect
(iii) The size of image formed by a convex lens when the object is
placed at the focus of convex lens is
(a) small
(b) point in size
(c) highly magnified
(d) same as that of object
(iv) When the object is placed at 2F in front of convex lens, the
location of image is
(a) at F
(b) at 2 F on the other side
(c) at infinity
(d) between F and optical center
(v) At which location of object in front of concave lens, the image
between focus and optical centre is formed
(a) anywhere between centre and infinity
(b) at F
(c) at 2F
(d) infinity
