1. Explain the suitable characteristics of a mirror that can be uses as an outdoor safety mirror
at the corner of the road.

a) Mirror type

b) Size of mirror

c) Reflectivity of material

d) Characteristics of materials

e) Position/ Placing of the mirror

Aspect Characteristic Reason

Mirror type Convex mirror Image formed is virtual,
upright and diminished
Size of mirror Bigger To cover the wider reflected
area
Reflectivity of material Higher Because more light can be
reflect
Characteristic of materials  Same size  Same size because
 Real or virtual image angle of incident same
 Magnified with the angle of
 Glass reflection
 polycarbonate  A real or virtual image
can be formed
depending on the
position of the object
 When the object
approaches the mirror,
the size of image
increases
 Glass because easiest
to clean and high
reflectivity
 Polycarbonate because
resist heat and will not
easily break during hot
day.

Position/placing of the mirror Mounted at sharp corners of So that, drivers are able to see
roads oncoming cars on their blind
side
Decision Making question

2.

A compound contains an objective lens and an eyepiece lens. The focal length of the objective
lens is f0 and the focal length of the eyepiece lens is fe. Table above shows three different
distances of object and different distances between the two lenses.

Based on the information given, state the suitable arrangement in order to build a simple
compound microscope. Give your selection and reason, in terms of:
a) Object distance uo
b) Distance between the lenses
c) Distance of image ui
d) Choose the most suitable arrangement 10 marks
I choose arrangement L because:

ASPECT CHARACTERISTIC REASON

a) Object distance uo Object distance is between fo To produce real, inverted

b) Distance between the
lenses
c) Distance of image ui
and 2fo
Distance is between fo + fe
Distance of image lies
outside fe
and magnified image
To produce bigger image
from the eyepiece lens
 To produce virtual,
inverted and bigger
image
 To acts as a
magnifying glass

d) Choose the most suitable arrangement:

I choose L because object distance uo is between fo and 2fo . after that, the distance
between objective lens and eyepiece lenses, d is greater than fo + fe . therefore, the
distance between the image formed by the objective lenses and the eyepiece lenses,
ui is greater than fe
