1. The point on the principal axis where all the incident rays ,parallel to the
principal axis actually meet after reflection from the concave mirror
2. Concave mirrors
5. It means ratio of speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond is equal to
2.42
7.focal length =32/2 = 16 cm
8. Two reasons
i. It always produced erect and virtual image
ii. The size of the image is smaller then the object.
Both of the above reason allows the driver to have a wider view of the traffic
behind the vehicle in small mirror
9. The paper burns due to converging of the light at that point.
10. Refractive index of an optical medium is ratio speed of the light in air to the
speed of the light in the optical medium
11. Absolute refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of the velocity of
light in vacuum to the velocity of light in the medium. If c is the velocity of light in
vacuum and v in the medium, then n = c/v
2.
Spherical Mirror formula is given as
1f=1v+1u1f=1v+1u
For a plane mirror, f=∞f=∞ , v = v , u = -v
Applying these to Mirror formula
1∞=1v+1−v1∞=1v+1−v
0=00=0
Hence mirror formula holds good for plane mirrors too.
3.
Here, linear magnification (m) = - 3 (Negative sign for real image, which is inverted)
Object distance(u)=-10 cm
Image distance =x
Now m=−vum=−vu
or v =3u =-30 cm
The image is located at 30 cm in front of the mirror.
5. Concave mirror
6. Power=1f(m)Power=1f(m)
f(meter)=1power=−.5mf(meter)=1power=−.5m
f=-50 cm. It is a concave lens
7. ngw=nganwangw=nganwa
=3/24/3=98=3/24/3=98
8. f=250 mm = .25 m
Power=1f(m)=4DPower=1f(m)=4D
9.
i.The image is always virtual and erect.
ii.The image is highly diminished or point sized.
iii.It is always formed between F and P.
iv. The object and image are on opposite sides of mirror.
10.
A concave mirror produces a magnified image when the object is placed in front of the
mirror:
i.between its pole and focus
ii.between the focus and centre of curvature
For Ist one the image is virtual and erect, whereas in second the image is real and
inverted.
11.
linear magnification is the ratio of the size of the image to the size of the object . It is
denoted by Letter m.
For a mirror ,formula is given
m=−vum=−vu
For a lens ,formula is given
m=−vum=−vu
If the image formed is virtual then the magnification has positive value and in case of
real images, it is negative
