Q.
no Question Answers
1 The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
when a beam of light strikes the reflecting surface. The
reflected ray, incident ray, and normal lie on the same
State laws of reflection plane.
2 mirror is defined as a reflecting surface and can be
explained by the law of reflection, which states that
when a ray of light is made to fall on the reflecting
surface, the incident ray, the reflected ray and the
normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same
plane and the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of

Explain what is principal axis principal axis of a spherical mirror
15 The distance between the pole of the mirror ( or the
optical center of the lens) and the focal point or principal
What is focal length focus of a mirror (or lens) is called the focal length.
16 What is the relationship between radius of curvature Focal length is half of the radius of curvature
and focal length
17 State three rules to draw a ray diagram 1. When a ray of light is parallel to to principal axis the
reflected ray of light passes through principal focus 2.
When a ray of light passes through principal focus the
reflected ray of light is parallel to the principal axis 3.
When a ray of light passes through the centre of
curvature the reflected ray of light also follows the same
path
18 Where is the image formed in case of concave lens
19 object is between pole and focus Behind the mirror
20 object is at focus At infinity
21 Object is between centre of curvature and principal
focus Between C and infinity in an inverted position

23 Object is inbetween centre of curvature and principal
focus
24 Object is beyond centre of curvature Between centre of curvature and principal focus
25 When the image formed lies in the same manner above
the axis as that of the object then the image formed is
What do you mean by Erect image called as Erect image
26 When the image formed is upside down on to negative
side of the coordinate axis then it is said to be an
What do you mean by inverted image inverted image
27 Write the sign convention for concave mirror Refer GSB
28 Write the sign convention for convex mirror Refer GSB
29 Magnification is the ratio of height of the image divided
Write the formula for magnification by the height of the object
30 If the height of image is greater than that of object
then the image Magnified image
31 If the height of image is smaller than that of object
then the image Diminished image
32 When the size of the image obtained is greater than the
What do you mean by the term magnified image size of the object then the image is said to be magnified
33 When the size of the image obtained is lesser than the
What do you mean by diminished image size of the object then it is said to be dismissed image
34 How is virtual image formed Virtual image is always formed behind the mirror
35 Real image is formed by intersection of reflected ray of
How are real image formed light in front of the mirror
36 By which sign is the object distance denoted when the
object is kept in front of convex mirror Negative sign
37 Bcoz all rays of light of light coming from will meet at
Why are concave mirror also called as converging one common point called as principal focus hence they
mirror are converging hence called as converging mirror
38 Bcoz reflected ray of light appear to come from a a point
Why are convex mirror also called as diverging mirror source behind the mirror
