When light falls on a surface and bounces back to the medium, the phenomena is called ……………..
Hide | ShowAnswer :
reflection
No matter how far you stand from a spherical mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror may be ………. .
Hide | ShowAnswer :
plane or convex mirror
A ………. mirror is used as a head mirror by the doctors to concentrate light on the body parts to be examined
Hide | ShowAnswer :
concave
A positive sign in the value of magnification indicates that the image is ……….
Hide | ShowAnswer :
virtual
A ………. lens will always give a virtual, erect and diminished image, irrespective of the position of the object.
Hide | ShowAnswer :
concave
The SI unit of power is ………. .
Hide | ShowAnswer :
dioptre
Power of’ a lens is the ………. of its focal length.
Hide | ShowAnswer :
reciprocal
The speed of light in vacuum is ………. .
Hide | ShowAnswer :
3 x 108 m/s
Light shows the phenomena of reflection, refraction and ………. .
Hide | ShowAnswer :
dispersion
A ray of light travelling in air enters obliquely into water. Does the light ray bends towards the normal or away from the normal? Why?
Hide | ShowAnswer :
The light ray bends towards the normal. When a light ray enters from an optically rarer medium (which has low refractive index) to an optically denser medium (which has a high refractive index), its speed slows down and bends towards the normal. As water is optically denser than air, a ray of light entering from air into water will bend towards the normal.
The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 20 cm. What is its focal length?
Hide | ShowAnswer :
Radius of curvature (R) = 20 cm
Radius of curvature of the spherical mirror = 2 × Focal length (f)
R = 2f
f= R/2 = 20 / 2 = 10
Therefore, the focal length of the spherical mirror is 10 cm.
Answer :
Convex mirror is preferred as a rear-view mirror in cars and vehicles as it gives a wider field of view, which helps the driver to see most of the traffic behind him. Convex mirrors always form an erect, virtual, and diminished image of the objects placed in front of it.
Find the focal length of a convex mirror whose radius of curvature is 32 cm.
Hide | ShowAnswer :
Radius of curvature (R) = 32 cm
Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length (f)
R= 2f
f = R/2 = 32/2 = 16
Therefore, the focal length of the given convex mirror is 16 cm.
A concave mirror produces three times magnified (enlarged) real image of an object placed at 10 cm in front of it. Where is the image located?
Hide | Show
Answer :
Magnification produced by a spherical mirror:
Answer :
Light rays that are parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at a specific point on its principal axis after reflecting from the mirror. This point is called the principal focus of the concave mirror.
Name the mirror that can give an erect and enlarged image of an object.
Hide | ShowAnswer :
The mirror that can give an erect and enlarged image of an object is Concave Mirror.
Object distance (u) = – 10 cm
v = 3 × (- 10) = – 30 cm
Therefore, the negative sign indicates that an inverted image is formed in front of the given concave mirror at a distance of 30 cm.
