All the objects either reflect or scatter the light in all directions. This reflected or scattered light,
on falling on our retina, makes the objects visible to us. So, with the help of light, we are able to
see this beautiful world. When light is incident on a surface, separating two media, a part of the
light is bounced back to the first medium. This is known as reflection. The image formed by a
plane mirror is virtual and erect and it is laterally inverted. A spherical mirror is a part of a
sphere. If a mirror is obtained from a sphere silvered on the outer side, it is called a concave
mirror and if a mirror is obtained from a sphere silvered inside, it is called a convex mirror. The
focal length “f” of a spherical mirror is equal to half of the radius of curvature R. A convex
mirror is a diverging mirror and it produces virtual, diminished image whereas concave mirror
is a converging mirror and can produce magnified virtual images as well as real images.

A real image (always inverted) is the one through which the rays of light actually pass
after reflection from concave mirror and which can be formed on a screen. A virtual image

a concave mirror changes with the position of the object. The size of image may be
determined by using a graph paper fixed on the screen.

the top of windscreen inside the cabin. This device is one of the most basic but essential
safety devices in the vehicle. It provides assistance to the driver during overtaking, parking in
reverse gear etc. Generally, vehicles also have a pair of mirrors attached to the body from
outside. They are popular as ‘side mirrors’ or Outer Rear View Mirrors (ORVM) which serve
the same purpose. Almost all modern cars mount their side mirrors on the doors-normally at
A-pillar rather than the wings (the portion of the body above the wheel well).

Q369. For a real object, which of the following can produce a real image?
(a) Plane mirror
(b) Concave mirror
(c) Concave lens
(d) Convex mirror

Q370. An object at a distance of +15 cm is slowly moved towards the pole of a convex
mirror. The image will get...
(a) shortened and real
(b) enlarged and real
(c) enlarge and virtual
(d) diminished and virtual

Q371. The word ‘AMBULANCE’ is written on the vehicle as:


Q372. Mark the correct statement:
(a) Convex mirror conform images of objects spread over a large area.
(b) Convex mirrors are used by dentist.
(c) In convex mirror image is formed larger in size, erect and real.
(d) Convex mirror forms real image.

Read the following and answer questions
Reflecting surface do not have to be flat. The most common curved mirrors are spherical.
A spherical mirror is called convex if the reflection takes place on the outer surface. A
mirror is called concave if the reflecting surface is on the inner surface of the sphere. We
first consider an object that is very far from a concave mirror. For an object infinitely far
away the ray would be precisely parallel.
The law of reflection holds for each of these rays at the point each strikes the mirror. As
can be seen, they are not all through to a single point. In order to form a sharp image, the
rays must be come to a point. The point F, where rays parallel to the principal axis come to a
focus is called focal point of the mirror and focal length of the mirror is half of curvature

373. An object 20 cm from a spherical mirror gives rise to virtual image 15 cm behind the
mirror. The type of mirror and its focal length is
a) concave; 30 cm
b) concave; 60 cm
c) convex; 30 cm
d) convex; 60 cm

374 Choose the wrong statement.
a) A convex mirror can form a diminished real image
b) A convex mirror can form a diminished virtual image
c) A concave mirror can form a magnified virtual image
d) A concave mirror can form a magnified real image

375. The angle between an incident ray and plane mirror is 400
. The total angle between
the incident ray and reflected ray will be
a) 1000
b) 700
c) 400
d) 800

376. The laws of reflection is true for
a) the convex mirror only
b) the concave mirror only
c) the plane mirror only
d) all reflecting surfaces

377. The amount of light is reflected depends on
a) the smoothness of the reflecting surface
b) the nature of the reflecting surface
c) the nature of material of the object
D )all
