1. Lulu looks at her image in a makeup mirror. It is enlarged when she is close to the mirror.

As
she backs away, the image becomes larger, then impossible to identify when she is 30.0 cm
from the mirror, then upside down when she is beyond 30.0 cm, and finally small, clear, and
upside down when she is much farther from the mirror. Identify the type of mirror and find the
focal length of the mirror?
2. Name the type of mirror used in the following situations. Support your answer with reason
(a) Headlights of a car
(b) Side/rear-view mirror of a vehicle
(c) Solar furnace
3. Draw an H-R diagram using the data given. Identify the main sequence stars in this group.
How Castor and Pollux, have different temperature and same luminosity?

4. If the mass of Jupiter is 1.87 x 10
27
kg and its radius is 7.18 x 10
7
m, what is the value of the
acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Jupiter?
5. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth and at the surface of Saturn are
approximately the same. The mass of the Saturn is approximately 100 times that of the earth.
What is the ratio of the radius of Saturn to the radius of the earth?
6. A star travelling away from the Earth with a speed of 1.5% the speed of light. Light of
wavelength 700 nm is emitted by the star. What is the frequency of the light when it reaches the
earth?
7. We wish to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm.
What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror? What is the nature of the
image? Is the image larger or smaller than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show the image
formation in this case.
8. An object is located 50.0 cm from a convex mirror having a focal length of 15.0 cm. explain
the properties of the image formed. Draw corresponding ray diagram
