SUBJECT ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY

Dear students, Prepare a Power Point Presentation having two questions based on the topic taught
in the class with proper explanation. You need to explain these questions during the online/offline
class activity. Date of the activity will be informed by the subject teacher through broadcast group.

SCIENCE

I. Attempt the following questions in single assignment sheet:

nail is formed at 30 cm in front of the mirror. Calculate the focal length of this mirror.
2. The given figure shows a ray of light as it travels from medium A to medium B. Calculate the
refractive index of the medium B relative to medium A.

3. An object is placed 18cm front of a mirror. If the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror.
Calculate its focal length. Is the mirror convex or concave? What is the nature of the image? What
is the radius of curvature of the mirror?
