A ray of light incident on a convex mirror:

the principal axis.
(ii) is directed towards its principal focus.
(iii) is parallel to its principal axis. [CBSE 2015]

Q9: The linear magnification produced by a
spherical mirror is -1/5. Analysing this value
state the (i) type of spherical mirror and (ii) the
position of the object with respect to the pole
of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to justify your
answer. [CBSE 2014]

(i) Concave mirror

(ii) Object is placed beyond C.

Q10: The image of an object formed by a
mirror is real, inverted and is of magnification
-1. If the image is at a distance of 40 cm from
the mirror, where is the object placed? Where
would the image be if the object is moved 20
cm towards the mirror? State reason and also
draw ray diagram for the new position of the
object to justify your answer. [CBSE 2016]
VIP
SERIES

Since the image formed by the mirror is real and

inverted, therefore the mirror is concave and
magnification of the mirror will be
m = –v/u ⇒ -1 = –v/u ⇒ v = u
i.e., object and image both are formed at the centre
of curvature, i.e., 40 cm from the mirror.
Now, if the object is moved 20 cm towards the
mirror, the object will be at the focus of the mirror
and therefore the image will be formed at infinity.

Q11: (a) Draw ray diagrams to show the

(i) Concave mirror (ii) Convex mirror
(b) Consider the following diagram in which
M is a mirror and P is an object and Q is its
magnified image formed by the mirror.

State the type of the mirror M and one

characteristic property of the image Q
[CBSE 2020].

Ray diagrams of principal focus:

(i) Concave mirror: In a concave mirror
the reflected rays of incident rays
parallel to principal axis actually pass
through the X focus (F). Thus concave
mirror has a real principal focus.
VIP
SERIES

(ii) Convex mirror. In a convex mirror the

reflected rays do not actually pass
through the focus (F). Thus, a convex
mirror has a virtual principal focus
situated behind the mirror.

(c) The mirror used in the given diagram

is a concave spherical mirror. Image
formed (Q) is virtual and magnified.

Q12: A spherical mirror ‘A’ always forms an
erect image of an object and another
spherical mirror ‘B’ forms erect as well as
inverted image of an object. State with reasons
the type of spherical mirrors ‘A’ and ‘B’ and
draw ray diagrams showing formation of
images to justify your answer. [CBSE 2013]
VIP
SERIES

Mirror ‘A’ is a convex mirror as this mirror always

forms an erect and virtual image. When an incident
ray is parallel to the principal axis, the reflected ray
appears to be coming from the focus and when
incident ray moves towards the centre of curvature,
the reflected ray retraces the path.

These two rules show that the reflected rays are

diverging and when produced backward, the rays
appear to meet. Thus, this mirror always produces a
virtual image which is always erect.

Mirror ‘B’ is a concave mirror. The nature, position

and size of the image formed by a concave mirror
depends on the position of the object in relation to
points P(Pole), F(focus) and C (centre of curvature) of
the mirror.
VIP
SERIES
VIP
SERIES

Case 1. When the object is placed between P and F –

the two reflected rays (one passes through the
focus and other retraces through centre of
curvature) are diverging and appear to meet in
backward direction. This produces a virtual and
erect image.
VIP
SERIES

Case 2. As the object moves away from the mirror

beyond F the two reflected rays actually meet below
the principal axis which produces a real and
inverted image.

SERIES
Q13: An object AB is kept in front of a concave
mirror as shown in the figure.
(i) Complete the ray diagram showing the
image formation of the object.
(ii) How will the position and intensity of the
image be affected if the lower half of the
mirror's reflecting surface is painted black?
VIP
SERIES

(i) Image formed will be between the

focus and center of curvature, it would
be inverted and smaller in size as
apparent from the ray diagram.

(ii) If the lower half of the mirror's

reflecting surface is painted black, the
position of image will be same but its
intensity gets reduced.

Q14: Draw a diagram and apply these
conventions in the determination of focal
length of a spherical mirror which forms a
three times magnified real image of an object
placed 16 cm in front of it. [CBSE 2012]

Diagram: When the object is between F and C

(centre of curvature):

(iv) beyond C.
