Q.7 The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should
be the position of the object?
(a) Between principal focus and center of curvature
(b) At center of curvature
(c) Beyond center of curvature
(d) Between pole of the mirror and its principal focus

Q.2 Is it possible that the law of reflection change, if we use spherical mirror instead of plane mirror?
2

Q.4 Can we change focal length of a given spherical mirror by changing the object distance from the mirror? 1

Q.6 (i) An object 1cm high produces a real image 1.5cm high when placed at a distance of 15cm from a concave
mirror. Calculate the position of image and the magnification.
(ii) Write two uses of concave mirrors. 2

Q.10 A student wants to project the image of a candle flame on the walls of the school laboratory by using a mirror.
(i) Which type of mirror should he use and why?
(ii) At what distance in terms of focal length of the mirror, should he place the candle flame to get the magnified
image on the wall?
(iii) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image in this case. 3
