2. Space Exploration has been a very popular theme in English Literature and Pop Culture since the early ‘60s.
Many popular stories like James Cameron’s Avatar and Andy Weir’s The Martian are set within this premise.
It was Literature that inspired the scientists and entrepreneurs of today to dream of forging a life in the
unknown. Since an imaginary trip to Mars is well within our means, let us attempt to take a flight to the
unknown too. Attempt writing a descriptive passage of around 450 words based on the following prompt:

“Imagine you are a passenger on the first civilian mission Elon Musk has arranged for human beings to
explore life on Mars. Give a detailed description of what you think the experience might be like.” To be done in
A4size sheet and should be well presented with appropriate title.
[Reference Chapter: ‘The Book that saved the Earth’]

APPLICATION BASED (NUMERICAL ANALYSIS):

1. Light is a form of energy which induces sensation of vision to our eyes. It becomes visible when it bounces off on
surfaces and hits our eyes. The phenomenon of bouncing back of light rays in the same medium on striking a smooth
surface is called reflection of light. If parallel beam of incident rays remains parallel even after reflection and goes
only in one direction is known as regular reflection. It takes place mostly in plane mirrors or highly polished metal
surfaces. The mirror outside the driver side of a vehicle is usually a spherical mirror and printed on such a mirror is
usually the warning "vehicles in this mirror are closer than they appear."
Prepare three questions from the paragraph given above and differentiate between regular and irregular
reflection.
1. At what distance from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm should an object be placed so that (i) its real image is
formed 20 cm from the mirror (ii) its virtual image is formed 20cm from the mirror.
DIAGRAM BASED QUESTIONS (DRAW RAY DIAGRAM PROPERLY):
1. A ray of light strikes a plane mirror PQ at an angle of incidence 300, is reflected from the plane mirror and then
strikes a second plane mirror QR placed at right angles to the first mirror. What will be the angle of reflection at the
second mirror? (Draw ray diagram to support your answer) (C3.6)
2. Draw ray diagrams to show the formation of images when the object is placed in front of a converging mirror: (i)
between pole and focus (ii) between its centre of curvature and focus.
3. What happens to the image when the object is moved away from a convex mirror, gradually? Draw ray diagrams
to show this.
4. Make a list of at least 5 uses of concave and convex mirrors in our daily life around us. (C3.9)
