enlarge and virtual

diminished and virtual

enlarged and real

shortened and real

Answer: diminished and virtual

Explanation:

Convex mirror always formed virtual and diminished image.


2. A 10 mm long awl pin is placed vertically in front of a concave mirror. A 5 mm long image of the awl pin is formed at 30 cm in front of the mirror. The focal length of this mirror is ?

– 60 cm

– 40 cm

– 20 cm

– 30 cm

Answer: – 20 cm

Explanation:


3. When a ray of light is incident normally, the angle of incidence is ?

90

45

0

none

Answer: 0

Explanation:


4. choose the statement which is/ are incorrect ?

Greater the difference in the speed of light in the two media, greater will be the amount of refraction or bending of light.

The refraction of light take place at the boundary between the two media.

The bending of light when it goes from one medium to another obliquely is called refraction of light.

The speed of light in air is 3 x 10 to power 18 m/s whereas that in glass is 2 x 10 to power 8 m/s.

Answer: The speed of light in air is 3 x 10 to power 18 m/s whereas that in glass is 2 x 10 to power 8 m/s.

Explanation:


5. A Concave Mirror Produces Magnification Of +4. The Object Is Place(d) ?

Beyond the centre of curvature

Between focus and pole

Between focus and centre of curvature

At the focus

Answer: Between focus and pole

Explanation:


6. If a man’s face is 25 cm in front of concave shaving mirror producing erect image 1.5 times the size of face, focal length of the mirror would be ?

60 cm

15 cm

75 cm

25 cm

Answer: 75 cm

Explanation:

In concave shaving mirror, virtual erect and large size image, behind the mirror is obtained,


7. An object at a distance of 30 cm from a concave mirror gets its image at the same point. The focal length of the mirror is ?

+15 cm

– 15 cm

– 30 cm

30 cm

Answer: – 15 cm

Explanation:

When object is placed at 2F, the image formed by concave mirror is also at 2F. So 2F = -30 or F = -15 cm.


8. Refraction of light by the earth’s atmosphere due to variation in air density is called ?

atmospheric scattering

atmospheric refraction

atmospheric dispersion

atmospheric reflection

Answer: atmospheric refraction

Explanation:

This phenomena is called atmospheric refraction.
