5. 10. 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
11. An object is kept at a certain distance in
6. front of a concave mirror with a focal
length of 12 cm. The real image is formed
at a point that is 10 cm away from the
object. Calculate the magnification of the
image formed by mirror.
12. An object 2 cm in size is placed 30 cm in
7. front of a concave mirror of focal length 15
cm. At what distance from the mirror
should a screen be placed in order to
obtain a sharp image? What will be the
nature and the size of the image formed?
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation
of the image in this case.
13. A student has focussed the image of an
object of height 3 cm on a white screen
using a concave mirror of focal length 12
cm. If the distance of the object from the
mirror is 18 cm, find the values of
following: (i) Distance of the image from
the mirror (ii) Height of the image.
14. All student wants to project the image of a
candle flame on a screen 80 cm in front of
a mirror by keeping the candle flame at a
distance of 20 cm from its pole. a) which
type of mirror should the student use? b)
find the magnification of the image
produced. c) Find the distance between the
object and its image? d) Draw a ray
diagram to show the image formation in
this case and mark the distance between
the object and its image
15. A student holding a mirror in his hand
direct to the reflecting surface of the
mirror towards the sun. He then direct it
the reflected light on to a shit of paper held
closed to the mirror. a) what should he do
to burn the paper? b) Which type of
mirror does he have? c) will he be able to
determine the approximate value of focal
length of this mirror from this activity?
give reason and draw ray diagram to
justify your answer in this case.
16. A 10 cm long pencil is placed 5 cm in front
of a concave mirror having a radius of
curvature of 40 cm. a. Determine the
position of the image formed by this
mirror. b. What is the size of the image?
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation
of the image as mentioned in the part (i).
