(c) Concave mirror
Question 5
Which of the following is true for concave mirror?
(a) When the object is at infinity, the image is formed at focal point.
(b) It forms both highly enlarged and highly diminished images
(c) When the object is placed at center of curvature, image is real, inverted and positioned at C only.
(d) Image formed is always virtual and erect.
Question 6
Rays from sun converge at a point 15 cm in front of concave mirror. Where the object should be placed so that size of its image is equal to the size of the object?
(a) 15 cm in front of the mirror
(b) 30 cm in front of the mirror
(c) Between 15 cm and 30 cm in front of the mirror
(d) more than 30 cm in front of the mirror

Question 7
In torches, search lights and headlights of vehicles bulb is placed
(a) Between pole and focus of the reflector
(b) Very near to the focus of reflector
(c) Between the focus and center of curvature of the reflector
(d) At the center of curvature of the reflector
Question 8
At what distance from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm should an object 2 cm long be placed in order to get erect image 6 cm tall.
Question 9
John is standing in front of a special mirror. He finds image of his head smaller, the middle portion of his body the same size and the legs bigger. The following is the order of combinations for the special mirror from the top
(a) Plane, convex, concave
(b) Convex, concave, plane
(c) Concave, plane, convex
(d) Convex, plane and concave
Question 10
Which of the following statements is true?
(a) A convex lens has 5 dioptre power having a focal length 0.20 m
(b) A convex lens has -5 dioptre power having a focal length 0.20 m
(c) A concave lens has 5 dioptre power having a focal length 0.20 m
(d) A concave lens has -5 dioptre power having a focal length 0.20 m

2. (d)
4. (a)
5. (a),(b) and (c)
6. (b) as F=15 cm and C= 2F=30 cm
7. (b)v 8.
f = -10 cm
$h_o = 2$ cm
$h_i=6$ cm
Magnification
$m = \frac {h_i}{h_o} = \frac {6}{2} = 3$ (erect image)
Now it is also given as
$m = -\frac {v}{u}$
$3 = -\frac {v}{u}$
v = -3u
Mirror formula
$\frac {1}{u} + \frac {1}{v} = \frac {1}{f}$
$\frac {1}{-3u} + \frac {1}{u} = \frac {1}{-10}$
u = -20/3 = -6.7 cm
