AB and CD, two spherical mirrors, form parts of a hollow spherical ball with its centre at O as shown in the diagram. If arc $\text{AB}=\frac{1}{2}$ arc CD, what is the ratio of their focal lengths? State which of the two mirrors will always form virtual image of an object placed in front of it and why.

Focal length of both the mirrors will be the same/ 1: 1
Mirror AB will always form virtual image as it is a diverging/convex mirror.

What is observed when 2mL of dilute hydrochloric acid is added to 1g of sodium carbonate taken in a clean and dry test tube? Write chemical equation for the reaction involved.
A 5cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 18cm at a distance of 12cm from it. Use lens formula to determine the position, size and nature to the image formed.
An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm. from a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. List four characteristics (nature, position, etc.) of the image formed by the lens.
Identify the device used as a spherical mirror or lens in following cases, when the image formed is virtual and erect in each case.Object is placed between infinity and device, image formed is diminished and between pole and focus, behind it.
