Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray of light parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror and show the angle of incidence and angle of reflection on it.
The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyse this value and state the (i) type of mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case.
An object is placed at a distance of 40cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 40cm. List four characteristics of the image formed by the mirror.
A student focuses the image of a candle flame, placed at about 2 m from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm, on a screen. After that he moves gradually the flame towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen.
In which direction does he move the lens to focus the flame on the screen?
What happens to the size of the image of the flame formed on the screen?
What difference is seen in the intensity (brightness) of the image of the flame on the screen?
What is seen on the screen when the flame is very close (at about 5 cm) to the lens?
