The incident ray, reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence, all lie in the same plane.
At the point of incidence, angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection/$\angle\text{i} = \angle\text{r}$.

Describe with the help of a diagram, the nature, size and position of the image formed when an object is placed beyond the centre of curvature of a concave mirror.
To find the image distance for varying object distances in case of a convex lens of focal length 15 cm, a student obtains on a screen a sharp image of a bright object by placing it at 20 cm distance from the lens. After that he gradually moves the object away from the lens and each time focuses the image on the screen.
In which direction-towards or away from the lens does he move the screen to focus the object?
How does the size of image change?
Approximately at what distance does he obtain the image of magnification -1?
How does the intensity of image change as the object moves farther and farther away from the lens?
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.
What is the minimum number of rays required for locating the image formed by a concave mirror for an object. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a virtual image by a concave mirror.
