Question
Write the word AMBULANCE as it would appear when reflected in a plane mirror. Why is it sometimes written in this way (as its mirror image) on the front of an ambulance?
✓
Answer
Because while driving our car. if we see in our rear-view mirror that the hospital van is coming from behind, then we get the laterally inverted image of
and read its as AMBULANCE and give way for it to pass throught.Need a full question paper?

A student wound an insulated copper wire around a soft iron rod. He then connected one end to the rheostat and the other free end to the battery via a key. He closed the key and observes the deflection in the magnetic needle placed nearby. Now he altered the current using by reversing the connections of the battery and again noted the change in the deflection of the needle.
