(b) State three characteristics of the image seen in part (a).
(b) State three characteristics of the image seen in part (a).
State two uses of a concave mirror.
Upto what maximum distance from a concave mirror, the image can be obtained? What will be the location of object for it?
When an object of height 1 cm is kept at a distance 4 cm from a concave mirror, its erect image of height 1.5 cm is formed at a distance 6 cm behind the mirror. Find the focal length of mirror, by drawing.
A point light source is kept in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 40 cm. The focal length of the mirror is 40 cm. Find the position of image by drawing.
An object 5 cm high is placed at a distance 60 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm. Find the position and size of the image.
At what distance from a concave mirror of focal length 25 cm should an object be placed so that the size of image is equal to the size of the object.
An object of height 2 cm is placed at a distance of 20 cm in front of a concave mirror of a focal length of 12 cm. Find the position, size, and nature of the image.
An object of length 4 cm is placed in front of a concave mirror at distance 30 cm. The focal length of mirror is 15 cm.
- Where will the image form?
- What will be the length of image?
