MCQ 21 Mark
A 10mm long awl pin is placed vertically in front of a concave mirror. A 5mm long image of the awl pin is formed at 30cm in front of the mirror. The focal length of this mirror is:
  • A
    -30cm.
  • -20cm.
  • C
    -40cm.
  • D
    -60cm.
Answer
Correct option: B.
-20cm.

$\text{m}=\frac{\text{h}'}{\text{h}}=\frac{-\text{v}}{\text{u}}\text{ or}$
$\text{u}=\frac{-\text{v}\times\text{h}}{\text{h}'}=\frac{-(-30\text{cm})\times(10\text{mm})}{-5\text{mm}}$
$=-60\text{cm}$
$\therefore\ \frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{\text{u}}+\frac{1}{\text{v}}=-\frac{1}{60}-\frac{1}{30}=-\frac{1}{20}$
$\text{or f }=-20\text{cm}.$

MCQ 111 Mark
Magnification produced by a rear view mirror fitted in vehicles:
  • Is less than one.
  • B
    Is more than one.
  • C
    Is equal to one.
  • D
    Can be more than or less than one depending upon the position of the object in front of it.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Is less than one.
$\text{m}=\frac{\text{size of image}}{\text{size of object}}$
Rear view mirror is a convex mirror, which always forms an image whose size is less than the size of the object.

A child is standing in front of a magic mirror. She finds the image of her head bigger, the middle portion of her body of the same size and that of the legs smaller. The following is the order of combinations for the magic mirror from the top.
  • A
    Plane, convex and concave.
  • B
    Convex, concave and plane.
  • Concave, plane and convex.
  • D
    Convex, plane and concave.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Concave, plane and convex.
Concave mirror forms a magnified (enlarged) image of the object if the object is placed close to the concave mirror (i.e. a distance less than its focal length). Plane mirror always forms the image of the same size as that of the object.

Which of the following can make a parallel beam of light when light from a point source is incident on it?
  • Concave mirror as well as convex lens.
  • B
    Convex mirror as well as concave lens.
  • C
    Two plane mirrors placed at 90° to each other.
  • D
    Concave mirror as well as concave lens.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Concave mirror as well as convex lens.
When a point source of light is at the focus of a concave mirror or a convex lens, then emergent rays of light make a parallel beam of light. This is the reason; concave mirror is used as reflector of headlights.

MCQ 181 Mark

A light ray enters from medium A to medium B as shown in Figure. The refractive index of medium B relative to A will be:
  • Greater than unity.
  • B
    Less than unity.
  • C
    Equal to unity.
  • D
    Zero.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Greater than unity.
Since light rays in medium B goes towards normal. So it has greater restrictive index and lesser velocity of light with respect to medium A. So refractive index of medium B with respect to medium A is greater than unity.

MCQ 191 Mark
Rays from Sun converge at a point 15cm in front of a concave mirror. Where should an object be placed so that size of its image is equal to the size of the object?
  • A
    15cm in front of the mirror.
  • 30cm in front of the mirror.
  • C
    Between 15cm and 30cm in front of the mirror.
  • D
    More than 30cm in front of the mirror.
Answer
Correct option: B.
30cm in front of the mirror.
In this case, f = -15cm and hence c = -30cm; because radius of curvature is double the focal length. When and object is placed on C, its image is of the same size, inverted and is formed on C.
