Assertion: Incident ray is directed towards the centre of curvature of spherical mirror. After reflection it retraces its path.
Reason: Angle of incidence (i) = Angle of reflection (r) = 0°
  • A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation.
  • B
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If assertion is false but reason is true.

Assertion: For observing the traffic at a hairpin bend in mountain paths a plane mirror is preferred over convex mirror and concave mirror.
Reason: A convex mirror has a much larger field of view than a plane mirror or a concave mirror.
  • A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation.
  • B
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D
    If assertion is false but reason is true.

Assertion : The nature of the image depends on the size of the mirror.
Reason : Small mirrors always form a virtual image.
  • A
    If both assertion & reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    If both assertion & reason are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
