Q1. Briefly mention what makes things visible to us.
Q2. Explain why concave mirror is known as a converging mirror.
Q3. We need a shiny surface for reflection. Explain why.
Q4. Differentiate between a plane mirror, concave mirror and a
convex mirror without touching them.
Q5. Mention any two letters of English alphabet whose image formed
in a plane mirror appears exactly similar to the letters.
Q6. State the characteristics of images formed by a concave mirror.
Q7. It was observed that when the distance between an object and a
lens decreases, the size of the image increases. What is the nature of
this lens? If you keep on decreasing the distance between the object
and the lens, will you still able to obtain the image on the screen?
Explain.
Q8. Explain with the help of an activity that when seven colours are
mixed together, then white colour is formed.
Q9. Consider if one half of a convex lens is covered with a black
paper, then state whether this lens produces a complete image of the
object.
Q10. The image formed by a lens is always virtual, erect and smaller
in size for an object kept at different positions in front of it. Identify
the nature of the lens.
