Welcome to
When an object is kept within the focus of a concave
mirror, an enlarged image is formed behind the mirror. This
image is:
A B
real inverted
C D
virtual and virtual and

A virtual, erect, and magnified picture is generated behind
a concave mirror when an object is kept between its focal
length, that is, between the focus and the pole of the
mirror.

A lens produces a magnification of - 0.5. Is this a
converging or diverging lens ? If the focal length of the
lens is 6 cm, draw a ray diagram showing the image
formation in this case.

i) Explain why the refractive index of any material with
respect to air is always greater 1. (ii) In the figure below a
light ray travels from air into the semi-circular plastic block.
Give a reason why the ray does not deviate at the semi-
circular boundary of the plastic block. (iii)Complete the ray
diagram of the above scenario when the light ray comes
out of the plastic block from the top flat end.

The image formed by a spherical mirror is real, inverted
and is of magnification -2. If the image is at a distance of
30cm from the mirror, where is the object placed? find the
focal length of the mirror. List two characteristics of the
image formed if the object is moved 10cm towards the
mirror

U = 15 − 10 = 5 cm
The object is placed between principle focus and pole of
the mirror characteristics
1) Image will be virtual
2) Image will be erect

(a) As magnification is in negative the image will be down the principle axis compared to
the object and will form in Concave Mirror.
(b) The distance of image from the object is zero, real and inverted image of the same size
is formed at the same place where object is placed.

(c) Spherical mirror has a radius of curvature R and a focal length i.e F =
2
5O
F=
2
F = 25 cm
(d) Figure attached shows the image formation
by concave mirror for the given case.
