A highly polished surface such as a mirror reflects most of the light falling on it. In our daily life we use two types of mirrors — plane and spherical. The reflecting surface of a spherical mirrors may be curved inwards or outwards. In concave mirrors, reflection takes place from the inner surface, while in convex mirrors reflection takes place from the outer surface.
The heat produced at a point due to concentration of sunlight by a convex lens burns a paper.
Define the principal focus of a concave mirror.
Complete the following diagram in which a Ray of light is incident on a concave and convex mirror on your answer sheet. Show the path of this Ray after reflection in each case.
During a science exhibition a student wants to project the image of a candle flame on a screen 80 cm in front of a mirror by keeping the candle flame at a distance of 20 cm from its pole.
Four students A, B, C and D performed the Experiment to determine the focal length of a concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant tree on a screen. They measured the distances between the screen and the mirrors shown in the diagrams given below:- The correct value of image will be obtained by:-
