प्रश्न
A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and the lens are likely to be ______.
विकल्प
both concave
both convex
the mirror is concave and the lens is convex
the mirror is convex, but the lens is concave
उत्तर
A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and the lens are likely to be both concave.
Explanation:
By convention, the focal length of a concave mirror and the focal length of a concave lens are taken as negative. Hence, both the spherical mirror and the thin spherical lens are concave in nature.

Suppose you have three concave mirrors A, B and C of focal lengths 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm. For each concave mirror you perform the experiment of image formation for three values of object distance of 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm. Giving reason answer the following:
(a) For the three object distances, identify the mirror/mirrors which will form an image of magnification – 1.
(b) Out of the three mirrors identify the mirror which would be preferred to be used for shaving purposes/makeup.
(c) For the mirror B draw ray diagram for image formation for object distances 10 cm and 20 cm.
To construct ray diagram we use two light rays which are so chosen that it is easy to know their directions after reflection from the mirror. List these two rays and state the path of these rays after reflection. Use these rays to locate the image of an object placed between centre of curvature and focus of a concave mirror.
