प्रश्न
Under which of the following conditions a concave mirror can form an image larger than the actual object?
विकल्प
When the object is kept at a distance equal to its radius of curvature
When object is kept at a distance less than its focal length
When object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature
When object is kept at a distance greater than its radius of curvature
उत्तर
When object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature
Explanation -
In case of a concave mirror, when the object is kept between the focus and the centre of curvature, real, inverted and enlarged image is formed.

To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two rays and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror. Use these two rays to find the nature and position of the image of an object placed at a distance of 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm.
To construct ray diagrams, two rays of light are generally so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from a mirror. Choose two such rays and state the path/direction of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror. Use these two rays to find the position and nature of the image of an object placed at a distance of 8 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 12 cm.
Copy this figure in your answer book and show the direction of the light ray after reflection:
Name the type of mirror used by dentists. How does it help?
Study the following ray diagram and list two mistakes committed by the student while tracing it. Rectify these mistakes by drawing the correct ray diagram to show the real position and size of the image corresponding to the position of the object AB.
Pick out the concave and convex mirrors from the following and tabulate them.
Rear-view mirror, Dentist’s mirror, Torchlight mirror, Mirrors in shopping malls, Make-up mirror.
In the headlights of motor vehicles, ______ mirrors are used as reflectors.
______ mirrors make things look larger when objects are placed close to them.
The image formed by a concave mirror is real, inverted and of the same size as that of the object, the position of the object should be ______.
A student took three concave mirrors of different focal lengths and performed the experiment to see the image formation by placing an object at different distance with these mirrors as shown in the following table.
| Case No. | Object-distance | Focal length |
| I | 45 cm | 20 cm |
| II | 30 cm | 15 cm |
| III | 20 cm | 30 cm |
Now answer the following questions:
(a) List two properties of the image formed in Case I.
(b) In which one of the cases given in the table, the mirror will form real image of same size and why?
(c) Name the type of mirror used by dentists. Given reason why do they use such type of mirrors.
OR
(c) Look at the table and identify the situation (object distance and focal length) which resembles the situation in which concave mirrors are used as shaving mirrors? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
