Question
If a magnification of, −1 (minus one) is to be obtained by using a converging mirror, then the object has to be placed:
(a) between pole and focus
(b) at the centre of curvature
(c) beyond the centre of curvature
(d) at infinity
Solution
at the centre of curvature
If a magnification of −1 (minus one) is to be obtained by using a converging mirror, the object needs to be placed at the centre of curvature so that an image of same size as the object can be formed.

An object of height 4 cm is placed at a distance of 20 cm from a concave lens of focal length 10 cm. Use lens formula to determine the position of the image formed.
A student has obtained a point image of a distant object using the given convex lens. To find the focal length of the lens he should measure the distance between the :
(A) lens and the object only
(B) lens and the screen only
(C) object and the image only
(D) lens and the object and also between the object and the image
A student has obtained an image of a distant object on a screen to determine the focal length F1 of the given lens. His teacher, after checking the image, gave him another lens of focal length F2 and asked him to focus the same object on the same screen. The student found that to obtain a sharp image, he has to move the lens away from the screen. From this finding, we may conclude that both the lenses given to the student were :
(A) Concave and F1 < F2
(B) Convex and F1 < F2
(C) Convex and F1 > F2
(D) Concave and F1 > F2
Linear magnification produced by a concave mirror may be:
