  1. Only a convex mirror.
  2. Only a concave mirror.
  3. Only a plane mirror.
  4. Both convex and concave mirrors.

1 Mark

Ans: 2. Only a concave mirror. Explanaon: An erect and enlarged image can only be formed by a concave mirror and it is virtual in nature.

Q6. Choose the correct opon in quesons? David is observing his image in a plane mirror. The distance between the mirror and his image is 4m. If he moves 1m towards the mirror, then the distance between David and his image will be.

  1. 3m.
  2. 5m.
  3. 6m.
  4. 8m.

1 Mark

Ans: 3. 6m. Explanaon: In the case of a plane mirror, the distance between the object and the mirror (d1) is same as the distance between the image and the mirror (d2).

Given, Distance between the mirror and David’s image, d2 = 4m Therefore, d1 = d2 = 4m If David moves 1m towards the mirror, then d1 = 4 - 1 = 3m Again, d1 = d2 = 3m Therefore, the distance between David and his image is d1 + d2 = 3 + 3 = 6m.

  1. Concave lens.
  2. Concave mirror.
  3. Convex mirror.
  4. Plane mirror.

Q25. Choose the correct opon in quesons? The rear view mirror of a car is a plane mirror. A driver is reversing his car at a speed of 2 m/s. The driver sees in his rear view mirror the image of a truck parked behind his car. The speed at which the image of the truck appears to approach the driver will be.

  1. 1m/s.
  2. 2m/s.
  3. 4m/s.

1 Mark

  1. 8m/s.

Ans: 3. 4m/s. Explanaon: The speed of the car is 2m/s which means the car is approaching the truck with a speed of 2m per second. The distance between the car and truck will decrease at a double rate. This is because the image of the truck will travel a distance twice the distance travelled by the car in equal me. Hence, the image of the truck will appear to approach the driver with the speed of 2 × 2 = 4m/s.

Q26. An image formed by a lens is erect. Such an image could be formed by a:

  1. Convex lens provided the image is smaller than object.
  2. Concave lens provided the image is smaller than object.

  4. Concave lens provided the image is of the same size.

1 Mark

Ans: 2. Concave lens provided the image is smaller than object. Explanaon: A concave lens can only form virtual, erect and diminished image of an object. As virtual and erect image formed by a convex lens is always magnified.
