Ans.3–

Column I Column II
a. A plane mirror v. The image is erect and of the same size as the object
b. A convex mirror ii. Can form image of objects spread over a large area
c. A convex lens i. Used as a magnifying glass
d. A concave mirror iii. Used by dentists to see enlarged image of teeth
e. A concave lens iv. The image is always inverted and magnified

 

 

Q.4– State the characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror.

 

Ans.4– The following are the characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror:-

  • Plane mirror forms a virtual image.
  • Plane mirror forms an erect image.
  • The image are literally invert.
  • The size of image is equal to size of object.
  • The Distance of image behind the mirror is equal to distance of object in front of mirror.

 

 

Q.5– Find out the letters of English alphabet or any other language known to you in which the image formed in a plane mirror appears exactly like the letter itself. Discuss your findings.

 

Ans.5– A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X etc.

 

 

Q.6– What is a virtual Image? Give one situation where a virtual image is formed.

 

Ans.6– The image that cannot be formed on a screen is known as virtual image. The image formed by Convex, plane mirror and concave lens are virtual image.

 

 

Q.7– State two different between a convex and a concave lens.

 

Ans.7–
