Ques11. Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray in each of the following cases.
A ray of light incident on a convex mirror:
1...strikes at its pole making an angle θ theta from the principal axis.
2....is directed towards its principal focus.
3... is parallel to its principal axis.
Ques12. If the image formed by a mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always virtual and diminished, state the type of the mirror. Draw any ray diagram in support of your answer.
Ques13. An object is placed at a distance of 12 cm in front of a concave mirror. It forms a real image four times larger than the object. Calculate the distance of the image from the mirror
