A teacher held a pencil close to a spherical mirror and asked four students $W$ , $X$ , $Y$ and $Z$ to predict the nature of the mirror with the help of the image formed in the mirror. The image was erect and enlarged. The four students identified it as follows :
$W$ - Convex in nature
$X$ - Concave in nature
$Y$ - Plane mirror
$Z$ - Plano-concave mirror

Solution

The correct option is B $X$
Since Convex mirror and plane mirrors cannot form enlarged images and so Plano-concave mirror and when the object is closer to concave mirror then it forms erect enlarged and virtual image on the other side of the mirror. Hence option (b).

Himanshu was challenged by his friend Sushweta to differentiate between a plane, concave and convex mirror without touching them. He placed a candle in front of each of the mirrors and observed that they showed different behavior. Mirror I always formed a diminished image, Mirror II always formed an image of same height while for Mirror III the image was enlarged when the candle was placed close to mirror. Can you help him identify them?

Q. For performing an experiment, a student was asked to choose one concave mirror and one convex lens from a lot of mirrors and lenses of different kinds. the correct procedure adopted by her will be:

(2) To choose a mirror which can form a diminished and erect image and a lens which can form an enlarged and erect image of the object.
(3) To choose a mirror which can form an enlarged and erect image and a lens which can form a diminished and erect image of an object.
(4) To choose a mirror and a lens which can form a diminished and erect image of an object.

Q. An object is placed between a convex and a concave mirror. The pole of the convex mirror coincides with the centre of curvature of the concave mirror. Suppose an object is placed at the focus of the concave mirror. What will be the nature of the image formed by the concave mirror of the image formed by the convex mirror?

The correct option is B XSince Convex mirror and plane mirrors cannot form enlarged images and so Plano-concave mirror and when the object is closer to concave mirror then it forms erect enlarged and virtual image on the other side of the mirror. Hence option (b).
