Solution

How does his image in the silver sheet change if the sheet is bent in a semi-circular way,

(a) The sheet acts as a concave mirror when the sheet is bent in a semi-circular way along the length such that it bulges towards the face.

The nature of the image will be inverted.

(b) The sheet acts as a convex mirror when the sheet is bent in a semi-circular way along the length such that it bulges away from the face.

The nature of the image will be erect.

(c) The sheet acts as a concave mirror when the sheet is bent in a semi-circular way along with the breadth such that it bulges towards the face.

The nature of the image will be inverted.

(d) The sheet acts as a convex mirror when the sheet is bent in a semi-circular way along with the breadth such that it bulges away from the face.
