Worked practice questions

As per your syllabus, what is the MIRROR FORMULA — relating object distance (u), image distance (v), and focal length (f)?

  1. 1/v + 1/u = 1/f
  2. 1/v × 1/u = 1/f
  3. v + u = f
  4. 1/v − 1/u = 1/f (this is the lens formula)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

As per your syllabus, Eq 9.1, mirror formula = 1/v + 1/u = 1/f. The lens formula is 1/v − 1/u = 1/f (different sign).

As per your syllabus, a NEGATIVE value of magnification m for a mirror indicates what?

  1. The image is virtual (erect)
  2. The image is at infinity
  3. The image is REAL (inverted)
  4. The image is point-sized
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The image is REAL (inverted)

As per your syllabus, §Magnification, negative m = real (inverted) image. Positive m = virtual (erect) image.

As per your syllabus, if the radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 20 cm, what is its focal length?

  1. 10 cm (since f = R/2)
  2. 20 cm
  3. 5 cm
  4. 40 cm
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 10 cm (since f = R/2)

As per your syllabus, f = R/2 = 20/2 = 10 cm.
