Q1
Prove that for a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
Solution
Q2
Establish the relation between object distance, image distance and radius of curvature for a concave
mirror.
Solution
Q3
Draw a ray-diagram to show image formation of an object placed between the pole and the focus of a
concave mirror. Derive the relation among u, v and f for this particular case. State the assumptions and
sign convention used.
Solution
Q4
With the help of a suitable diagram, derive the mirror formula for a concave mirror.
Solution
Q5
Establish the relation between object distance, image distance and focal length for a convex mirror.
Solution
Q6
What is linear magnification? Obtain expressions for the linear magnification of the image formed by a
spherical mirror.
Solution
Q7
Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation by a concave mirror when the object is kept between its
focus and the pole. Using this diagram, derive the magnification form
