Spherical Mirror Ray Diagram

Where should the object be placed in front of the reflecting surface?

• On the right side of the reflecting surface

• On the left side of the reflecting surface

• On the top of the reflecting surface

• On the bottom of the reflecting surface

How should the object be positioned on the principal axis?

• Perpendicular to the principal axis with its foot touching the principal axis

• Parallel to the principal axis

• At an angle to the principal axis

• Away from the principal axis

Which ray is reflected along its own path?

• A ray passing through the focus

• A ray parallel to the principal axis

• A ray passing through the centre of curvature

• A ray passing through the vertex

What happens to a ray parallel to the principal axis after reflection in a concave mirror?

• It passes through the focus

• It appears to come from the focus

• It gets reflected parallel to the principal axis

• It gets absorbed by the mirror

What happens to a ray passing through the focus in a concave mirror?

• It passes through the focus

• It appears to come from the focus

• It gets reflected parallel to the principal axis

• It gets absorbed by the mirror

What type of image is formed when the reflected rays actually meet at a point?

• Real image

• Virtual image

• Inverted image

• Erect image

Can a virtual image be obtained on a screen?

• Yes

• No

Is a real image inverted or erect?

• Inverted

• Erect

In a concave mirror, when is the image real, inverted, and diminished?

• When the object is beyond the centre of curvature

• When the object is at the centre of curvature

• When the object is closer to the mirror than the focus

• When the object is closer to the mirror than the centre of curvature

In a concave mirror, when is the image real, inverted, and of the same size as the object?

• When the object is beyond the centre of curvature

• When the object is at the centre of curvature

• When the object is closer to the mirror than the focus

• When the object is closer to the mirror than the centre of curvature
