Understanding Ray Diagrams in Mirrors

What types of mirrors are commonly used in telescopes?

• Plane mirrors

• Concave mirrors

• Convex mirrors

• All of the above

What is the purpose of the extraordinarily large telescope mentioned in the video?

• To monitor terrestrial landscapes

• To observe microscopic organisms

• To study atmospheric phenomena

• To capture detailed images of celestial bodies

How is an image formed in a plane mirror?

• The image is virtual and upright

• The image is magnified

• The image is inverted

• The image is real and diminished

What is the rule for reflection in mirrors?

• Angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection

• Angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection

• Angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

• Angle of incidence is unrelated to the angle of reflection

How can you determine the size of the mirror needed to see your entire height in a plane mirror?

• The mirror should be twice the height of the person

• The mirror should be half the height of the person

• Any size mirror will work

• The mirror should be the same height as the person

What happens to light rays in a concave mirror when the object is beyond the center of curvature?

• Rays do not interact with the mirror

• Rays diverge and form a virtual image

• Rays converge at the focal point forming a real image

• Rays pass through without any deflection

Where is the image located when an object is placed at the focal point of a concave mirror?

• At the center of curvature

• Behind the mirror as a virtual image

• No real image is formed

• At the focal point

What happens to the image as the object moves from the center of curvature to the focal point in a concave mirror?

• The image becomes smaller

• The image becomes larger

• The image remains the same size

• The image disappears

What type of image is formed by a convex mirror?

• Virtual and inverted

• Real and inverted

• Virtual and upright

• Real and upright

How does the size of the image compare to the object in a convex mirror?

• Larger

• Smaller

• Same size

• Cannot be determined
