Physical Science B - Lesson 8: Mirrors and Lenses Quiz

Match the following types of mirrors with their descriptions.

• Reflects light to a focal point

• Concave mirror

• Bulges outward

• Plane mirror

• Used in telescopes

• Parabolic mirror

• Has a flat surface

• Convex mirror

Match the following mirrors with their properties.

• Causes light rays to diverge

• Concave mirror

• Reflects light without distortion

• Plane mirror

• Does not converge or diverge light

• Convex mirror

• Causes light rays to converge

• Flat mirror

Which mirror causes light rays to diverge?

• Concave mirror

• Convex mirror

• Spherical mirror

• Plane mirror

The focal point of a mirror is (a)   .

• The center of the mirror
• The point where light enters the mi
• The point where reflected rays conv
• The spot where light is absorbed

Which mirror always forms a virtual, upright, and smaller image?

• Concave mirror

• None of the above

• Convex mirror

• Plane mirror

Which mirror can produce both real and virtual images? The answer is (a)   .

• Convex mirror
• Concave mirror
• Flat mirror
• Plane mirror

A plane mirror always produces a (a)   image.

• Real, inverted, and smaller
• Virtual, upright, and same size

If an object is placed beyond the focal point of a concave mirror, the image is:

• Virtual and upright

• Real and inverted

• Smaller and virtual

• Magnified and upright

A lens that is thicker in the center than at the edges is called a (a)   lens.

• Concave lens
• Focal lens
• Plane lens
• Convex lens

What type of lens is thinner in the center than at the edges?

• Plane lens

• Concave lens

• Magnifying lens

• Convex lens
