The diagram represents a concave mirror, where \(F\) is the principal focus and \(f\) is the focal length. The mirror is used to produce an image of an object.
       
Which of the following statements are correct?
(Assume the mirror is parabolic.)
(A) Incident rays travelling parallel to the principal axis always pass through \(F\) after reflection.
(B) Incident rays passing through \(F\) always travel parallel to the principal axis after reflection.
(C) The image formed is always inverted.
(D) The image formed is always real.
(E) The image formed is always larger than the object.

1. (A) and (C) only 
2. (C), (D) and (E) only
3. (B) and (D) only
4. (A) and (B) only

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): The formula connecting u, v and f for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.
Reason (R):  Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical mirrors.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Suppose that the lower half of the concave mirror’s reflecting surface in the given figure is covered with an opaque (non-reflective) material. What effect will this have on the image of an object placed in front of the mirror?

            

1. the image will show only half of the object
2. the image will show the whole of the object
3. the intensity of the image will be low
4. both (2) and (3)

A mobile phone lies along the principal axis of a concave mirror, as shown in the figure. Then,

  
 

1. the magnification is not uniform due to the length of the object along the principal axis.
2. the distortion of the image depends on the location of the phone with respect to the mirror.
3. both (1) and (2)
4. none of these

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Parallel rays of light of different colours fail to converge to a point after reflection from a spherical mirror. 
Reason (R): The refractive index of any material depends on the frequency of light.

2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is a correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not a correct explanation of (A).
