Q. No.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 |

Light from a point source in the air falls on a convex spherical glass surface (n = 1.5 and radius of curvature = 20 cm) of a glass medium which extends till infinity on other side . The distance of the light source from the glass surface is 100 cm. At what position the image is formed?
| 1. | at a distance of 200 cm from the glass surface, in the direction of incident light. |
| 2. | at a distance of 100 cm from the glass surface, in the direction of incident light. |
| 3. | at a distance of 200 cm from the glass surface, in the opposite direction of incident light. |
| 4. | at a distance of 100 cm from the glass surface, in the opposite direction of incident light. |
