Question : 24

Match Column-I with Column-II :

Column I (Position of the object) Column II (Magnification)
A. An object is placed at focus before a convex mirror 1. Magnification –∞
B. An object is placed at the centre of curvature before a concave mirror 2. Magnification is 0.5
C. An object is placed in focus before a concave mirror 3. Magnification is –1
D. An object is placed at the centre of curvature before a convex mirror 4. Magnification is 0.33
Select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

a) A – 2 ; B – 4 ; C – 1 ; D – 3

b) A – 2 ; B – 3 ; C – 4 ; D – 1

c) A – 1 ; B – 2 ; C – 3 ; D – 4

d) A – 2 ; B – 3 ; C – 1 ; D – 4

Answer: (d)

A - 2 : For u = -f,

$1/v + 1/{-f} = 1/f$

∴ v = $f/2$

and M = -$v/u$ = -$\text"f/2"/{-f}$ = 0.5

B - 3 : u = -2f. so v = -2f

M = -$v/u$ = -$({-2f}/{-2f})$ = -1

C - 1 : In concave mirror, u = –2f, v = – ∞

∴ M = -$v/u$ = – ∞,

D - 4 : In convex mirror u = – 2f

Question : 25

a) interference of light

b) reflection of sun light from air particles

c) dispersion of sun light from water drops
