Image Formation by Mirrors starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Image Formation by Mirrors.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.

A concave mirror forms a real, inverted image of an object placed 30 cm from the mirror. The image is formed 60 cm from the mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror?
A concave mirror has a focal length of 10 cm. Where should an object be placed to obtain an image of the same size as the object?
A convex mirror has a focal length of 15 cm. An object is placed 30 cm in front of the mirror. Where is the image formed?
A person stands 2 m in front of a plane mirror. How far is the person from his image?
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 35° to the normal. What is the angle of reflection?
An object is placed at the center of curvature of a concave mirror. Where is the image formed and what are its characteristics?
Describe the difference between real and virtual images.
Describe the image formed by a convex mirror when the object is at infinity.
Explain the term 'lateral inversion' as it relates to images formed by plane mirrors.
Explain why a concave mirror can be used as a shaving mirror.
Explain why the image formed by a plane mirror cannot be projected onto a screen.
If an object is placed at the focus of a concave mirror, what is the nature of the image formed?
If the magnification produced by a mirror is -0.5, what does this tell you about the image?
If the radius of curvature of a concave mirror is 40 cm, what is its focal length?
State the law of reflection.
