(b) when the sun is behind you
(c) when the sun is overhead
(d) only at the time of sunrise
Answer:
(b) when the sun is behind you

(a) Only concave mirror
(b) Only plane mirror
(c) Only convex mirror
(d) Both concave and convex mirrors
Answer:
(a) Only concave mirror

Question 10.
You are provided with a convex mirror, a concave mirror, a convex lens and a concave lens. You
can get an inverted image from [NCERT Exemplar]
(a) both concave lens and convex lens
(b) both concave mirror and convex mirror
(c) both concave mirror and convex lens
(d) both convex mirror and concave lens
Answer:
(c) both concave mirror and convex lens

Question 11.
An image formed by a lens is erect. Such an image could be formed by [NCERT Exemplar]
(a) convex lens provided the image is smaller than object
(b) concave lens provided the image is smaller than object
(c) concave lens provided the image is larger than object
(d) concave lens provided the image is of the same size
Answer:
(b) concave lens provided the image is smaller than object

Question 12.
The colour of light which is deviated the least by prism in the spectrum of white light is
(a) violet
(b) green
(c) yellow
(d) red
Answer:
(a) Since, red colour has the greatest wavelength, that’s why, it is deviated the least in the
spectrum of white light.

True/False
1. A concave lens can be used to produce an enlarged and erect image.
2. A convex lens always produces a real image.
3. The sides of an object and its image formed by a concave mirror are always interchanged.
[NCERT Exemplar]
4. An object can be seen only if it emits light. [NCERT Exemplar]
5. The image formed in a plane mirror is erect, enlarged and virtual.
6. A concave mirror always forms an erect and diminished image of the object.
7. The image formed in a plane mirror is behind the mirror.
8. A concave mirror is also known as a converging mirror.
9. A virtual image is larger than the object can be produced by a convex mirror.
10. The mirror which can form a magnified image of an object is both convex and concave
mirrors.
11. In a convex spherical mirror, reflection of light takes place at a bent in surface.
Answers:
1. False, a concave lens can be used to produce an erect and diminished (smaller than the object
image).
2. False, no, a convex lens does not always produce a real image because when the object is
placed close to the convex lens, then the image formed by convex lens is virtual, erect and larger
than the object.
3. True
4. False, an object can be seen even if the ray of light is emitted from some different sources of
light and suffering the reflection from the object surface after getting incident on it.
5. False, the image formed in a plane mirror is always erect and virtual.
6. False, a concave mirror always forms an erect, virtual and enlarged (larger than the object)
image.
7. True
8. True
9. False, an enlarged image is always larger than the object and is always formed by a concave
mirror.
10. False, a concave mirror is a mirror which forms the magnified image of an object.
11. False, in a convex spherical mirror, reflection of light takes place out the bent out (bulging out)
surface.
