Questions no. 37 to 39 are case-based/data-based questions with 3 short

sub-parts. Internal choice is provided in one of these sub-parts.

37. A highly polished surface such as a mirror reflects most of the light
falling on it. In our daily life we use two types of mirrors plane and
spherical. The reflecting surface of a spherical mirrors may be curved
inwards or outwards. In concave mirrors, reflection takes place from the
inner surface, while in convex mirrors reflection takes place from the
outer surface.

(a) Define the principal axis of a concave mirror. 1

(b) A ray of light is incident on a concave mirror, parallel to its

principal axis. If this ray after reflection from the mirror passes
through the principal axis from a point at a distance of 10 cm from
the pole of the mirror, find the radius of curvature of the mirror. 1

(c) (i) An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from the pole of a

convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Find the position of the
image. 2

OR

(c) (ii) A mirror forms a virtual, erect and diminished image of an

object. Identify the type of this mirror. Draw a ray diagram
to show the image formation in this case. 2
