24. Read the following and answers the questions: [4]

While dealing with the reflection of light by spherical mirror set of sign convention is followed. In this convention, the pole (P) of the mirror is
taken as the origin. The object is placed to the left of the mirror. All distance measured to the right of the origin is taken positively. Distance to
the left is measured negative. All distance parallel to the principle is measured from the pole.

25. Read the following and answer the questions: [4]

In the concave mirror, the nature, position and size of the image formed depend on the position of the object in relation to pole, the centre of
curvature and focus. The image is real for some position of the object and virtual for another position. The image is either magnified, reduced,
or has the same size, depending on the object's position.

R
i). What will be the position of the image if the object is placed at infinity?

a) Beyond C b) Between F and C c) At infinity d) At the focus F

A
ii). For an image to be the same size as the object what will be the position of the object?
