Spherical Mirrors

Match the following:

The image distance in the mirror formula is normally written by the letter $\text{'}v\text{'}$.

What would be the image distance of an object when it is kept on the principal axis at a distance of $10 \mathrm{cm}$ in front of a concave mirror having the focal length of $5 \mathrm{cm}$?

The image distance of an object when it is kept on the principal axis at a distance of $25 \mathrm{cm}$ in front of a concave mirror having the radius of curvature $10 \mathrm{cm}$ is approximately $4.167 \mathrm{cm}$.

What do you mean by image distance?

The plane mirror always form virtual images whereas the curved mirrors form real and virtual images.

The main differences between a plane mirror and curved mirror is/are :

The curved mirrors are different from plane mirrors in the context of images formed.

Spherical mirrors form different types of images. Explain this.

Differentiate between curved mirrors and plane mirrors.

Where will the image form when we place an object, on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?

Concave mirror has _____(negative/ positive) focal length.

Name the point where all the incident rays coming parallel to the principal axis meet after reflection from a concave mirror.
(Center of curvature/ focus).

Which type of mirror is used in the street lights used to illuminate roads?

A convex mirror always forms an erect, _____, and diminished image of the objects that are placed in front of it.

A convex mirror always forms an erect, virtual, and enlarged image of the objects that are placed in front of it.

Which mirror is used as a rearview mirror in vehicles?

In the headlight of a vehicle, the bulb is placed at the centre of curvature of the mirror used.

After reflection from the mirrors used in the headlight of a vehicle, we get a strong perpendicular beam of light which helps us to see the road.

The mirror used in the headlight of a vehicle acts as a reflector.
