List of top Physics Questions on Mirrors and Images

Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) All mirrors follow the laws of reflection.
(B) The angle between the ray of incidence and the plane surface of the mirror is equal to the angle between the plane surface of mirror and the ray of reflection for plane mirror
(C) the rays coming parallel to the principal axis will go after reflection through the focus of the curved mirror
(D) the rays coming to the pole of a curved mirror making an angle with axis will be reflected making the equal angle with the axis on the other side of the axis.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
If the silver coating around the centre of a concave mirror is removed, will the mirror still form the image of an object? Justify your answer.
Use the mirror formula to deduce that a convex mirror always produces a virtual image of an object kept in front of it.
Using the mirror equation and the formula of magnification, deduce that “the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located between the pole and the focus.”
The magnification produced by a spherical mirror is \( -2.0 \). The mirror used and the nature of the image formed will be:
A concave mirror has a radius of curvature 20 cm. Calculate the distance of an object from the mirror so as to form an image of magnification -2. Also, find the location of the image.
Using Huygens’ principle, explain the refraction of a plane wavefront, propagating in air, at a plane interface between air and glass. Hence verify Snell’s law.
An object of 4.0 cm in size is placed at 25 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image?
