Q.1 The images of clouds and trees in water always less bright than in reality –
(1) because water is forming the image dirty
(2) because there is an optical illusion due to which the image appears to be less bright
(3) because only a portion of the incident light is reflected and quite a large portion goes mid water
(4) because air above the surface of water contains a lot of moisture

Q.2 A man 160 cm. height stands in front of a plane mirror. His eyes are at a height of 150 cm. from the floor. Then the

Q.4 Two mirrors are placed perpendicular to each other. A ray strikes the first mirror and after reflection from the first mirror

(3) At 450 to the original ray (4) At 600 to the original ray

image is 80 cm, the focal length of the mirror is -
(1) 15 cm (2) – 15 cm (3) – 30 cm (4) 40 cm

Q.9 An object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from the pole of a convex mirror and a plane mirror is set so that the virtual
images formed by two mirrors do not have any parallax. The plane mirror is 20 cm from the object. The focal length of
the mirror is -
(1) 37.5 cm (2) –7.5 cm (3) –37.5 cm (4) + 75 cm
