True/false type question:
11. A ray of light can travel through an opaque medium.
12. A plane mirror always forms a real image.
13. The ratio of size of image to the size of object is known as
magnification.
14. When a ray travels from denser to rarer medium then it bends
towards the normal.

5. Numerical problems:
22. Calculate the angle of reflection for the given ray diagram
23. For a concave mirror the focal length is 12 cm. calculate the
diameter of that sphere
of which the given mirror is a part.
24. Draw a ray diagram for spherical mirror having m=1 for real
image.

images in two different cases. If the radius of curvature of
mirror is 40 cm. calculate the object distance and image
distance for both the cases.
