Draw a ray diagram for concave mirror when the object is between centre of curvature and focus.
Draw the following diagram in which a ray of light is incident on a concave/convex mirror on your answer sheet. Show the path of this ray, after reflection, in each case.

A concave mirror ______ rays of light whereas a convex mirror ______ rays of light.
Define the principal focus of a concave mirror.
- Draw ray-diagrams to show the formation of images when the object is placed in front of a concave mirror (converging mirror):
- between its pole and focus
- between its centre of curvature and focus.
Describe the nature, size and position of the image formed in each case.
- State one use of concave mirror based on the formation of image as in case (i) above.
Answer the following question:
An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a concave lens of focal length 30 cm.
(i) Use the lens formula to determine the distance of the image from the lens.
(ii) List four characteristics of the image (nature, position, size, erect/inverted) in this case.
(iii) Draw a labelled diagram to justify your answer of the part (ii)
According to cartesion sign convention, which mirror and which lens has negative focal length?
The mirror having reflection surface curved outward ______.

While looking at the above diagram, Nalini concluded the following.
- the image of the object will be a virtual one.
- the reflected ray will travel along the same path as the incident ray but in opposite direction.
- the image of the object will be inverted.
- this is a concave mirror and hence the focal length will be negative.
Which one of the above statements are correct?
Define principal focus of the concave mirror.
