प्रश्न
Write the word AMBULANCE as it would appear when reflected in a plane mirror. Why is it sometimes written in this way (as its mirror image) on the front of an ambulance?

उत्तर
The word ambulance would appear as 
when reflected in a plane mirror. It is written this way so as to help a person driving a vehicle ahead of the ambulance to read it as AMBULANCE when he/she sees the rear view mirror. This is because the rear view mirror forms a laterally inverted image.

The coin disappears in a vessel as it is seen from a specific location. But as soon as the water is poured into the vessel to a certain level, the coin appears.
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
