Explain why, though both a plane mirror and a sheet of paper reflect light but we can see the image of our face in a plane mirror but not in a sheet of paper.
The image formed by a plane mirror is :
(a) virtual, behind the mirror and enlarged.
(b) virtual, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object.
(c) real, at the surface of the mirror and enlarged.
(d) real, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object.
Explain how to read the following message which was found on some blotting paper:
A ray of light travelling in glass emerges into air. State whether it will bend towards the normal or away from the normal.
Light travels more quickly through water than through glass.
