Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. For ray diagram questions, use a ruler to draw accurate rays and locate the image. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an image formed by a plane mirror?
Virtual
Upright
Laterally inverted
Real
2. For a convex lens, if an object is placed at 2F, the image formed is:
Real, inverted, magnified
Real, inverted, same size
Virtual, upright, magnified
Real, upright, diminished
3. The point on the principal axis where parallel rays converge after reflection from a concave mirror is called the .
4. A convex mirror always forms a , , and image.
5. An object is placed 15 cm in front of a convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Draw a ray diagram to locate the image and describe its characteristics.
6. An object is placed 20 cm in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 10 cm. Draw a ray diagram to locate the image and describe its characteristics.
7. A virtual image can be projected onto a screen.
True
False
8. The focal length of a spherical mirror is half its radius of curvature.
True
False
Use the words below to complete the sentences.
9. A convex lens is also known as a lens because it causes parallel rays of light to meet at a single point.
10. An image formed by a concave lens is always and diminished.
