1.
The virtual image produced by a plane mirror appears to be the same distance away from the mirror as the object itself.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
A plane mirror reflects light rays in a way that they appear to come from behind the mirror. This creates a virtual image that is formed at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. This is because the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, causing the reflected rays to appear to originate from the same distance as the object. Therefore, the statement is true.
2.
A plane mirror produces a top-to-bottom reversal and a left-to-right reversal.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
Plane mirrors produce a front to back reversal of the image
3.
The height of an image as seen in a plane mirror is the same as the actual height of the object.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image formed is virtual and appears to be behind the mirror. The image is a reflection of the object and is of the same size as the object. Since the distance between the mirror and the object is the same as the distance between the mirror and the image, the height of the image is equal to the actual height of the object. Therefore, the statement is true.
4.
A plane mirror produces a same-size real image.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
A plane mirror produces a same size VIRTUAL image
5.
Virtual images are formed from divergent rays
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Virtual images are formed by the apparent intersection of diverging rays. These rays do not actually converge to a point but appear to do so when traced back. This is in contrast to real images, which are formed by the actual convergence of rays. In the case of virtual images, the rays appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror or lens, resulting in an image that cannot be projected onto a screen. Therefore, the statement "Virtual images are formed from divergent rays" is true.
6.
What is the size and position of an image formed by a plane mirror?
Correct Answer
B. Same size, same distance away from the mirror
Explanation
When an image is formed by a plane mirror, it is always the same size as the object and is located at the same distance away from the mirror as the object is. This is because a plane mirror reflects light rays in a way that preserves the size and distance relationships between the object and its image. Therefore, the correct answer is that the image formed by a plane mirror is the same size and at the same distance away from the mirror as the object.
7.
If di= -do, then what is the meaning of the negative sign?
Correct Answer
C. The image is virtual
Explanation
the minus means the image is behind the mirror- so virtual
8.
A man stand two meters away from a plane mirror. How far is it from the man to his image?
Correct Answer
C. 4.0 m
Explanation
When a person stands in front of a plane mirror, the image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the person is in front of it. Therefore, the distance from the man to his image is also 2 meters.
9.
Which of the following best describes the image from a plane mirror?
Correct Answer
C. Virtual and magnification equal to one
Explanation
Magnification =hi/ho since hi = ho magnification = 1 ( a positive magnification means upright image)
10.
When the reflection of an object is seen in a plane mirror, the distance from the mirror to the image depends on:
Correct Answer
B. . the distance from the object to the mirror.
Explanation
The distance from the mirror to the image depends on the distance from the object to the mirror. This is because the image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, meaning it is formed by the apparent intersection of the reflected rays. The rays of light from the object bounce off the mirror and appear to come from behind the mirror, creating the image. The distance between the object and the mirror determines the angle at which the rays reflect and thus affects the position of the image.
11.
if the flame on the candle is 2 cm tall, how tall is the flame of the image?
Correct Answer
B. 2cm
Explanation
object height = image height in plane mirrors
12.
An object is placed 100 cm from a plane mirror. How far is the image from the object?
Correct Answer
C. 200 cm
Explanation
distance from object to mirror = 100cm distance from mirror to image = 100cm distance from object to image = 100 +100 = 200cm
13.
An object represented by the grey arrow, is placed in front of a plane mirror. Which of the diagrams below best represents the image,represented by the pink arrow?
Correct Answer
B. B
Explanation
image is reversed front to back in plane mirrors
14.
A candle is placed near a plane mirror as shown below. At which point is the image of the candle formed.
Correct Answer
C. C
Explanation
The image of the candle is formed at point C because the light rays from the candle reflect off the plane mirror and converge at point C.
