Ncert class 10th chapter Light Reflection and Refraction
Ncert Class 10th Science Light Reflection and Refraction Shiva Valley School Question and Answers Question 1: Define the principal focus of a concave mirror. Answer: Light rays that are parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at a specific point on its principal axis after reflecting from the mirror. This point is known as the principal focus of the concave mirror. Question 2: The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 20 cm. What is its focal length? Answer: Radius of curvature, R= 20 cm Radius of curvature of a spherical mirror = 2 x Focal length (R = 2f R 20 1=22 =10 cm Hence, the focal length of the given spherical mirror is 10 cm. Question 3: Name the mirror that can give an erect and enlarged image of an object. Answer: When an object is placed between the pole and the principal focus of a concave mirror, the image formed is virtual, erect, and enlarged. Question 4: Why do we prefer a convex
