questions of one mark each, section B comprises of 06 questions of four marks each and section C comprises
of 04 questions of six marks each.

(a) an object placed between f and 2f of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond 2f.
(b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object.
(c) the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located
between the focus of and the pole.

image. [4 Marks]

a number of images of the candle. What is the origin of these multiple images?
(b) You read a newspaper because of the light that it reflects. Then why do you not see even a faint
image of yourself in the newspaper?
