2. A man stands in front of a mirror of special shape. He finds that his image has a very small head, a fat body, and legs of normal size. What can we say about the shapes of the three parts of the mirror?
3. Which of the following is not a property of light?
4. What is the effect on the image distance when the object distance is decreased for a convex lens?
5. Day and night settings for rearview mirrors uses
6. Two beams of red and violet color are made to pass separately through a prism (angle of the prism is 60$^\circ$). In the position of minimum deviation, the angle of refraction will be
7. A telescope consist of two lenses of focal lengths 10 cm and 1 cm. Calculate the length of telescope, when an object is kept at distance of 60 cm from the objective, and the final image is formed is at least distance of distinct vision.
8. In the context of image formation by a concave mirror, what does a negative image distance (v) indicate?
9. What is the formula for the mirror equation?
10. When a light ray from a rarer medium is refracted into a denser medium, its

12. An astronomical telescope has a large aperture to
13. How does the focal length of a convex lens changes if mono chromatic red light is used instead of violet light?
14. An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, the displacement of the image will be:
