A student obtained a blurred image of an object on a screen using a concave mirror. In order to obtain a sharp image on the screen, he will have to shift the mirror -
away from screen
either towards or away from the screen depending upon the position of the object
to a position very far away from screen.


Important Questions on Light - Reflection and Refraction

Four students and carried out measurements of focal length of a concave mirror as shown in the four diagrams.
the best result will be obtained by students:-

Parallel rays, from the top of a distant object, incident on a concave mirror, form an image on the screen.
The diagram correctly showing the image of the object on the screen is-

The focal length of the concave mirror in the experimental set-up, shown below, equals

Image formed by a concave mirror-

To determine the focal length of a convex lens by obtaining a sharp image of a distant object we generally follow the following steps which are not in proper sequence
Hold the lens between the object and the screen.
Measure the distance between the lens and the screen.
Select a well lit distant object.
Place a screen opposite to the object on the lab table.
Adjust the position of the lens to form a sharp image.
The correct sequence of these steps is

To determine focal length of a concave mirror a student obtains the image of a well lit distant object on a screen. To determine the focal length of the given concave mirror he needs to measure the distance between—

Three students are finding the focal length of the given concave mirror by obtaining the image of the objects elected by them. obtains the image of the grill of the nearest window of the lab. obtains the image of a white painted building near the lab and obtains a point size image of the sun. The most correct value of the focal length is obtained by
