Activity 10.6 NCERT Class 10 Science, Light Reflection and Refraction

Activity 10.6 NCERT Class 10 Science, Light Reflection and Refraction

Brief Procedure:

Activity 10.6 asks us to see a distant object with the various type of mirror and sizes.

Observation:

With a plane mirror of normal size, we cannot see the distant big objects like a tree.

With concave or convex mirror we can see the distant big objects.

Explanation:

A plane mirror forms the image of the same size. So a general mirror cannot form a whole image of a tree.

Concave and convex mirror form a diminished image of a distant source. So, we can easily see a big distant object through it.

Image formation in a Plane mirror:

Same size, same distance, virtual and erect imge.

Image formation on a concave mirror:

Inverted, diminished and real image.

object beyond centre of concave mirror
An object beyond the centre of concave mirror

Image formation on a convex mirror:

Virtual, diminished and erect image.

Image formation in front of a convex mirror.
Application: Vehicle back mirror.

We see here an erect, diminished image formation with convex mirror. We use this property of convex mirror in vehicles to see a complete view of the road and other vehicles.
