Suppose you have three concave mirrors $A$, $B$ and $C$ of focal lengths $10 \text{ cm}$, $15 \text{ cm}$ and $20 \text{ cm}$ respectively. For each concave mirror, you perform an experiment of image formation for three object distances of $10 \text{ cm}$, $20 \text{ cm}$ and $30 \text{ cm}$. Giving reasons, answer the following:
$(a)$ For the three object distances, identify the mirror$(s)$ which will form an image of magnification $m = -1$.
$(b)$ Out of the three mirrors, identify the mirror which would be preferred for shaving or makeup purposes.
$(c)$ For mirror $B$, draw the ray diagrams for image formation for object distances $10 \text{ cm}$ and $20 \text{ cm}$.

$A$ point object emits rays in all directions. Consider a ray emitted from the object that is parallel to the principal axis of the mirror. One of the points required to trace the reflected ray is the point of incidence itself,as shown in the figure. Select a point from the given figure through which the reflected ray passes.

$(a)$ Define the optical centre of a spherical lens.
$(b)$ You are given a convex lens of focal length $30 \, cm$. Where would you place an object to get a real,inverted,and highly enlarged image of the object? Draw a ray diagram showing the image formation.
$(c)$ $A$ concave lens has a focal length of $20 \, cm$. At what distance from the lens should an object be placed so that it forms an image at $15 \, cm$ away from the lens?
