  • A
    Away from the screen.
  • B
    Towards the screen.
  • C
    To a position very far away from the screen.
  • D
    Either towards or away from the screen, depending upon the position of the object.

$(10)$ The power of a lens $(P)$ is calculated by the formula, $P = \frac{1}{f}$, where $f$ is the focal length of the lens in meters. A lens has a focal length of $-0.25 \ m$. Is it a convex lens or a concave lens? Explain your answer.

The image formed by a spherical mirror is virtual. The mirror will be:

The images show four ray diagrams of images formed by concave mirrors. $P$ is the pole of the mirror. $F$ is the focus. $C$ is the centre of curvature. $AB$ is the object and $A'B'$ is the image.
