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.
$1$. Which of these can be concluded from diagram $1$?
$A$. Image is formed at the focus.
$B$. Size of the image is equal to the size of the object.
$C$. Distance between pole and centre of curvature is twice the focal length.
$D$. Distance between the image and focus is half the distance between the object and focus.
$2$. Which diagram shows a real, inverted and enlarged image formed by the mirror?
$A$. Diagram $1$
$B$. Diagram $2$
$C$. Diagram $3$
$D$. Diagram $4$
$3$. In which condition does a concave mirror produce a virtual image?
$A$. When object is located within the focal length
$B$. When object is located at the centre of curvature
$C$. When object is located in between infinity and the centre of curvature
$D$. When object is located in between the centre of curvature and the focus
$4$. Solar cookers contain a concave mirror. How does the concave mirror help in heating the food? Indicate 'Yes' or 'No' for each statement.
How does the concave mirror heat the food?Yes/No
Sun’s rays are absorbed by the mirror.Yes/No
Sun’s rays reflected by the mirror converge at a point.Yes/No
Sun’s rays diverge out when reflected by the mirror.Yes/No

(N/A) $1$. Option $C$. By definition, the radius of curvature $R$ (distance $PC$) is twice the focal length $f$ (distance $PF$), i.e., $R = 2f$. This is a fundamental property of spherical mirrors.
$2$. Option $C$. Diagram $3$ shows the object placed between $C$ and $F$. The image formed is real, inverted, and enlarged (magnified).
$3$. Option $A$. A concave mirror produces a virtual, erect, and enlarged image only when the object is placed between the pole $P$ and the focus $F$.
$4$. The correct responses are:
- Sun’s rays are absorbed by the mirror: No (it reflects them).
- Sun’s rays reflected by the mirror converge at a point: Yes (this concentrates heat).
- Sun’s rays diverge out when reflected by the mirror: No.
