A convex mirror of focal length f forms an image of a distant object. The image is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A convex mirror of focal length f forms an image of a distant object. The image is
A. Real, erect, enlarged
B. Virtual, inverted, enlarged
C. Virtual, erect, diminished
D. Real, inverted, diminished
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Convex mirror diverges light, forms virtual, erect, diminished image behind mirror for any object position. Focal length positive by sign convention but image always virtual (upright). Used in rear-view mirrors.

Question #3
The working principle of LED is based on:
A. Heating effect of current
B. Fluorescence
C. Electroluminescence
D. Incandescence

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
LED (Light Emitting Diode) works on electroluminescence: when electrons recombine with holes in a semiconductor junction, energy is released as photons. This is distinct from incandescence (heating filament, like bulbs), fluorescence (absorb UV, emit visible), or heating effect. Memory aid: 'LED = semiconductor light emission; no filament'. This modern application question tests knowledge of everyday physics, common in competitive exams. Always link device to underlying phenomenon: LED (electroluminescence), laser (stimulated emission), solar cell (photovoltaic effect).
