Question #1
The focal length of a concave mirror is 20 cm. An object is placed at 30 cm from the mirror. The image distance is:
A. 30 cm
B. 60 cm
C. 20 cm
D. 12 cm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Mirror formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. Sign convention: f negative for concave mirror? Wait, standard Cartesian: f = -20 cm (concave), u = -30 cm (object real). Thus 1/(-20) = 1/(-30) + 1/v ⇒ -1/20 = -1/30 + 1/v ⇒ 1/v = -1/20 + 1/30 = (-3+2)/60 = -1/60 ⇒ v = -60 cm. Magnitude 60 cm, negative sign indicates real image in front of mirror. Many exams use magnitude-only options; here 60 cm is correct. Memory tip: 'Concave mirror: object beyond C (2f) ⇒ image between F and C, real, inverted'. This numerical tests mirror formula application with sign conventions, crucial for optics in competitive exams.

Question #2
The power of a lens is +2 D. Its focal length is
A. 0.5 m
B. 2 m
C. 50 cm
D. 20 cm

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Power P = 1/f (in metre). f = 1/P = 1/2 = 0.5 m = 50 cm. Positive power indicates convex lens. For concave lens, power negative. Dioptre (D) is SI unit of power. Remember f in metres.

Question #3
In simple harmonic motion, acceleration is directly proportional to
A. Displacement but opposite in direction
B. Square of displacement
C. Velocity
D. Time

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In SHM, a = -ω²x, acceleration ∝ -displacement. Minus sign indicates direction towards mean position (restoring). Characteristic of SHM. Pendulum and spring-mass system exhibit SHM for small displacements.
