In each of the questions, assertion(A) is given by corresponding statement of reason (R) of the statemens. Mark the correct answer.
Q. Statement I: The formula connecting u,v and f for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.
Statement II: Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surfaces.

A

Statement- 1 is true, Statement- 2 is True, Statement- is a correct explanation for Statement- 1

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement- 1

C

Statement- 1 is True, Statement- 2 is False

D

Statement- 1 is False, Statement- 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Statement 1:
NOTE: The mirror (spherical) formula `(1)/(u)+(1)/(v)=(1)/(f)` is valid only for mirrors of small apertures where the size of aperture is very small as compared to the radius of curvature of the mirror. This statement is true.
Statement 2:
NOTE: Laws of mirror are valid for plane as well as large spherical sufaces.
Therefore, statement 2 is wrong.

The formula connecting u,v and f for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature. Because Statement-2 Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but nor for large spherical surfaces.s

Statement - 1 : The formula connecting u, v and f for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature. Because Statement - 2 : Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surfaces.

Assertion The formula connecting u, v and f for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors sizes which are very small compared to their radii of curvature. Reason Laws of reflection are stricity valid for plane surface, but not for large spherical.

Assertion:- The formula ((1)/(4)+(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)) connecting u and v for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirros whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvatures. Reason:- Laws of reflection are strictly valid for smaller size of of optical system.
