QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Plane Mirrors.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
A person is standing in front of a plane mirror. If the person moves 1 m closer to the mirror, by how much does the distance between the person and their image change?
A person stands 3 m in front of a plane mirror. If the person moves 2 m away from the mirror, what is the new distance between the person and their image?
A plane mirror is placed on a wall. If you want to see your entire body, what is the minimum height at which the bottom edge of the mirror should be placed above the floor?
A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of 45° to the mirror surface. What is the angle of reflection with respect to the normal?
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 30° to the normal. What is the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray?
