TUTO 1 Geometrical Optics

This document provides solutions to 11 problems involving geometrical optics concepts like reflection and refraction. 1) The position of the image formed by a convex mirror is calculated as (20 cm, 10 cm behind the mirror). 2) For an object placed 5 cm in front of a concave mirror with a 10 cm focal length, the image is located at (-10 cm) and is virtual, upright and enlarged. 3) Ray diagrams are drawn to show image formation for an object placed at different positions in front of a concave mirror. 4) For an object 12 cm from a spherical mirror forming an erect 1/3 size image, the mirror is determined to be diverging with a radius
