After studying this activity 10.6 Class 10 Science Light- Reflection and Refraction, you will be able to solve Questions of Chapter 10 Light- Reflection and Refraction.

 

Activity 10.6 Class 10 Science NCERT

    ·     Observe the image of a distant object say a distant tree in a plane mirror.

    ·     Could you see a full-length image?

    ·     Try with plane mirrors of different sizes. Did you see the entire object in the image?

    ·     Repeat this activity with a concave mirror. Did the mirror show a full-length image of the object?

   ·     Now try this using a convex mirror. Did you succeed? Explain your observation with reason.

      

Observation of activity 10.6 Class 10 Science

When we see a distant tree in a plane mirror, we do not see a full-length image.

When we try with plane mirrors of different sizes, we found that the entire object in the image when the size of the plane mirror is a minimum of half  the size of the object.

When we see the distant tree in the concave mirror, we find a full-length image of the object for certain positions.

When we see the same object in the convex mirror, we always find the full-length image for any position of the object.

 

Explanation of activity 10.6 Class 10 Science

We can easily explain the reason behind the above activity.

i.               In a plane mirror, the size of the image is equal to the size of the object.

ii.           In a concave mirror, the size of the image is equal to or smaller than the size of the object for certain locations.

iii.        In a convex mirror, the image is virtual, erect, and smaller than the size of the object for any location.

Conclusion of activity 10.6 Class 10 Science

Activity 10.6 Class 10 science shows that the full-length image of the object can be formed by the convex mirror for any location.
