8.      2000 Q9 P1
Fig. 5 shows an object O placed in front of a plane mirror.
Picture
On the same diagram draw rays to locate the position of the image I, as seen from the eye E.
9.          2001 Q8 P1
Fig. 6 shows an object O being viewed using two inclined mirrors M1 and M2.
Complete the diagram by sketching rays to show the position of the image as seen by the eye E.
Picture
10.          2003 Q8 P1
Figure 6 shows a ray of light being reflected from a mirror.
Picture
What is the angle of reflection?
11.          2004 Q7 P1
Figure 5 shows two mirrors inclined at an angle of 600 to each other.  A ray of light is shown
Picture
Sketch the same diagram, the path of the ray until it leaves the two mirrors.  Indicate the angles at each reflection.

12.          2005 Q6 P1
Fig 5. Shows an arrangement of a source of light, an opaque object and a screen.
Picture
Using A, B and C as point sources, sketch on the same figure labelled ray diagram to show what is observed on the screen.  (2 marks)

13.          2006 Q2 P2
In a certain pinhole camera, the screen is 10cm from the pinhole. When the camera is placed 6m away from a tree, a sharp image of the tree 16cm high is formed on the screen. Determine the height of the tree.
14.          2007 Q1 P2
Figure 1 represents a pinhole camera
Picture
Sketch rays to show the formation of an enlarged image in the camera. Label both the object and the image           (2 marks)

15.          2008 Q1 P2
Figure 1 shows three point sources of light with an opaque object placed between them and the screen.
Picture
Explain the nature of the shadow formed along B and C.   (2marks)
16.          2009 Q1 P2
State the number of images formed when an object is between two plane mirrors placed  in parallel  (1mark)
