Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions from (i) to (v):
Binoculars, like telescopes, produce magnified images of far away objects. Figure shows a typical binocular design. Each side of the binoculars is like a small telescope: light enters a convex objective lens, which inverts the image. The light then travels through two prisms that are used to completely reflect the incoming ray to invert the image again, so that the viewer sees an image that is upright compared to the object.

(i) Binocular is basically a:
microscope
telescope
dispersion device
magnifying glass

Light is a form of energy that produces in the sensation of sight. Reflection of light is the phenomenon of bouncing back of light in the same medium on striking the surface of any object.
The two laws of reflection are the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal (at the point of incidence), all lie in the same plane and the angle of reflection (r) is always equal to the angle of incidence (i). Refraction of light is the phenomenon of change in the path of light in going from one medium to another.

(i) Mirage is caused due to:
total Internal Reflection of light by the various layers of air
illusion of the presence of water
result of refraction of light from a non uniform medium
during sunny days when driving on a roadway

Rear view mirror is a device that allows the driver to see rearward. It usually finds its place at the top of windscreen in side of the cabin. This device is one of the most basic but essential safety devices in the vehicle. It provides assistance to the driver during overtaking, parking in reverse gear etc. Generally, vehicles also have a pair of mirrors attached to the body from outside. They are popular as ‘side mirrors’ or Outer Rear View Mirrors (ORVM) which serve the same purpose.
Almost all modern cars mount their side mirrors on the doors—normally at a pillar rather than the wings (the portion of the body above the wheel well).

(i) For a real object, which of the following can produce a real image?
Plane mirror
Concave mirror
Convex mirror
None of the above
