2. Practice, above all. The range of questions in class 7 is limited. With substantial practice, most question types will be internalized, and you won’t have to think for most questions.

3. Develop a good understanding of topics. It will help you with those challenging questions or derive formulae in the rare chance you forget. This can be done by watching videos for various topics that will help you develop an interest in the topic.

4. Understand all the concepts in as much depth as you can. And then solve different varieties of questions and problems. Attempt various topic-wise and chapter-wise tests. Also, practice mre with sample papers and previous year papers. Use your knowledge to solve some real life questions as well.

Light travels in a straight line and is composed of seven colors. Rainbows is a natural phenomenon which supports this. Light also reflects back when is incident on a smooth surface. Mirrors are based on the same concept. Image is formed in the plane mirror due to reflection of light. The image formed is virtual, erect and laterally inverted.You see so many other types of optical objects also around you, like spoon, rear view mirrors in vehicle, magnifying glasses, mirrors at blind turns, shaving mirrors etc. Some of them form real image and some also forms virtual images. The mirror which is bulged out is convex mirror. It forms erect, virtual image which is smaller in size. It is also used as magnifying glass. The mirror which is bulged in is concave mirror. It can form both real and virtual image.

• Properties of Light and Reflection
• Image Formed by Plane Mirror
