How does a concave mirror form an image when an object is located at its center of curvature?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Real, inverted, and same size.
When an object is placed at the Center of Curvature (C) of a concave mirror, the rays of light originating from the object reflect according to specific laws. A ray parallel to the principal axis passes through the focus (F), and a ray passing through the focus becomes parallel to the axis. These reflected rays intersect exactly at point C. Consequently, the image formed is real (formed in front of the mirror), inverted (upside down), and of the exact same size as the object.
