What will be the size of the image formed by a concave mirror when an object is placed between the Pole and the Focus?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Enlarged
Image Formation by a Concave Mirror:
- For a real object very far away from the mirror, the real image is formed at the focus.
- For a real object close to the mirror but outside of the center of curvature, the real image is formed between the pole and focus. The image is inverted and smaller than the object.
- For a real object at the pole, the real image is formed at the pole. The image is inverted and the same size as the object.
- For a real object between the pole and the focus, a real image is formed outside of the pole. The image is inverted and larger than the object (Enlarged).
- For a real object at f, no image is formed. The reflected rays are parallel and never converge.
