Question
An object is placed between a concave mirror and the focal point of the mirror. Which of the following is true?
The image is smaller than the object, real and inverted.
The image is smaller than the object, virtual and upright.
The image is bigger than the object, virtual and inverted.
The image is smaller than the object, real and upright.
The image is bigger than the object, real and upright.
The image is bigger than the object, real and inverted.
The image is bigger than the object, virtual and upright.
The image is smaller than the object, virtual and inverted.
Explanation / Answer
A spherical section having inside mirrored surface is called a concave mirror.
Object situated between the focal point and concave mirror, produces virtual, upright and enlarged image of the object.
Object situated between the focal point and centre of curvature, produces a real, inverted and enlarged image of the object.
Object situated beyond the centre of curvature, produces a real, inverted and reduced image of the object.
From the above three statements, we can conclude that the statement “The image is bigger than the object, virtual and upright” is true.
