Images Produced by Different Concave Mirrors Conceptual Question

The same object is placed at different distances d in front of six different concave spherical mirrors. Each mirror has the focal length f listed below.

Part A

Which, if any, of these scenarios produce a real image? Which, if any, of these scenarios produce a virtual image?

Sort the following scenarios into the appropriate bins.

Part C

Rank the images on the basis of the magnitude of their magnification.

Rank these from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Explanation / Answer

PART A)

When object is placed away from the focus of the mirror then it will produce the real image

PART B)

When object is placed between pole and focus then the image is virtual

PART C)

Magnification is more when object is closer to the focus and between centre of curvature

magnification decrease when we move away from the centre of curvature
