Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

An object is placed at the focus of a concave mirror. What type of image is formed?
  • Step 1: Understand what a concave mirror is. A concave mirror is a mirror that curves inward, like the inside of a bowl.
  • Step 2: Identify the focus of the concave mirror. The focus is a point where light rays that are parallel to the mirror's axis converge after reflecting off the mirror.
  • Step 3: Place an object at the focus of the concave mirror. This means the object is located at the point where the light rays converge.
  • Step 4: Observe what happens to the light rays. When light rays come from the object at the focus, they reflect off the mirror and become parallel.
  • Step 5: Determine the type of image formed. Since the reflected rays are parallel, they do not meet at a point to form an image.
  • Step 6: Conclude that no image is formed when the object is at the focus of a concave mirror.
  • Concave Mirror Properties – Understanding how concave mirrors form images based on the position of the object relative to the focal point.
  • Image Formation – Knowledge of how light rays behave when they reflect off concave mirrors and the implications for image characteristics.
