What happens to the image distance when the object is moved closer to a concave mirror? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that a concave mirror is a mirror that curves inward, like a bowl.
  • Step 2: Know that when an object is placed in front of a concave mirror, it creates an image.
  • Step 3: When the object is far from the mirror, the image is small and close to the mirror.
  • Step 4: As you move the object closer to the mirror, the image distance (how far the image is from the mirror) starts to increase.
  • Step 5: At the same time, the image becomes larger and appears further away from the mirror.
