Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The image formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror is: (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what a concave mirror is. A concave mirror is a mirror that curves inward, like a bowl.
  • Step 2: Identify the focal point of the concave mirror. The focal point is the point where light rays that are parallel to the mirror's axis converge.
  • Step 3: Place an object between the focal point and the mirror. This means the object is closer to the mirror than the focal point.
  • Step 4: Know that when the object is placed in this position, the light rays reflecting off the mirror diverge.
  • Step 5: Understand that the diverging rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror, which creates a virtual image.
  • Step 6: Recognize that a virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen because it is formed by rays that do not actually meet.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the virtual image formed is also erect, meaning it is upright and not inverted.
