Which of the following is a characteristic of the image formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror? (2019)
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 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 image formed in this case is virtual. A virtual image means it cannot be projected onto a screen because the light rays do not actually meet.
Step 6: Recognize that the virtual image is also erect, meaning it appears upright, not upside down.
