Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the image formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror?
  • 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 the 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 coming from the object will diverge after reflecting off the mirror.
  • Step 5: Understand that the diverging rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror. This is where the virtual image is formed.
  • Step 6: Recognize that the virtual image formed is upright, meaning it is oriented in the same direction as the object.
