Question

In a concave mirror, if an object is located between the center of curvature and the focal point, what is the best way to describe the image formed?

Real, inverted, and smaller than the object


Real, inverted, and larger than the object


light rays travel parallel to each other, no other image is formed.


Real, inverted, and the same size as the object.

Answer 1

Real, inverted, and larger than the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is reflected, therefore it would be inverted because it reflects and flips light. It would be larger and real because it reflects whatever is facing the mirror and would be closer reflecting the curvature.

Answer 2

The image formed in a concave mirror when an object is located between C and F is real, inverted, and larger than the object or magnified. Wherever the object may be between the center of curvature and focus, the concave mirror will always produce a magnified version of an object that is farther from the center of curvature. The image produced is real because light rays would converge to where the object is located.
