Question

HELP PLEASE!

In a concave mirror, if an object is located beyond the center of curvature, what is the best description of the image formed?


(a) real, inverted, and at the same point as the object


(b) real, inverted, and larger than the object


(c) light rays travel parallel to each other, no image formed


(d) real, inverted, and smaller than the object

Answer 1

real, inverted and at the same point of the object

Answer 2

real, inverted, and smaller than the object

Step-by-step explanation:

When the object is placed beyond the center of curvature, the image will formed between the focus and the center of curvature. The size of the image is diminished and its nature is real and inverted.

The whole description is shown in the attached figure. It is clear that the size of the image is smaller than the object.

Hence, the correct option is (D) "real, inverted, and smaller than the object".
