Question

An object is placed upright on the axis of a concave sphericalmirror, as shown. The orientation and size of the image with respect to the object will be(a) inverted and smaller(b) inverted and larger(c) upright and smaller(d) upright and larger

Answer 1

From the image we notice that the object is located in front of the focal point of the mirror. We know that in this case the image will be located somewhere on the opposite side of the mirror. Regardless of exactly where in front of F the object is located, the image will always be located behind the mirror. In this case, the image will be an upright image. That is to say, if the object is right side up, then the image will also be right side up. In this case, the image is magnified; in other words, the image dimensions are greater than the object dimensions.

Therefore the answer is d.
