Question

3. The image formed by a concave mirror is
larger in size than the object. Which of the
statements cannot be correct?
(a) The object lies between the focus and the
pole of the mirror.
(b) The object lies between the focus and the
centre of curvature of the mirror.
(c) The object and the image lie on the same
side of the principal axis.
(d) The object is beyond the centre of
curvature of the mirror.​

Answer 1

Answer :-

The statement cannot be correct in the given Question is (d) The object is beyond the Centre of Curvature of the mirror.

Because if we placed the object beyond Centre of Curvature (C) the image formed between focus and Centre of Curvature . In this case the image formed is smaller than the object and inverted .

Additional Information !!

• Focal length :- The distance between the pole and the focus is called Focal length .

• It is denoted by f

• SI unit of Focal Length is Dioptre (D).

Relationship between Focal length and Radius of Curvature are

• f = R/2

where,

f is the focal length

R is the radius of Curvature

• Radius of Curvature :- The distance between the pole and the Centre of Curvature is called the radius of Curvature.

• Pole :- The centre of the spherical mirror is called its Pole .
