An object is lying in between the main focus (F) and pole (P) of a concave
mirror. Show the position of the image of this object with the help of ray
diagram
Answers
Answer:
When the object is placed between principle focus and pole of a concave mirror , an enlarged , virtual and erect image is formed by the mirror . Position of mirror Behind the mirror
Explanation:
Formation of Image by a concave mirror:-
Formation of image depends upon the position of the object. There are six possibilities of the position of object in the case of concave mirror.
Object at infinity
Object between infinity and centre of curvature (C)
Object at centre of curvature (C)
Object between centre of curvature (C) and Principal focus (F)
Object at Principal Focus (F)
Object between Principal Focus (F) and Pole (P)
(a) Object at infinity:-
Since parallel rays coming from the object converge at principal focus, F of a concave mirror; after reflection. Hence, when the object is at infinity the image will form at F.
Concave mirror - object at infinity
Position of image :– At F (Principal focus)
Properties of image:-
Point sized
Highly diminished
Real and inverted.
