An object is situated at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror . Draw ray diagram showing the formation of image
Answers
Answer:
One parallel to the principal axis and the other directed towards the centre of curvature of the mirror. These rays after reflection form an image between the centre of curvature (C) the focus (F). The image thus formed is diminished, real and inverted.
Answer:
Concave mirror
A hollow spherical can be made into a mirror by cutting it into pieces, painting the exterior surface, and using the interior surface as the reflecting surface. Concave mirrors are this kind of mirror.
Concave mirror characteristics
1. When light hits the concave mirror's reflecting surface, it converges at a single point and reflects back. This is why it is sometimes referred to as a converging mirror.
2. A magnified, upright, virtual picture can be obtained when the concave mirror is positioned very close to the object.
Let the points of the object placed at center of curvature, C is AB.
Nature - A real, inverted image of the same is formed at the center of curvature.
Position of image - Image formed is at C.
Size of image - equal to the object AB.
