Can verify the position of virtual image, which cannot be exactly identified by activity method, using ray
diagrams.

Answer:
Which of the Rays in the diagram could not be used to locate the image by the method of ray tracing?
Which of the rays in the diagram could not be used to locate the image by the method of ray tracing? the image is virtual. A negative image distance means that the image is behind the mirror and, hence, is a virtual image
Answer:
The theme of this unit has been that we see an object because light from the object travels to our eyes as we sight along a line at the object. Similarly, we see an image of an object because light from the object reflects off a mirror and travel to our eyes as we sight at the image location of the object. From these two basic premises, we have defined the image location as the location in space where light appears to diverge from. Ray diagrams have been a valuable tool for determining the path taken by light from the object to the mirror to our eyes. In this section of Lesson 3, we will investigate the method for drawing ray diagrams for objects placed at various locations in front of a concave mirror.
