Image Formation By Concave Mirror
By changing the position of the object from the concave mirror, different types of images can be formed. Different types of images are formed when the object is placed:
- At the infinity
- Beyond the center of curvature
- At the center of curvature
- Between the center of curvature and principal focus
- At the principal focus
- Between the principal focus and pole
When an object the is placed at infinity
When an object is placed behind the center of curvature, a real image is formed between the center of curvature and focus. The size of the image is smaller than compared to that of the object.
When an object is placed behind the center of curvature
When an object is placed at the center of curvature and focus, the real image is formed at the center of curvature. The size of the image is the same as compared to that of the object.
When an object is placed at the center of curvature and focus
When an object is placed in between the center of curvature and focus
When an object is placed in between the center of curvature and focus, the real image is formed behind the center of curvature. The size of the image is larger than compared to that of the object.
When an object is placed in between the center of curvature and focus
When an object is placed at the focus, the real image is formed at infinity. The size of the image is much larger than compared to that of the object.
When an object is placed at the focus
When an object is placed in between focus and pole, a virtual and erect image is formed. The size of the image is larger than compared to that of the object.
When an object is placed in between focus and pole
When an object is placed in between focus and pole, a virtual and erect image is formed. The size of the image is larger then compared to that of object.
