Question

If the image formed by a concave mirror is half the size as that of the
object, what is the position of the object with respect to the mirror?
Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.

Answer 1

Answer:

Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images; they can be upright (if virtual) or inverted (if real); they can be behind the mirror (if virtual) or in front of the mirror (if real); they can also be enlarged, reduced, or the same size as object.

Explanation:

Draw ray-diagram to show the formation of images when the object is placed in front of a concave mirror(converging mirror): between its pole and focus. Describe the nature, size and position of the image formed in each case. (b) State one use of concave mirror based on the formation of image as in case (i) above
