When do an object and its image coincide in a convergent mirror?
Answers
Object at C of concave mirror
Explanation:
Concave mirror is a spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface bulges inwards. A concave mirror is a converging mirror and the incident light rays are reflected inwards towards the focal point. So, these mirrors help focus light.
When the object is kept at the centre of curvature of the concave mirror, the image formed by converging the light rays from the object will coincide with the object. The image so formed will be at the centre of curvature as well and it will be the same size as the object.
Please refer to the attached picture for a ray diagram.
Answer:
Explanation:
A convergent mirror is actually a concave mirror.
, when the object is kept at the centre of curvature of the concave mirror, the image of the object coincides with the object, because the image is formed at the centre of curvature and is of the same size as the object.
