Question

A spherical mirror is obtained as shown in the figure from a hollow glass sphere. If an object is positioned in front of the mirror, what will be the nature and magnification of the image of the object? (Figure drawn as schematic and not to scale)

• A. Inverted, real and magnified
• B. Erect, virtual and magnified
• C. Erect, virtual and unmagnified
• D. Inverted, real and unmagnified

Answer 1

The correct option is D Inverted, real and unmagnified

The object is placed beyond the centre of curvature $\left(C\right)$ of the concave mirror.

Therefore, the image formed is real, inverted and diminished or unmagnified.



Hence, option $\left(D\right)$ is correct.
