Solution
The image formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed beyond the centre of curvature:
When an object is placed in front of a concave mirror, light rays from the object fall on the mirror and get reflected. The reflected rays produce an image at a point where they intersect each other.
Characteristics of the image:
- Position of object: beyond the centre of curvature
- Position of the image: Between the focus(F) and centre of curvature (C)
- Nature of the image: Real, inverted, diminished
