Question

Draw ray diagram and state the properties of the image formed for an object kept, ​

1. between the focus and the centre of curvature of a concave mirror. ​

2. In front of a convex mirror.​

Answer 1

• When the object is kept in between the focus and the centre of curvature of the mirror.

  • We know that when an object is kept between C and F of the mirror, the image formed is real, inverted and diminished.

  • The ray diagram for the image formation is as shown.

• When an object is placed in front of a convex mirror.

  • We know that when an object is placed in front of a convex mirror, the image formed is virtual, erect and diminished.

  • The ray diagram for the image formation is as shown.
