Q. It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave mirror of focal length of 12 cm.

(i) What should be the range of distance of an object placed in front of the mirror ?

(ii) Will the image be smaller or larger than the object. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case.

(iii) Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed 24 cm in front of the mirror? Draw ray a diagram for this situation to justify your answer.

Dear student Object lying at the focus of the convex mirror is virtual and hence its image is formed at infinity and the image is formed on the same side as the incoming rays and image formed is realRegards
