Question

It is observed that when an object placed in front of a spherical mirror, a real and enlarged image is formed. The type of mirror used and position of object are respectively :

• A. Concave, between 'P' and 'F'
• B. Concave, beyond 'C'
• C. Concave, between 'C' and 'F'
• D. Convex, between 'C' and 'F'

Answer 1

The correct option is C Concave, between 'C' and 'F'

Image formed is real i.e. it must be inverted. Hence, type of mirror used is concave.
Here image formed is enlarged, this happens when object is placed between centre of curvature (C) and focus (F). The enlarged and real image is formed beyond 'C'.
