Question

Why is the image inverted in the centre of curvature.

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,
Light rays while reflecting obeys laws of reflection. So when an object placed at center of curvature they reflect in this way and forms inverted image of same size and at center of curvature. Its due to laws of reflection. This you can understand through ray diagram.

The image formed by a concave mirror is real, inverted and of the same size as the object. The position of the object must then be : (a) at the focus (b) between the centre of curvature and focus (c) at the centre of curvature (d) beyond the centre of curvature

Q. Choose the correct option.
Assertion: A person cannot see his inverted image in a concave mirror unless he is situated beyond the centre of curvature of the mirror.
Reason: In a concave mirror, image formed is real provided the object is situated between focal point and pole.

Q. When is an inverted image seen in a concave mirror?
(a) never
(b) the object is very far from the mirror
(c) the object is at the centre of curvature of the mirror.
(d) the object is within the focal length of the mirror.

The image formed by a concave mirror is real, inverted and highly diminished (much smaller than the object). The object must be : (a) between pole and focus (b) at focus (c) at the centre of curvature (d) at infinity
