Q. We wish to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror? What is the nature of the image? Is the image larger or smaller than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.

  2. the mirror is concave and lens is convex
  3. both Convex
  4. the mirror is convex but lens is concave

Q. The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object?
  1. Between the principal focus and centre of curvature
  2. At the centre of curvature
  3. Between the pole of mirror and its principal focus
  4. Beyond the centre of curvature
