Question

Under which of the following conditions a concave mirror can form an image larger than the actual object?

• A. When the object is kept at a distance equal to its radius of curvature
• B. When an object is kept at a distance less than its focal length
• C. When an object is placed between the focus and center of curvature
• D. When an object is kept at a distance greater than its radius of curvature

Answer 1

The correct option is C

When an object is placed between the focus and center of curvature

Concave mirror:

When a hollow spherical is divided into pieces and the outside surface of each cut portion is colored, it forms a mirror, well with the interior surface reflecting. A concave mirror is a name given to this sort of mirror.

Image formation:

1. If the item is in front of the center of curvature, the picture will be situated beyond it.
2. Regardless of where the item is between C and F, the picture will be located someplace beyond the center of curvature. In this instance, the picture will be reversed. The picture dimensions are larger than the objective measurements.

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
