Question

When used for its intended purpose, a make-up mirror causes a person's face to look larger and right-side-up.
What kind of mirror is a make-up mirror and where should the person be located relative to the focal point ($f$) to get the desired image?

• A. Type of Mirror - convex, Location of Person - between $f$ and $2f$
• B. Type of Mirror - concave, Location of Person - between $f$ and $2f$
• C. Type of Mirror - concave, Location of Person - closer than $f$ to the mirror
• D. Type of Mirror - convex, Location of Person - closer than $f$ to the mirror
• E. Type of Mirror - plane, Location of Person - anywhere in front of the mirror
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Type of Mirror - concave, Location of Person - closer than $f$ to the mirror

When an object is placed between the pole and focus of the concave mirror, then the mirror forms a virtual, erect (or upright) and larger image of the object.

Hence option C is correct.
