How does a concave mirror form the image of a point object?

The concave mirror forms an image and that depends on the two parameters: the object distance and the focal length of the mirror. If the object is placed between the pole and the focus of aconcave mirror, a magnified and erect virtual is found to be formed.

When a point object is placed in front of a concave mirror at the Centre of curvature where will the image be formed?

Detailed Solution. An object is placed in front of a concave mirror at a point between its focus and centre of curvature. The image formed will be Real, Inverted and enlarged. The position of the image will be beyond the centre.

In which position of the object in front of a concave mirror we get the image of the same size of the object?

center of curvature
(a) The position of object for which the image is formed by a concave mirror is of the same size is at the center of curvature.

What image is formed by concave mirror?

Concave mirrors form both real and virtual images. When the concave mirror is placed very close to the object, a virtual and magnified image is obtained and if we increase the distance between the object and the mirror, the size of the image reduces and real images are formed.

How is the image formed by a convex mirror?

Image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and erect. When an object is placed at infinity, virtual image is formed at focus and the size of the image is smaller….Question 5.

What image is formed by a convex mirror?

virtual and erect
Image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and erect. When an object is placed at infinity, virtual image is formed at focus and the size of the image is smaller.

Where is the image of an object placed in front of a convex mirror formed?

The convex mirror always forms the image which is smaller than the size of the object. When an object is placed in front of a convex mirror at a point between infinity and the pole of the mirror. The image formed is virtual and diminished.

Where will the image be formed by a concave mirror when the object is kept at focus *?

When an object is kept within the focus of a concave mirror, an enlarged image is formed behind the mirror. This image is virtual and erect.

When an object is placed very close to a concave mirror?

When the object is placed very close to the concave mirror, then the images will get magnified and gives a virtual image. When the same object’s distance is increased from the mirror, the concave mirror produces a real image.

What happens to the image formed when a mirror is reflected?

These rays after reflection converge and form an image at F, the principal focus of the mirror, in front of the mirror. The image thus formed is highly diminished, point size, real and inverted. In this situation we consider two different rays emerging from the object.

Do concave mirrors produce real or virtual images?

Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images; they can be upright (if virtual) or inverted (if real); they can be behind the mirror (if virtual) or in front of the mirror (if real); they can also be enlarged, reduced, or the same size as object.

What are the four ray diagrams of concave mirrors?

The four ray diagrams of concave mirrors are given below: (i) A ray parallel to the principal axis, after reflection, will pass through the principal focus (F). (ii) A ray passing through the principal axis, after reflection, will emerge parallel to the principal axis.
