Question
An object is placed between the focus and the pole of a concave mirror. The image formed is _______.
The correct answer is
virtual and upright
Concave Mirror Image Properties
When an object is positioned between the pole (P) and the principal focus (F) of a concave mirror, the reflected rays diverge.
To find the image location, these diverging rays are traced back behind the mirror. They appear to meet at a point, forming the image.
Characteristics of the image formed in this specific scenario:
- Nature: Virtual (since it's formed by the apparent intersection of rays behind the mirror).
- Orientation: Upright (or erect, meaning it has the same orientation as the object).
- Size: Magnified (larger than the object).
Therefore, the image formed is virtual and upright.
