If an object is placed between the principal focus and the pole of a concave mirror, what will the image be?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a real and inverted
- b virtual and upright
- c virtual and diminished
- d real and magnified
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b virtual and upright
An object between the focus and the pole gives an image behind the mirror: virtual, upright and magnified. A real image would be inverted, and the image here is not smaller.
Why the other options are wrong
- a real and inverted: This is not the answer: An object between the focus and the pole gives an image behind the mirror: virtual, upright and magnified. A real image would be inverted, and the image here is not smaller.
- c virtual and diminished: This is not the answer: An object between the focus and the pole gives an image behind the mirror: virtual, upright and magnified. A real image would be inverted, and the image here is not smaller.
- d real and magnified: This is not the answer: An object between the focus and the pole gives an image behind the mirror: virtual, upright and magnified. A real image would be inverted, and the image here is not smaller.
