Draw the ray diagram when the object is placed beyond the centre of curvature of a concave mirror

Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image of an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of a concave mirror. State the position, size and nature of the image.

OBJECT PLACED BEYOND C: Image is formed :

A real, inverted and smaller image is formed between the centre of curvature and focusPosition: between C and F.

Size smaller than an object.

Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image of an object placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror. State the position, size and nature of the image.

Object placed at C :

A real, inverted image of the same size is formed at the centre of curvatureImage formedA ‘B’ is at C the centre of curvature.Size is equal to the size of object AB.

It is inverted and real.

Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image of an object placed between the focus and centre of curvature of a concave mirror. State the position, size and nature of the image.

OBJECT PLACED BETWEEN C and F :

A real, inverted and magnified image is formed beyond the centre of curvatureThe image formed A’B’ is beyond C ← positionEnlarged ← size

inverted and real ← nature

Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image of an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror. State the position, size and nature of the image.

OBJECT LIES BETWEEN FOCUS AND POLE :

A virtual erect and bigger image is formed behind the mirrorImage formed A’B’ is on the other side of the mirror on producing ← positionEnlarged (magnified) ← size

Virtual and erect ← nature
