Concave Mirror — Object inside FMediumQuestion 20197

Question

When an object is placed between the focus F and the pole P of a concave mirror, the image is:
  1. A
    Real, inverted, beyond C
  2. B
    Virtual, erect, behind the mirror, magnified
    Correct
  3. C
    Virtual, inverted
  4. D
    At infinity

Correct answer

Virtual, erect, behind the mirror, magnified

Explanation

For u < f in a concave mirror: using 1/v = 1/f − 1/u with |u| < |f|, v is positive → image is behind the mirror (virtual), erect, and magnified. This is the principle of a shaving/makeup mirror.
