Draw ray diagrams showing the image formation by a concave mirror when an object is placed
(a) between pole and focus of the mirror
(b) between focus and centre of curvature of the mirror
(c) at centre of curvature of the mirror
(d) a little beyond centre of curvature of the mirror
(e) at infinity
Explanation:-
Theory for Image Formation by a Concave Mirror:
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror with an inward-curved reflective surface. It forms different types of images depending on the position of the object relative to the mirror's pole (P), focus (F), and center of curvature (C).
(a) between pole and focus of the mirror
Virtual, erect, enlarged (behind the mirror)
(b) between focus and center of curvature of the mirror
Real, inverted, diminished (beyond C)
(c) at center of curvature of the mirror
Real, inverted, same size (at C)
(d) a little beyond center of curvature of the mirror
Real, inverted, diminished (between F and C)
(e) at infinity
Real, inverted, diminished (at F)
