Question

A concave mirror produces an image that is real, inverted, and diminished. What is the position of the object in relation to the mirror?

• A. At the focal point
• B. Between the focus and the mirror
• C. Beyond twice the focal length
• D. Between the focus and twice the focal length

Hint:

For a concave mirror, when the object is beyond \(2f\), the image formed is real, inverted, and diminished.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

For a concave mirror, the image formed is real, inverted, and diminished when the object is placed beyond twice the focal length (\(2f\)). The mirror equation is: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}, \] where \(f\) is the focal length, \(v\) is the image distance, and \(u\) is the object distance. If the object is beyond \(2f\), the image formed is real, inverted, and diminished. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Beyond twice the focal length}}. \]
