Question:
Draw a ray diagram to show image formation by a concave mirror when the object is placed between focus and center of curvature.
Draw a ray diagram to show image formation by a concave mirror when the object is placed between focus and center of curvature.
Show Hint
When the object is between F and C in a concave mirror, the image is real, inverted, and magnified — formed beyond C.

Solution and Explanation
Position of Object: Between the focus (F) and the center of curvature (C) in front of a concave mirror.
Ray Diagram Description:
Draw a ray parallel to the principal axis → reflects through the focus.
Draw a ray through the center of curvature → reflects back along the same path.
The image forms beyond the center of curvature.
Nature of Image:
Real and inverted
Enlarged
Formed beyond the center of curvature
Ray Diagram Description:
