Question

To have a real and enlarged image of an object by a concave mirror, the position of the object should be:

• A. At the centre of curvature (C)
• B. In between centre of curvature (C) and the focal point (F)
• C. At the pole (P) of the mirror
• D. In between pole (P) and the focal point (F) of the mirror

Hint:

When the object is placed between the centre of curvature and the focal point of a concave mirror, a real and enlarged image is formed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Position of the object for real and enlarged image.
To form a real and enlarged image using a concave mirror, the object should be placed between the centre of curvature (C) and the focal point (F).
When the object is between \( C \) and \( F \), the image formed is real, inverted, and enlarged.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct position of the object is in between the centre of curvature (C) and the focal point (F). Therefore, the correct answer is (B).
