Question

We get a diminished image with a concave mirror when the object is placed:

• A. Between the focus and the mirror
• B. At the focus
• C. Beyond the center of curvature
• D. At the center of curvature

Hint:

For a concave mirror, the position of the object determines the size and nature of the image.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Position of the Object.
When the object is placed beyond the center of curvature of a concave mirror, the image formed is diminished, real, and inverted. Step 2: Image Formation.
The image will be formed between the focal point and the center of curvature, making it smaller and real. Step 3: Conclusion.
Hence, a diminished image is formed when the object is placed beyond the center of curvature in a concave mirror.
