Chapter 17, Problem 1STP

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 1STP

D. Past the center of curvature. 

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The ray diagrams are used to construct the images to determine the size, location, orientation, and type of image that can be formed by the concave mirrors. 

The image (size, shape) and the location where an object is placed at the concave mirror are related.

Generally, the concave mirror can produce both the real and virtual images. The images are upright if they are virtual or inverted if they are real. 

The object can be past the centre of curvature if the image is smaller than the object.

Conclusion: 

Thus, option D is correct.
