Concept explainers
The location of the object if it produces a virtual image in a concave mirror.
Answer to Problem 47A
In between the mirror and its focus point in front of the mirror.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Mirror equation,
Where,
A concave mirror always produced a real and an inverted image of an object except for the case when the object distance is less than the focal length. For this case, the image distance comes out to be negative, that is the image is formed behind the mirror or the image is a virtual one.
If
Conclusion:
Hence, if the object is located in between the concave mirror and its focus, the image produced by it will be virtual.
