Concept explainers
To describe: Physical properties of image formed in the given figure.
Answer to Problem 60A
The image is real, inverted and enlarged.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is,
  
Here, mirror is concave and object is placed between center of curvature and focus.
Concave mirror: It is a type of spherical mirror. It has an inner curved reflecting surface. They are called converging mirror since the light rays converges after falling on to the mirror.
The converged rays pass through the focus of the mirror. A concave mirror is shown below:
  
Here, C is the center of curvature and F is the focus of the mirror.
When an object is placed between the center of curvature and the focus, the image formed is shown below:
  
Here, the physical properties of the image is
- Real image since the light rays actually meets in front of the mirror.
- The image formed is inverted.
- The image is enlarged since the size of image is more as compared to the object.
