Concept explainers
To draw: The location of image for the given object.
To describe: Physical properties of image formed by concave mirror for the given object.
Answer to Problem 72A
The location of image for the given object is shown in Figure 1.
Physical properties of image formed by concave mirror for the given object are real, inverted and diminished.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The object is located beyond the center of curvature.
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 beyond the center of curvature the image formed is shown below:
  
Figure 1
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 diminished since the size of image is small as compared to the object.
