For a concave mirror, as an object moves from infinity towards the focus, the real image
- remains virtual throughout
- stays fixed at the centre of curvature
- moves from F towards infinity, growing larger
- moves from F towards the pole, shrinking
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. moves from F towards infinity, growing larger
Object at infinity → image at F (tiny).
As the object approaches F, the real image recedes from F towards infinity and grows.
At F the image is at infinity; inside F it becomes virtual.
