When you look at your face in a steel spoon's inner curved surface, the image is:
AErect and enlarged
BErect and same size (option)
CInverted and diminished (the spoon acts like a concave mirror)
DColoured
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Inverted and diminished (the spoon acts like a concave mirror)
1. The inner curve of a spoon behaves like a concave mirror.
2. A face held some distance from such a mirror lies beyond the focal point.
3. The image is therefore real, inverted, and diminished.
