An object placed beyond the centre of curvature of a concave mirror forms an image that is
Areal, inverted and enlarged
Bvirtual, erect and enlarged
Cvirtual, erect and diminished
Dreal, inverted and diminished
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. real, inverted and diminished
1. For a concave mirror an object beyond C gives an image between F and C.
2. That image is real (rays actually meet), inverted, and smaller than the object.
3. This is used inside some optical instruments.
