Object placed beyond center of curvature C of a concave mirror gives image that is:
AReal, inverted, diminished, between F and C
BVirtual, erect
CAt infinity
DSame size at C
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Real, inverted, diminished, between F and C
**For concave mirror:** object beyond C (u > 2f)
→ image between F and C (f < v < 2f), real, inverted, diminished.
Standard imaging cases of concave mirror used in headlight reflectors (object at F gives parallel beam).
