Question

You are given a concave mirror with focal length 40.0cm. Youstart with an object 50.0cm high at 160cm in front of themirror. A)What are the characteristics of the image? B)Now you move the object in toward the vertex of the mirror,ending with the object at a distance of 25.0 cm from the vertex.What are the new characteristics of the new image and describe thebehavior of the image in moving from A) to B) You are given a concave mirror with focal length 40.0cm.

Explanation / Answer

You are given a concave mirror with focal length 40.0cm. Youstart with an object 50.0cm high at 160cm in front of themirror. A)What are the characteristics of the image?
image is real .inverted,diminished.
B)Now you move the object in toward the vertex of the mirror,ending with the object at a distance of 25.0 cm from the vertex.What are the new characteristics of the new image and describe thebehavior of the image in moving from A) to B)
now object distance is less than the focal length
hence the image will be virtual ,erect and magnified.
as the object moves from position A to B it changes from invertedposition to erect position and changes from diminished tomagnified position
