Mirrors: Reflection off of a Concave Mirror

The video tutorial explains how images are formed by a mirror depending on the object's position relative to the center of curvature and the focal point. When the object is beyond the center of curvature, the image is smaller and inverted. At the center of curvature, the image is the same size but inverted. Between the center and focal point, the image is larger and inverted. At the focal point, no image is formed. Closer to the mirror, a virtual, upright, and larger image is formed.

What happens to the image when an object is placed beyond the center of curvature of a mirror?

• The image is the same size and upright.

• The image is larger and upright.

• No image is formed.

• The image is smaller and inverted.

Where is the image formed when an object is placed at the center of curvature?

• No image is formed.

• Beyond the center of curvature.

• At the center of curvature.

• At the focal point.

If an object is moved between the center of curvature and the focal point, how does the image change?

• The image becomes smaller and upright.

• The image becomes larger and inverted.

• No image is formed.

• The image becomes the same size and upright.

What occurs when an object is placed at the focal point of a mirror?

• The image is smaller and upright.

• The rays are parallel and no image is formed.

• The image is larger and inverted.

• A virtual image is formed.

When an object is between the focal point and the mirror, what type of image is formed?

• No image is formed.

• A real, inverted image.

• A smaller, inverted image.

• A virtual, upright image.
