How You place a flower 18 feet from a concave mirror. The mirror generates a virtual image of the flower that appears to be behind the mirror. What can you infer about the focal point of the mirror?

When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
Convex
Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?
Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
What is the difference of a concave mirror to a convex?
Concave mirror* its reflecting surface is curved inwards*it can form both real and virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies in front of the mirror*it can form both enlarged and diminished imagesConvex mirror* its reflecting surface is curved outwards*it can form only virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies behind the mirror*it can form only diminished images
Where does your image appear to be when you look into a plane mirror?
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
What type of image does a plane mirror form?
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, erect, same size as object, and laterally inverted ( left side appears right and right side appears left ). Also, the virtual image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
Will an object inside a principal focus be smaller?
No, for a concave mirror the object will become larger. it is virtual the right way up and it is behind the mirror

Does concave lens produce a real image?
Because when you extend the light rays, they diverge and never meet. so you must always extend the light rays back behind the object, this will always result in the image being upright and erect. Meaning it will always be virtual, never real.

Where should the object be placed in order to produce a larger object behind a concave mirror?
The object should be necessarily be placed between the focal point of the concave mirror and the pole of the mirror to produce a larger image(not larger object) behind the concave mirror.
What is the science behind wind energy resource?
maybe that it generates electricity
Is it plain mirror or concave mirror producing magnified real image?
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
The image you see in a plane mirror appears to be at what distance?
behind the mirror. The object appears to be behind the mirror
What is the eyes behind the cave in virtual villagers?
The eyes behind the cave in virtual villagers is a black bear. I know this because I have been playing virtual villagers since I was four years old, and now I am eleven.
