How does the location of the object affects the characteristics and location of the image formed in a concave mirror?

The location of the object in relation to the focal point of a concave mirror affects the characteristics and location of the image formed. If the object is beyond the focal point, a real and inverted image is formed between the focal point and the mirror. If the object is within the focal point, a virtual and upright image is formed on the same side as the object.


The law of reflection is all that is needed to establish the image location for an image formed by a?

plane mirror. The image location will be the same distance behind the mirror as the object's distance in front of the mirror.


What is the only location a converging mirror will not produce an image?

A converging mirror will not produce a real image if the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. In this case, the mirror will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object.


Which describes how to generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror?

To generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror, place the object farther from the mirror than its focal point. The real image will be formed on the same side of the mirror as the object, and it will be inverted and magnified. Adjust the distance between the object and the mirror to focus the image at the desired location.


What name is given to the reflection of an object in the mirror?

The reflection of an object in the mirror is called a mirror image.

How does the images change in its size and location as the object comes nearer the convex mirror?

this will depend.


Why do you look at a spoon and you see yourself upsidedown?

To view an object in any type of mirror, a person must sight along a line at the image of the object. All persons capable of seeing the image must sight along a line of sight directed towards the precise image location. As a person sights in a mirror at the image of an object, there will be a reflected ray of light coming from the mirror to that person's eye. The origin of this light ray is the object. A multitude of light rays from the object are incident on the mirror in a variety of directions; yet as you sight at the image, only a small portion of the many rays will reflect off the mirror and travel to your eye. To see an object in a mirror, you must sight at the image; and when you do reflected rays of light will travel from the mirror to your eye along your line of sight. Not all people who are viewing the object in the mirror will sight along the same geometrical line of sight. The precise direction of the sight line depends on the location of the object, the location of the person, and the type of mirror. Yet all of the lines of sight, regardless of their direction, will pass through the image location. In fact, the image location is defined as the location where reflected rays intersect. Since all people see a reflected ray of light as they sight at an image in the mirror, then the image location must be the intersection point of these reflected rays. If an object is positioned above the principal axis of a concave mirror and somewhere beyond the center of curvature. The concave mirror will produce an image of the object which is inverted (positioned below the principal axis) and located between the center of curvature and the focal point of the mirror.

What will the image produced by a concave mirror be?

A concave mirror can produce a real or virtual image, depending on the location of the object. Real images are formed in front of the mirror and can be projected onto a screen, while virtual images are formed behind the mirror and cannot be projected. The characteristics of the image, such as magnification and orientation, are determined by the mirror's focal length and the object's distance from it.


What will the object distance be equal to when using concave mirror only?

When using a concave mirror, the object distance (distance of the object from the mirror) can vary depending on where the object is placed. If the object is located beyond the focal point of the mirror, the object distance will be positive. If the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point, the object distance will be negative.


Is the distance from the object to the mirror is less than the apparent from the image?

The distance from the object to the mirror is equal to the distance from the image to the mirror in a plane mirror. The image appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, so the apparent distance from the image to the mirror is equal to the actual distance from the object to the mirror.


How does image change in its size and location as the object comes nearer the concave mirror?

this will depend.
