Draw a ray diagram for concave mirror when the object is between centre of curvature and focus.

उत्तर
When the object is between the centre of curvature and the focus of a concave mirror

Here, Object AB is kept between C and F
First, we draw a ray parallel to principal axis
So, it passes through focus after reflection
We draw another ray which passes through Center of Curvature
So, the ray will go back along the same path after reflection
Where both reflected rays meet is point A'
And the image formed is A'B'
This image is formed between beyong Center(C)
We can say that
Image is in Front of the mirror (Real image)
Image is Inverted
Image is larger than the object (Magnified)

A student has focused the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a concave mirror. The situation is as given below:
Length of the flame = 1.5 cm
