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)

To construct ray diagrams, two rays of light are generally so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from a mirror. Choose two such rays and state the path/direction of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror. Use these two rays to find the position and nature of the image of an object placed at a distance of 8 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 12 cm.

While looking at the above diagram, Nalini concluded the following.
- the image of the object will be a virtual one.
- the reflected ray will travel along the same path as the incident ray but in opposite direction.
- the image of the object will be inverted.
- this is a concave mirror and hence the focal length will be negative.
Which one of the above statements are correct?
______ mirrors magnify the object placed close to them.
