An object is brought towards a concave mirror. How does the position and size of the image change?
Short/Brief Note

Solution

When an object is brought towards the concave mirror, the position of the image moves away from the mirror, and the size increases and it remains inverted but at object position between F and P, the image is virtual, magnified, and erect.

A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12 cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24 cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. If the object is now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected?

How will you distinguish between a plane mirror, a concave mirror and a convex mirror without touching them?

The diagram below shows the parallel rays incident on a convex mirror. C is the centre of the curvature of the mirror. By drawing the paths of the reflected rays, label the focus F and hence find the focal length of the mirror.
