Consider the following diagram in which M is a mirror and P is an object and Q is its magnified image formed by the mirror.
State the type of the mirror M and one characteristic property of the image Q.
To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two rays and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror. Use these two rays to find the nature and position of the image of an object placed at a distance of 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm.
