Problem

Describe how the nature, size and position of the image formed by a concave mirror change as an object is gradually brought from a very large distance toward the pole along the principal axis. For each position listed below, draw a neat, labelled ray diagram and clearly state: • Position of the image (with respect to P, F and C) • Nature of the image (real/virtual, erect/inverted) • Relative size of the image (diminished/same size/enlarged) (i) Object at infinity (ii) Object beyond C (iii) Object at C (iv) Object between C and F (v) Object at F (vi) Object between F and P
