Draw a ray diagram showing how a concave mirror can be used to produce a real, inverted and diminished image of an object.

Q. For which positions of the object does a concave mirror produce an inverted, magnified and real image?

Q. (a) Draw a ray diagram to show image formation when the concave mirror produces a real, inverted and magnified image of the object.
(b) Obtain the mirror formula and write the expression for the linear magnification.
(c) Explain two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.

Q. The image formed by a concave mirror is real, inverted and highly diminished. The position of the object must be:

Q. Use the mirror equation to deduce that:
(a) an object placed between $f$ and $2f$ of a concave mirror produces a real image beyond $2f$.
(b) a convex mirror always produces a virtual image independent of the location of the object.
(c) the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located between the focus and the pole.
(d) an object placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror produces a virtual and enlarged image.
[Note: This exercise helps you deduce algebraically properties of images that one obtains from explicit ray diagrams.]
