Where would the image be formed by a convex mirror if the object is placed:

(a) between infinity and pole of the mirror?
(b) at infinity?
Draw labelled ray-diagrams to show the formation of image in both the case.

Open in App
Solution

Following are the ray-diagrams to show the formation of image, by a convex mirror, of the same object but in different locations:
(a) between infinity and pole of the mirror


The image will be virtual, magnified and behind the mirror when the object is between the infinity and focus of the mirror.

(b) at infinity

The image will be virtual, diminished and behind the mirror when the object is at infinity.
