Concave Mirror

[poll id=”158″]

ANSWER

ANSWER: B. Virtual, upright, larger in size

It is VERY IMPORTANT to know the rules of image and object configuration for both concave and convex mirrors in regards to the focal point. You will see at least a handful of these type of problems on the physics OAT section. These questions are EASY points that require little thinking. Be sure you have optics mastered in general. It might be the least difficult content on the physics OAT that provides key point boosters.

The ray diagram below demonstrates the formation of the image from the object in the concave mirror. The image is upright, virtual (“behind” the mirror) and larger than the original object.
