Question
The image formed by a concave mirror is virtual, erect and magnified. The position of object is:
(a) at focus
(b) between focus and centre of curvature
(c) at pole
(d) between pole and focus
Solution
Between the pole and the focus
The reason being, the image formed by a concave mirror is virtual, erect and magnified. The position of the object is between the pole and the focus.
