Question
Under which of the following conditions a concave mirror can form an image larger than the actual object?
Options
When the object is kept at a distance equal to its radius of curvature
When object is kept at a distance less than its focal length
When object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature
When object is kept at a distance greater than its radius of curvature
Solution
When object is placed between the focus and centre of curvature
Explanation -
In case of a concave mirror, when the object is kept between the focus and the centre of curvature, real, inverted and enlarged image is formed.
