The image formed by concave mirror is real, inverted and of the same size as that of the object. The position of the object should be

  1. Aat the focus
  2. Bat the centre of curvature
  3. Cbetween the focus and centre of curvature
  4. Dbeyond the centre of curvature

69th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) at the centre of curvature

Explanation

For a concave mirror, when the object is at the centre of curvature (C), the image forms at C itself.

This image is real, inverted and of the same size as the object (magnification = 1).

Other positions give magnified, diminished or virtual images, not equal-sized.
