Table 6.14 Position and characteristics of images by a concave mirror


Object position Ray diagram Image position Characteristics of image

Object at infinity At F Image is real, inverted and


v=f(focal length) diminished
In front of mirror

Object beyond C f<v<2f Image is real, inverted and


(u > 2f ) 1/2r < v < r diminished

Object at C v>2f Image is real, inverted and


(u = 2f ) v>r same size as object
Object between F U>2f Image is real, inverted and
and C v>r magnified
( f < u < 2f )

Object at F Image is virtual,upright and


(u = f ) magnified.
Refracted ray lines are parellel

Object between F v<0 Image is virtual, upright and


and P magnified
(u < f )
