Question

1. complete the ray diagram to show formation of the image. state the characteristics of the image (t1-4 marks)

Explanation:

Step1: Draw the ray parallel to the principal axis

A ray parallel to the principal axis will reflect through the focal point \( F \).

Step2: Draw the ray passing through the center of curvature

A ray passing through the center of curvature \( C \) will reflect back along its own path.

Step3: Locate the intersection point

The intersection point of the two reflected rays gives the position of the image.

Answer:

The image formed by a concave mirror when the object is between \( C \) and \( F \) is real, inverted and magnified.
