NEET Physics Optical Instruments MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about image formation by a concave mirror is correct?
The image is always real and inverted when the object is beyond the focal point.
The image is virtual and upright for all object positions.
The image size is larger than the object when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror.
The image distance is always negative for real images formed by concave mirrors.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the mirror equation, a concave mirror forms a real and inverted image when the object is placed beyond the focal point. Option A accurately describes this scenario, while the other options present incorrect statements regarding image formation.
