An object placed 10cm from a concave mirror of focal length 5cm would have its image
A
at the centre of convature
B
at the radius of curvature
C
at infinity
D
10 cm from the focus
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Center of Curvature: For a concave mirror, the center of curvature (C) is located at twice the focal length. With a focal length of 5 cm, C is at 10 cm.
Object Placement: The object is placed at 10 cm, which is exactly at the center of curvature.
Image Formation: When an object is at the center of curvature, the image is also formed at that same point, resulting in a real and inverted image
(When the object is located at the center of curvature, the image will also be located at the center of curvature.)(For concave mirror)
