An object is placed in front of a curved mirror as shown. Which of the labeled positions is the correct position of the image? Position A Position B Position C Position D
im stuck between A and C , thinking maybe it is A?
I believe it should be C. Because the image is supposed to be behind the mirror? Let someone confirm this though. @justjm
Oh okay , good observation that would make sense, hmm okay Ill wait for @justjm response (:
It seems like \(d_o>C>>F\) When this is the case, the image is real, reduced, and inverted. A looks closest like this. I suggest you draw a ray tracing diagram
"When you place an object in front of a mirror, you see the same object in the mirror. This image that appears to be behind the mirror is called the image."
