The image formed by concave mirror is real, inverted and of the same size as that of the object. The position of the object should be

  • A.at the focus
  • B.at the centre of curvature
  • C.between the focus and centre of curvature
  • D.beyond the centre of curvature

Answer: B

The object should be at the centre of curvature.

For a concave mirror, an object placed at the centre of curvature C forms a real, inverted image also at C, of the same size as the object. This follows from the mirror formula: with \(u = -2f\), the image distance \(v = -2f\) and the magnification is \(-1\).

An object at the focus gives an image at infinity. An object between F and C gives a real, inverted, enlarged image beyond C, and an object beyond C gives a real, inverted, diminished image between F and C.
