Which statement is the best interpretation of the ray diagram shown below?
2 answers:
A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image
Explanation:
The figure is missing; see attachment.
There are two types of mirror:
- Concave (converging) mirrors: a concave mirror is a mirror that reflects the light inward
- Convex (diverging) mirrors: a convex mirror is a mirror that reflects the light outward
The image formed by a mirror can also be of two types:
- Real image: it is formed on the same side of the object, with respect to the mirror
- Virtual image: it is formed on the opposite side of the object, with respect to the mirror
In the figure of this problem (see attachment), we see that:
- The mirror reflects the light from the object inward --> so it is a concave mirror
- The image is formed on the other side of the mirror --> it is a virtual image
So the correct option is
A) A concave mirror forming a larger, virtual image
