Why does obtaining the image of the sun on a paper with the help of a concave mirror burn the paper?
Important Questions on Reflection of Light
If a spherical mirror breaks, what type of mirrors are the individual pieces?
What sign conventions are used for reflection from a spherical mirror?
Draw ray diagrams for the cases of images obtained in concave mirrors as described in the table given below.
| Si No | Position of the object | Position of the image |
| 1 | Between pole and focus | Behind the mirror |
| 2 | At the focus | At infinity |
| 3 | Between focus and centre of curvature | Beyond the centre of curvature |
| 4 | At the centre of curvature | At the centre of curvature |
| 5 | Beyond the centre of curvature | Between the centre of curvature and focus |
| 6 | At a very large(infinite) distance | At focus |
