List four properties of the image formed by a concave mirror when an object is placed between the focus and pole of the mirror.
The four properties of the image formed by a concave mirror when an object is placed between the focus and pole of the mirror are:
1. Virtual
2. Erect
3. Magnified
4. Behind the mirror.
Explanation
A concave mirror is a mirror that is curved inward in the middle. It is also known as converging mirrors , due to the fact that when parallel incident rays fall on the surface of the mirror, the rays will reflect and meet at a particular point and form the
image.
Depending on the position of the object with respect to the mirror, the types of images it forms are r eal, inverted as well as virtual and erect, also the size of the images formed are m agnified, diminished as well as the same size as that of the object.
