When an object is placed at a distance greater than the focal length in front of a concave mirror, which type of image is formed under normal conditions?
A. Virtual and erect
B. Real and inverted✓ Correct Answer
C. Virtual and diminished
D. Real and erect
💡 Solution & Explanation
A concave mirror converges incident light rays to form a real and inverted image whenever the object is placed beyond the principal focus. Virtual images are formed only when the object is placed between the pole and the focus of the mirror. Real images can be projected onto a screen because the reflected rays actually intersect in front of the reflecting surface.
