In Older to obtain an inverted and magnified image of an object by a spherical mirror of radius of curvature 40 cm. the object should be placed:

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) between 20 cm and 40 cm from a concave mirror.

• Image Formation in Concave Mirror
• When the object is placed at infinity, the image formed is highly diminished, point size, real and inverted.
• When the object is placed beyond C (center of curvature), The image thus formed is diminished, real, and inverted.
• When the object is placed at C, the image formed has the same size as that of the object and it is real and inverted.
• When the object is placed between C and F (principal focus), The image is larger compared to the size of the object and it is real and inverted.
• When the object is placed at F, this results in the formation of a highly enlarged image that is real and inverted, at infinity. When the object is placed between F and P (Pole), The image formed here is virtual and erect and it is larger than the object.
