The image formed by the concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object relative to the mirror? Draw ray diagram to justify answer.

Academic Physics NCERT Class 10

When the object is between Pole (P) and Focus (F) of a concave mirror:

The image formed is behind the mirror, so it is virtual
The image is erect
The image is enlarged

Whatever be the position of the object, the image formed by a mirror is virtual, erect and smaller than the object. The mirror then must be:(a) plane (b) concave (c) convex (d) either concave or convex
The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object?$(a)$. Between the principal focus and the centre of curvature$(b)$. At the centre of curvature$(c)$. beyond the centre of curvature$(d)$. Between the pole of the mirror and its principal focus.
Where should an object be placed in front of the concave mirror so as to obtain its virtual, erect and magnified image?
A virtual image larger than the object can be produced by a (i) concave lens (ii) concave mirror (iii) convex mirror (iv) plane mirror
What is the minimum number of rays required for locating the image formed by a concave mirror for an object? Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a virtual image by a concave mirror.
We wish to obtain an erect image of an object, using a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. What should be the range of distance of the object from the mirror? What is the nature of the image? Is the image larger or smaller than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is 50cm. Where should be an object be placed from the mirror so at to form its image at infinity? Justify your answer.
State where an object must be placed so that the image formed by a concave mirror is:(a) erect and virtual.(b) at infinity.(c) the same size as the object.
It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave mirror of focal length of 12 cm.(i) What should be the range of distance of an object placed in front of the mirror?(ii) Will the image be smaller or larger than the object? Draw ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case.(iii) Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed 24 cm in front of the mirror? Draw ray diagram for this situation also justify your answer.Show the positions of pole, principal focus, and the centre of curvature in the above ray diagrams.
Show by drawing a ray-diagram that the image of an object formed by a concave lens is virtual, erect and diminished.
An object is placed between infinity and the pole of a convex mirror. Draw a ray diagram and also state the position, the relative size and the nature of the image formed.
Where must the object be placed for the image formed by a converging lens to be:(a) real, inverted and smaller than the object?(b) real, inverted and same size as the object?(c) real, inverted and larger than the object?(d) virtual, upright and larger than the object?
If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always erect and diminished, what type of mirror is it? Draw a labelled ray diagram to support your answer.
An image formed by a lens is erect. Such an image could be formed by a$(a)$. convex lens provided the image is smaller than object.$(b)$. concave lens provided the image is smaller than object.$(c)$. concave lens provided the image is larger than object.$(d)$. concave lens provided the image is of the same size.
Where would the image be formed by a convex mirror if the object is placed:(a) between infinity and pole of the mirror?(b) at infinity?Draw labelled ray-diagrams to show the formation of image in both the case.
