Question

Xander drew a diagram of a candle and its reflection in a mirror as shown below.

A candle sits to the right of a concave mirror. A black line from the base of the candle to the mirror has a point between the mirror and the candle with a dot labeled Focal Point. A purple arrow runs straight from the tip of the candle flame, reflects off the mirror and continues down and left through the focal point. A green arrow runs down and left to the lower part of the mirror through the focal point, reflects off the mirror and runs left parallel with and below the black line. A small image of the mirror with its base on the black line and the tip of the flame below the black line sits to the left of the focal point and to the right of the candle itself.

How should Xander describe the reflection?

A. The reflection of the candle in the concave mirror formed an upside-down real image that is smaller than the candle.
B. The reflection of the candle in the convex mirror formed an upside-down real image that is smaller than the candle.
C. The reflection of the candle in the concave mirror formed an upside-down virtual image that is smaller than the candle.
D. The reflection of the candle in the convex mirror formed an upside-down virtual image that is smaller than the candle.

Answer 1

The nature of the image depends on the position of the object which is the candle in this case.

What is a concave mirror?

A concave mirror is one of the types o curved mirror. We must note that the position and nature of the image is determined by the position of the object as shown on the ray diagram.

In this case the ray diagram is missing hence the question is incomplete. The nature of the image depends on the position of the object which is the candle in this case.
