Difference between Image formation of concave and convex mirror
Image formation of concave mirror
1.) Concave mirrors produce the real, inverted image of an object when kept at different positions.
2.) Images can get diminished as well as magnified depend upon the distance between object and mirror.
3.) When object is kept at infinite distance in front of concave mirror, it produces point image of object, which is inverted and real.
4.) When object is kept between focus and pole of mirror, it produces virtual and erected image, which gets highly magnified.
5.) When object is kept at centre of curvature of mirror, the image is also obtain at the same point, but this image is real and inverted.
6.) When object is kept between centre of curvature and focus, the image formed is beyond the centre of curvature. This image is real, inverted and magnified.
Image formation of convex mirror
1.) Convex mirror always produce virtual and erected image of object, which is always smaller than the size of object,
2.) Images can only diminished irrespective of position of object.
3.) When object is kept at infinite distance in front of convex mirror, it produces point image of object at focus, which is behind the mirror.
4.) When object is kept at any point between infinity and pole of convex mirror, its image is always formed behind mirror between pole and focus.
