37. How do you find the nature of an object in a concave mirror? To determine the nature of an object in a concave mirror, consider its position relative to the focal point (f) and the center of curvature (C). If it is beyond C, the image is real and inverted; if between C and f, the image is real and inverted but smaller; if at f, there is no real image; if between the mirror and f, the image is virtual and upright.

39. What is the distance between object and image in a concave mirror? The distance between the object and the image in a concave mirror depends on the specific positions of the object and image. It can be calculated using the mirror equation.

40. Is concave mirror the same size as the object? No, a concave mirror does not necessarily produce an image that is the same size as the object. The size of the image can vary based on the object’s position and the mirror’s focal length.

41. When an object is 30 cm from a concave mirror? When an object is 30 cm from a concave mirror, you would need additional information, such as the focal length of the mirror, to determine the exact characteristics of the image.

42. Does a concave mirror make things bigger or smaller? A concave mirror can make things either bigger or smaller depending on the object’s position relative to the mirror. If the object is beyond the focal point, the image will be smaller; if it’s between the focal point and the mirror, the image will be larger.

43. What will be the size of image formed by a concave mirror when an object placed between pole and focus? When an object is placed between the pole (P) and the focal point (f) of a concave mirror, the image will be virtual, erect, and larger than the object. The exact size can be determined using the magnification formula (question 4).
