The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the nature of the final image formed when rays converge between the focal point (F) and the center of curvature (C) of a mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a concave mirror with a focal point (F) and a center of curvature (C). - The rays converge at a point between F and C. 2. **Using the Mirror Formula**: - The mirror formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ v = \frac{u \cdot f}{u - f} \] - Here, \(u\) is the object distance (which is negative for real objects in mirror conventions), and \(f\) is the focal length (negative for concave mirrors). 3. **Identifying the Sign of Distances**: - Since the rays converge between F and C, we know that \(u\) (the object distance) is greater than \(f\) (the focal length) but less than \(C\) (the center of curvature). - Thus, \(u < C\) and \(u > f\). 4. **Calculating the Image Distance (v)**: - Since \(u\) is greater than \(f\), substituting into the rearranged mirror formula shows that \(v\) will be greater than 0 (indicating a real image). - This means that the image is formed on the same side as the object. 5. **Determining the Nature of the Image**: - Since \(v > 0\), the image is real and inverted. - The image is also formed between F and C, which indicates it is larger than the object. 6. **Calculating the Magnification (M)**: - The magnification formula for mirrors is given by: \[ M = -\frac{v}{u} \] - Since \(v > 0\) and \(u < 0\) (as per mirror conventions), the magnification \(M\) will be negative, indicating that the image is inverted. ### Conclusion: - The final image formed is **real and inverted**.
